ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess maternal satisfaction with delivery service and associated factors among mothers delivered at Arba Minch town governmental health facilities, South Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional design study was conducted from 1 April to 30 June 2022. The total sample size was 320. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select mothers. Data were entered using Epi-data Version 3.1 and exported to SPSS Version 25 for analysis. Multicollinearity was considered using a variance inflation factor. The goodness of fit test was done using the Hosmer-Lemeshow model. Binary logistic regression was done, and variables with a p-value of <0.25 in the bivariable analysis were taken into the multivariable analysis. Statistically significant was declared at a p-value of <0.05 with an adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Result: The maternal satisfaction with delivery service was 75.0% (95% CI: 70.3%-79.4%). Being urban residence (AOR: 4.15, 95% CI: 1.87-9.19), absence of anemia during pregnancy (AOR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.07-5.29), absence of antepartum hemorrhage (AOR: 2.96, 95% CI: 1.35-6.50), induction to onset labor (AOR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.02-0.39), female sex of the newborn (AOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.15-0.72), absence of fetal distress during labor (AOR: 5.01, 95% CI: 1.69-14.86), absence of intrauterine meconium release (AOR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.02-7.63), and presence of privacy measures during examination (AOR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.37-7.04) were associated with maternal satisfaction. Conclusion and recommendation: About 8 in 10 mothers are satisfied with the delivery service. Residence, anemia during pregnancy, antepartum hemorrhage, the onset of labor, sex of the newborn, fetal distress during labor, intrauterine meconium release, and privacy measures during examination are associated with maternal satisfaction with delivery services. Therefore, preventing anemia during pregnancy and antepartum hemorrhage, minimizing induction of labor, preventing fetal distress and intrauterine meconium release during labor, and taking privacy measures during examination might enhance maternal satisfaction with delivery services.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Menstrual hygiene management practice is the requirements and necessities; such as the use of a sanitary pad or clean and mushy absorbents, sufficient washing of the genital area, proper disposal of the used absorbents, and other special needs for the women during menstruation. Objective: To assess menstrual hygiene management practice and associated factors among prisoners in south Nation Nationalities and Peoples Region, Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1 to July 30/2022. The total sample size was 605 and a simple random sampling technique was used to select prison institutions and women. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Data were entered using Epi data 4.6 version and analyzed by using SPSS version 26 software. Multicollinearity was checked and the goodness of fit test was done by using the Hosmer Lemeshow model of goodness fit test. Univariate analysis was done and variables with p value less than 0.25 were taken to bivariate logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratio with the 95% confidence interval was considered and statistical significance was at a p-value less than 0.05 in bivariate logistic regression analysis. Result: The prevalence of menstrual hygiene management practice was 50.6% (95% CI 47.3-54.4). Age 19-29 years old [AOR: 5.03, 95% CI 1.73-14.62], educational status; not formally educated [AOR: 0.05, 95% CI 0.02-0.13], educational status; primary level [AOR: 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.39], previous occupation; student [AOR: 2.56, 95% CI 1.06-6.21], previous occupation; a private employee [AOR: 4.11, 95% CI 1.48-11.42], previous occupation; government employee [AOR: 3.46, 95% CI 1.18-10.14], absence of support from family [AOR: 0.14, 95% CI 0.08-0.24] and absence of work engagement in prison [AOR: 0.44, 95% CI 0.25-0.78] were associated with MHMP. Conclusion: In this study, about five from ten women in prison practice menstrual hygiene management. Age, educational status, previous occupation, support from family, and work engagement in prison were important risk factors for MHMP. Therefore, support from family and engaging the women to work in prison institutions may increase the MHMP in prison institutions.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There is an increased prevalence of psychological distress in adults with asthma. Psychological distress describes unpleasant feelings or emotions that impact the level of functioning. It is a significant exacerbating factor in asthma control. Addressing factors that contribute to psychological distress in those asthma patients improves asthma outcomes. So, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychological distress and associated factors among asthmatic patients at Hawassa public hospitals, Ethiopia, 2021. METHODS: Institution-based cross-sectional study design was used to select 394 asthma patients. Proportional allocation and systematic sampling techniques were used to select study participants. A logistic regression model was used to assess the predictors and psychological distress of the asthmatic patient. The association was interpreted using the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. RESULT: A total of 394 asthma patients participated in the study, giving a response rate of 93.4%. The prevalence of psychological distress among asthmatic patients was 51% [95%CI: 46%-56%]. Participants who had comorbid medical illness [AOR: 6.049, 95% CI (3.131-11.684)], experienced stigma [AOR: 3.587, 95%CI (1.914-6.723)], chewed khat [AOR: 7.268, 95%CI (3.468-15.231)], had poor social support and had uncontrolled asthma were significantly associated with psychological distress in asthmatic patients. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the prevalence of psychological distress was found to be high among asthmatic patients. Social support, stigma, chewing khat, comorbid medical illness, and poor asthmatic control had significantly associated with psychological distress in asthmatic patients.
