Missed opportunity for routine vaccination and associated factors among children aged 0-23 months in public health facilities of Jimma Town.

The current recommendation obligates children to receive all vaccines within two years of birth. The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) was established in Ethiopia to increase the immunization rate by 10% annually and to reach 100% in 10 years but not been achieved in twenty years. Missed opportunity for vaccination (MOV) is one of the major factors in vaccination coverage. Hence, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of MOV and associated factors in Jimma Town public health facilities. A facility-based cross-sectional study design was employed with a quantitative data collection method. The sample size was calculated using a single population proportion formula. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and data extraction methods and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The statistical association was decided at p-value <0.05 with 95% CI, and AOR. A total of 422 children were involved in this study making a 100% response rate. The magnitude of MOV was 39.8% (95%CI: 35-45). Parents/caretakers have not attended formal education (AOR = 4.65, CI:1.64-13.24), residing in rural (AOR = 2.60, CI: 1.35-5.03), poor knowledge about immunization (AOR = 2.61, CI: 1.58-4.30), the child not assessed for vaccination status (AOR = 3.01, CI: 1.65-5.49), and parents/caretakers not seen/heard vaccination message in the last month (AOR = 2.42, CI: 1.40-4.18) were statistically positively associated with the MOV. In conclusion, this study indicated that MOV among the children was high in the study facilities. The researchers recommended stakeholders work on strengthening community awareness creation. Additionally, further study incorporating physician-related factors is also suggested.

Complication experience during pregnancy and place of delivery among pregnant women: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Unlike other causes such as abortion, obstetric complications like hemorrhage, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, which are difficult to resolve for women who give birth out of health facilities are persisted or increased to be the cause of maternal mortality in Ethiopia. Direct obstetric complications resulted in the crude direct obstetric case fatality rate in this country. This study aimed to assess the relationship between Complication Experience during Pregnancy and Place of Delivery among Pregnant Women. METHOD: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the baseline information as a part of a randomized control trial study. The sample size that was calculated for the cohort study with the assumptions to detect an increase in a minimum acceptable diet from 11 to 31%, with 95% CIs and 80% power, an intra-cluster correlation coefficient of 0·2 for a cluster size of 10 was used for this study. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. RESULT: The prevalence of self-reported pregnancy-related complications and home delivery were 79(15.9%, CI; 12.7-19.1) and 46.90% (95%CI; 42.5-51.1) respectively. Women who did not face vaginal bleeding were five times AOR 5.28(95% CI: 1.79-15.56) more like to give birth at home than those who faced this problem. Women who did not face severe headache were nearly three AOR 2.45(95%CI:1.01-5.97) times more like to give birth at home. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that home delivery was high among the study participants whereas pregnancy-related complications such as vaginal bleeding and severe headache were identified as protective factors for facility delivery. Hence, the researchers recommended the incorporation of "storytelling" into the existing health extension program packages to improve facility delivery which shall be applied after the approval of its effectiveness by further research.

Sexual Satisfaction among Married Women in Tiro Afeta District: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Sexual satisfaction is directly related to marital sustainability and quality of life. This study assessed the magnitude of sexual satisfaction and associated factors among married women. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 18 to June 8/2021 using mixed data collection methods. The sample was calculated using single population proportion formula for the quantitative part while data saturation was applied for the qualitative part. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to get participants for the quantitative and the qualitative parts respectively. The quantitative data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25, and the qualitative data were analyzed manually. Ordinal logistic regression was applied to explore the model. P-value <0.05 and AOR with a 95%CI were used to identify the statistical significance of the association. Result: About 398 married women participated in the study, making a response rate of 94.3% and 44.7% of them were moderately satisfied with their sexual life. Sexual satisfaction among the married women was significantly associated negatively with attending elementary education 99.9% [AOR=0.1, 95%CI:0.0,0.4)], positively with having social responsibility 19[AOR=19.3, 95%CI: 1.8, 28.3], and negatively with having poor sexual attitude 97%[AOR=0.1, 95%CI: 0.0, 0.3]. The qualitative finding showed that the majority of women engage in sexual intercourse for the satisfaction of their partners, without their needs. Conclusion: Sexual satisfaction among married women was low in the study area. Comprehensive sexual and reproductive health awareness and strengthening of the prevention of harmful traditional practices are recommended.

Quality of Antenatal Care Service and Factors Associated with Client Satisfaction at Public Health Facilities of Bele Gasgar District.

Background: Quality of service and client satisfaction are crucial to increase services utilization. However, there is a paucity of data in this study area. Consequently, this study aimed to assess "Quality of Antenatal Care (ANC) and client satisfaction in Public Health Facilities". Method: Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 11 to April 19, 2019. Systematic random sampling was used to select 366 women. Data were collected through the exit interview, data extraction, and observation. Result: Quality of ANC was 30% (95% CI = 25-35). About 55% (95% CI = 50-60) of women were satisfied with the services. Iron/folic acid supplementation (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI;1.30-4.79), measuring weight (AOR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.40-9.31), travel time >60 min (AOR = 4, 95% CI;2.3-8.16) and 60-120 min (AOR = 3.68, 95% CI = 1.61-8.38), and consultation time (AOR = 2.89, 95% CI = 1.14-7.31) were positively associated with client satisfaction, while health professional initiation to ask question never (AOR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.08-0.43) and to ask sometimes (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.16-0.65) were negatively associated. Conclusion: Quality of ANC was low while clients' satisfaction was moderately low. Therefore, improvement in the area of input, process, and output is recommended.

Early postnatal discharge during COVID-19: A cross-sectional study.

INTRODUCTION: Postnatal hospital stay is decreased by 30% during COVID-19 in developed countries. However, there is paucity of data in developing countries. Hence, this study aims to assess the prevalence of early postnatal discharge during COVID-19 in Jimma Health Centers. METHODS: Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 February to 30 March 2021. Sample was calculated using single population proportion formula and allocated proportionally to the health centers. Data were interred into Epidata version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 22.0 for analysis. Multivariable regression was done to identify associating factors at p < 0.05. RESULT: Three hundred ninety women were included into study making a response rate of 96.8%. Early discharge prevalence was 316 (81.0%). Attending elementary school adjusted odds ratio = 0.26 (confidence interval = 0.087-0.798), plan for postnatal care within a week adjusted odds ratio = 0.410 (confidence interval = 0.221-0.760), knowing postnatal maternal danger sign adjusted odds ratio = 0.258 (confidence interval = 0.141-0.473), women adjusted odds ratio = 0.421 (confidence interval = 0.211-0.838), or husband adjusted odds ratio = 0.051 (confidence interval = 0.014-0.186) made decision of discharge were negatively and distance on foot <30 min adjusted odds ratio = 3 (confidence interval = 1.121-8.058) was positively associated with early discharge significantly. CONCLUSION: This study has identified early postnatal discharge is high which can contribute to reduce the risk of acquiring COVID-19. However, the authors recommend further study to differentiate whether early discharge is due to COVID-19 or other reasons.
