Preconception care bridges the gap in the continuum of care and addresses pre-pregnancy health risks and health problems that could have negative maternal and fetal consequences. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the practice of preconception care and associated factors among pregnant women in Manna district, Jimma zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional design and triangulated with qualitative data was conducted among 636 pregnant women from March 02 to April 10, 2019. The 26 Gandas of the district were first stratified into urban and rural. Then, the urban Ganda was taken purposively and among the 25 rural Gandas, 8 Gandas were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. Judgmental sampling technique was used to select the qualitative participants. The data were collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaires through face-to-face interviews. The data were entered into Epi data Manager Version 4.0.2 and then exported to SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis, Binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out. Qualitative data were analyzed by using Atlas ti version 7.0.71. Result: Among 623 respondents, 39(6.3%) of pregnant women had good practice of preconception care. Women who had formal education AOR 3.27[95% C.I 1.11-9.60], reside in urban AOR 3.33[95% C.I 1.26-8.81], those who were on follow up for pre-existing medical illnesses AOR 4.52[95% C.I 1.61-12.70] and those who had good knowledge of preconception care 4.18[1.64-10.65] were more likely to had good practice of preconception care compared to their counterparts. Conclusion: In this study, women’s practice of preconception care was low compared to other studies. Attending formal education, residing in urban, being on follow up for pre-existing medical illnesses, and having good knowledge of preconception care were independent predictors of women’s practice of preconception care. Therefore, all the concerned bodies are recommended to work towards the improvements of women’s practice of preconception care especially through raising the awareness of the community.","PeriodicalId":93471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health care and management","volume":"40 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79239514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malaria is a major public health problem in Ethiopia and has been consistently reported as one of the three leading top causes of morbidity and mortality. In East Wollega Zone there is lack of empirical evidences on the level of malaria prevalence. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out to determine the two year (July 2018 to June 2020) malaria prevalence based on district health information system version two (dhis2) database reports. All malaria cases reported in the specified periods were carefully reviewed by using questionnaire and analysed. Data were entered, processed and analysed into Microsoft Excel 2010 and then imported into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Different graphs and tables were used to present trends of malaria cases and total population. Results: Between July 2018 to June 2018, a total of 125,917 suspected malaria cases examined from all districts of East Wollega Zone and 26,679(21.2%) confirmed malaria cases were reported. Malaria was reported in both sexes and all age groups, but males (14802, 55.5%), and age groups ≥ 15years (15963, 60%) were more affected. The highest peak of malaria cases was reported during autumn season (September, October, and November) followed by spring season (March, April, and May). Conclusions: Male and those age groups ≥ 15years were more affected than the others. The highest peak malaria prevalence was appeared from September to December (autumn season). Therefore, proper planning, implementation and monitor of malaria prevention and control activities should be strengthened at all levels.","PeriodicalId":93471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health care and management","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73855143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The target range for complementary feeding is generally taking to be 6-24 months while breast feeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Inappropriate initiation of complementary feeding practices is a major obstacle in attaining and maintaining child health. Objective: To assess prevalence of timely initiation of complementary feeding practice among mothers of children aged from 6 to 24 months living in Goba town, Bale zone, south east Ethiopia from April 20 to June 20, 2019. Methodology: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 346 mothers or care givers who have children 6-24 months of age living in 03 kebele, Goba town, selected by simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by trained interviewer using semi-structured questionnaires filled for respondent after data collection, all collected data analyzed by SPSS software version 20.

This is likely caused by various social determinants of health; namely stress, anxiety, socioeconomic standing and employment benefits. The research done for this paper focuses primarily on the influence of access to paid maternity leave on the rate of PPD as seen across the US and compared against other countries. Paid maternity leave has been identified as a beneficial contributor to positive maternal mental health outcomes following birth and is actively being advocated for within some states throughout the country. Studies conducted reveal how many mothers face stress related to securing employment throughout their leave while most employers that ensure adequate lengths of paid leave see only positive effects – if any – on the company’s overall productivity and profitability. Scholars across the country have come to the common conclusion that a paid leave of at least six months would in turn exhibit positive changes in maternal mental health throughout the lifespan.","PeriodicalId":93471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health care and management","volume":"65 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83246529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Main body: Broad controversy exists in the literature about fertility treatment-induced cancer, although clinical trials are generally more focused. In order to present comprehensive strategies, the author has attempted to synthesize findings from Forty-seven research papers. The purpose of this study is to present a systematic review of the available evidence-based research paper concerning the relationship between fertility drug and gynecological cancers. Conclusion: The result of this study shows support for the correlation between fertility drugs and certain cancer risk, the correlation should continue to be monitored because the included studies had several limitations and multiple differences in the way they were conducted.

However, in developing countries including Ethiopia many women use the short-acting contraceptives. This study intended to assess the magnitude and factors affecting LARC utilization among reproductive age women in Silti District, Southern Ethiopia. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was applied on 528 women using a systematic sampling technique in the period May 1-30, 2018. The data were collected by a pre-tested and structured questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-data (version3.1) and analyzed through SPSS (version 22). A multivariable logistic regression was utilized to ascertain the associated of LARC utilization at 95% confidence interval. P-value <0.05 was taken as a cut of point to declare the level of statistical significance. Results: The overall prevalence of LARC was 18.3%. The significantly associated factors of LARC were; maternal educational level of college and above (AOR=4.4, 95% CI:1.48-12.99), having positive attitude towards LARC (AOR=1.76, 95% CI:1.01-3.04), having a moderate and high level of knowledge towards LARC(AOR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.15-3.80) and(AOR=2.28, 95% CI:1.15-4.5), respectively. Conclusions: The uptake of LARC was still underused in the study setting. Maternal educational status, having a moderate and high level of knowledge besides to a positive attitude towards LARC was found to have a significant association with the uptake of LARC. Improving educational status of the mothers, advancing their knowledge and creating a positive attitude towards LARC are very important to raise LARC utilization.","PeriodicalId":93471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health care and management","volume":"119 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90536840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is limited information on the magnitude and associated risk factors of uterine prolapse in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the factors of uterine prolapse. Materials and methods: Hospital based retrospective study was conducted at University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest, Ethiopia from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2019. Computer based simple random sampling technique was used to select patient‘s cards. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. Statistical differences were considered at P<0.05. Results: The overall prevalence of uterine prolapse during the study period was 91(22.3%). Age (COR=5.12; 95% CI: 2.05, 12.78), residence (COR=5.83; 95% CI:2.66, 12.78), abortion history (COR=4.77; 95% CI:1.72, 13.23) and place of delivery (COR=2.76; 95% CI:1.14 6.69, 13.23) were factors significantly associated with uterine prolapse. Conclusions: This study reveals that nearly one fourth of women suffer with uterine prolapse. This finding indicated that uterine prolapse is a major public health issue in Ethiopia. Therefore, the local government should give emphasis for older and rural women. Health institution delivery should also be advocated to minimize the proportion of home deliveries.","PeriodicalId":93471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health care and management","volume":"109 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75961832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
