Yet, evidence of the husbands' involvement in skilled birth attendant service utilization in Ethiopia is scarce, which limits the facility to improve institutional delivery services. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of husbands' involvement in skilled birth attendant service utilization among fathers of children of less than one year in Deder town, Oromiya, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire among 399 fathers selected by a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face interview from March 24 to April 20, 2021. Data entry was done by Epi-data version-4.2 and analyzed with SPSS version-21. Descriptive statistics used frequency, mean and median and presented by tables and figures. The level of significance was set at p-value ≤0.05 for multivariable logistic regression and an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to measure the degree of statistical significance of dependent and independent variables. Result: The prevalence of husbands' involvement in skilled birth attendant service utilization was 84.2%. The age group of 25 to 29 years (AOR = 2.63, CI: 1.124-6.142), prior knowledge of skilled-delivery attendants (AOR = 2.75, CI: 1.456-5.205) and good attitude towards skilled birth attendants (AOR =2.46, CI: 1.227-4.948) were statistically significant determinants of husbands' involvement in skilled birth attendants service utilization. Conclusion and recommendation: This study revealed that the husbands' involvement in skilled birth attendants was high. Age, level of knowledge and attitude were the significant determinants of husbands' involvement in promoting skilled-delivery attendants. Therefore, improving husbands' level of knowledge and attitude towards skilled birth attendants is needed.

The study involved 15 participants, who were selected using purposive sampling, and data was collected through face-to-face one-on-one interviews using open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically. The study found that language barriers, poor reading habits, a lack of guidance and advisory services, a lack of study time, poor communication, and the absence of up-to-date learning materials were the major reasons for low performance in licensure examinations. The study recommends providing up-to-date materials, challenging assignments, focusing on professional courses from entry to the profession, and creating strong guidance, advisory, monitoring, and evaluation services to improve students' academic success. The study's findings highlight a knowledge gap and may serve as a basis for stakeholders to improve students' academic success. However, the study has limitations, such as its inability to generalize the findings to the source population, the absence of related published data, and the exclusion of other stakeholders such as parents and employers. The study recommends a mixed-method or follow-up study incorporating other stakeholders to yield better findings.

Objectives: To assess factors affecting academic performance of health science students in case of Harar Health Science College. Method: A crosssectional study design was employed to assess factors affecting academic performance of the health science students enrolled in full-time undergraduate programs. Total of 332 participants were recruited for the study. Sample students were selected by creating strata among the study programs and then the samples were distributed to each department using proportional allocation. Data was checked for completeness and consistency and then entered to Epi-Data version 3.1 and exported and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis frequencies mean and standard deviation were used. Independent sample T-tests were used to determine the relationship between identified factors and students' profile on academic performance. Result: In the present study, a total of 332 study participants were involved, the mean age was 22.7 years with SD +2.03. Teacher related factors were the major influential factors affecting academic performance of the students, with the highest grand mean value of 3.57, followed by student related factors and home related factors with grand mean of 3.51 and 3.27. The study found that gender had a significant difference on the level of identify factors, with females scoring highest and males scoring lowest (F value 4.36, p-value 0.037). Different years of level had significant difference on the degree of factors affecting academic performance, with third years scoring the highest mean and the second years scoring the lowest (F value of 7.99, p-value 0.000).
