Women in developing countries are exposed to disempowerment. This leads to mortality and morbidity in women through the inhibition of maternal care, such as antenatal care. It is impossible to decrease maternal mortality without su cient and timely antenatal care. However, the association between women's empowerment and antenatal care utilization has been understudied. Therefore, this research aimed to assess the association of women's empowerment dimensions with antenatal care utilization. Method A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 305 mothers selected by systematic random sampling from July 1-August 31, 2022. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected data were entered into Epi-Data Manager version 4.6.0.6 and then exported to SPSS version 26. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the associations among the variables. Results Out of 305 respondents, 301 provided a complete response, which is a response rate of 99.1%. Approximately 187 (62.1%) study participants utilized adequate antenatal care [95% CI];[56.4,67.6]. The majority of women's empowerment dimensions have a statistically positive correlation with adequate antenatal care utilization. In addition, multivariate logistic regression showed that [AOR (95% C. I)], high self-e cacy [AOR = 2.06 (1.16, 3.68)], high selfesteem [AOR = 2.74 (1.52, 4.94)], an internal locus of control [AOR = 2.21 (1.23, 3.96)], and labor work participation [AOR = 2.28 (1.22, 4.28)] were all associated with antenatal care utilization. Conclusion Women's empowerment dimensions have a positive and statistically signi cant association with antenatal care utilization. To improve recommended antenatal care utilization by mothers, the empowerment of women by health professionals, hospitals, and other stakeholders is very important.

There is a pressing need for research examining factors influencing effective implementation of therapeutic communication in relation to patient-centered care and satisfaction. Objective: This study was aimed at determining the effective implementation of therapeutic communication and its predictors. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Jimma University Specialized Hospital from March 21 to April 9, 2016. One hundred ninety two patients were recruited using stratified sampling. A questionnaire was used to collect data. One-way ANOVA for mean difference by socio-demographic characteristics, simple and multivariable linear regressions were conducted. Results: The study revealed that 67(34.9%) of the patients rated high level of therapeutic communication. Significant predictors of therapeutic communication implementation were educational status (β ¼ 5.87, P ¼ 0.011), language difference (β ¼-6, P ¼ 0.014), education difference (β ¼ 5.21, P ¼ 0.010) and perceived patient view score (β ¼ 3.57, P˂0.001). Conclusion: Therapeutic communication was poorly implemented. Education, language difference, education difference and perceived patient view scores were significant predictors of therapeutic communication.

However, there is limited literature in areas related to nurses' manager leadership style. The objective of this research was thus to investigate the relationship between leadership style of nurse managers and nurses' job satisfaction in Jimma University Specialized Hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at Jimma University Specialized Hospital from January to June 2012 and used a non-experimental correlation design. All full time, non-supervisory nurses with an experience of more than one year in nursing profession were participated in the study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version16.0 statistical software. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics followed by the application of inferential statistics on the variables. Significance level was considered when p<0.05. Results: A total of 175 copies of the questionnaires were returned out of 186 copies distributed to respondents. The result indicated that nurses can prefer transformational leadership style over transactional leadership style and had moderate-level intrinsic (M=2.72, SD=0.71) but low level of extrinsic job satisfaction (M=1.83, SD=0.68). Furthermore, from transactional leadership, only contingent reward was found to be statically significant and correlated with extrinsic (B=0.45, p<0.01) and intrinsic job satisfaction (B=0.32, p<0.05) while all five dimension of transformational leadership style were statistically significant and correlated with both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction. Conclusion: Nurses tended to be more satisfied with the transformational leadership than transactional leadership style. Therefore, nurses' managers should use transformational leadership style in order to increase nurses' job satisfaction.

World Health Organization strongly recommends that every obstetrical provider at birth needs to have knowledge and skills on active management of the third stage of labor and use it routinely for all women. However, implementation of this lifesaver intervention by skilled birth attendants is questionable because 3% to 16.5% of women still experience postpartum hemorrhage. Even though coverage of giving births at health facilities in Ethiopia increases, postpartum hemorrhage accounts for 12.2% of all maternal deaths occurring in the country. Lack of the necessary skills of birth attendants is a major contributor to these adverse birth outcomes. Objectives. This study aimed to assess the active management of the third stage of labor practice and associated factors among obstetric care providers. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study design was applied from March 15 to April 15, 2020. Multistage sampling techniques were used to get 254 participants, and data w...
