However, studies on factors associated with Implanon discontinuation in Ethiopia, particularly in the area under this study, are limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify the determinants of Implanon discontinuation among women who used Implanon at Debre Berhan town public health institutions.Methods and materialsA facility-based unmatched case–control study was conducted among 312 study participants (78 cases and 234 controls) from February 1, 2021, to April 30, 2021. The study participants were selected by using a systematic random sampling method for controls, and cases were selected consecutively until the required sample size was reached, during the data collection period.

In 2017, approximately, 810 women died every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth around the world. Obstetric hemorrhage, specifically postpartum hemorrhage, is the leading cause of preventable maternal mortality in the world. New strategies and technologies are needed to reduce the global public health epidemic of maternal mortality. However, nonpneumatic antishock garments were recently introduced and incorporated into teaching curriculums as a management modality for postpartum hemorrhage in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the knowledge, utilization and associated factors of nonpneumatic antishock garment among maternity ward healthcare professionals in the selected South Wollo zone health facilities, North West Ethiopia. Methods. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from February 1 to April 30, 2021. A consecutive sampling technique was employed to collect the data.

Cervical cancer screening service has a vital value to reduce morbidity and mortality. Even though cervical cancer screening service utilization in Ethiopia is unacceptably low, its determinant factors were not well studied in the study area. Hence, this study was aimed at filling this information gap. This study aimed to identify determinants of cervical cancer screening service utilization among women attending healthcare services in Amhara region referral hospitals, Ethiopia. Methods Hospital-based case–control study was conducted among 441 women (147 cases and 294 controls) from May to July 2021. Cases were included consecutively and controls were selected using a systematic random sampling technique from the randomly selected hospitals. A pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from respondents. The d...

Implanon is a long-acting contraceptive method that is extremely effective in preventing pregnancy with a clinical failure rate of less than 1%. Despite these, the rate of Implanon discontinuation is a common problem in various societies and exposes women to unwanted conception and its consequences. Objective. The current study sought to find and consolidate relevant literature on Implanon discontinuation and associated factors in Ethiopia. Methods. Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were systematically searched for studies published in English before December 2021. The included studies were critically appraised using the JBI instrument for observational studies. STATA version 16 was used for analysis. The presence of statistical heterogeneity was checked using Cochran’s Q test, and its level was quantified using I 2 statistics. A pooled estimate of the proportion of outcome variables was calculated. To measure the effect size, pooled...

The impact of the pandemic is both social and economic. Pregnancy is an exciting and sometimes stressful experience. Being pregnant during a disease outbreak may add extra anxiety and concern for pregnant women and for those who provide care for them [1, 2].During the initial stages of the pandemic, it appeared Africa would be spared the burden of COVID-19. However, by April 7th, a total of 45 countries within the WHO African region had reported over 7000 cases (although some place it at over 10 000), with at least 292 deaths and 612 people recovered. Ethiopia, being one of the developing countries trying to address the diverse needs of its people, is currently at the verge of the epidemic [5, 7].ObjectivesThe general objective of this study was to assess the impact of COVID-19 infection on maternal and reproductive health care services among mothers getting service in gov...

For these conditions, induction of labour is as an artificial termination of pregnancy utilized to decrease both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The process of inducing labour is not always successful and sometimes fails to achieve a safe vaginal delivery. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on medical records of 319 registered women who undergo labour induction at Dessie referral hospital from January 01 to February 2017. Systematic sampling techniques were used to select the samples. The data was cleaned, edited, coded, and entered into EPI INFO version 3.5 and exported and analyzed by SPSS with windows version 20.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression statistical model was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was computed to see the strength of association. O...

In Ethiopia, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer following breast cancer and the leading cause of death from cancer. Annually, an estimated number of 4648 women develop the cancer and 3,235 die from it. Low-resource countries experience 85% of the global burden and in regions such as Eastern Africa and South-Central Asia. Low perception of risks and lack of awareness about cervical cancer screening amongst women and challenges of access to cervical cancer screening for early detection of disease have been reported amongst factors responsible for increasing incidence and mortality due to cervical cancer in developing countries [2]. Objective: The general objective of this study was to determine the proportions of cervical precancerous lesions and to assess associated factors among women clients (...
