Therefore, we aimed to assess mental health service satisfaction and its determinants in adult patients with mental illness in an outpatien…
The effect of depression on antiretroviral drug non-adherence among women living with HIV in Gondar health facilities, northwest Ethiopia

Depression and academic performance among youths in armed conflict areas in North Wollo, Ethiopia
Background: Adolescents living in war-affected areas are more likely to suffer from depression than adolescents living outside war-affected areas. However, there is limited evidence from Northern Ethiopia that was affected by armed conflicts. This study was conducted to assess the magnitude of depression and to identify inter-related factors with depression and academic performance in armed conflict-affected areas of North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. M…
Quality of life among people with mental illness attending a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Ethiopia

Sociodemographic factors, social support-related factors, drug use factors, and clinical factors, directly and indirectly affected QoL through the mediator variables of physical health domains, psychological health domains, social relation health domains, and environmental health domains. In order to improve the QoL of people wit…
Perceived occupational stress and associated factors among primary school teachers in the second wave of Covid-19 in Ethiopia
Background Occupational stress (OS) is a psychological state that results from people’s perceptions of an imbalance between job demands and their abilities to cope with those demands. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the teaching and learning process and compounded the stress level among teachers due to fear of transmission of the virus and school closures or the difficulty with adherence to the COVOD-19 prevention protocol. This survey study …
Prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors among older adults in Yirgalem town, Southern Ethiopia
This study found that depression affects more than half of the elderly residents in the study area. More advanced age, being a woman, living alone, having a chronic illness, having anxiety, and having poor social support were all strongly linked to depression. There is a need to integrate counseling and psychiatric services into the community healthcare system
Suicide attempt and its determinants among youth in central, north, and west Gondar zones, northwest Ethiopia
In this study, the prevalence of lifetime suicide attempts among youth is high. The presence of common mental health problems, having a personal income, risky sexual practices, and a history of violence increase the likelihood of suicide attempts. Working on the reduction of risky sexual practices, ensuring the integration of psychological treatment into medical treatment programs for victims of violence, psychosocial support for young people, an…
An Evaluation of Community Health Workers’ Knowledge, Attitude and Personal Lifestyle Behaviour in Non-Communicable Disease Health Promotion and Their Association with Self-Efficacy and NCD-Risk Perce…
Community health workers, also known as health extension workers (HEWs), play an important role in health promotion. This study evaluates HEWs' knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy for non-communicable diseases (NCD) health promotion. HEWs (n = 203) completed a structured questionnaire on knowledge, attitude, behaviour, self-efficacy and NCD risk perception. Regression analysis was used to determine the association between self-efficacy and NCD…
Longitudinal functional status trajectories and its predictors among postpartum women with and without maternal morbidities in Northwest Ethiopia
INTRODUCTION: Unlike physiological recovery, return to full functional status following childbirth takes longer than 6 weeks (42 days) of the traditionally defined postnatal period, and women with maternal morbidity usually require a longer period to recover. However, the extent to which this morbidity collectively impacts on women's functional status is not well investigated in Ethiopia. We aim to determine the distinct trajectories and predicto…
Relationship between social support and schizophrenia relapse among patients with schizophrenia on follow-up at Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The present study showed that there was a relationship between relapse and social support, and this indicates that social support can be a good predictor of schizophrenia relapse. The caregivers and clinicians of the patients should increase their support to the patients, while hospitals with mental health services have to encourage formation of better social support for the patients, including psychosocial interventions which will be performed t…
