Incidence and risk factors of hyperglycemic emergencies in adults with diabetes in the public hospitals in Harari region, Eastern Ethiopia
Hyperglycemic emergencies are the most common life-threatening acute metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus. The number of hyperglycemic emergency admissions over the past decade has increased worldwide, with recent data reporting a 55% increase in the rate of diabetic ketoacidosis hospitalizations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of hyperglycemic emergencies among adult diabetic patients at public hosp…
Human papillomavirus vaccine uptake and associated factors among adolescent girls in Bona district, Sidama regional state, Ethiopia
Introduction In developing nations, adult women’s cancer deaths are mostly caused by cervical cancer. Vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the cost-effective global strategies for cervical cancer prevention, though vaccine uptake remains low in low-resource settings like Ethiopia. Despite the vaccine’s proven effectiveness in tackling cervical-related deaths, there is a dearth of evidence in Ethiopia, particularly in the s…
Coping Strategies Following Fetal Loss Among Women Who Gave Birth in Selected Health Facilities in Eastern Ethiopia
Pregnancy is typically a joyous experience, but in low-resource settings, many pregnancies end in fetal loss, which has profound emotional and psychological effects. This is a phenomenological qualitative study used to investigate coping mechanisms using the Living with Grief after Pregnancy Loss model among purposively selected women who experienced fetal loss in two major hospitals in Harar Town, eastern Ethiopia. Results: Fourteen women (mean …

Interventions targeting these factors could further empower women in contraceptive decision-making
Drug use and its associated factors among in-school adolescents in Harari region of eastern Ethiopia
This study aimed to determine the magnitude of current drug use and its associated factors among randomly selected 3227 in-school adolescents in eastern Ethiopia using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires adapted from the Global School-Based Health Survey. The magnitude of current drug use among in-school adolescents was 5.67% (95% CI: 4.92–6.52). Rural residence (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.43; 3.54), social media …

Introduction Hypertension is a silent killer that causes serious health issues in all parts of the world. Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Self-care practices have been identified as an important component of hypertension management. Despite the government's commitment and the interventions of various stakeholders, the burden of hypertension and its sequel remain unabated. A recent study showed…
Prevalence of Group B Streptococcus Recto-Vaginal Colonization, Vertical Transmission, and Antibiotic Susceptibility Among Pregnant Women in Ethiopia
Factors influencing place of delivery in Ethiopia
Introduction Maternal mortality remains high, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Institutional delivery is one of the key intervention to reduce it. Despite service utilization reflects an interplay of demand- and supply-side factors, previous studies mainly focused on either sides due to methodological challenges and data availability. But, a more comprehensive understanding can be obtained by assessing both sides. The aim of this study is to ass…
