Burden of carpal tunnel syndrome and its associated factors among construction industry workers in Gondar town, Ethiopia
The magnitude of carpal tunnel syndrome was 11.7% among construction workers. Being of older age, having more experience, cigarette smoking, and working with finger-pressing tools were risk factors significantly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome among construction workers. Employers should implement work safety education programs that raise awareness about the risks of cigarette smoking and encourage employers and supervisors to seek early m…
Cross-cultural adaptation, content validity, and reliability of the Amharic version of the modified John-Hopkins fall risk assessment scale among older adults who attend home health care services
Background: The modified John-Hopkins fall risk assessment tool (mJH-FRAT) is a comprehensive and multi-factor fall risk assessment tool used to screen and grade older adult's fall risk levels in home health care services. This can help to identify risky individuals early, establish prevention protocols, and reduce the occurrence of injury. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of contextually valid and reliable fall risk assessment tools among this po…
Individual and community-level determinants and spatial distribution of prenatal HIV test uptake in Ethiopia
Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing and counseling services are routine prenatal care services for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Although the prevalence of HIV infection is high among women, evidence suggests that the uptake of HIV testing during prenatal services in Ethiopia is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate individual- and community-level determinants and the spatial dis…
Pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive age women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background Despite the commitments of the government to minimize unintended pregnancy, abortion, and unmet need for contraceptives, as per our search of the literature, there is no study on the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive-aged women in …
Community and individual level determinants and spatial distribution of deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia
The prevalence of deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia is relatively low. Individual-level factors such as; maternal education and occupation, having ANC visit, child age, household media exposure, and community-level variables such as; community media usage had a significant association with deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia. These findings highlight that, the Ministry of Health (MOH) Ethiopia should prepare a regu…
Self-reported fall and associated factors among adult people with visual impairment in Gondar, Ethiopia
The result of this study indicates a moderate self-reported prevalence of fall among adult people with medically diagnosed visual impairment. Identifying sub-groups at risk of falls among visually impaired, modifiable risk factors, implementation of precaution measures to avoid fall and fall-related injuries, and most importantly measures that would reduce the fear of falls in visually impaired people deserves immediate attention
