Incomplete basic vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in resource-limited countries
Background Childhood basic vaccinations are a cost-effective and essential preventive health strategy globally in resource-limited nations. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals aim to reach these ambitious targets, making it crucial to identify underserved populations and address the barriers they face in accessing life-saving immunizations. To date, no spatial analyses have been performed to identify areas of hotspots of incomplete b…
Decomposing socioeconomic and educational inequalities in infant mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Our analysis reveals that wealth-related disparities in infant mortality disproportionately impact poorer populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, with children of mothers who possess lower socioeconomic status and less education facing higher risks. Factors contributing to these disparities include family size, media exposure, and birth order. The persistence of social injustice is largely due to the inadequate response to these health inequalities. P…
Assessment of knowledge and practice of nurses regarding infection prevention and associated factors at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia
Background: Healthcare-Acquired Infections have a major negative impact on the global healthcare delivery system, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality and excessive healthcare resource utilization. Infection prevention and control is the main healthcare agenda nationwide. However, it remains a challenge to achieving Sustainable Development Goals regarding healthcare issues. This study aims to assess nurses' knowledge and practice regard…
Socioeconomic inequality in timing of ANC visit among pregnant women in Ethiopia, 2019
Background: Antenatal care (ANC) remains an invaluable approach to preventive care for ensuring maternal and infant health outcomes. Women in sub-Saharan Africa tend to delay their first antenatal care visits. In Ethiopia, only 20% of women received their first antenatal care during the first trimester of pregnancy. Timely and appropriate antenatal care practices can potentially save the lives of both mothers and children. Understanding socioecon…
Evaluation of an Auditable Pharmaceutical Transaction Services Program in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia the government created an auditable pharmaceutical transaction system (APTS) to prevent low availability and high expiration rate of drugs. However, nothing is known about the implementation status of APTS in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the implementation status of APTS program by dimensions (availability, compliance, and acceptability) at Debark primary Hospital, North West Ethiopia. A single case study de…
Self-referral practice and associated factors among women who gave birth in South Gondar zone primary hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia
Background Patient self-referral is when patients refer themselves to upper-level health facilities without having to see anyone else first or without being told to refer themselves by another health professional. Self-referral leads to a diminished quality of healthcare services. However, globally, many women who gave birth referred themselves to hospitals without having referral sheets, including in Ethiopia and the study area. Therefore, this …
Complete childhood vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in Dabat demographic and health survey site, Ethiopia, 2022
Complete vaccination coverage among children aged 12-23 months in the Dabat district was lower than the Global vaccine plan and Ethiopian ministry of health goal in 2020. Therefore, Health care providers and other stakeholders should mobilize the community to improve mothers' health-seeking behavior toward pregnancy follow-up and health facility delivery to improve childhood vaccination. Besides, expanding the service to remote areas are necessar…
Magnitude of unmet need for family planning and associated factors among women in the extended postpartum period in Dabat district, Northwest Ethiopia. evidence from Dabat demographic health surveys
The magnitude of unmet need for family planning among women during the extended postpartum period in the study area was high when compared to the national average and the United Nations sphere standard of unmet need for family planning. Place of residence, place of delivery, and availability of radio and or TV were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. Hence, the concerned bodies are recommended to promote intuitional deli…
Prevalence of married women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use and its associated factors in high fertility regions of Ethiopia
Women's decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use in this study was low. Age of mothers, educational status of mothers, age at first marriage, residence, religion, and community media exposure were significant factors. Therefore, the government should promote women's autonomy on contraceptive use as an essential component of reproductive health rights through mass media, educating, with particular attention for, youth women, and women living …
Predictors of desire to limit childbearing among reproductive age women in high fertility regions in Ethiopia. A multilevel mixed effect analysis
Nearly four in ten women had the desire to limit childbearing in high fertility regions in Ethiopia. Thus, to fulfill the women's desire to limit childbearing, Ministry of Health and health facilities are needed to increase financial support strategies and Family planning programs that enable pregnant women from poor households to use health services. In addition, increasing community level media exposure are important interventions
Multilevel analysis of early resumption of sexual intercourse among postpartum women in sub-Saharan Africa
The study revealed that more than two-thirds of the women had resumed sexual intercourse early after childbirth. Hence, the concerned bodies should strengthen the integration of postpartum education on sexual resumption with maternal, neonatal, and child health care services to reduce the early resumption of sexual intercourse. In addition, healthcare providers providing counseling on the resumption of postpartum sexual intercourse should focus o…
Determinants of early marriage among married women in nine high fertility sub-Saharan African countries
Marriage before the age of 18 is moderately high in high-fertility countries. Therefore, the respective countries government should give due attention to access to education, and encourage the participation of women in making marriage-related decisions, especially those residing in rural areas
Four in ten married women demands satisfied by modern contraceptives in high fertility sub-Saharan Africa countries
Only four in ten married reproductive age women demands satisfied with modern contraceptives in high fertility Sub Saharan African countries. Modern contraceptives should therefore be more widely available, especially in rural areas and for those living away from health facilities. Also, increasing media exposure and education, providing financial support, and making contraceptive access easier for married women from poor households are important…
