Primiparous women’s experiences of midwife-led continuous labor support in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Midwife-led continuous labour support is a woman-centered approach that has been shown to improve childbirth outcomes. Despite strong global recommendations, it has yet been implemented in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the experiences of primiparous women with midwife-led continuous labour support in northwest Ethiopia. METHODS: A qualitative exploratory design was used from July to December 2024. In-depth interview…
Socioeconomic inequalities in cervical cancer screening uptake among women living with HIV in Ethiopia
The Effect of Midwife-Led Continuous Labor Support Care on Delivery Mode and Timely Initiation of Breastfeeding in Primigravida Women in Northwest Ethiopia
Midwife-led continuous labor and childbirth support reduces the episiotomy rate and increases the rates of vaginal delivery and early initiation of breastfeeding. However, no studies have yet been conducted in Ethiopia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of midwife-led continuous labor and childbirth support. A quasi-experimental study involving 419 primigravida women compared an intervention given by trained midwives at two hospitals to rou…
Development and validation of a prognosis risk score model for neonatal mortality in the Amhara region, Ethiopia. A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: A neonatal mortality prediction score can assist clinicians in making timely clinical decisions to save neonates' lives by facilitating earlier admissions where needed. It can also help reduce unnecessary admissions. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to develop and validate a prognosis risk score for neonatal mortality within 28 days in public hospitals in the Amhara region, Ethiopia. METHODS: The model was developed using a validated neonat…
Pelvic Floor Disorders and Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise
The purpose of the study was to investigate 1: overall knowledge of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) as well as knowledge, attitudes, and practice of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME); and 2: the association of these factors with parity in pregnant women in Gondar, Ethiopia. A facility-based cross-sectional study was performed in the Central Gondar zone, northwest Ethiopia between February and April 2021. The associatio…
Valid and reliable neonatal near-miss assessment scale in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: The concept of a neonatal near miss is used to explain neonates who nearly died but survived a life-threatening complication in the first 28 days of life. We have left many ill surviving (near-miss) neonates, due to a lack of valid and reliable assessment scale, particularly in Ethiopia. AIM: We aim to psychometrically validate the neonatal near-miss assessment scale (NNMAS) for Ethiopia. METHODS: A total of 465 live birth neonates we…
Delays during emergency obstetric care and their determinants among mothers who gave birth in South Gondar zone hospitals, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design
BACKGROUND: The majority of maternal deaths occur during delivery and the immediate postnatal period as a result of delays in seeking care, failure to reach health institutions, and receiving inappropriate health care. In developing countries, delayed access to timely healthcare contributes to high maternal mortality and morbidity. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the delays during emergency obstetric care and associated factors with delays …
Assessment of content validity for a Neonatal Near miss Scale in the context of Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: The concept of neonatal near miss is used to identify neonates who nearly died but survived a life-threatening complication in the first 28 days of life. Neonatal mortality is the tip of the iceberg. Quality improvement through utilization of a validated scale and reduction in adverse neonatal outcome is a priority for achieving sustainable development goals. OBJECTIVES: To develop and assess the content validity of neonatal near-miss…
Half-time evaluation of a new 4-year Ph.D. program in nursing and midwifery at the University of Gondar, Ethiopia
A new four-year Ph.D. programme in nursing and midwifery, the first of its kind in Ethiopia, was started in 2018/2019 at the University of Gondar when eight doctoral students in nursing and midwifery entered the program. We who have been involved see this as an appropriate time to evaluate what has been accomplished to date and to look toward future possibilities. Our aim in carrying out such an evaluation and presenting our findings is in part t…
Self-Efficacy, Learner Satisfaction, and Associated Factors of Simulation Based Education among Midwifery Students
Introduction. Midwifery training needs intensive skill practice. Simulation based teaching is found to be a good alternative to fill skill teaching gaps and to safeguard human patients. Objective. To assess self-efficacy, learner satisfaction, and associated factors of simulation based education among Midwifery students in Gondar University, 2015. Methods. Cross-sectional study was conducted among Midwifery students. A total of 144 students parti…
