Clinical practice competencies and associated factors among graduating nursing students attending at universities in Northern Ethiopia: institution-based cross-sectional study

Abstract Objective To assess clinical practice competency and associated factors among graduating nursing students in universities of Amhara region, Northern Ethiopia. Result This study showed that, 33.6% of the participants were clinically competent and there is slight variation in the clinical competency of participants at different Universities found in Amhara region. Clinical practice competency of students was affected by clinical instructor factors. Students who had got orientation about objective of clinical practice were 2.387 times more likely to be clinically competent [AOR: 2.387; 95% CI (1.011-5.635)]. Students who had clinical instructor who spent enough time for mentoring them during clinical practice had 2.247 times more likely to be clinical competent [AOR: 2.247; 95% CI (1.100-4.593)]. Students who had instructors that follow them while they conduct a procedure were 2.655 times more likely clinically competent [AOR: 2.655; 95% CI (1.294-5.449)]. This study also revealed that clinical practice competency of students was affected by assessment methods factors. Students with clinical practice assessment checklist had 2.663 times higher clinical practice competency [AOR: 2.663; 95% CI (1.324-5.358)]. Regarding staff-student factors, students who were allowed to perform tasks by clinical staffs were 5.858 times more likely to be clinical competent task [AOR: 5.858; 95% CI (2.657-12.916)]

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess mother’s knowledge on neonatal jaundice (NNJ) and its associated factors in northern Ethiopia.DesignFacility-based cross-sectional study.SettingReferral hospitals in Amhara region, Ethiopia.ParticipantsThe study was done among 380 mothers selected using a systematic random sampling technique at referral hospitals in the Amhara region, northern Ethiopia, from 1 March 2019 to 30 July 2019.Primary outcomeMother’s knowledge on NNJ, modelled using binary logistic regression.Secondary outcomeFactors associated with mother’s knowledge about NNJResultsThis study revealed that the overall mother’s knowledge on NNJ was 39.2%. Having favourable attitude (AOR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.25 to 3.34), having a history of NNJ in previous children (AOR=7.51, 95% CI: 3.12 to 18.05), having a history of NNJ in the current child (AOR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.19 to 3.27), antenatal care (ANC) follow-up (AOR=3.85, 95% CI: 1.24 to 14.55) and resided in the urban area (AOR=2.63, 95% CI: 1.32 to 5.25) were factors significantly associated with mother’s knowledge on NNJ.ConclusionsThis study showed that mothers' knowledge on NNJ was low. The attitude of mothers on NNJ, previous and current child history of NNJ, ANC follow-up and residence were variables that had a significant association with mother’s knowledge on NNJ. Enhancing NNJ educational programmes targeting mothers in raising awareness on the prevention of NNJ in the population are the recommended interventions.
