Abstract Background: HIV positive individuals may or may not have fertility desire to have children. But the extent of these desires and how it varies by individual, social, health and demographic characteristics is not well understood. Objective: To assess fertility desire and its associated factors among HIV positive women in Gondar referral hospital, Northwest Ethiopia; 2019. Method: Institutional -based cross-sectional study design was conducted from May-June 2019 on 351 HIV positive women at Gondar comprehensive specialized referral hospital. Interview based, pre-tested and structured questionnaires was used to collect the data. Data consistency was checked and entered into Epi-info seven then exported to SPSS versions 20 for further analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. P-values less than 0.05 with 95% CI was taken to declare a statistically significant. Result: Among study participants, 183(52.1%) HIV positive women had fertility desire. Women in the age 15-19 years (AOR: 6.88, CI=1.84-25.79), being married (AOR: 4.42, CI=1.47-13.28), unable to read and write (AOR: 0.39, CI=0.18-0.82), having no partners fertility desire and discussion with health care provider (AOR: 0.04, CI=0.02-0.12) and (AOR=0.31, CI=0.17-0.57), respectively were significantly associated factors. Conclusion: Being young age and married, educational status of women, partner desire and discussion with health care provider were obtained as significant factors of fertility desire. Hence health care providers have to give health information and education about fertility desire and other reproductive issue to clients.

Background. Job satisfaction is an important determinant of health staff’s motivation, retention, and performance. Difficulties in critical decision-making and problems with lack of respect and recognition lead to lower job satisfaction level among anesthetists. It leads to high turnover intention, dropout from the profession, burnout, impaired health status of anesthetists, and lower work performance. Objective. The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to assess the level of job satisfaction and associated factors among anesthetists working in Amhara National Regional State. Methods. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1 to June 30, 2017. Ninety-eight anesthetists that were working in Amhara National Regional State Hospitals were involved in this study. The structured questionnaire was scored on five-point Likert scales. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. Binary logistic regression was used to measure statistical significance between dependent and each independent variable. Variables with P value of ≤0.2 on crude analysis were taken into multivariate analysis, and P value 0.05 and 95% CI was used as cut off point. Result. 98 out of 104 participants were involved in this study with a response rate of 94.3%. The overall level of job satisfaction was 46.9%. Anesthetists in academic working position were satisfied with the odds of about 2.3 (AOR = 2.269; CI = 1.137–6.740) compared to those in clinical working position. Anesthetists were least satisfied with coworker relationships (37.8%), work schedule (43.9%), professional opportunity (46.9%), and recognition (49%) while they were most satisfied from their control of responsibility (59.2%), social interaction (55%), and salary and benefits (51%). Conclusion and Recommendation. Job satisfaction of anesthetists was low, and we suggest that facilitation of professional development, creation of smooth relationship in working environment, increasing the number of anesthetists, and recognition of the anesthesia professional are of paramount importance to increase job satisfaction of anesthetists.
