Abstract Background Breast self-examination is simple, low cost and non-invasive method of noticing breast cancer by the women themselves for looking at and feeling for any change in their breast. Studies have shown that in Ethiopia the practice of breast self-examination is poor. So, the aim of this study is to address breast self-examination practice and associated factors among women aged 20-64 years at Arba Minch Zuria district, Gamo Zone southern Ethiopia. Methods community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 634 women aged 20-64 years at Arbaminch Zuria district using multi-stage sampling technique to select the study participants. Structured, pretested and interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were entered in to EPI INFO version 3.5.1 and exported to SPSS version 22 for analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess the association between independent and outcome variables. Adjusted odd ratio with 95% confidence interval and P-value of <0.05 was considered to declare a result as statistically significant. Result A total of 634 study participants were involved, making a response rate of 100%. From the total study participants only 21.3% had ever practice breast self-examination. There were a negative association between women age 40-49(AOR: 2.95; 95%CI: 1.23, 7.06), and women who attended elementary level of education (AOR 0.33; 95% CI 0.14, 0.60). While women having good knowledge (AOR 0.58; 95% CI0.30, 0.92), and having good perceived benefit (AOR 2.22; 95% CI 1.85, 34.1) were the factors who were significantly positively associated with breast self-examination practice. Conclusion Breast Self-Examination Practice among the study participants was low. Educational status, age, knowledge and perceived benefits towards breast -self-examination were associated with breast self- examination practice. Therefore, much more Efforts should be taken by stakeholders in different hierarchies to promote women’s education, promoting and advocating breast self-examination practice.

Background. Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in Ethiopia of all female cancers. It is considered to be a progressive disease with a poor prognosis if detected late. Breast self-examination is an important prevention method of breast cancer. This study was aimed at assessing practice and associated factors of breast self-examination (BSE) among female Debre Berhan University students in Ethiopia. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 among 420 using self-administrated questionnaire. Multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were done. Results. Majority of the study participants, 338 (84.5%), were between 20 and 24 years old with the mean age of 21.1 ± 1.65. Only 14 (3.5%) had family history of breast cancer. Two hundred fifty-six (64%) of the participants had heard about BSE and 30.25% had good knowledge about BSE. Mass media were the most common source of information about breast cancer. Few of the participants (28.3%) had performed BSE. Lack of knowledge on how to perform BSE was cited as the main reason for not practicing BSE. Knowing how to perform, when to perform, and position to perform BSE and having a perception that BSE is important and useful to detect breast cancer were significant predictors of practices of BSE. Conclusions. This study revealed that most of the participants had low knowledge and practice of BSE. Therefore, it important to develop health educational programs in the university to raise awareness about BSE and breast cancer so as to practice self-breast examination.

Background. Episiotomy is the most common obstetric procedure, performed when the clinical circumstances place the patient at a high risk of high-degree laceration. However, episiotomy should be done with judicious indication to lower perineal laceration with fewer complications. Despite its adverse effects, the magnitude of episiotomy is increasing due to different factors. Therefore, this study is aimed at determining the recent magnitude of episiotomy and at identifying associated factors among women who gave delivery in Arba Minch General Hospital, Southern Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from December 15, 2018, to January 30, 2019. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. A semistructured questionnaire was used to collect data. This was supplemented with a review of the labor and delivery records. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the magnitude of episiotomy. P value ≤ 0.05 was used to determine the level of statistically significant variables. Results. The magnitude of episiotomy was found to be 272 (68.0%) with 95%CI=64.0‐72.5. Women who attended secondary education [AOR=10.24, 95%CI=2.81‐37.34], women who attended college and above [AOR=4.61, 95%CI=1.27‐16.71], birth weight≥3000 g [AOR=4.84, 95%CI=2.66‐8.82], primipara [AOR=4.13, 95%CI=2.40‐7.12], being housewife occupants [AOR=3.43, 95%CI=1.20‐9.98], married women [AOR=2.86, 95%CI=1.40‐5.84], and body mass index<25 kg/m2 [AOR=2.85, 95%CI=1.50‐5.44] were independent variables found to have significant association with episiotomy. Conclusion. The magnitude of episiotomy was 68.0% which is higher than the recommended practice by WHO (10%). The study participants’ occupational status, marital status, educational status, parity, birth weight, and BMI were significantly associated with the magnitude of episiotomy in the study area. Therefore, to reduce the rate of episiotomy, it is better to have periodic training for birth attendants regarding the indication of episiotomy.

AbstractBSE practice is a breast examination performed by women to detect breast cancer lumps. This disease occupies the highest percentage of cases of other cancers and the highest percentage of deaths in women in the world. Breast cancer can be detected by prevention, one of which is breast self-examination (BSE). The tendency of women in early breast cancer detection with BSE is still low, even in 2015 non-health faculty students at the University of Jember. Many studies state that non-health faculty students are mostly rare and never practice BSE. This study aims to analyze the relationship of knowledge, attitudes, sources of information, peer support and anxiety about BSE practices in 2015 college students at the University of Jember. This type of study is analytic with cross sectional approach. The study was conducted on 227 respondents. The sampling technique is proportional random sampling. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge, attitudes, sources of information, peer support and the level of anxiety about BSE practices. After the logistic regression test, it showed that the knowledge most related to BSE practice was p-value 0.083. Keywords: Breast cancer, non-health faculty students, BSE practice

Abstract Background Menstrual irregularity is a common problem among women aged from 21 to 25 years. Previously published work on menstrual irregularity used inconsistent definition which results in a difference in prevalence. Therefore the study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of menstrual irregularity among undergraduate students of Debre Berhan University, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study design was carried out among 660 undergraduate female students at Debre Berhan University. To get representative study participants, a stratified sampling technique was used. To collect the data self-administered questionnaire was used. Physical examination and anthropometric measurement were also done. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 21. Logistic regression analysis was done. A significant association was declared at a p-value less than 0.05. Result A total of 620 students participated in the present study with a response rate of 93.9%. Out of the total study participants, 32.6% (95% CI 29–36.5) participants had irregular menstrual cycle. Significant association was found between anemia (AOR = 2.1; 95%CI 1.337–3.441), alcohol intake (AOR = 2.4; 95%CI 1.25–4.666), < 5 sleep hours (AOR = 5.4; 95%CI 2.975–9.888), 6–7 sleep hours (AOR = 1.9; 95%CI 1.291–2.907), Perceived stress (AOR = 3.3; 95%CI 1.8322–5.940), iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) (AOR = 3.9; 95%CI 1.325–11.636) and underweight (AOR = 1.8; 95%CI 1.109–2.847) with menstrual irregularity. Conclusion The finding of this study reported a low magnitude of menstrual irregularity as compared to previous studies. Students should adopt healthier lifestyle practices (weight control, stress control, anemia control, and avoid alcohol intake) to control menstrual irregularity.
