Introduction: Pregnancy and childbirth bring health risks for women, and it is magnified in grand multipara mothers. Effective practice of contraceptive is important in spacing out childbirth to ensure both mother and child acquire optimum quality of life. Thus, with increasing number of grand multipara mothers who would face a greater reproductive risk, it is crucial to have a better understanding of their reproductive health. This study aimed to determine the contraceptive use and to identify associated factors influencing contraceptive use among grand multipara mothers in Kuantan. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak Jaya Gading using purposive sampling. 49 respondents had been selected. The data of this study were analyzed and transformed by using statistical software. Results: The prevalence of contraceptive use among grand multipara mothers was 51%. Grand multipara mothers who had high level of knowledge (p=0.030) regarding contraceptive, positive attitude (p=0.017) toward contraceptive use and having discussions with the spouse on contraception (p = 0.008) were more likely to use contraception. There was no statistically significant difference between the practice of contraceptive use and occupation (p=0.175) or number of living children (p=0.250). However, in this study, we found a statistically significant association between the contraceptive use and educational level (p=0.036). Conclusions: The prevalence of contraceptive use in this study compared relatively low to other studies. Effective health promotion programs need to be done to encourage the practices of contraceptive.

Emergency Contraceptives

Emergency contraceptives (ECs) need to be available and used appropriately as a backup in case regular contraception is not taken by people like university students. This study was conducted to assess emergency contraception use and its associated factors among female undergraduates of Arba Minch University. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 515 undergraduates using a structured questionnaire. Respondents were selected by the stratified random sampling technique and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted to identify associated factors. The adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to present the identified risk factors. The prevalence of emergency contraception use among Arba Minch University students was 78.0% (95% CI: 71.5%, 84.5%). Better information about emergency contraceptives (AOR = 6.3; 95% CI: 2.4, 9.7), good approach of EC service providers (AOR = 9.3; 95% CI: 2.4, 11.6), and positive attitude about ECs (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.5, 7.2) were factors significantly associated with EC use. The prevalence of emergency contraceptive use noted in this study was comparatively higher than the results found by previous studies conducted in Africa and Ethiopian universities. Continuing support for and wider dissemination of the class are recommended. The fact that the students/participants readily accepted the preceding provisions made such positive findings possible and sustainable.

Abstract Abstract Back ground: Contraception helps prevent unplanned pregnancies and mother to child HIV transmission among human immune virus positive women. Contraceptive use status and associated factors were not well addressed in the study area. This study aimed to assess contraceptives use and associated factors among HIV positive sexually active women at anti-retroviral therapy clinic in Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Method : A facility based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from June 01 -30, 2018, among 308 randomly selected sexually active HIV positive women of reproductive age in Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital anti-retro viral treatment clinic. A pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version20. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize socio-demographic characteristics of participants. A multivariate logistic regression analysis method was employed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to control possible confounders. Statistical significance was declared at p-value <0.05. Results: The current study revealed that overall contraception use among sexually active HIV positive women was 38.3 %( 95%CI: 32.5%-43.5%). Women with age range of 15-34 years old (AOR =3.089, 95%CI: 1.591-5.999), HIV status disclosure to sex partner, (AOR=2.75995%CI: 1.142-6.663), previous contraception utilization experience; (AOR=3.361, 95%CI: 1.677-6.736), Sexual activity in the last six months (AOR5.451, 95%CI: 2.724-10.908) and had drinking habit (AOR=4.351, 95%CI: 1.824-10.379) were the main predictors of contraceptive use. Conclusion: Contraceptive use was low in the current study area. Efforts should be strengthened to increase contraception use among human immune virus positive women. Anti-retro viral treatment and family planning services should be integrated to increase contraceptive use uptake in the study area. Keywords: Contraceptive use, Contraception, Human immune virus positive women, Bahir Dar, North west Ethiopia.

Background: Postpartum depression with a different incidence of 40- 45% in different societies, which it has adverse effects on the health of mothers and their child, given the negative effects of maternal depression and its harmful effects on the baby and the quality of family life. So, this study was performed with the aim to determine postpartum depression and its associated factors in Bandar Abbas city. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 after obtaining consent from mothers by the census. A total of 343 mothers was examined for depression who referred to Bandar Abbas health centers in the 2nd and 4th months after childbirth. The data collection tools included demographic information and Postpartum Depression Edinburgh questionnaires. Finally, the statistical analyses were performed using SPSS (version 22.0) software and data were analyzed using the Independent t-test, Mann Whitney, Chi-square, and Fisher exact tests.Result: Totally, 68 (19.8%) of samples were in the second month and 54 (15.7%) in the fourth month after delivery had postpartum depression. The incidence of depression in the four months was 6.6%. There was a significant difference between depression and income, parental education, father’s use of cigarette and abnormalities of the infant (P <0.001). There was no significant difference between other factors such as gestational age, infant sex, birth weight, unwanted pregnancy, and type of delivery. Conclusion: Regarding the prevalence of this disorder, it seems that postpartum depression screening planning should be considered during child routine care as an essential component, especially for vulnerable groups.

<em>Background</em>. Malnutrition remains an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality; the levels of childhood malnutrition in Nigeria are among the highest in the world. The literature supports many direct and indirect causes of malnutrition, but few studies have examined the link between maternal care during pregnancy and childbirth and childhood malnutrition. This study examines this potential link in Bauchi and Cross River states in Nigeria. <br /><em>Design and methods.</em> In 2011, a household survey collected information about children under four years old and their mothers’ last pregnancy. Trained fieldworkers measured mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of children aged 6-47 months. We examined associations with childhood malnutrition in bivariate and multivariate analysis. <br /><em>Results</em>. Some 4.4% of 3643 children in Cross River, and 14.7% of 2706 in Bauchi were malnourished (MUAC z-score). In both states, a child whose mother had fewer than four government antenatal care visits was more likely to be malnourished (Cross River: OR 1.85, 95%CIca 1.33-2.55; Bauchi: OR 1.29, 95%CIca 1.02-1.63). In Bauchi, a child whose mother who rarely or never discussed pregnancy and childbirth with her husband (OR 1.34, 95%CIca 1.07-1.68), and who did not have her last delivery attended by a skilled health worker was more likely to be malnourished (OR 1.50, 95%CIca 1.09-2.07). <br /><em>Conclusions</em>. These findings, if confirmed in other studies, suggest that poor care of women in pregnancy and childbirth could pose a longer term risk to the health of the child, as well as increasing immediate risks for both mother and child.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify burnout and associated factors among nursing workers working in coping with COVID-19. Methods: a cross-sectional study, developed in four hospitals in a capital in southern Brazil. Sample (n=499) composed of nurses and nursing technicians/assistants, who answered an online form containing socio-occupational characterization and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed, including multiple comparison tests. Results: burnout was identified in 60 (12%) workers, with no significant difference between hospitals, but with a difference in dimensions between them. In the emotional exhaustion dimension, a higher proportion (52.9%) was found at a moderate level. Prevalence of high level of professional achievement of 95.4% was identified. Conclusion: the presence of burnout was significantly prevalent among nurses and females. It reinforces the need to develop strategies to promote the health of nursing workers, providing improvement in health services and reduction of care and labor risks.

Objective: To determine the level of and factors associated with empathy among medical students.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed all first- to sixth-year medical students at the Facultyof Medicines, Prince of Songkla University, at the end of the 2020 academic year. The questionnaires consisted of:1) The personal and demographic information questionnaire, 2) The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire, and 3) ThaiMental Health Indicator-15. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and factors associated with empathylevel were assessed via chi-square and logistic regression analyses.Results: There were 1010 participants with response rate of 94%. Most of them were female (59%). More than half(54.9%) reported a high level of empathy. There was a statistically significant difference in empathy levels betweenpre-clinical and clinical medical students; in regards to empathy subgroups (P-value < 0.001). The assessment ofemotional states in others by demonstrating appropriate sensitivity behavior, altruism, and empathic respondingscores among the pre-clinical group were higher than those of the clinical group. Multivariate analysis indicatedthat female gender, pre-clinical training level, and minor specialty preference were factors associated with empathylevel. The protective factor that significantly improved the level of empathy was having fair to good mental health.Conclusion: More than half of the surveyed medical students reported a high level of empathy. The protective factorthat improved the level of empathy was good mental health. However, future qualitative methods, longitudinalsurveillance, or long-term follow-up designs are required to ensure the trustworthiness of these findings.

Inter Pregnancy Interval

Background Short inter-pregnancy interval is an interval of <24 months between the dates of birth of the preceding child and the conception date of the current pregnancy. Despite its direct effects on the perinatal and maternal outcomes, there is a paucity of evidence on its prevalence and determinant factors, particularly in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of short inter-pregnancy interval among pregnant women in Debre Berhan town, Northern Ethiopia. Methods A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among a randomly selected 496 pregnant women in Debre Berhan town from February 9 to March 9, 2020. The data were collected by using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using STATA (14.2) statistical software. To identify the predictors of short inter-pregnancy interval, multivariable binary logistic regression was fitted and findings are presented using adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Result The overall prevalence of short inter-pregnancy interval (<24 months) among pregnant women was 205 (40.9%). Being over 30 years of age at first birth (AOR = 3.50; 95% CI: 2.12–6.01), non-use of modern contraceptive (AOR = 2.51; 95% CI: 1.23–3.71), duration of breastfeeding for less than 12 months (AOR = 2.62; 95% CI: 1.32–5.23), parity above four (AOR = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.05–0.81), and unintended pregnancy (AOR = 5.42; 95% CI: 3.34–9.22) were independently associated factors with short inter-pregnancy interval. Conclusion Despite the public health interventions being tried in the country, the prevalence of short inter-pregnancy interval in this study is high. Therefore, it implies that increasing contraceptive use and encouraging optimal breastfeeding might help in the efforts made to avert the problem.
