In this globalized era, organizations certainly require employees who are high achievers. This calls for a high demand for professionals with skills, hence organizations are virtually required to embrace their preferences through socially innovative practices. Civil service employees in Kenya, who include the Ministry of Health staff performance is below expectations thus service delivery is compromised. In this regard the current study was designed to assess the effect of social correlates on employees’ performance in the public health sector in Turbo Sub-County. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: To examine the effect of supervisors support on employee performance and to analyze the effect of employee participation on employee performance. Conservation of Resources Theory and Social Exchange Theory had the potential to provide a conceptual guide in maximizing employee performance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design based on samples drawn from across the public health facilities in Turbo Sub-County. The target population was 332. A two-stage sampling technique was adopted where cluster random sampling was used to select the Public health facilities after which simple random sampling were used to select respondents within the facilities. The study used Krejcie and Morgan table,(1970) to calculate the sample size which was 181 respondents. Data was collected by use of self-administered questionnaires. Data analysis was done by use of both inferential and descriptive statistics using SPSS version 20. Results of multiple regressions revealed that social correlates jointly and independently influenced employee performance in public health facilities in Turbo Sub-County, Kenya. Jointly the two constructs namely supervisors support and employee participation contributed 51.4% of the variation in employee performance (Adjusted R Square = 0.514). There was a positive and significant correlation between supervisors support and employee participation was: r=.660*, r= .450* to employee performance. All these together led to the rejection of the null hypothesis. This implies that the management of public health facilities should pay high premiums in strategically formulating and implementing social correlates which can effectively galvanize employee motivation and performance. Social correlates should be bundled through mutually consistent policies to enhance their synergy in achieving high employee performance.

Abstract Background Capacity Building and Mentorship Partnership (CBMP) is a flagship program designed by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health in collaboration with six local universities to strengthen the national health information system and facilitate evidence-informed decision making through various initiatives. The program was initiated in 2018. This evaluation was aimed to assess the outcome of CBMP on health data quality in the public health facilities of Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods A matched comparison group evaluation design with a sequential explanatory mixed-method was used to evaluate the outcome of CBMP on data quality. A total of 23 health facilities from the intervention group and 17 comparison health facilities from a randomly selected district were used for this evaluation. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) evaluation framework with relevance, effectiveness, and impact dimensions was used to measure the program’s outcome using the judgment parameter. The program’s average treatment effect on data quality was estimated using propensity score matching (PSM). Results The overall outcome of CBMP was found to be 90.75 %. The mean data quality in the intervention health facility was 89.06 % [95 %CI: 84.23, 93.88], which has a significant mean difference with the comparison health facilities (66.5 % [95 % CI: 57.9–75]). In addition, the CBMP increases the data quality of pilot facilities by 27.75 % points [95 %CI: 17.94, 37.58] on the nearest neighboring matching. The qualitative data also noted that there was a data quality problem in the health facility and CBMP improved the data quality gap among the intervention health facilities. Conclusions The outcome of the CBMP was highly satisfactory. The program effectively increased the data quality in the health facilities. Therefore, the finding of this evaluation can be used by policymakers, program implementers, and funding organizations to scale the program at large to improve the overall health data quality for health outcome improvement.

Background. Birth asphyxia is a serious clinical problem of newborn babies, which occurs due to impaired blood-gas exchange and results in hypoxemia. Despite improvements in the diagnosis and management of perinatal asphyxia, it has become the leading cause of admission and neonatal mortality, especially in developing countries. Objective. This study was aimed at assessing factors associated with perinatal asphyxia among live births in the public health facilities of Bahir Dar city, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021. Method. Health facility-based cross-sectional study was employed from April 1-30/2021 in the public health facilities of Bahir Dar city among 517 mother-newborn pairs. The data were collected by systematic random sampling technique, entered by using Epi data 3.1, and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a P value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Frequency tables, figures, and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables. Result. In this study, 21.7% (95% CI: 18.2%–25.5%) of the newborns had perinatal asphyxia. Malpresentation ( AOR = 4.06 , 95 % CI = 2.08 -7.94), uterotonic drug administration ( AOR = 2.78 , 95 % CI = 1.67 -4.62), meconium-stained amniotic fluid ( AOR = 4.55 , 95 % CI = 2.66 , 7.80), night time delivery ( AOR = 1.91 , 95 % CI = 1.17 , 3.13), and preterm delivery ( AOR = 3.96 , 95 % CI = 1.98 , 7.89) were significantly associated with perinatal asphyxia. Conclusion and Recommendation. In the present study, the proportion of perinatal asphyxia was high. To mitigate this problem, there is a need to focus on early identification of the risk factors like fetal malpresentation, preterm labor/delivery, and managing them appropriately. Administering uterotonic drugs should be based on indication with close supervision.
