Introduction: Community-based rehabilitation service (CBR) is a community development strategy set for persons with disabilities and their families. Measuring caregivers' satisfaction is a recommended approach to know the overall satisfaction of rehabilitation service. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of satisfaction and associated factors among caregivers of children with disabilities towards community-based rehabilitation in Central and North Gondar zone, North West Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2020. The data were collected by socio-demographic variables, types of services, types of disabilities, and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8). Data analysis was done by SPSS Version-20 statistical software. Descriptive statistics, bi-variable, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed. The multivariable logistic regression analysis model a P-value <0.05 was used to identify the associated factors with caregivers' satisfaction. Results: The study showed that the overall caregivers' satisfaction with community-based rehabilitation service among caregivers of children with disabilities was 60.
Background: Deficit in cognitive impairment is the most serious of the stroke sequelae. Post-stroke cognitive impairment is associated with impaired daily living activities and decreased capacity for independent living and functional performance. As a result, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive impairment among stroke survivors at comprehensive specialized hospitals in Ethiopia's Amhara region by 2022. Methods: A multi-centered cross-sectional study was designed at an institution. During the study period. Data was gathered by conducting structured questionnaire interviews with participants and reviewing medical charts with trained data collectors. The participants were chosen using a systematic random sampling technique. The Montreal cognitive assessment basic was used to assess cognitive impairment. Descriptive statistics, binary and multivariate logistic regression methods were used to analyze the data. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was used to assess the fitness of the model. The AOR with a P value of 0.05 at 95% CI was reported, and variables were considered statistically significant. Results: This study enrolled 422 stroke survivors. Overall, 58.3% of stroke survivors had cognitive impairment (95% CI 53.4-63.0%). The study participants' age with AOR;), being hypertensive with AOR; 7. 52 (3.46-16.35), arriving at the hospital after 24 hours with AOR; 4.33 (1.49-12.05), less than three months after stroke with AOR; 4. 83 (3.95-12.19), dominant hemisphere lesion with AOR;) and being illiterate with AOR; were found significant factors. Conclusion:Cognitive impairment was discovered to be relatively common among stroke survivors in this study. More than half of stroke survivors who attended comprehensive specialized hospitals during the study period were found to have cognitive impairment. Age, hypertension, arriving at the hospital after 24 hours, less than three months after stroke, dominant hemisphere lesion, and illiterate educational status were all significant factors in cognitive impairment.
Background work-related low back pain is one of the musculoskeletal conditions that has been extensively seen in several occupational groups. It is the more common occupational health problem. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the magnitude of work-related low back pain and associated factors among cleaners at Gondar University comprehensive specialized hospital. Method An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July to October 2021. Data analysis was done by SPSS Version-20 statistical software. Both bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed, and in the multivariable logistic regression analysis model, P-values less than 0.05 were considered statically significant. Result The findings of this study revealed that the magnitude of work-related low back pain among cleaners in the study area was 46.4% (95%CI;41.2%-51.5%) during the last 12 month. Always bend and twist body part (AOR:2.07,95%CI:1.86–5.03), Always Working above physical limit (AOR:3.59,95%CI:1.71–7.55) and always adapt awkward posture (AOR:2.91,95%CI:1.35–6.28) were factors associated with low back pain among cleaners. Conclusion The magnitude of work -related low back pain among cleaners in the study area was nearly half. Always bend and twist body part, working above physical limit and adapting an awkward posture were all significantly associated with low back pain in cleaners.
