BackgroundDysmenorrhea is pain during menstrual flow and is the most common gynecologic complaint in reproductive-age girls. The severity of dysmenorrhea ranges from mild to severe pain during menstruation, which affects their academic activities.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of dysmenorrhea and its effects on academic activities among Hawassa University students from April 1–30/2021.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted and a systematic random sampling technique was used to select 348 study participants. Standardized self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain relevant data. The severity of pain was assessed using a verbal multidimensional scoring system and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) methods. The collected data was entered into Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis and then descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed.ResultsThe prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 80% (277). Of those affected by dysmenorrhea, using the verbal multidimensional scoring system, 47.6% (132) were found to have mild pain, 39.7% (110) had moderate pain, and 12.6% (35) had severe pain. However, using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), 21.7% (60) were found to have mild pain, 33.2% (92) had moderate pain, 37.5% (104) had severe pain, and 7.6% (21) had very severe pain. It was found to have a negative effect on academic activity, such as loss of concentration in class (p = 0.00), disruption of study time (p = 0.00), sleep disturbances (p = 0.00), issues in personal relationships (p = 0.00), and absenteeism (p = 0.00). Associated factors included being sexually active, having a family history of dysmenorrhea, and the presence of depression.ConclusionDysmenorrhea is prevalent in this study and has a significant impact on academic activities. Family history of dysmenorrhea, being sexually active, and the presence of depression are associated factors.

Background: Painful menstruation, known as dysmenorrhea, is a common gynecologic incident that affects mainly reproductive-age females with significant social, academic, and psychological negative impacts. Young females are one of the productive age who become future leaders and hope for the country as well as the community. Any problem which affects this age group will have a tremendous economic and psychological burden on the country and community. This study aims to assess the prevalence, associated risk factors of dysmenorrhea, pain intensity, and its effects on academic activities among Hawassa university students from April 1–30/2021Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed among Hawassa University students. Standardized self-administered questionnaires were used to get 348 individuals selected by systematic random sampling technique. A verbal multidimensional scoring system and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) tools were used to the assessment of dysmenorrhea and the extent of pain severity. Data entered into Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Pearson chi-square test was used to check the presence of an association between independent and outcome variables. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used for further assessment of the strength. The significance level was obtained using an odds ratio of 95%and CI a with p-value < 0. 05.Results: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 80% (277). Of these,39.7 % (110) have reported that daily activity was affected; analgesics were required and gave sufficient relief, and 12.6% (35) reported that analgesia has no effect and their daily activities are inhibited. It hurt academic activities such as loss of class concentration, study time, sleep disturbances, personal relationships, and absenteeism. Factors associated are being sexually active, family history of dysmenorrhea, and presence of depression Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea is prevalent in this study and has a significant impact on academic activities. Family history of dysmenorrhea, being sexually active, and presence of depression are associated factors.

“…18 As different studies show in Ethiopia, about 27.5% to 49.6% of stroke survivors suffer from post-stroke depression. [19][20][21] Despite this, only a handful of studies have been done on the burden of caregiver depression in Africa, and none in Ethiopia. Based on the findings in developed countries, much of our knowledge regarding the problem is based on studies done in developed countries, which have significant differences in the major contributing factors to caregiver depression.…”

Background Stroke is one of the leading causes of severe disability and functional limitation, which are reasons for being dependent on their family for daily activities and participation in social affairs. After discharge from the hospital, most stroke survivors require physical, psychosocial, and financial support from caregivers at home, which is one of the most stressful events for families. The stroke survivors and their caregivers may influence each other during the caregiving process and social life. The stroke survivor’s disability and depressive symptoms affect the quality of life of the survivor and their caregivers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of depression among caregivers of stroke survivors. Methods An institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in Amhara regional state tertiary hospitals. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select 424 participants. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered and chart-reviewed structured questionnaire. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with depression. Adjusting the odds ratio with the corresponding 95% confidence interval and variables with a P-value < 0.05 was considered significantly associated with depression. Results The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms was 65.6% (95% CI: 60.8–69.8). Being female, older than 40, having no formal education, having a low family monthly income, being the son or daughter, and spending more than six hours per day were associated with depression. Conclusion We found that depression was prevalent among primary caregivers of stroke survivors. To reduce the risk of developing depression, policymakers should fully recognize the role of caregivers in caring for stroke patients. More attention should be given to caregivers who are female, elderly, have a low income, are sons or daughters, and spend a long time caring per day.
