“…It also might be due to the inclusion of a variety of health professionals in addition to nurses in this study, the difference in settings of the working environment, and the workload of health care providers. However, it was higher than the annual prevalence of LBP among health care providers in tertiary health institutions in Sokoto, Nigeria (39.1%), 9 Bangladesh (35%), 25 and (36.2%). 26 This might be due to the sampling size variation of the studies, the difference in settings of the working environment, the reporting behavior of study participants, and the duration of workload among health care providers.…”

Objectives: To assess prevalence and factors associated with low back pain among health care providers in public hospitals of Gamo zone, Southern Ethiopia, 2021. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed from August 1 to September 10, 2021. The total sample size was 470 and a multi-stage sampling technique was used. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and taking Anthropometric measurements. Epi data version 3.1 for data entry and SPSS version 25 for analysis were used. The fitness of the model was checked using the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness of fit test. A binary logistic regression analysis was done, and variables with a p-value of less than .025 in univariate analysis were taken to bivariate analysis. Statistically significant was declared at a p-value of less than .05 with an adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Results: The 1-year prevalence of low back pain among health care providers was 44.2% (95% CI 39.5–48.3). Past medical history of systemic illness, most commonly adopted posture, a job never requiring repeating motions within 60 s difference, belief that working health profession activities at night aggravate low back pain, and job satisfaction were significantly associated with low back pain, believing that working at night aggravated low back pain, (often lift, push, pull carry or move) more than 10 kg alone, and job satisfaction were important risk factors for low back pain. Conclusion: About four in 10 health care providers in public hospitals in the Gamo zone were suffering from low back pain. Therefore, using ergonomic equipment and lifting techniques and alternating posture while caring for patients may reduce the burden.

“…Knowing is the rst entry point for either accepted or decline of the utilization of health care services. This could be explained by having good knowledge increases awareness and a positive attitude toward health-seeking behavior; this in turn increases the utilization of maternal health services (70) History of previous adverse birth outcomes had a positive association with PCC utilization. Women who had at least one adverse birth outcome in the previous pregnancy were three times more likely to utilize PCC compared with those who had no history of adverse birth outcomes.…”

Background Nowadays globally a woman dies in every two minutes, and a neonate dies even in every 12 seconds, and more than two-thirds of these maternal deaths are preventable. Preconception care is a continuum of maternity care which is one of the proven strategies to reduce not only maternal mortality and morbidity but also neonatal mortality and morbidity by improving women’s health. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled magnitude of preconception care utilization and its associated factors among women in Ethiopia. Methods Searching of studies done through PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, List of References, and Google Scholar. This systematic review and meta-analysis follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) godliness. The quality of studies was assessed by using a Newcastle- Ottawa Scale (NOS) assessment tool adapted for cross-sectional studies. Analysis was performed using a random effect model by using STATA 17 version software. Egger’s weighted regression and I2 test were used to evaluate publication bias and heterogeneity respectively. Results In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a total of 6,808 women from 14 primary studies were included. The overall pooled magnitude of preconception care utilization in Ethiopia was 26% (95% CI: 18, 34). Educational status (OR = 2.18, 95%CI 1.54, 2.82), adequate knowledge of women regarding preconception care (OR = 2.69, 95%CI 1.90, 3.48), pre-existing medical illness (OR = 4.79, 95%CI 2.61, 6.06), history of adverse pregnancy outcome (OR = 3.18, 95%CI 2.74, 3.62), and husband /partner support (OR = 3.26, 95%CI 1.55, 4.97) were the identified predictors of utilization of preconception care. Conclusion The overall magnitude of preconception care utilization among Ethiopian women was significantly low. Educational status of women, knowledge of women regarding Preconception care, history of adverse birth outcome, pre-existing chronic medical illness, and either psychological or financial husband support were the identified predictors of preconception care utilization. Thus, healthcare organizations should work on strategies to improve the utilization of preconception care. In addition to this, advocating for better women's education, awareness creation, and encouraging male involvement is very essential to optimize service utilization.

“…These finding agrees with the results of Ismail et al (2019), Katiyar et al (2018), Li et al (2007, Tenenbaum et al (2017) and Vijayalakshmi et al (2018); who reported that females sought later care than males. Similarly, Ahmed et al (2005) and Siddique et al (2016) reported no significant differences in health-seeking behaviour by gender. In contrast, Kaur et al (2013), Kanungo et al (2015) and Thompson et al (2016) reported that female residents sought care earlier than males.…”

Yellow fever is a vaccine-preventable acute viral disease that can rapidly spread and cause serious public health impact. Delay in seeking health care from health facilities is a potential risk of prolonged disease spread. Therefore, this study assessed the delay in health-seeking behaviour and implications for yellow fever outcomes in the 2019 outbreak in Nigeria. Furthermore, the study examined the factors associated with delayed yellow fever vaccine uptake. A retrospective study was conducted from January to December 2019 using 137 cases recorded in the WHO database. The data were analysed using descriptive (frequency and percentages) and the Chi-square test.The results were significant at p < 0.05. Results showed a low uptake of yellow fever vaccine (24.1%) among patients and a median total health-seeking delay of 7 [IQR 7, 9] days. The delay was more among the older age ≥40 years (12 [IQR 12, 29]), females (8 [IQR 8, 11], and rural inhabitants 7 [IQR7, 9], particularly in Izzi LGA (9 [IQR 9, 16] than the other subgroups. Patients' location or place of residence was significantly associated with the yellow fever vaccine uptake (p < 0.000*), and delay (p = 0.003*).Conclusively, the low vaccine uptake was due to the delay in health-seeking behaviour. Thus, the healthcare system in Nigeria needs to intensify mass participation in immunisation programmes. Interventions that promote behavioural change towards immunisation are required. Also, health promotion campaigns to educate rural people on desirable health-seeking behaviour are needed.
