Bacteriological Identification among Patients Attending at Jimma University Veterinary Clinic

Abstract Findings of conducted study showed that the predominant bacteria in Jimma University Veterinary Clinic. Among predominant bacteria identified includes; Escherichia coli 46 (34.3%), Klebsiella 23(17.2%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus 40(29.9%) and Streptococcus spp 25(18.7%). Among 4 species of bacteria isolated, 2 were gram negative and 2 of them was gram positive bacteria. Among the antibiotic susceptibility test, Staphylococcus aureus showed the total resistant on penicillin while tetracycline showed to have the highest sensitivity. Escherichia coli showed the total resistant on gentamicin (100%). Veterinary Clinic is at risk of acquiring bacterial infections due to the presence of mentioned bacteria during this study. The big issue is that these infections resist to antibiotics used in treatment according to results of the study. Health care workers in Veterinary Clinic should improve hygiene to control clinic acquired infections and much attention should be done during diagnosis to improve treatment of patients.

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Contraceptive Use among Postpartum Women in Jimma University Medical Center, Jimma Town, South West Ethiopia

Bayesian parametric modeling of time to tuberculosis co-infection of hiv/aids patients under antiretroviral therapy treatment at jimma university medical center, ethiopia.

Abstract Background: Tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infection among HIV/AIDS patients, including those following Antiretroviral Therapy treatment. The risk of Tuberculosis infection is higher in people living with HIV/AIDS than in people who are free from HIV/AIDS. Many studies focused on prevalence and determinants of Tuberculosis in HIV/AIDS patients without taking into account the censoring aspects of the time to event data. Therefore, this study was undertaken with aim to model time to Tuberculosis co-infection of HIV/AIDS patients following Antiretroviral Therapy treatment using Bayesian parametric survival models.Methods: A data of a retrospective cohort of HIV/AIDS patients under Antiretroviral Therapy treatment follow-up from January 2016 to December 2020 until Tuberculosis was clinically diagnosed or until the end of the study was collected from Antiretroviral Therapy treatment center of Jimma University Medical Center, Ethiopia. In order to identify the risk factors which have association with Tuberculosis co-infection survival time, Bayesian parametric Accelerated failure time survival models were fitted to the data using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation methodology.Results: About 26.37% of the study subjects had been co-infected with tuberculosis during the study period. Among the parametric Accelerated failure time models, the Bayesian log-logistic Accelerated failure time model was found to be the best fitting model for the data.Conclusions: Tuberculosis co-infection survival time was significantly associated with place of residence, smoking, drinking alcohol, family size, WHO clinical stages, functional status, CD4 count, BMI and hemoglobin level. The finding of this study provide timely information on the risk factors associated with TB co-infection survival time for healthy policy makers and planners.

COVID-19’s Negative Impacts on Clinical Learning and Proposed Compensation Mechanisms Among Undergraduate Midwifery and Nursing Students of Jimma University

Clinicians’ prescribing pattern, rate of patients’ medication adherence and its determinants among adult hypertensive patients at jimma university medical center: prospective cohort study.

Background Many studies conducted in the past focused on patients’ sociodemographic factors and medical profiles to identify the determinants of suboptimal blood pressure control. However, prescribing patterns and clinicians’ adherence to guidelines are also important factors affecting the rate of blood pressure control. Therefore, this study aimed to determine clinicians’ prescribing patterns, patients’ medication adherence, and its determinants among hypertensive patients at Jimma University Medical Center. Methods A general prospective cohort study was conducted among hypertensive patients who had regular follow-up at Jimma university ambulatory cardiac clinic from March 20, 2018, to June 20, 2018. Patients’ specific data was collected with a face-to-face interview and from their medical charts. Clinicians’ related data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to identify key independent variables influencing patients’ adherence. P-Values of less than 0.05 were considered statically significant. Results From the total of 416 patients, 237(57.0%) of them were males with a mean age of 56.50 ± 11.96 years. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were the most frequently prescribed class of antihypertensives, accounting for 261(63.7%) prescriptions. Combination therapy was used by the majority of patients, with 275 (66.1%) patients receiving two or more antihypertensive drugs. Patients’ medication adherence was 46.6%, while clinicians’ guideline adherence was 44.2%. Patients with merchant occupation (P = 0.020), physical inactivity (P = 0.033), and diabetes mellitus co-morbidity (P = 0.008) were significantly associated with a higher rate of medication non-adherence. Conclusion The rate of medication adherence was poor among hypertensive patients. Physicians were not-adherent to standard treatment guideline. The most commonly prescribed class of drugs were angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Effective education should be given to patients to improve medication adherence. Prescribers should be trained on treatment guidelines regularly to keep them up-to-date with current trends of hypertension treatment and for better treatment outcomes.

Magnitude and associated factors of peripheral neuropathy among diabetes patients attending Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia

Contributing factors to perinatal mortality among women who gave birth at the jimma university medical centre, southwest ethiopia.

Background Perinatal mortality remains a challenge worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Although significant achievements have been made to reduce neonatal mortality worldwide, in the last two decades there was a total of 5.3 million neonatal deaths and stillbirths each year. This study aims to assess the magnitude of perinatal mortality and its contributing factors among births at the Jimma University Medical Centre in Ethiopia. Method A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted between January and April 2017. Convenience sampling was used to select study participants and data were collected using interviewer-administered pretested structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, with the chi-square test used to assess the relationship between each factor and outcome. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Results The rate of perinatal death was 107 per 1000 births, of which 39.2%, 25.9% and 34.9% were fresh stillbirths, macerated stillbirths and early neonatal deaths respectively. The majority (77.8%) of stillbirths occurred before the study participant reached the hospital and 64.3% of stillbirths had low birth weight. Hyaline membrane disease (27.6%) and meconium aspiration syndrome (20.7%) were the two most common causes of early perinatal death. Obstetric complications contributed to 89.6% of perinatal deaths. Stillbirth was significantly associated with a lack of education (P=0.036). The rate of perinatal mortality was high among women with their first pregnancy (53.0%) and those who had no previous pregnancy-related problems (79.5%), and was significantly associated with mechanical causes and antepartum haemorrhage (P=0.015). Conclusions The findings indicated that the rate of perinatal mortality was high at the Himma University Medical Centre. Improving maternal education and health services in rural areas are important steps to prevent poor perinatal outcomes. Facilitating transport and improving referral procedures may help to prevent mechanical complications, which are the most common cause of perinatal death, particularly fresh stillbirths which, in the present study, often occurred before a participant arrived at the hospital.

Sleep deprivation and associated factors among students of the Institute of Health in Jimma University, Southwest Ethiopia

Abstract Objective Despite getting sufficient sleep being one of the most important things that we can do to keep our body and mind healthy, sleep deprivation has become a major public health concern. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sleep deprivation and its associated factors among students of the Institute of Health in Jimma University. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 10 to April 24 in 2019. Data were collected from 365 randomly selected participants and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS; version 23). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with sleep deprivation. The level of significance was declared at a P-value of <0.05. Results A total of 365 participants participated, with a response rate of 97.6%. The study findings showed that 60.8% of students had sleep deprivation and 68.2% had sleep latency. Health problems (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.91 [95% confidence interval {CI} = 1.01–3.58]), alcohol consumption [AOR = 0.42 (95% CI = 0.2–0.89)], cigarette smoking [AOR = 0.31 (95% CI = 0.09–0.93)], khat chewing [AOR = 0.47 (95% CI = 0.12–0.82)], use of an electronic device before bedtime [AOR = 5.26 (95% CI = 1.78–15.52)], and cumulative grade point average (CGPA) [AOR = 0.48 (95% CI = 0.27–0.83)] were significantly associated with sleep deprivation. Conclusions Sleep deprivation was common in the study area. This is mainly due to health problems, substance utilization, long-time use of an electronic device, and low CGPA. Therefore, a strategy and system should be established to limit substance use, enhance proper use of electronic devices, and create awareness on the impact of nonoptimal sleep.
