Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa pregnant women. HBV Infection has high tendency of vertical transmission and have adverse effect on both the mother and child. However, there is no evidence on prevalence of hepatitis B virus among pregnant women in Wolaita Zone. Therefore, this study aims to determine prevalence and associated factors of hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant attending Antenatal clinics of public Hospitals of Wolaita Zone. Method An institution based cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics of Wolaita Zone from October-November, 2018. Systematic random sampling was used to get respondents. A pretested, structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic characteristics and other variables. In addition, 5 ml of venous blood was collected from each study participants and serum was tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen. Data was entered to Epidata 3.1 version and exported Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 20.0 for descriptive and logistic regression analysis. All variables in bivariate analysis with p<0.25 were taken to multivariable analysis. P-value and Odds ratio with 95% CI was used to measure the presence and strength of the association respectively. Result The prevalence of Hepatitis B surface Antigen among pregnant women was 49(7.3%). History of multiple sexual partners (
Background Patient satisfaction in relation to perioperative anesthesia care represents an essential aspect of quality health care management. The assessment of patient satisfaction is a reality of practice today for good patient satisfaction with health care provider interaction and health influencing factors. Objectives To assess the magnitude and associated factor of patient satisfaction towards anesthesia care at Hawassa University comprehensive specialized Hospital April 5, – May 5, 2019Gc. Method: A prospective cross-sectional study design was employed in an adult surgical patient scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia and the regional anesthesia level of satisfaction and factor associated with satisfaction was analyzed. Data was entered info version 7 and transfer to SPSS version 25 .0 for analysis. Normality test checked by using Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov the data was normally distributed. Then the frequency, percentage, and cross-tabulation with different variables were determined, lastly, the magnitude and associated factor analyzed by binary logistic regression a multivariate logistic regression. Variables P-value < 0.2 binary logistic regression included in a multivariate logistic regression and p_value less than 0.05 was Taken as statistically significant. Result A Total of 200patient included in this study with a response rate of 100%. The main finding of this study was predictors of perioperative patient dissatisfaction were general anesthesia, duration of surgery, nausea, and vomiting, and pain after surgery. The magnitude of patient satisfaction is 60%. Odds of the patient who took general anesthesia were 2.31(1.096, 4.142) p = 0.026 more dissatisfied than regional anesthesia. Odds of the patient duration of surgery 2-3hr 0.313(0.124, 0.792) less likely dissatisfied than the duration of surgery 1hr.The odds of patient nausea and vomiting AOR = 2.575(1.163, 5.698) P = 002 more likely dissatisfied than didn’t have nausea and vomiting. The odds of patient pain after surgery AOR = 2.28(1.084, 4.76) more likely dissatisfied than the patient didn’t have pain after surgery. Conclusion patient satisfaction with perioperative anesthesia care Compared to another study magnitude of satisfaction very low, regular study and intervention should do every time /year in order to increase patient satisfaction.
