Background: Client satisfaction is an important and commonly used indicator for measuring the quality of health care as it affects clinical outcomes, patient retention, and medical malpractice claims. To limit unintended pregnancies and avoid repeated abortions promoting comprehensive abortion care services is crucial. In Ethiopia problems related to abortion were neglected and access to quality abortion care was very limited. Similarly, information related to comprehensive abortion service, particularly clients’ satisfaction, and associated factors are limited in the study area that the study will be going to fill. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study design was employed on 255 women who come for abortion service in public health facilities of Mojo town were included consecutively. The data was coded and entered into Epi info version 7 software and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were applied to identify the associated factors. Model fitness and multicollinearity were checked by using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test and the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). Adjusted Odds Ratios and their 95% Confidence were reported. Results: A total of 255 study subjects were included in this study with a 100% response rate. The study depicted that 56.5% (95% CI: 51.3, 61.7) of the clients were satisfied with comprehensive abortion care. Having college and above educational level (AOR: 0.27; 95% CI: (0.14, 0.95)), Employee occupation (AOR: 1.86; 95% CI: (1.41, 2.93)), medical abortion as a type of uterine evacuation (AOR: 3.93; 95% CI: (1.75, 8.83)) and natural method of family planning users (AOR: 0.36; 95% CI: (0.08, 0.60)) were factors associated with women’s satisfaction. Conclusion: The overall satisfaction toward comprehensive abortion care was considerably lower. Waiting time, cleanness of rooms, lack of laboratory service, and availability of service providers are mentioned factors for client dissatisfaction.

BackgroundAnthropometric measurements are quantitative measurements of the human body size, shape, and nutritional status. It is a simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive approach used to identify mothers at risk of labor outcomes. On the other hand, hematological disorders are common during pregnancy with deleterious health effects on the mother and the fetus, which consequently cause fetal growth retardation and low weight.ObjectivesTo assess the relationship between maternal anthropometry and hemoglobin status with the newborn birth weight among primiparous mothers at Adama Hospital Medical College, Eastern Ethiopia 2021.MethodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study design involving 269 primiparous pregnant mothers was conducted at Adama Hospital Medical College from September 15 to October 30, 2021. The consecutive sampling technique was used till the required sample size was attained. Interviewer-administered questionnaires, instruments for anthropometric measurement, hemoglobinometer, and electronic weighing scales were used to collect the data. The data was entered into EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS software version 21 for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the independent variables and the outcome variables.ResultsAbout 269 mothers and their neonates participated in this study. Multivariate logistic regression shows that maternal ANC visit less than two [AOR=4.149, 95% CI: (1.27, 13.52)], maternal height [AOR= 0.878, 95% CI: (0.806, 0.95)], and maternal Hgb <11g/dl [AOR=4.127, 95% CI: (1.63, 10.43)] were significantly associated with the occurrences of low birth weight (p<0.05).ConclusionThis study has shown that maternal anthropometric characteristics and hemoglobin status were important factors associated birth weight. Health facilities should emphasize routine measurements of maternal anthropometry and hemoglobin during ANC visits in order to reduce complications related to labor outcomes.

Introduction: patient satisfaction is an important and commonly used indicator for measuring the quality in health care as it affects clinical outcomes, patient retention, and medical malpractice claims. In Ethiopia problems related to abortion were neglected and access to quality abortion care was very limited. Similarly, information related to abortion care service particularly clients’ satisfaction is limited in the study area. The aim of this study was to determine level of satisfaction on abortion service and associated factors among clients who received the service at public health facility of Mojo town. Methods: facility based cross-sectional study design was employed on 255 women who come for abortion service in public health facilities of Mojo town. Data was coded and entered in to Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the associated factors. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: the study showed that 56.5% of the clients were satisfied with abortion care service. Educational level college and above (AOR: 0.27; 95% CI: (0.74, 0.95), employee occupation (AOR: 1.86; 95%CI: (1.41, 2.93), medical abortion as type of uterine evacuation (AOR: 3.93; 95% CI: (1.75, 8.83) and natural method of family planning users (AOR: 0.36; 95% CI: (0.08, 0.60) were factors associated with abortion care service. Conclusion: the overall satisfaction towards abortion care service was considerably lower. Healthcare provider and management should act on activities that increase client satisfaction.

Background: Vernix caseosa is a complex proteolipid material synthesized partly by fetal sebaceous glands during the last trimester of pregnancy. Understanding the structure and function of newborn skin is crucial for determining optimal thermal support, infection control, and skin moisturization. So far, in Ethiopia, there is no research done related to the distribution of vernix caseosa and associated factors on newborn skin. Doing such research could give awareness about factors associated with the distribution of vernix caseosa on newborns' skin and to take necessary protective measures for those that may be affected. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the distribution of vernix caseosa and associated factors among newborns delivered at Adama Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Medical College from November to December 1, 2021. Methodology: Hospital-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from November to December 1, 2021 at Adama Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Medical College (ACSHMC). Four hundred twenty-two eligible newborns were selected by a systematic sampling method. Data were collected by four data collectors by using a pretested questionnaire. The distribution of vernix caseosa on the different regions of the neonate was assessed, by exposing their whole body for a minute. Data entry was done by EPI data version 4.6 and analyzed by using SPSS version 25. A logistic regression of P-value of <0.25 during bivariate and P < 0.05 during multivariate analysis at a 95% confidence level was considered statistically significant.
