Introduction Non-pharmacological pain management practices are very important for the successful treatment of pain. It has an impact on the patient’s quality of life and the family’s financial situation owing to missed workdays, direct medical expenses, and incapacity from pain. Objective Therefore, this study is intended to assess non-pharmacological pain management practice and associated factors among nurses working at comprehensive specialized hospitals in northwest, Ethiopia. Methods Institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed from May 30 to June 30, 2022. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 322 study participants. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with non-pharmacological pain management practice. Variables with a P-value less than .25 in the bi-variable analysis were entered into the multivariable logistic regression analysis and a P-value of less than .05 was considered as having a statistically significant association. Results A total of 322 nurses participated, with a response rate of 98.8%. It was found that 48.1% (95% CI: 42.65, 53.62) of nurses had good practice in non-pharmacological pain management. Pain assessment tool availability (AOR = 1.68 [95% CI: 1.02, 2.75]) ( P = .04), good pain assessment practice (AOR = 1.74 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.84]) ( P = .03), favorable attitude (AOR = 1.71 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.95]) ( P = .03), and age (26–35) (AOR = 4.46 [95% CI: 1.24, 16.18]) ( P = .02) were factors significantly related to non-pharmacological pain management practice. Conclusion According to this work, the prevalence of non-pharmacological pain management practices was found to be low. Good pain assessment practices, availability of pain assessment tools, favorable attitude, and age (26–35) years were significant factors of non-pharmacological pain management practice. Hospitals are better give training on non-pharmacological pain management methods for nurses as they are important to treat pain holistically, increase patient satisfaction, and are cost-effective.

Background Effective pain relief is an essential component of high-quality healthcare delivery, and pharmacists must be well versed in pain mechanisms, assessment, and management. This study examined community pharmacy professional’s (CPPs) knowledge and attitude towards pediatric pain management in Community pharmacies (CPs) and Drug Retail Outlets (DRO) of Ambo and Ginchi towns, west central Ethiopia. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in Ambo and Ginchi towns, the western part of the nation’s capital. All voluntary CPPs working by CPs and DRSs in the towns of Ambo and Ginchi were included in the current study. SPSS version 25 was then used to process, analyze, and interpret the data. Results Among the 131 CPPs who were approached for the study, 104 agreed to participate and returned the questionnaire. CPPs mean knowledge score on pediatric pain management was 6.69 ±1.92, with a minimum score of 2 and a maximum score of 17. The majority of CPPs 82 (87.2%) in the study did not correctly answer half of the questions. Most of CPPs, 98 (94.3%), admitted they had no training in pain management, and 102 (98.2%) of the respondents said the same about pediatric pain management. The finding indicated that CPPs work experience in CP or DROs had impact on their knowledge about pediatric pain management and similarly, the mean knowledge score of pharmacists was higher than that of pharmacy technicians. Conclusion This study revealed that CPPs have inadequate knowledge and attitude to provide effective pediatric pain management service. To bridge the knowledge gap and effectively control pediatric pain, pharmacists who are actively practicing their profession are advised to continue their medical education and training.

Introduction The worldwide prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy was recently estimated to be 34.6%. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in developed nations has been thoroughly investigated, and risk factors are well understood. However, there is a shortage of information in the study areas about the prevalence and contributing factors of diabetic retinopathy among type two diabetes patients. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and associated factor among type 2 diabetic patients who were on follow up services at northwest Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals diabetic care units. Method An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted at northwest Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals from October 15 to November 15, 2021, among 496 diabetes patients. Systematic random sampling technique was used. Data were collected by utilizing a semi-structured questionnaire and a direct Topcon retinal camera inspection. Then data were coded, entered, and exported to SPSS version 23 from EPI-Data version 4.6. All variables with P-value < 0.25 in the binary logistic regression analyses were included in the multivariable regression analysis. The degree of association was interpreted by using the adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals, and the significance level was declared at P-value < 0.05. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test was used to check the fitness of the model. Result The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among type two diabetes patients was 36.3%. Sex [AOR = 3.25, 95% CI (1.80, 6.68)], visiting health institution [AOR = 0.027, 95% CI (0.003, 0.253)], educational level [AOR = 4.23, 95% CI (1.09, 16.47)], glycemic control [AOR = 0.099, 95% CI (0.02, 0.49)], hypertension status (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI (1.01, 6.45)] were significantly associated with diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion In this study less than half of diabetic patients had diabetic retinopathy. Sex, visiting health institution, educational level, glycemic control, and hypertension status were significantly associated with diabetic retinopathy.
