“…e proportion of ACFP is unacceptably low in lowincome countries such as 23% in Bangladesh [13], 7.7% in Malawi [5], and 9.76% in Ethiopia [14]. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of ACFP among mothers who had IYC aged between 6 and 24 months was from 8.5 in a study held in Damot Weyde district to 70.3% in a study held in Debre Birhan town [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…Known independent predictors of ACFP are knowledge of mothers on IYC feeding practices, health education on IYC feeding practices, having repeated antenatal care (ANC) visits, having repeated postnatal care (PNC) visits, child age, maternal age, mothers' occupation, workload, mothers' educational status, birthplace, number of children, food secured in the household, and higher household wealth [16,18,20,21,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]31].…”

Background. Appropriate complementary feeding practices prevent malnutrition among children. The proportion and determinant factors of appropriate complementary feeding practices identified by different studies were inconsistent in Ethiopia. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the pooled proportion and determinants of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers. Methods. Databases (PubMed, HINARI, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) and university repositories were used to search for important articles. A critical appraisal of the studies was conducted. Data analysis was conducted using STATA version 11. Cochran (Q test) and I2 test were used to test the heterogeneity of the studies. Publication bias was checked using the funnel plot for asymmetry and Egger’s regression test. Results. Seventeen primary studies with a total sample size of 9166 mothers were involved in this study. The pooled proportion of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers who had infants and young children aged between 6 and 24 months was 21.77 (with a 95% CI: 14.07–29.48). Mothers’ educational status of secondary school and above (OR = 3.36 with a 95% CI: 3.03–3.69), having repeated antenatal care visits (OR = 4.77 with a 95% CI: 3.49–6.05), child’s age between 12 and 24 months (OR = 3.7 with a 95% CI: 2.75–4.65), having repeated postnatal care visits (OR = 3.17 with a 95% CI: 1.96–4.38), health education (OR = 4.88 with a 95% CI: 3.86–5.9), knowledge of mothers (OR = 4.85 with a 95% CI: 3.77–5.93), maternal age between 18 and 35 years (AOR = 2.67 with a 95% CI: 1.64–3.72), institutional delivery (OR = 2.23 with a 95% CI: 1.79–2.68), and higher household wealth (OR = 2.65 with a 95% CI: 1.46–3.84) were found to be statistically significant associated factors of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers. Conclusions. The pooled proportion of appropriate complementary feeding practices was low in Ethiopia. Knowledge of mothers and maternal health service uptake such as antenatal care, postnatal care, and institutional delivery increase appropriate complementary feeding practices. More focus is required for mothers who have children aged less than 12 months, mothers aged above 35 years and less than 18 years, lower mothers’ educational status, and lower household wealth. Therefore, integrated interventions are still required to improve appropriate complementary feeding practices.

“…A study from the Bensa District in the Sidama region reported similar numbers, with 48.2% of households being food secure and 52.1% experiencing some degree of food insecurity. They concluded that children from food secure families received a more optimal complementary feeding when comparing them to children from families experiencing food insecurity [ 24 ]. Another study from the Boricha district in Sidama reported that 82% experienced food insecurity over a year and showed seasonal variations with higher numbers of food-insecure households in March (69%) compared to September (50%) and December (38%) [ 25 ].…”

Background Undernutrition constitutes a major problem among children in Hawassa, Ethiopia, and the literature on nutritional status in hospitalised children is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate dietary diversity, nutritional practices, and the frequencies of undernutrition and the factors associated with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in a hospitalised paediatric population in Hawassa, Southern Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out among hospitalised children in Hawassa, Southern Ethiopia. Children aged 6 to 59 months and their caregivers admitted for >24 hours from two public hospitals in Hawassa between November 2019 and January 2020 were included. Dietary diversity was assessed using World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Weight and height/length of the children were measured, and z-scores were calculated using the WHO growth standards. The definition of SAM was a weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) less than –3 or a clinically confirmed SAM diagnosis with higher WHZ. Results A total of 188 caregiver-child pairs were assessed in the two public hospitals. The majority of the patients were admitted with SAM (N = 70/188, 37%) or respiratory tract infections (N = 44/188, 23%). There was a similar number of boys and girls with SAM. Of all the children, 59% reported to have consumed foods from fewer than four food groups, while 40% reported eating foods from four or more food groups. The rate of malnutrition was high, and 35.8% of the children were classified as wasted (WHZ < –2) and 41% were stunted (height-for-age z-score < –2). Nearly 30% of the SAM patients were also stunted. Conclusion This study revealed that hospitalised children in this setting had poor dietary diversity and nutritional status, a high degree of morbidity, and extreme poverty. There is thus a need to focus on nutrition patterns in clinical settings.

“…This qualitative research is about medication adherence during the covid- 19 The factors that influence patient adherence to taking ART are different during this covid-19 pandemic, namely the distance from which they live has an effect on patients wanting to take medication, so the role of NGOs in sending drugs is very important, according to the doctors approval, after the next 3 months the patient is required to come, this is never happened before the Covid-19 condition, Patients adherence are very dependent on the patient's self-awareness to live in the long term, the convenience has been provided by M Jamil Hospital by making it easy to send drugs to the patient's own address. This qualitative analysis using N vivo 12, which has now developed into N vivo 14 Patient recruitment is divided into two, namely obedient and non-compliant patients, but the patient's answers are almost the same.…”

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic condition affects the adherence of PLWHA in taking antiretroviral drugs. People with Lost to Follow-up (LTFU) were an average of 26 %, The feared impact is the high mortality rate and decreased productivity, visits of PLWHA patients to M Jamil Hospital come from all regions in West Sumatra to the southern provinces of Jambi and Bengkulu. This study aimed to determine factors that influence patient non-Adherence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study was conducted by exploring the experiences of patients and health workers by observing adherence to taking antiretroviral, 34 informant: 25 patients, 5 NGOs, and 4 health workers, The data were collected from September 6th to October 9th 2021, Analysis data using N VIVO 12. Results: Patients in taking medication during the COVID-19 pandemic were feeling bored, most of the patient lived was so far, so patients often asked for help from NGOs to take medication. Forgetfulness, busyness, and fear of being exposed to COVID-19. Then, the economic factor, due to the large number of layoffs, and the absence of BPJS insurance affects compliance, while the factors of stigma, stress, feeling well are slightly expressed by patients. It turns out that the Covid-19 condition affects patients to come for treatment to the hospital. In addition to drug side effects, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting also affect medication adherence. The role of NGOs in providing information and education as well as motivating and taking medication during the COVID-19 condition is very important. Conclusion: The most common causes of non-compliance from loss to follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic are; bored, far from home, forgetful, and economic factors for fear of covid-19. Most of the side effects of drugs are dizziness, and nausea and vomiting so that the role of NGOs is important in helping patients take medication.
