“…This finding is consistent with findings from the Robe study from Oromiya region, Central Ethiopia [14]. Existing studies also showed that pregnant women who attended ANC were more likely to be prepared for birth and its complications than those who didn’t attend ANC [13–15, 33]. As the number of ANC visits increases, the likely that women get prepared for birth and its complications increases as there is advice on its components in each visit since birth preparedness and complication readiness is one of the interventions in the focused antenatal care.…”

“…The least arrangement was made for identification of blood donor (5%).It is consistent with findings from different studies across the world [8–10, 12, 13, 33, 34]. It could be related to the fact that the preparation particularly involves families and the community as a whole [5].…”

“…This may be explained in relation to women’s knowledge that having money in hand enables them to buy the necessary materials, to have access for transportation at times of referrals in case of emergencies. However, it was higher than findings from recent studies conducted among pregnant women in Nigeria, Benin City, Edo state where only 29.4% [33, 34] of women saved money for emergency funds. In the Nigerian study the most common arrangement was made for identification of a health facility (98.3%) [34] and skilled provider for delivery (97.2%) [33].…”

“…Women’s inadequate plan in relation to identifying potential blood donors can result in serious health consequences arising from severe vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, delivery and post-partum period. These unpredictable emergency events can occur in places were laboratory facilities may not be readily available to assess blood group and having this information can minimize time delays in accessing safe and appropriate blood for transfusion needed under such circumstances to save lives [33]. Lack of awareness on the important components of birth preparedness and its advantage was also supported by the FGD discussants (TBAs and husbands) as a barrier to women’s preparation.…”

BackgroundBirth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) is a strategy to promote use of skilled maternal and neonatal care so that they can get timely skilled care, particularly during child birth. There is minimal evidence on the factors associated with BP/CR among pregnant women in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess the factors influencing BP/CR among pregnant women in Southern Ethiopia for the purpose of improving utilization of skilled attendant at birth.MethodsA community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 707 pregnant women in Southern Ethiopia in March 2015. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were used. For the quantitative study, the study subjects were included in the study by employing multi-stage sampling. Data was entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics 20. Level of statistical significance was declared at a p- value of <0.05. For the qualitative study, six FGDs were conducted and analyzed based on the thematic areas.ResultThe prevalence of BP /CR in Arba Minch Zuria Woreda was found to be 30%. The odds of being prepared for birth and its complications was higher among women from high economic class (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.16, 4.54), with frequency of antenatal care(ANC) > = 4 (AOR = 4.52, 95% CI = 2.26, 9.02), who received advice on BP &CR (AOR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.13, 3.01),and who were knowledgeable on labor and delivery(LAD) danger signs (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.01, 3.44). However, it was lower among women with parity of 2 - 4(AOR = .0.51, 95% CI = 0.31, 0.84) and >4 (AOR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.31, 0.84) than primiparous women. It was also lower among women from food insecure households (AOR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.16, 0.42) than their counterparts. Lack of awareness on BP/CR, privacy and respect in health institutions were mentioned by the FGD discussants as barriers to women’s preparation for birth.ConclusionsThe study showed that BP/CR is inadequate among pregnant women in the study area. Improving socio-economic and food security status of women, strengthening community-based education on complete attendance of ANC, and conforming to professional ethical standards were recommended.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12884-017-1582-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Background Erectile dysfunction in men is a common underestimated complication of diabetes mellitus, which is becoming a significant public health problem both in developing and developed countries. Erectile dysfunction threatens the well-being of clients, hence determining its risk factors and controlling it at an early stage is vital to preventing serious consequences and the burden of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate erectile dysfunction risk factors in patients with diabetes mellitus in Africa. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, African Journals Online, Wiley Online Library and Google Scholar were searched and complemented by manual searches. Egger's regression test was used to determine publication bias. The I 2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity between the studies. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to estimate pooled effect size, odds ratios, and 95% confidence interval across studies. STATA version 14 statistical software was used for the meta-analysis. Result Overall, 17 studies with 6002 study participants were included to identify risk factors of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients. Duration of diabetes mellitus >10 years (AOR = 2.63; 95% CI 1.27, 5.43), age >40 years (AOR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.51), peripheral neuropathy (AOR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.51, 10.72), no physical exercise (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.49, 1.78), testosterone level <8 nmol/l (AOR = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.06, 12.86), and peripheral vascular disease (AOR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.54–5.27) were significantly associated with erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients. Conclusions This study found that long duration of diabetes mellitus, age >40 years, testosterone deficiency, peripheral neuropathy, not involved in physical exercise, peripheral vascular disease, were significantly associated with increased risk of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients Therefore, situation-based interventions and country context-specific preventive strategies should be developed to decrease the risk factors of erectile dysfunction among patients with diabetes mellitus.
