Project description:BackgroundThe use of psychoactive substances, including tobacco, alcohol, and others, remains a major public health problem. However, few studies have been conducted on Moroccan university students. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of substance use among students at Mohammed First University, Oujda, Morocco.MethodsWe conducted this cross-sectional study with students enrolled at one of the Mohammed First University of Oujda's institutes as part of the 2021-202 academic year. We used a self-administered survey to collect data anonymously. We cleaned the data and then entered it into IBM SPSS Statistics 21 for analysis. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics as well as univariate and multivariate analysis. We considered a P value < 0.05 as the level of significance.ResultsIn this study, out of 500 students we asked to complete the survey, 478 responded; the response rate was 95.6%. The average age was 21.1 ± 3.0, and the M/F sex ratio was 0.97. The lifetime prevalence of psychoactive substance use among Oujda University students was 28.7%. The most commonly used substances were tobacco (24.1%), alcohol (15.9%), cannabis (13.4%), sedatives (6.9%), stimulants (5.2%), and cocaine (4.4%). Male sex, age > 20 years, self-financing, school failure (one year repeated or more), the practice of a leisure activity, the presence of a personal medical or psychiatric history, and the presence of a family medical history were all significantly associated with the use of psychoactive substances.ConclusionOur study revealed a significant prevalence of psychoactive substance use among university students in Oujda, highlighting the need for interventions at various levels. Further analytical studies are necessary to better understand the initiation and maintenance of psychoactive substance use and to identify all associated factors to enhance prevention strategies against substance use disorders.

Project description:BackgroundPreterm birth is defined as the birth of a baby before 37 completed weeks of gestation. Worldwide, prematurity is the second foremost cause of death in children under the age of 5 years. Preterm birth also gives rise to short and long term complications. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with preterm birth in Wachemo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed Memorial referral hospital, Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted from July 01, 2018 to June 30, 2019 among mothers who gave birth in Wachemo University Nigest Eleni Mohammed Memorial referral hospital. A retrospective one-year data was retrieved from medical records of mothers with their index neonates. Simple random sampling technique was employed to recruit study participants. SPSS version 20 software was used for data entry and computing statistical analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association of each independent variable with the dependent variable. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence intervals was computed to identify the presence and strength of association, and statistical significance was affirmed if p < 0.05.ResultThe current study evaluated 213 medical records of mothers with index neonates (71 cases and 142 controls). Urban residency [AOR = 0.48; 95% Cl; 0.239, 0.962], antenatal care follow up [AOR = 0.08; 95 Cl; 0.008, 0.694], premature rupture of membranes [AOR = 3.78; 95% Cl; 1.467, 9.749], pregnancy induced hypertension [AOR = 3.77; 95% Cl; 1.408, 10.147] and multiple pregnancies [AOR = 5.53; 95% Cl; 2.467, 12.412] were the factors associated with preterm birth. More than one-third (36.6%) preterm neonates died in the present study.ConclusionsThe present study found that urban residency, antenatal care follow up, premature rupture of membranes, pregnancy induced hypertension and multiple pregnancies were factors associated with preterm birth. The mortality among preterm neonates is high. Enhancing antenatal care follow up and early detection and treatment of disorders among pregnant women during antenatal care and undertaking every effort to improve outcomes of preterm birth and reduce neonatal mortality associated with prematurity is decisive.

Project description:BackgroundDietary diversity has continued to receive a global attention among pregnant women as they have been considered susceptible to malnutrition because of their increased nutrient demands. Thus, a variety of foodstuffs in their diet are necessary for ensuring the appropriateness of their nutrient consumptions. This study, therefore assessed the dietary diversity practice and its determinants among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Wachemo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed memorial referral hospital, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 303 participants from May 1 to June 15, 2019 using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS (version24.0). Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to decide the association of each explanatory variable with the outcome variable. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence intervals was calculated to identify the presence and strength of association, and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05.ResultsThe overall prevalence of adequate dietary diversity practices was observed to be 42.6%. The determinants of dietary diversity practice included earning of a monthly income ≥2000 Ethiopian birr (AOR = 1.62; 95%CI:1.19-2.85), maternal educational level (AOR = 2.50; 95% CI: 1.05-6.12), educational status of partner (AOR = 2.45; 95% CI:1.20, 9.57), having a partner who was a government employee (AOR = 4; 95% CI:2.18-7.21), and the receiving of nutritional information (AOR = 1.35; 95% CI: 3.39-6.94).ConclusionsThe study indicated that the overall consumption of adequate dietary diversity practice was found to be low. Therefore, increasing household income, enhancing nutritional related information, advancing the academic level of both wife and her partner is essential to improve women's dietary diversity practice.

Project description:IntroductionThe best way to eradicate corona virus disease (COVID-19) viral infection is mass vaccination. Many studies demonstrate vaccination is associated with some local and systemic side effects. This study aimed to provide evidence on AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine side effects.MethodologyInstitutional based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 254 health workers at Nigist Eleni Mohammed memorial comprehensive specialized hospital (from July 01/ 2021 to July 30/2021). Data were collected consecutively through self-administered online survey created on Google Forms of platform which had been randomly delivered via (Facebook or telegram pages). Demographic data of participants, side effect after first and second dose of vaccine were covered.ResultThe prevalence of at least one side effect after first dose was 91.3% and after second dose was 67%. Injection site pain (63.8% vs. 50.4%), headache (48.8% vs. 33.5%), fever (38.8% vs. 20.9%), muscle pain (38.8% vs. 21.7%), fatigue (26% vs. 28.7%, tenderness at the site (27.6% vs. 21.7%), and joint pain (27.6% vs. 20.9%) were the most commonly reported side effects after first and second dose vaccine respectively. Most of participants reported that their symptoms emerged after 6hr of vaccination and only less than 5% of participant's symptoms lasted more than 72hr of post vaccination. The younger age (≤29 year) were more susceptible to at least one side effect (χ 2 = 4.2; p = 0.04) after first dose.ConclusionThe prevalence of side effect after first and second dose vaccine was higher. Most of the symptoms were short lived and mild. This result might help to solve an emerging public health challenge (vaccine hesitancy) nurtured by misinformation related to vaccines safety.

Project description:BackgroundPreterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality accounting for 35% of all neonatal deaths worldwide, and the second most frequent cause of death for under five children. Despite different efforts, preterm neonatal mortality is still persistently high in Ethiopia. Little is known about death and its predictors among preterm neonates in the study area.ObjectiveThis study is aimed at estimating the incidence of mortality and its predictors among preterm neonates admitted to the NICU of NEMMCSH.Methods and materialsA hospital-based prospective follow-up study was conducted from January to November 2022. A total of 197 preterm neonates were selected consecutively and followed. The Kaplan-Meier survival and failure curves were used to describe the proportion of deaths over time and to compare groups. The independent effects of covariates on the hazard of death were analyzed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsPreterm neonates were followed for 1840 person-days. The mean time to death was 5.68 days (SD = 5.54). The incidence of mortality was 26.08 (95% CI: 19.65, 34.61) per 1000 person days. Preterm neonates of mothers with eclamsia (AHR = 3.03), preterm neonates who have not received KMC (AHR = 2.26), and preterm neonates who have not exclusively breastfed (AHR = 4.4) had higher hazards of death as compared to their counterparts.Conclusion and recommendationThe mean time to death was 5.68 days (SD = 5.54). The incidence of mortality was 26.08 per 1000 person days. Eclamsia, KMC, and exclusive breastfeeding were significant predictors of death among preterm neonates. The role of KMC in reducing mortality rates and improving outcomes has to be emphasized for mothers and families. Caregivers have to ensure that mothers and families receive adequate support and resources to facilitate KMC, including access to lactation support, counseling, and assistance with practical aspects of caregiving. Counseling and practical support to enhance exclusive breastfeeding initiation and continuation have to be strengthened. Special attention has to be given to the preterm neonates of mothers with eclampsia.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify determinants of meconium aspiration syndrome among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Nigist Eleni Mohammed Memorial Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, South Ethiopia, in 2022.MethodA facility-based unmatched case-control study was used to identify meconium aspiration syndrome with a total sample size of 249 from January to April 2022. Data were entered by using EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 24 software. Descriptive findings were presented by frequency tables and percentages. Multicollinearity was checked and the goodness of fit test was done. To determine the independent determinants associated with meconium aspiration syndrome, bivariate analysis was done and variables with a p value of <0.05 were taken to multivariate logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was calculated, and statistical significance was declared at a p value less than 0.05.ResultTwo hundred forty-nine (83 cases and 166 controls) mothers with their respective neonates were included in this study and that made the overall response rate 100%. Preeclampsia (adjusted odds ratio: 3.35, 95% confidence interval: 1.02, 10.97), antepartum hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio: 3.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.50, 8.78), duration of labor (adjusted odds ratio: 4.34, 95% confidence interval: 1.83, 10.30), premature rupture of membrane (adjusted odds ratio: 16.02, 95% confidence interval: 5.66, 45.29), and obstructed labor (adjusted odds ratio: 4.57, 95% confidence interval: 1.42, 14.70) were determinants of meconium aspiration syndrome.ConclusionIn this study, preeclampsia, antepartum hemorrhage, duration of labor, premature rupture of membrane, and obstructed labor were determinants of meconium aspiration syndrome. Therefore, to reduce the risk of meconium aspiration syndrome, prevention, early identification, and management of these obstetrical factors may help to reduce meconium aspiration syndrome locally.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study assessed the antimicrobial use-related drug therapy problems (DTPs) among patients admitted to the medical ward of Wachemo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed Memorial Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (WCUNEMMCSH), Southwest Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based prospective observational study design was used to assess antimicrobial use-related DTPs among patients admitted to the medical ward of WCUNEMMCSH from June to August 2021. Data were collected using a structured data abstraction format.ResultsIn all, 128 patients admitted to the medical ward were enrolled. Among the study participants, at least one form of antimicrobial DTP occurred in 98 (76.6%) of them. The most prevalent DTPs were unnecessary drug treatment in 42 (32.8%), the need for additional drug treatment in 36 (28.1%), and non-adherence in 30 (23.4%) of the patients. There were a total of 288 antimicrobial drug orders. Ceftriaxone 120 (41.7%) and azithromycin 69 (24.0%) were the most commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs. In multivariate logistic analysis, the length of hospital stay (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.97, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-8.32; p = 0.04) and the number of diagnosed diseases (AOR = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.12-8.15, p = 0.02) were predictors of antimicrobial use-related DTPs.ConclusionAntimicrobial use-related DTPs are common among patients admitted to the medical ward of WCUNEMMCSH. Health professionals should work together to reduce the high prevalence of DTPs among medical ward admitted patients in this hospital.
