Effect of technology-supported mindfulness-based interventions for maternal depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis with implementation perspectives for resource-limited settings
No full textBackground Maternal depression is pregnancy and childbirth-related depression during pregnancy (prenatal depression (PND)) or after delivery (postpartum depression (PPD)). It is a recognized global public health concern with extensive repercussions adversely affecting women's well-being and the developmental progress of infants. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been shown to be effective in maternal depression. Technology-supported MBI could be an effective preventive strategy for maternal depression, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where lack of important resources limits the accessibility to standard care. However, the limited available studies assessing the effect of technology-supported MBIs for maternal depression might be insufficient to reach a definitive conclusion. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the pooled estimated effect of technology-supported MBIs for maternal depression, identify available studies, and reveal applicable health technologies with MBIs. Method This study was conducted according to the PRISMA-P 2020 and the review protocol was registered in PROSPERO; CRD42024537853. The risk of bias was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The meta-analysis was done with R. Result Data from 18 articles, none from low-income countries (LICs), were included in the systematic review, representing 2,481 participants, 15 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled effect size indicated that technology-supported MBIs had a positive effect on maternal depression (SMD - 0.55, 95% CI [- 0.70; -0.40], p < 0.001). The sub-group analysis showed that this intervention was effective in both PND (SMD = - 0.57, 95% CI [- 0.74; -0.39], p < 0.001) and PPD (SMD - 0.53, 95% CI [- 0.91; -0.15], p = 0.014). Conclusion Integrating technology-supported MBIs into maternal care is recommended to enhance maternal mental health. However, the lack of trials in LMICs may limit the generalizability and external validity of this finding and it is crucial to conduct further research, in the area to tailor intervention and maximize its effectiveness. Context-specific trial studies are pivotal for successful program adoption.Jimma Universit
Missed Opportunity for Routine Vaccination and Associated Factors among Children Aged 0-23 Months in Public Health Facilities of Jimma Town"
No full textBackground: Missed opportunities for routine immunization are an obstacle to raising immunization coverage among children and leading to high child morbidity and mortality. One potential benefit of reducing the missed opportunity for vaccination among children is a reduction of the risk of vaccine-preventable disease, death, and disability and helps countries reach their immunization targets, and improve timeliness. Thus, for successful efforts to address Missed opportunity for routine immunization by fully vaccinating the child, and protecting them from vaccine-preventable diseases, it is vital to have a clear understanding of the magnitude of missed opportunities for routine immunization and its associated factors. Objective: The study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of missed opportunities for routine immunization among children 0-23 months old attend public hospitals and Health centers in Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia 2022. Methods: Facility-based cross-sectional study design
Adequacy of prenatal care services and associated factors in Southern Ethiopia
No full textAbstract Background Prenatal care is an important component for the continuum of care in maternal and child health services. Despite increased attention on prenatal care service coverage, the adequacy of service provision has not been well addressed in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the status of the adequacy of prenatal care and its associated factors in Southern Ethiopia. Method A longitudinal study done by the Performance care Monitoring and Accountability (PMA2020) project was used. The study was conducted from August 2016 to January 2017 in Southern Ethiopia. A multistage stratified cluster design in which all enumeration areas were randomly selected using probability proportional to size and all households were screened to identify 324 pregnant women of six or more months. Questions regarding early attendance of prenatal care, enough visits, and sufficient services were asked to measure the adequacy of prenatal care. Finally, an ordered logistic regression analysis was employed to assess factors associated with the adequacy of prenatal care services. Results Of the total pregnant women 44.21 % attended enough visits, 84.10 % had early visits, and 42.03 % received sufficient services. The women residing in urban areas had 2.35 odds of having adequate prenatal care in reference to rural areas (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.35 [95 % CI 1.05–5.31]). Women who attended primary and secondary education had 2.42(aOR 2.42 [95 % C.I. 1.04, 5.65]), and 4.18 (aOR 4.18 [95 % CI 1.32, 13.29]) odds of adequate prenatal care in reference with those who never attended education respectively. The women participating in one to five networks have 2.18 odds of adequate prenatal care in reference to their counterparts (aOR 2.78 [95 % CI 1.01, 7.71]). Conclusions The adequacy of prenatal care services in Southern Ethiopia is very low. The Ethiopian health care system should strengthen one to five networks to discuss on family health issues. Further research, should validate the tools and measure the adequacy of the services in different contexts of Ethiopia using a mixed method study for an in-depth understanding of the problem
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Magnitude of Maternal Health Related Quality of Life and Associated Factors among Post-Partum Women in Jimma Town: A Community-Based Cross Sectional Study
Full text linkBackground: Postpartum period is the six-week period following childbirth during which the
woman's body returns almost to its pre-pregnancy state. Women’s health-related quality of life
during the postpartum period is affected by their living conditions, and they have little
information about the long-lasting physical and mental health problems that may result as a
consequence of pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the magnitude of maternal health related quality of life
and associated factors among postpartum women in Jimma town: A Community-based Cross
Sectional Study, south west Ethiopia 2022.
Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 383 postpartum women
who are living in Jimma town from May 15 to June 14, 2022. Quantitative data collection
method was employed. A systematic random sampling technique was used for quantitative data
collection. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the study variables. The bivariate analysis
was done to select candidate variables with P<0.25. Then multivariable logistic regression was
used to determine factor associated with P-value less than 0.05 with their respective AOR and
95% CI. Finally, a report was presented by the text, figures and tables.
Results: The finding showed that 51.2% of postpartum women had lower level health-related
quality of life with the confidence interval of 47.32 to 56.81. The study showed that age group
26-35, ≥ 36 years, lower education of partner’s, multiparous women, unplanned pregnancy,
births gave at home, gave dead birth, and women didn’t have a hospital admission after
pregnancy were found to be more likely to have lower health related quality of life.
Conclusions: The finding showed that almost half (51.2%) of postpartum women had a lower
level of health-related quality of life. So, the concerned bodies need to give special attention to
women’s during the postpartum period to prevent lower quality of lif
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Maternal Outcome of Operative Vaginal Delivery and associated factors in Nekemte Town Health facilities, East Wollega, Ethiopia.
Full text linkBackground: Operative vaginal delivery (OVD) refers to a vaginal birth in which the operator
uses forceps, a vacuum, or other devices to extract the fetus from the vagina, with or without
assistance of maternal pushing. Every day in 2017, approximately 810 women died from
preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth Skilled care before, during and after
childbirth can save the lives of women and newborns. In country like Ethiopia, there is
insufficient evidence which shows on the maternal outcome of OVD and associated factors.
Hence this study is aimed to determine maternal outcome of OVD and associated factors among
mother who gave birth in Nekemte town health facilities, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region,
Ethiopia.
OBJECTIVE: The main aim of the study is to determine maternal outcome of operative vaginal
delivery and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in Nekemte town health facilities,
East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in Nekemte health facilities and
cross-sectional study design was employed. All mothers who had operative vaginal deliveries
were included in the study by Consecutive sampling technique until we get 406 mothers. All data
was entered into Epi Data manager Version 4.1, and exported to Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS) Version 26 software and further analysis was performed. Descriptive statistics
was used to determine the frequency of dependent and independent variables. Bivariate and multi
variable Logistic regression was used to examine the association between dependent and
independent variables and variables whose p-value is <0.25 on bivariate analysis was assumed as
candidate variable for multiple logistic regression. Finally variables with p<0.05, was fitted in
the final model as factors affecting Maternal outcome of OVD. The study was conducted from
November 10, 2021-December 25, 2021 and twenty one thousand and nine hundred fifty four
Ethiopian Birr will be required to accomplish this study.
Result: Sociodemographic and Economic Characteristics

In the present study 406 mothers was participated making a response rate of 100%. Majority of
the respondents (273, 67.2%) was from outside Nekemte town and the rest 133(32.8%) was
Nekemte town residents. Majority of the respondents was housewife (353, 86.9%) by their
occupation and married by their marital status (396, 97.5%). Respondents mean age was
24.3±3.3 and their average income was 3473.7±1271.01.
Conclusion and discussion: In the current study, the magnitude of unfavorable maternal
outcome among mothers who attended operative vaginal delivery was high. High fetal head
station during delivery and having a neonatal birth weight of > 4kg was significant predictors of
unfavorable maternal outcome and the finding of this study was recommended to nekemte town
health facilities to arrange training for performance improvement to reduce death as a result of
