Prevalence and factors associated with domestic violence against married women in Mana District, Jimma zone, Southwest Ethiopia: A community-Based Cross-Sectional study
No full textBackground: There is a dearth of research done about domestic abuse against married women residing in this study setting. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of domestic violence and its associated factors among married reproductive-aged women in Yebu town, Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia from March 1 to 31, 2021 GC. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted to select 360 study participants from March 1–31, 2021. Systematic random sampling technique was used. Married women were interviewed using pretested, structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires that were adapted from W.H.O multi-country. Before entry, data was checked for completeness and amended on unclean data, then entered to Epidata 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 23 for further analysis. Adjusted Odds Ratio at a 95% confidence interval was computed, and variables having a P-value less than 0.05 were declared statistically significant associations. Results: A total of 121 (33.5 %) study participants reported having been the victim of domestic violence. The most frequently reported types of domestic violence were psychological violence 128 (46 %), followed by physical violence 85 (31 %).Variables such as being having polygamous marriage (AOR = 3.67 (1.33–10.16),monthly income 1000–3000 ETB (AOR = 0.15 (95 % CI = 0.07–0.31), household monthly income > 3000ETB (AOR = 0.25(0.12–0.51), khat chewing by husband (AOR = 9.89(95 %CI = 5.09–19.22) were significantly associated with domestic violence. Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that high prevalence of domestic abuse in this study area. Awareness creation for couples about risks of polygamous marriages, discouraging khat chewing, and financial advising are very mandatory to mitigate the occurrence of domestic violence

No full textEndalew Hailu Negessa,1 Susan Anand Joseph,1 Kebenesa Angasu Kitaba,2 Melkamu Gelan Negesa2 1Department of Nursing, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia; 2Department of Midwifery, Jimma University, Jimma, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Kebenesa Angasu Kitaba, Jimma University Main Campus, PO Box: 378, Tel +251919841766, Email [email protected]: Domestic violence (DV) is a pervasive human-right violation and is an impediment to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Although they may not often disclose their violence, survivors of DV are most likely to be treated by health care providers. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of training intervention in improving the readiness of health care providers for managing domestic violence in Jimma Medical Center.Methods: Pre-experimental study design was undertaken among 64 health care providers of Jimma Medical Center on two rounds from March 16 to 19 and from May 18 to 21/2022. Data were collected by using a structured self-administered questionnaire and entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. To test the difference in the participants’ readiness to manage DV in terms of knowledge and attitude; a Paired-samples t-test analysis was done at 95%-confidence-interval and p-value < 0.05. To quantify the magnitude of the intervention’s effect, Eta-squared was computed as an effect size statistic.Results: The overall knowledge score was improved from pre-intervention (M= 12.44, SD=4.55) to post-intervention (M=15.66, SD= 5.48, t(4.29), p< 0.0005). The overall attitude score was improved from pre-intervention (M= 156.4, SD= 15.68) to post-intervention (M=169.1, SD=20.67, t(3.8), p< 0.0005). The Eta-squared value for the knowledge was 0.23 and for the attitude was 0.19 both indicating a large effect size.Conclusion: Significant improvement in the study participants’ readiness for managing DV was a result in this study with a large effect size. Thus, different concerned stakeholders should provide training intervention for health care providers of Jimma Medical center to improve their readiness to manage survivors of domestic violence thereby contributing to the reduction of the negative consequences that can be resulted from poor management of domestic violence.Keywords: domestic violence, Jimma Medical Center, pre-experimental stud
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Factors associated with friendly care and its comparison among mothers who get and did not get the care provider of their choice at Jimma medical center, Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia
No full textBackground: Friendly care during labor and delivery is considered part of companionate maternal care throughout the perinatal period. It is vital to understand that women deserve friendly care to improve maternal use of health care facilities and the quality of care in general. This study aimed to assess the level of friendly care during labor and delivery and identify possible significant factors associated with it as well as make a comparison in receiving friendly care between mothers cared for by the provider they want and those who did not get the provider they wanted. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 mothers at the postnatal units of Jimma medical center. The sample size was determined using a single population proportion formula and a systematic random sampling technique was applied to select study participants. Data were collected using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire prepared in local languages. Data were entered into Epi Data version 4.2 and the analysis was conducted using statistical packages for social sciences version 23. The level of significance was determined with a p-value of <0.05 in the final multivariable logistic regression model. The results are presented in the tables, charts, and narratives. Result: The study had a response rate of 100%. The analysis indicated that 314 (90.23%) participants had received friendly care. There was a significant difference in friendly care between mothers who received the provider they wanted and those who did not (Z = −5.78; p < 0.001). The type of delivery (p < 0.001), longer stay in the facility after delivery (p = 0.005) and presence of any complication in the last delivery (p = 0.009) were factors significantly associated with friendly care. Conclusion: There was relatively good friendly care in Jimma medical center. It is recommended that mothers receive care from the provider of their choice to make the care friendlier. It is also revealed that it is necessary to consider the type of delivery, avoid unnecessary mothers’ stay of after delivery, and prevent and manage the complications of childbirth early to help mothers get care that is friendly
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
