    (wolkite universty, 2023-09) ABENEZER BIRUK; ABUSHU BAHIRU; AREBU ABDA
    Background: Acute respiratory infection is among the leading causes of child morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia and throughout the world. The main aim of the this study will be to determine the prevalence and factors associated with pneumonia among children 2-59 months old in Buta jira Health center in pediatrics OPD. Objective: To assess the prevalence of pneumonia and associated factors among under five years age children in Butajira health center, Gurage zone, SNNPR, , Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study design will be conducted on participants and systematic random sampling technique will be applied to select participant. Data will be collected by interview method using structured questionnaire. The collected data will be check for completeness, code and enter into statically package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 27 for analysis .To control data quality data collectors and a supervisor will be trained for one days. All variables used in the bivariate analysis and variables with P-values less than 0.25 candidates for multivariate analysis to control confounding variable and to determine predictors of pneumonia. Crude odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio were computed with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value <0.05 was considered to declare statistically significant association. The questioner will be included potential risk factor for pneumonia which will be categorized into socio-demographic factory, child related factors and environmental factor. Our data will be described by using descriptive statistics. Result: The prevalence of pneumonia among under five children was 77%. Use of charcoal as a fuel source (P= 0.011, AOR=0.316 CI= (0.129, 0.771)), children who unvaccinated (P= 0.013, AOR= 0.206 (95% CI) = (0.059, 0.718)), Children who have diarrhea (P=0.012, AOR=0.365 CI= (0.166, 0.805)), child those start additional food at six month (P= 0.009, AOR= 0.181 CI= (0.05, 0.655,)),children those MUAC of between 12cm and 12.9cm P= 0.001, AOR= 0.188 CI= (0.0770, 0.459)), household that has no ventilation system (P= 0.009, AOR= 3.057 (95% CI) = (1.314, 7.111)), household that are near the factories (P= 0.027, AOR= 4.633(95% CI) = (1.192, 18.002)), children from unclean residence (P= 0.042, AOR=2.246CI= (0.903, 5.586)) and household that haven’t Refrigerator (P= 0.003, AOR= 0.289CI= (0.129, 0.648)) were the potential risk factor of under five pneumonia. Conclusion and Recommendation: This studies show that the prevalence of under five pneumonia was high. Therefore, by make intervention on potential determinates such as: by Ventilate and improved housing conditions, give health education on environmental and personal hygiene , promoting health education on the importance of immunization status, improve child nutritional status, and early control of diarrhea we can reduce under-five pneumonia.

    Background: Use of substance such as alcohol, chat leaves (Catha Edulis) and Tobacco has become one of the rising major public health and socioeconomic problems worldwide. Substance use, particularly in developing countries, has dramatically increased. This study will assess prevalence of substance use and associated factors among students of Wolkite University main campus enrolled students. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of substance use and the paradigm of its effects on current and future health among Wolkite university students. Methods and materials: Institutional based, quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted from April-June 2022 among Wolkite University undergraduate students. The sample size was calculated by using single population proportion formula and it was 370. Participants were selected using Simple random sampling technique and allocated proportionally to the colleges. Data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire with severity assessed by standardized fifth version of Diagnostic statistical manual of mental health criteria’s for substance use disorder. Potential independent predictive factors (individual factors, socio demographic and economic factors) were assessed. A logistic regression used to identify independent predictors of substance use. P value < 0.2 at 95% CI at bi-variable analysis were considered statistically significant candidates for multivariable analysis.Results: A total of 367 students were involved in this study, with a response rate of 99.4%. About 157 of the respondents had ever used substance in life, making the lifetime prevalence of substance 42.8% with 95% CI [37.9-48.5]. The life time prevalence of khat chewing, alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking were 30.2%, 28.6%, and 17.7% respectively. Sex [AOR=2.854 95% CI (1.029-7.916], age[AOR=3.611 95% CI (1.16-11.22)]., food arrangement[AOR=3.299 95% CI (1.114-9.76), amount of pocket money [AOR=4.124 95% CI (1.623-10.47)], fathers substance use status [AOR=4.226 95% CI (1.46-12.35)]. and friends substance use status [AOR=16.95 95% CI] were factors that were significantly associated with substance use. Conclusion- a significant number of students use substance in this study. Influence of family, peer as well as society as a whole plays a great role.

    (WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2021-07) AWOL JEMAL,
    Background: Metabolic syndrome (Mets) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors secondary to an inflammatory and insulin resistance state that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood. Cardiovascular diseases, malignant neoplasms and type tow diabetic mellitus were the most common causes of mortality and disability. However, there is limited studies on it despite an increasing Metabolic syndrome related morbidity and mortality. This study used the definition of Mets was according to (NECP/APT) III criteria. Objective: to assess the magnitude and factors associated with Mets among adult seeking care at Kibet primary hospital, Southern Ethiopia, April to May 2021. Method: An institution based cross sectional study was conducted on 351 participants using a systematic random sampling technique. The data was collected using structured questionnaire and biochemistry indices. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine an association between each independent and dependent variables. Odd ratio with their 95% confidence intervals was computed to ascertain the existence and strength of an association, and statistical significance was affirmed at a p value of < 0.05. Results: In this study, a total of 351 respondents were completed the interview successfully making the response rate of 97.2%. The observed magnitude of Mets was observed to be 18.5% according to (NCEPATP III). Individual with BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 (AOR=4.1; 95% CI=3.13-11.51), having a sedentary behavior ≥8 hours per day (AOR=3.76; 95% CI =1.38-10.25), serving vegetables or fruit ≥ 3 times per day (AOR=0.52; 95% CI=0.27-1.12), involving physical activity (AOR=0.41; 95% CI: 0.20- 0.80) and consuming alcohol 5–6 days per week (AOR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.11-7.55) were significantly associated with Mets.. Conclusion: Generally, a higher proportion of an adult population had experienced Mets in the study area. Individual with BMI ≥25 kg/m 2, having sedentary behavior ≥8 hours per day, consuming alcohol 5–6 days per week were associated factors of Mets. On the other hand, serving vegetables and fruit ≥ 3 times per day, and having physical activity were preventive factors of Mets. The stakeholders should give an emphasis for the prevention of the identified risk factors of Mets
