    (WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2023-08) EKRAM SNDEW; NUJEBA MOHAMMED; TSEGA DATI
    Background: Anemia is a low number of red blood cells or a low hemoglobin or hematocrit in which the hemoglobin content of the red blood cells is lower than normal range as a result of deficiency of one or more essential nutrients or due to heavy blood loss, parasitic infections and congenital hemolytic diseases. Due to various factors, children under the age of five and pregnant women are more affected. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among under-five children in Worabe comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Silte Zone, southern Ethiopia. Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of anemia in under-five children attending in Worabe Compressive Specialized Hospital, Silte Zone, southern Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June and 200 participants were enrolled in the study. A convenient sampling method were used to recruit the study participant. Sociodemographic and clinical data was collected through structured questionnaires. Two milliliters of blood were collected from each study participants to determine the level of anemia.The data was presented using tables and figures. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the associated factors. P-values less than 0.05 was also used to declare stastiscal significance. Result: The overall prevalence of anemia among under five children was 38% (76/200). Where, 44.74% had mild anemia, 39.47% had moderate anemia and 15.79% had severe anemia. Children who had history of malaria, history of intestinal parasitic infection, being male and maternal education is below read and write were more likely to become anemic. Conclusion; In general, the magnitude of anemia in under five children in worabe comprehensive specialized hospital was 38% indicative of the fact that anemia is an important public health problem. Malaria infection, intestinal parasite infection, educational status of the mother and child breast feeding were factors associated with anemia in those under five children. Therefore, integrated public health interventions need to be prioritized to improve the health status of children to prevent anemia among under five children. Health professionals should incorporate anemia and its consequences in their day to day health education program for mothers who are pregnant and coming to the health center for care.

    ASSESSMENT OF MAGNITUDE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF NEONATAL SEPSIS AMONG NICU ADMISSIONS AT WUSH
    (WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2023-08) FETIYA MISGANO; KIRUBEL MIDEK.,; CHALA WAKTOLE.; AKILILE SOLOMON.,
    Background: Neonatal sepsis is a serious medical condition that can affect newborns, particularly in developing countries. It is caused by an infection in the blood and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Several factors can increase the risk of neonatal sepsis, including socio-demographic, maternal, neonatal, and medical factors. The clinical signs and symptoms of neonatal sepsis are often nonspecific, making diagnosis difficult and time consuming. As a result, healthcare providers must rely on a combination of risk factor assessment and diagnostic tests to accurately diagnose and treat neonatal sepsis Objective: - To assess prevalence and associated factors of neonatal sepsis among neonates admitted to NICU of WUSH from June 28 2022- June 28, 2023Methodology: A retrospective documentary review study will be conducted at an institution to evaluate prevalence and associated factors of neonatal sepsis among neonates admitted to the NICU of WUSH between June28 2022- June 28, 2023. The sample size will be determined using a single population proportion formula, and study subjects will be selected using a systematic random sampling method. Data collection tools will be adopted and will be used, and the data will be checked for completeness and clarity before being analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression will be employed, and the degree of association will be calculated using odds ratios with 95% CI. A p-value of less than 0.05 will be considered significant for associations between dependent and independent variables Result: The overall prevalence of NNS was 58.1% with MR of 6% from total admission (616) of neonates in the past one year, Being male neonate (AOR=5.5; 95% CI (1.8-16.5)), having history of PROM during the index pregnancy (AOR =6.3; 95% CI (2-19.9)), prolonged duration of labor (AOR=0.06; 95% CI (0.01-0.49)), lower APGAR score at birth (AOR=0.02; 95% CI (0.06-0.61)), more than three days of hospital stay (AOR=0.028; 95% CI (0.007-0.11)).Conclusion: The present study had identified many factors from those neonatal sex, mode of delivery, duration of labor, history of maternal PROM, neonatal comorbidities ,APGAR score, and duration of hospital stay, place of delivery were identified as having strong association for NNS, So measures that reduce preventable causes of above factor need to be taken as to reduce the occurrence of sepsis.

Data was collected by face to face interview using structured questionnaire. Data was check for completeness and consistency, and then coded. The coded data was entered into SPSS software program for analysis. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression was used. Ethical clearance was obtained from wolkite health center. The study was conducted in May, 2022.Result: the prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempt was found to be 21.7%and 9.6% respectively.
