Colostomy care is important to improve the quality of life of the patient, yet information is scarce concerning knowledge, attitude, and role of nurses on colostomy care in Ethiopia generally and in Amhara region specifically. Objective: This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, perceived responsibility, and associated factors regarding colostomy care among nurses working in surgical units at Amhara region general and referral hospitals, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed method study was conducted from March 1 to 30, 2020 using a census method. The data were collected using semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire and in-depth interview. Analytic schemes including bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were computed considering P-value < 0.05 to identify statistically significant factors. Qualitative data were analyzed with thematic content analysis. Results: In the current study, the adequate knowledge of nurses was found to be 40.4% (95% CI: 35.4–45.8). Clinical experience, colostomy care guidelines, gave care for colostomy patient, ever received colostomy care training, and read professional literature regularly were significantly associated with adequate knowledge. Favorable attitude of nurses was found to be 49.6% (95% CI: 45– 54.5). Presence of colostomy care guidelines, gave care for colostomy patients, and adequate knowledge were significantly associated with favorable attitude. Nurses have a strong professional perception of caring for colostomy patients but lack of training, inadequate supplies, and lack of professional perquisite are barriers identified. Conclusion: In the present study, nearly half of nurses had only adequate knowledge and favorable attitude, but the majority of nurses perceived their responsibilities towards colostomy care. Therefore, taking part in care, developing guidelines, providing training and fulfilling nurses’ perquisite are needed to enhance the knowledge, attitude, and responsibility of nurses towards colostomy care.","PeriodicalId":42242,"journal":{"name":"Nursing-Research and Reviews","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85984888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though disparities in patient satisfaction, which is an interpersonal patient outcome with nursing care, have been reported between public and private hospitals, there has been little research on the study area. Objective: To compare the level of patients’ satisfaction towards nursing care services among adult inpatients at Jimma Medical Center, and Oda Hulle hospital Jimma, southwest Ethiopia 2021. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study design was used among 431 patients of Jimma medical center and Oda Hulle hospital from May 3 to July 3, 2021, using a systematic random sampling technique. The Newcastle scale of satisfaction was used to collect data, which was then entered into Epidata 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. We used descriptive and logistic regression analysis. Results: Patient satisfaction at public and private hospitals was reported 54.2% (95% CI: 52.9–59.3) and 57.1% (95% CI: 55.2–61.7), respectively. In public hospital, the patient satisfaction was affected by being in the age group of 41–50 years (P = 0.006, AOR = 3), duration of stay in the ward (P = 0.002, AOR = 0.42,), cleanliness of the ward (P = 0.018, AOR = 1.8,), and admission history (P = 0.049, AOR = 0.60,). In private hospital (Oda Hulle), the patient satisfaction was affected by history of admission (P = 0.035, OR = 0.456), ward space (p = 0.007, AOR = 2.8), the perceived capacity of nurses (P = 0.002, AOR = 5.8) to pharmacy services (P = 0.032, AOR = 2.3,). Conclusion: Relatively the patient satisfaction towards nursing care in public hospital was lower compared to the private hospital, though no statistical difference (p = 0.225) observed. Illness history, cleanliness of the ward, Nurses make adequate visits and get their support when needed, Adequacy of ward space, the perceived capacity of nurses, and Access to pharmacy services were positively associated with patient satisfaction. and commentaries on all aspects of nursing and patient care.

Women on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) continued to experience unintended pregnancies after using hormonal contraceptives provided by nurses in the family planning clinics. However, the unintended pregnancies could affect the sexual and reproductive health of women and decisions of nurses on contraceptive provision to women on ART. Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore challenges faced by nurses in the provision of hormonal contraceptives to women on ART in selected clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods: A qualitative approach using an explorative design was used in this study. Eight (8) participants were selected purposefully from five public family planning clinics in Lilongwe. They were interviewed individually using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using a content analysis guide. Results: Three themes emerged from the data and these were as follows: limited knowledge of nurses; inadequate resources and inadequate support. Results revealed that nurses had limited knowledge of contraceptives to provide to women on ART due to lack of ART content in the contraceptive training which they had. They also lacked clinical and human resources and adequate time to teach clients which affected provision of the right hormonal contraceptives to women on ART. Furthermore, they needed support in the form of supervision, reference materials and integration of ART and contraceptive provision services. Conclusion: The challenges that nurses faced had an influence on the provision of contraceptives to women on ART. The study recommends that nurses should be trained on the provision of contraceptives to women on ART and be provided with the required resources and support for proper care to be achieved. Furthermore, there is a need for clear guidelines on hormonal contraceptives that women on ART could get and the integration of ART and family planning services.
