Therefore, this survey aims to assess the prevalence of domestic violence and associated factors among antenatal attending women at Robe hospital, southeast Ethiopia, 2019. Method: An institutional based cross-sectional study design was conducted from April 25/2019 to May 20/2019 among 385 antenatal care-attending women at Robe hospital. Data was collected using face-to-face interview. Bivariate analysis was carried out to examine the associations between independent variable and domestic violence during pregnancy. Those variables with p-values of 0.05 or less were entered into multivariable logistic regression to manage confounding variables. Finally, adjusted odds ratio with 95% of confidence interval and significance p value<0.05 was used to examine the association between the independent and dependent variables. Result: Out of 385 study participants involved in the interview 375 completed the interview making the response rate as 97.4%. The overall prevalence of domestic violence in our study area is 24.5%. Partner alcohol intake, having unplanned pregnancy and having unwanted pregnancy are factors significantly associated with domestic violence among antenatal care attendants. Conclusion and recommendation: The prevalence of domestic violence among ANC attending women at Robe hospital is high. Having partner who takes alcohol, having unplanned pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy are the factors significantly associated with domestic violence during pregnancy among antenatal care attending women. In collaboration with stakeholders, the zonal health department has to mitigate domestic violence during pregnancy through educating women how to prevent unplanned and unwanted pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":92765,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in mother and child health","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69965781","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}

Placental hypoxia determines a vicious cycle comprising oxidative stress, vasoconstriction and impaired fetal oxygenation. Prophylactic heparin use throughout pregnancy has been recommended in some thrombophilia cases because it acts on the coagulation cascade. However, although heparin does not cross the placental barrier and is safe for the fetus, not all patients can use it. Its administration route (parenteral) is not practical and even its prophylactic use is not necessarily harmless, as seen in different thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal and cerebral bleeding reports. Thus, finding clinical alternatives for these pregnant women would help significantly improving the current medical practice. The use of essential fatty acids (EFAs) is a new perspective that appears to be applicable in daily medical practice, because it facilitates the blood flow and tissue oxygenation, since they reduce vascular resistance and platelet aggregation. Methods: This study is a randomized, controlled, unblind, parallel, three-arm, open-label prevention trial conducted with pregnant women diagnosed with thrombophilia, who were treated in the Obstetrics Services of University Hospitals belonging to UFJF and to Medical School of Barbacena. All the patients were divided in two groups: Group 1=Hereditary thrombophilia patients who used 40 mg of heparin/day (enoxaparin) from the 6th pregnancy week on; Group 2 Patients with acquired or hereditary thrombophilias associated with risk factors for preeclampsia, according to ACOG19 (chronic kidney disease, previous diabetes mellitus, chronic arterial hypertension and collagenoses). Results: The current study assessed 38 pregnant women. Patients’ mean age was 32.9 ± 5.0 years. The pulsatility index in the second gestational trimester (24 to 28 weeks) was compared based on treatments. Patients treated with the H+ASA+omega association recorded the lowest pulsatility index; however, there was not statistically significant difference between groups (p>0.05). Uterine artery resistance index in the second gestational trimester (24 to 28 weeks) was also compared based on treatments. Patients treated with the H+ASA+omega association recorded the best resistance index, however, there was not statistically significant difference between groups (p>0.05). The group treated only with heparin recorded the lowest fetal weight, although there was not statistically significant difference between groups. Conclusion: Our results are preliminary, and a crude evaluation of the data shows a decrease in the pulsatility and resistance indices of the uterine art. With the increase of patients in the analysis, we hope that the statistical results can demonstrate this improvement of placental flow.","PeriodicalId":92765,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in mother and child health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69965293","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}

Minidose Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) can help preventing/delaying preeclampsia development, as well as reducing its severity and the risk of complications. However, not all patients can use this medication; therefore, it is necessary finding clinical alternatives for pregnant women who do not tolerate ASA, as well as evaluating the possibility of increasing this prophylaxis with new drugsthe use of omega 3 is one of these alternatives. Thus, it is possible assuming that omega use by pregnant women could reduce the vascular resistance of uterine arteries and facilitate placentation. The aim of the current study is to evaluate uterine artery resistance and pulsatility indices, as well as bilateral notch in pregnant women presenting identifiable risk factor for PE development, who use omega 3 in association, or not, with ASA. Methodology: The current research is a randomized-controlled, non-blind, parallel, two-arm, open-label preventive clinical trial. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1âuse of ASA; and group 2-use of ASA+omega 3. Omegabased supplementations comprised doses of 400 mg/day in gelatin capsules, at DHA: EPA ratios 2.5:1 and 5.0:1. Results: Patientsâ mean age was 33.48+4.68 years. Mean pregnancies and childbirths were 1.93+1.30 and 0.59 ± 0.37, respectively. Results of uterine artery Doppler flowmetry were associated with omega and/or ASA use; patients who used ASA in association with omega (ASA+omega) recorded the highest uterine artery resistance and pulsatility indices â results were statistically significant. The comparison between ASA use in association, or not, with omega did not show difference in PE, prematurity, oligohydramnios, IUGR or hospitalization in neonatal ICU frequency. There were no cases of fetal death or Hellp Syndrome in either groups. Conclusion: The omega 3 use in association with ASA has increased the uterine artery resistance and pulsatility indices of the investigated patients; however, it did not make any difference in primary and secondary outcomes.","PeriodicalId":92765,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in mother and child health","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69965342","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}

It is very important to improve utilization of the service. Despite this importance, satisfaction still has been ignored by health care managers. Objective: The main aim of this study was to assess the level of client satisfaction with family planning service in public health centers and identify factors associated with client satisfaction in Kucha district, Gamo Gofa Zone, South Ethiopia. Methods: Facility based cross -sectional study was conducted from July 1-21, 2017 with 538 family planning service users. Respondents were selected by using systematic random sampling from four randomly selected rural health centers in the district. Data was collected by using pre-tested structured questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Four diploma nurses collected the data and two B.Sc nurses supervised the data collection process. Logistic regression analyses were conducted and statistically significant association was declared at P value <0.05. Result: About 68.4% of the clients were satisfied with the service they received. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that respondents with age 35 and above years [AOR (95% CI)=3.006 (1.308,6.911)], respondents who attended secondary cycle (5-8) [AOR (95% CI)=2.716 (1.377,7.817)], those for whom privacy was ensured [AOR (95% CI)=1.771 (0.738, 4.252 )], clients who received respect and friendly approach from other clinic staffs [AOR (95% CI)=6.871 (3.344,14.116)], those who reported convenient clinic opening hour [AOR (95% CI)=6.288 (2.865,13.801)] and those who got adequate information [AOR (95% CI)=5.043 (2.362,10.767)] shows significant association with the outcome variable. Conclusions and recommendations: In this study, client satisfaction is slightly high. Predictors of clients’ satisfaction with family planning service in this study were age, educational level, adequacy of information to clients, convenience of clinic opening hours, respect and friendly approaches from other clinical staffs and maintenance of privacy.
