There are about 272 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ethiopia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a surgical complication defined as any nausea, and vomiting with in the first 24-48 hours after surgery in inpatients. Nausea is an unpleasant feeling or desire to vomit without expulsive muscular movement, while vomiting is a forceful expulsion or reflux of the gastric contents through the mouth. Postoperative nausea and vomiting is one of the most common complication associated anesthesia and surgery. It is considered the most common cause of morbidity, and it has significant effects on patient satisfaction. In spite of recent development of anesthesia and surgical techniques, the incidence of PONV remains high. This common anesthetic and surgical side effect has been reported to increase patient dissatisfaction and can be just as distressing to patients as postoperative pain is.
Misconceptions about anesthesia and anesthetists in the health professional community may limit anesthetists' participation in their roles. These misconceptions affect the morals of anesthetists since their activity will be limited only to operation theater and the community at large, who did not get the desired care. Improving health professionals' awareness of anesthesia will make it easier for anesthetists to practice their full role and to develop a sense of validation by having their importance acknowledged. Moreover, society will gate the care offered by the anesthetist in different places of medical care.
The operating room (OR) is a demanding and time-constrained setting, in comparison to primary care settings, where perioperative medication administration is more complicated and there is a high risk that the patient will experience a medication error. Without consulting the pharmacist or seeking assistance from other staff members, anesthesia clinicians prepare, deliver, and monitor strong anesthetic drugs.
Mother's Time is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tool designed to support postpartum women experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of stress, depression or anxiety. The intervention is designed for use by Ethiopian community health workers (CHWs) and includes CBT exercises and discussion on topics relating to family planning, such as planning for the future, speaking to the husband, and considering potential side effects. The primary objective of this research is to test the efficacy of Mother's Time, on mild to moderate symptoms of postpartum stress, anxiety, and depression as well as associated behavioral and social barriers to postpartum family planning, specifically among women under 25 who have given birth within the last year.
Acas series study was conducted on emergency acute abdomen patients who finally confirmed intraoperatively as Meckel's diverticulum with different complications. Simple perforation to isolated axial torsioned gangrene was observed. The patients signed consent for their cases to be published.
The goals of this study are to design, implement, and evaluate the effects of a nurse-led intervention on the frailty and quality of life of older persons living in the community in Ethiopia. The main hypothesis aims to test the following: 1. Effects of a nurse-led intervention on frailty, including physical, social, and psychological domains of older persons living in the community in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. 2. Effects of a nurse-led intervention improve the quality of life among the older persons living in the community of Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The nurse-led intervention consists of six independent interconnected education sessions focused on specific topic areas consisting of ageing and age-related changes, healthy nutrition, physical activity, mental health, social interaction, and support, and lastly an overall discussion on the intervention. The intervention is delivered one-on-one and face-to-face to the family homes of older people living in the community by specialist nurses who are community health workers (CHWs). Each CHW will be provided with a notebook to record the progress of each participant undertaking the program and any questions that need to be followed up at a subsequent session.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the causes of anemia in women of reproductive age. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the causes of anemia among women of reproductive age? - What is the contribution of iron deficiency to overall anemia? - What is the prevalence of hemoglobinopathies among women of reproductive age with anemia? Participants will be asked to respond to the interview questions, and provide blood, urine, and stool samples.
This study aims to determine the etiology of anemia among preschool children in selected regions of Ethiopia. The study is a longitudinal observational study to assess the determinant factors of anemia in two different seasons. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the prevalence and etiology of anemia in the two different (Post and Pre-harvest) seasons? 2. What is the strength of the interaction between anemia and each of the determinant factors being considered? The participant's dietary intake and anthropometric measurement have been assessed, and biological samples (Blood and Stool) were collected to determine the prevalence of anemia and the factors contributing to it.
The study was a retrospective observational cohort where patient medical record review was done and data were gathered on 419 cases. The ICU admission pattern and patient outcome were the primary outcomes presented in the manuscript.
