Globally the magnitude of common mental disorder is estimated to be 29%. Among these 322 million is attributed to depression. Unipolar depressive disorders alone lead to 12.15% of years lived with disability, and rank as the third leading contributor to the global burden of diseases. The risk is higher among the poor, homeless, the unemployed, persons with low education, victims of violence, migrants and refugees, indigenous populations, children and adolescents, abused women and the neglected elderly. Objective: the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of common mental disorders and associated factors in Benchi-Maji zone, south west Ethiopia, 2017/2018. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Bench Maji Zone from February 1st, 2018 to May 1st, 2018. A total of 1026 respondents were employed using multi stage sampling technique. Data was collected using the pre designed tools like Oslo social support scale and self-reporting questionnaire version 20. Data was entered using Epi data version 3.1 and transferred to statistical package for social science version 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were employed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to assess degree of association between variables. P value of less than 0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Result: Among 1,026 respondents 193 (18.82%) of them full fill criteria of common mental disorder. Factors like: family history of mental illness [AOR= 0.58, 95% CI (0.35, 0.97)], current use of tobacco [AOR= 0.45, 95% CI (0.24, 0.84)] and social support [AOR= 2.75, 95% CI (1.35, 5.37)], were significantly associated with common mental disorder. Conclusion and recommendation: This study revealed that prevalence of common mental disorder found to be high when it is seen from Ethiopian context as developing nation. Family history of mental illness, social support, and current tobacco use are significantly associated with common mental disorder. And Benchi-Maji zone Health Beauro should give special consideration for individuals who has family history of mental illness during outreach activities. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.mtu.edu.et/xmlui/handle/123456789/79 PREVALENCE AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION AMONG ADULTS IN BENCH MAJI ZONE, SOUTHWEST ETHIOPIA 2016/17 SAYIH, ALEMAYEHU Introduction: Hepatitis B virus infection is one of the leading causes of liver diseases causing serious public health problem worldwide. About two billion people have been infected, more than 350 million are chronic carriers and 1.5 million deaths occur from Hepatitis B virus related liver diseases worldwide. Human immunodeficiency virus and Hepatitis B virus infections are epidemiologically interrelated, and co-infection can occur. Hepatitis B virus infection is highly endemic in sub-saharan Africa and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier rates range from 9.6% to 20.6%. Ethiopia is grouped among countries with highly endemic viral hepatitis regions and viral hepatitis is accounted for 12% of medical admission and 31 % of mortality in medical wards. The risk of transmission of Hepatitis B virus infection with in the community and health care settings depends on the prevalence of Hepatitis B virus within the general population. Objective: to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of Hepatitis B virus infection among adults in Bench Maji Zone, South West Ethiopia 2016/17 Methodology: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Bench Maji Zone, from November 1st, 2016 to January 30, 2016. A total of 612 individuals were included in the study from selected four woredas : from pastural woredas (Bero and Meinet Goldiya ), from nonpastural woredas (Mizan Aman and Shewa Bench ) selected by using multistage sampling technique. Structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data and possible risk factors for HBV infection among participants. Upon completion of the questionnaire, 5 ml of venous blood sample was aseptically collected by venin puncture and serum will be tested for HBsAg using a commercial test strip. Quality of data will be guaranteed by applying all quality control methods during laboratory work and pre test will be performed to standardize questionnaire. Data was entered using Epi info version 7 and transferred to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was employed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to assess degree of association between variables. P value of less than 0.05 will be considered as statistically significant.

MENBERU, MELAK; SAYIH, ALEMAYEHU; NIGUSIE, WONDWOSSEN Burnout was first introduced into the literature by Freudenberger in the early 1970s. The Burnout Syndrome has been defined as a response to the chronic work stress typically found in professionals working in care service organizations. Objective: To assess burnout syndrome and factors associated with the burnout syndrome among nurses in MTUTH, G/Tsadik Shao and Tepi Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia, 2017/18 Methodology: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted in Mizan-Tepi University teaching hospital, Gebretsadik Shawo General Hospital and Tepi primary hospital from February 1st, 2018 to April 1st, 2018. Total number of nurses who were available during data collection period were taken as a whole. Data was collected using the predesigned tools like Maslach’s Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, Oslo social support scale, Athens insomnia scale and self-reporting questionnaire version 20. Data were entered using Epi Data version 3.1 and transferred to statistical package for social science version 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was employed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to assess degree of association between variables. P value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: Around 23% of respondents were fullfilling criteria for burnout syndrome. Factors like perfectionism [AOR= 0.32, 95% CI (0.14, 0.73)], good interaction with co-workers [AOR= 0.34, 95% CI (0.16, 0.72)], and intending to leave working institution [AOR=2.18, (1.02, 4.65)], were significantly associated with burnout syndrome. Conclusion and recommendation: This study shows that from one-quarter of them fulfilling criteria for burnout syndrome and factors like; age, perfectionism, and intending to leave work were significantly associated with burnout syndrome.
