The idea of men’s involvement in reproductive health was first emerged at Cairo’s conference in 1994. Nevertheless, to implement this idea into practice several challenges have been faced. Even today, emphasis has not been given to the concept of men involvement in maternal health in most developing countries. Until recently, there is limited evidence of husbands’ involvement and its contribution for women’s use of skilled maternity care in Ethiopia, a country with low coverage of maternal health care but with high maternal and neonatal mortality. Therefore, there is a need to generate contextual evidence for policy formulation, designing and implementing programs that remove barriers and to promote husbands’ involvement in maternal health care.

It accounts for onethird of all newly diagnosed female cancers. Most women with breast cancer in Ethiopia are diagnosed with late-stage disease, do not receive high-quality care, and face a poor prognosis. Locally relevant information on the extent of delayed diagnosis, reasons for late diagnosis, care, and determinants of survival among women with breast cancer is essential to guide clinical practices and public health policy. However, little is known about the extent and reasons for patient interval (from date of symptom recognition to the first consultation of health care providers), diagnosis interval (from consultation to diagnosis), and treatment initiation interval (from diagnosis to treatment initiation). Moreover, evidence on the relationship between patient delay (> 90 days)/diagnosis delay (> 30 days) and stage at diagnosis, and its effect on survival among women with breast cancer in Ethiopia is limited.

Bipolar disorder leads to a significant impairment in functioning, considerable stigma and premature mortality. The social disruption caused by acute episodes related to the illness often persists beyond clinical remission. Various factors affect the outcome of bipolar disorder such as distressing life events, substance use, poor coping mechanisms, sleep disturbance and treatment nonadherence. Complementing pharmacotherapy with psychological interventions has been shown to be more effective in preventing or delaying relapse and improving the course and outcome of the disorder compared to pharmacotherapy alone. In LMICs, there is very limited evidence on the adaptation, effectiveness and implementation of such psychological interventions. Furthermore, there is limited understanding of the particular risk factors and coping mechanisms relevant to LMICs that may be addressed with psychological interventions Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://repository.iphce.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/4174 2021-10-01T00:00:00Z
