Objective: This study aimed to investigate patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours and their determinant factors at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialised Hospital (DTCSH) in Debre Tabor city, Ethiopia.
Design: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 474 patients admitted to the inpatient ward.
Setting: The study was conducted at DTCSH in Debre Tabor city.
Participants: Patients were admitted to the inpatient ward at DTCSH.
Intervention: No intervention was needed in this study.
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours. The OR with a 95% CI and a p value of <0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.
Results: Overall, 37.4% of patients had poor perceptions of nurse caring behaviours. Waiting day in the ward (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.3; 95% CI (1.6 to 6.4) and (3.4; 95% CI (2.1 to 10.7)), residence (AOR=2; 95% CI (1.3 to 4.4)), education level (AOR=1.2; 95% CI (1.12 to 3.42)), and spent time with nurses (AOR=1.7; 95% CI (1.38 to 5.31)) were identified as determinants of patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours.
Conclusion: The proportions of patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours were poor. Waiting time in the wards, being an urban resident, educational level and time spent with nurses were identified as determinant factors of poor perceptions of patients on nurse caring behaviours. Therefore, hospital management, nursing directors and nursing staff should collaborate to foster better interactions between patients and nurses.

Background: The inflammatory and hormonal aspects of T2DM can influence the development or worsening of depressive symptoms. While most of the burden had due consideration, the mental health impact of T2DM such as depression is often unnoticed, undiagnosed, or untreated. Despite some studies exploring depression in Ethiopian T2DM patients, none have investigated the predictive role of the Systemic Immune inflammation Index (SII) in depression.

Background: Evidence shows that earlier access to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) helps to increase the survival of children by delaying the progression to advanced stages of HIV-related diseases. However, the effect of testing and treatment strategies on mortality among children receiving ART has remained a limited study in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the incidence of mortality and its predictors among HIV-infected children receiving ART in Amhara Region Specialized Hospitals, after the test and treat strategy.

Background: Newborns often lose 7-10% of their birth weight during the first week of life; however, term babies typically regain this weight in 7-10 days, whereas preterm babies typically do so in 10-15 days. Regaining birth weight is an essential developmental milestone and significantly influences their overall health outcomes. Research from the past has concentrated more on the degree of birth weight growth than its causes.

Background: Climate change is making the existing health problems worse and also introducing new health problem and therefore calls for a wider evaluation of climate sensitive global diseases. The review sought to assess and collate quantitative and qualitative evidence on the effects of climate change on global health, more specifically, infectious and respiratory diseases, the impacts of extreme weather events as well as the implications for mental health with the view of establishing appropriate sustainable and resilience public health measures and policies.
Methodology: A scoping review of observational studies carried out between the years 2000 and 2024, synthesized information on climate-sensitive health outcomes: infectious diseases, severe weather events, and mental illnesses.
