Background.Health care providers play a crucial role for realization of joint zoonotic diseases surveillance by human and animal health sectors, yet there is limited evidence. Hence, this study aimed to determine knowledge and practice gap of health care providers towards the approach for Rabies and Anthrax in Southwest Ethiopia.Methods.A cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 16, 2014, to January 14, 2015. Eligible health care providers were considered for the study. Data were entered in to Epi-data version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results.A total of 323 (92.02%) health care providers participated in the study. Three hundred sixteen (97.8%) of participants reported that both human and animal health sectors can work together for zoonotic diseases while 96.9% of them replied that both sectors can jointly conduct surveillance. One hundred seventeen (36.2%) of them reported that their respective sectors had conducted joint surveillance for zoonotic diseases. Their involvement was, however, limited to joint outbreak response.Conclusion.There is good opportunity in health care providers’ knowledge even though the practice was unacceptably low and did not address all surveillance components. Therefore, formal joint surveillance structure should be in place for optimal implementation of surveillance.

Purpose: Cryptococcal meningitis is one of the most common and lethal opportunistic infections among human immune virus infected clients/patients before initiation of antiretroviral therapy. It is majorly associated to morbidity and early mortality among human immunodeficiency virus infected patients in resource limited countries. The main objective of this study was to investigate the factors influencing clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis in adults among health care providers at two referral hospitals in Kisumu County, Kenya. Methodology: A cross-sectional study using quantitative approach was used targeting 119 health care providers. Collection of data was through pretested self- administered questionnaires to examine factors influencing clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis. Data obtained was analyzed using the statistical package for social science version 25. Descriptive analysis was done using frequencies, percentages and means. Inferential analysis was conducted using bivariate logistic regression to determine relationships among the variables, p-values of at or below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The major factor associated positively with clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis was the acknowledgement by the health care providers that the world health organization guidelines lead to a better patient outcome (97%, n=113) and inadequate supplies and resources to facilitate management (78%, n=90) was the major factor associated negatively. Health care providers with an experience of five years or less were 40% more likely to agree that the factors were influencing clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis in contrast to those with an experience of six years or more (OR: 0.6; 95%CI: 0.1 – 0.74; p=0.04). Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy:  The clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis in adults in the study area is majorly negatively influenced by inadequate supplies and resources to facilitate the process of management. The study recommends that the policy makers in the County government of Kisumu and the two hospital management teams need to scale up a timely and constant provision of adequate resources, facilities and supplies, which will promote effective clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis in the study area

Overnight, masks have become a symbol of social responsibility. Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that a person won’t get sick. Face masks are crucial for health care providers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill - ideally both the patient and caregiver should have a mask.

BACKGROUND Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are systems to store patient information like medical histories, test results, and medications electronically. It is becoming the main system with the vision of giving quality service by improving data handling and communication in healthcare setting. Even though EMR implementation in developing countries increasing exponentially, only few of them are successfully implemented. Among the many factors, «intention to use» EMRs by health care provider is crucial for successful implementation and adoption of EMRs. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess health care provider’s intention to use and its predictors towards Electronic Medical Record systems (EMRs) at three referral hospitals in north-west, Ethiopia, 2019. METHODS Institutional based cross-sectional quantitative study design was conducted from January to June, 2019. A total of 420 health care providers working at three referral hospitals in north-west Ethiopia were included. Data were analyzed using structural equation model (SEM)., Simple and multiple SEM were used to describe the study objectives and to assess the determinants of health care providers «intention to use» EMRs. Critical ratio and standardized coefficients were used to measure the association of dependent and independent variables, 95% confidence intervals and P-value were calculated to evaluate statistical significance. RESULTS The mean age of the study subjects were 32.4 years ±8.3 SD. Nearly two-third 293(69.8%) of the participants were Male. Among 420 health care providers, only 167 (39.8%) were scored above the mean of «intention to use» EMRs. Factors positively associated with «intention to use» EMRs were performance expectancy (β=0.39,p<0.001), effort expectancy (β=0.24,p<0.001),social influence (β=0.18,p<0.001),facilitating condition (β=0.23,p<0.001), and computer literacy (β=0.08,p<0.001). Among five influencing predictors, performance expectancy was highly associated with «intention to use» EMRs. The result of UTAUT2 model may be used to inform planning, decision-making, and evaluation of EMR implementations before actual utilization of EMRs. CONCLUSIONS Among 420 health care providers, 167 (39.8%) respondents were scored above the mean of intention use. Performance expectancy played a major role in determining health care providers’ intention to use EMRs.
