Abstract

BackgroundStrengthening workforce management to address retention challenges is worldwide concern. Ethiopia did different human resource reforms to improve retention and performance of available health workforce to step up towards universal health coverage. However, there is limited and fragmented research on intention to leave their current facility and related factors on health workers. This review was done to assess pooled national prevalence of intention to leave their current health facility and related factors among Ethiopian health workers.MethodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines. Authors prepared a review protocol per Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) manual for evidence synthesis and got registered from PROSPERO for transparency. The authors conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Google Scholar and African Index Medicus databases and grey literature like WHO library from 8 June 2022 to 30 May 2023. Pooled prevalence of intention to leave current health facility and related factors was computed using MedCalk, Meta Essentials and R software. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test and a funnel plot.ResultsPooled prevalence of intention to leave among health workers in Ethiopian healthcare setting was found to be 63.52% (95% CI (58.606-67.904)) for random effects model at Q = 141.5689 (I2(inconsistency) = 90.82%, P < 0.0001). Only organizational justice OR = 0.29 (0.14-0.61) was found to be a significantly associated factor for health workers' intention to leave their current healthcare setting in Ethiopia.ConclusionMore than 6 in 10 of the health workers in Ethiopia were ready to leave their current healthcare facility. This result was higher than studies done in other parts of the world, even in African countries. The associated factor for health workers' intention to leave their current health facility was only organizational justice. So, health authorities should improve their organizational justice to retain their employees.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the development of TB among HIV-positive adults under treatment in government hospitals of Amhara Region, Ethiopia.Methods: A hospital-based retrospective study design was conducted among 700 HIV-positive adults under HAART in 17 government hospitals in the Amhara region, Ethiopia.Results: Age of the patients (AOR = 1.122, 95% CI:1.013, 2.234), baseline CD4 cell count (AOR = 0.888, 95% CI: 0.714, 0.945), patients living without their partner (AOR = 1.212, 95% CI: 1.051, 1.123), females under treatment (AOR = 0.786, 95% CI; 0.564, 0.845), non-opportunistic diseases (AOR = 0.865, 95% CI: 0.731, 0.938), patients not disclosed their HIV status (AOR = 1.241, 95% CI: 1.087, 2.341), rural patients (AOR = 1.135, 95% CI: 1.032, 1.453, patient with no education (AOR = 1.125, 95% CI: 1.056, 1.546), low adherence patients (AOR = 1.225, 95% CI: 1.191, 2.453), bedridden patients (AOR = 1.223, 95% CI: 1.131, 1.521), ambulatory patients (AOR = 1.156, 95% CI:1.091, 1.267), non-smoker patients (AOR = 0.854, 95% CI: 0.686, 0.935) significantly affected on the variable of interest. Similarly, alcohol intake, drug toxicity and baseline clinical WHO stages significantly affected for the development of tuberculosis in HIV-positive patients under treatment.Conclusion: In this study, baseline CD4 cell count, female patients, non-opportunistic diseases, and non-smoking status were negatively associated with the development of TB, whereas age of patients, living without partners, patients with no education, patients with low adherence, bedridden and ambulatory patients were positively associated to the development of TB in HIV patients. The findings obtained in this study are important for both service providers and patients. More attention should be given to those positively associated variables to response variables. The regional health bureau should open TB/HIV co-infection subsections like ART sections in each hospital.Keywords: TB development, HIV-positive people, HAART, binary logistic regression model
