Background: Validated instruments to assess breastfeeding knowledge and attitude are non-existent in Africa including Ethiopia. We aimed to adapt and validate the Breastfeeding Knowledge Questionnaire (BFKQ) and the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) for use in Afan Oromo (AO), the most widely spoken language in Ethiopia. Methods: After forward-backward translation into Afan Oromo, the instruments were reviewed for content validity by a panel of a nutritionist and pediatricians, and pretested on a sample of 30 mothers. Then, a cross-sectional study involving 468 pregnant women in their second and third trimester was conducted between May and August 2017 in the Manna district, Southwest Ethiopia, using the final versions of the adapted questionnaires. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine the predictive validity and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients to assess internal consistency. Results: Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), nine domains containing 34 items were extracted from the BFKQAO. A confirmatory factor analysis of the constructs from EFA confirmed construct validity of the instrument (χ2/ df = 2.11, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.845, TLI = 0.823). In factor analysis of the IIFAS, the first factor explained 19.7% of the total variance and the factor loadings and scree plot test suggested unidimensionality of the tool. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.79 for the BFKQ-AO and 0.72 for IIFAS-AO suggesting an acceptable internal consistency of both instruments. For the sensitivity and specificity in predicting intention of breastfeeding for ≥24 months, the area under the curve (AUC) was 82% for IIFAS score and 79% for BFKQ score. Conclusions: Here we present the first study that reported the use of the BFKQ and the IIFAS in Ethiopia. Our results showed that both BFKQ-AO and IIFAS-AO can be reliable and valid tools for measuring maternal breastfeeding knowledge and attitude in the study population, showing the potential for adapting these tools for application in a wider Ethiopian context.

Objective To compare health outcomes following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for asymptomatic HIV-infected pregnant women at different CD4 levels. Methods We analyzed data from 706 asymptomatic HIV-infected Ethiopian women initiating ART during pregnancy between February 2012 and October 2016. The outcomes evaluated were CD4 gain, CD4 normalization (CD4 count ≥750 cells/mm3) and occurrence of HIV-related clinical events after twelve months of treatment. Result On average, CD4 count (cells/mm3) increased from 391 (95% CI: 372–409) at baseline to 523 (95% CI: 495–551) after twelve months of treatment. Rate of CD4 gain was higher among women with baseline CD4 between 350 and 499 compared to CD4 ≥500 (207 versus 6, p < 0.001). But women with baseline CD4 between 350 and 499 could not catch up with women with CD4 ≥500. Women with baseline CD4 ≥500 had significantly higher likelihood of achieving CD4 normalization as compared to those with CD4 between 350 and 499 (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13–0.76). No strong evidence of differential risk in the occurrence of HIV-related clinical events. Conclusion Starting ART for asymptomatic HIV-infected women with CD4 count ≥500 cells/mm3 was beneficial to preserve or recover immunity after 12 months of treatment in a resource limited setting.

Despite recognition that immigrant women face significant health challenges, addressing the healthcare needs of immigrants is a source of debate in the United States. Lack of adequate healthcare for immigrants is recognized as a social justice issue, and other countries have incorporated immigrants into their healthcare services. Oslo, the fastest growing capital in Europe, is rapidly shifting to a heterogeneous society prompting organizational action and change. The New Families Program serves first‐time mothers and their infants in an Oslo district serving 53% minorities from 142 countries. Anchored in salutogenic theory, the program aims to support the parent–child relationship, children's development and social adaptation, and to prevent stress‐related outcomes. Formative research has informed the successful program development and implementation within the existing maternal and child healthcare service. Implications for addressing maternal and child health needs of an immigrant population are presented.

In 50-79-year-olds who participated in the Tromso Study (1994-1995), the risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures during 15 years follow-up increased by 22% in men and 9% in women per 1 SD lower grip strength. The strongest association was observed in men aged 50-64 years. INTRODUCTION: We aimed to explore whether low grip strength was associated with increased risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture in the population-based Tromso Study 1994-1995. METHODS: Grip strength (bar) was measured by a Martin Vigorimeter and fractures were retrieved from the X-ray archives at the University Hospital of North Norway between 1994 and 2010. At baseline, weight and height were measured, whereas information on the other covariates were obtained through self-reported questionnaires. Cox regression was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of fracture in age- and gender-specific quintiles of grip-strength, and per 1 SD lower grip strength. Similar analyses were done solely for hip fractures. Adjustments were made for age, height, body mass index (BMI), marital status, education, smoking, physical activity, use of alcohol, self-perceived health, and self-reported diseases. RESULTS: In 2891 men and 4002 women aged 50-79 years, 1099 non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures-including 393 hip fractures-were sustained during the median 15 years follow-up. Risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture increased with declining grip strength: hazard ratios per SD decline was 1.22 (95% CI 1.05-1.43) in men and 1.09 (95% CI 1.01-1.18) in women. HR for fracture in lower vs. upper quintile was 1.58 (95% CI 1.02-2.45) in men and 1.28 (95% CI 1.03-1.59) in women. The association was most pronounced in men aged 50-64 years with HR = 3.39 (95% CI 1.76-6.53) in the lower compared to the upper quintile. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture increased with declining grip-strength in both genders, particularly in men aged 50-64 years

Objective The objective of the study was to compare pregnancy outcomes according to maternal antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens. Design A retrospective cohort study. Participants and settings Clinical data was extracted from ART exposed pregnancies of HIV-infected Ethiopian women attending antenatal care follow-up in public health facilities in Addis Ababa between February 2010 and October 2016. Outcomes The primary outcomes evaluated were preterm birth, low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age. results A total 1663 of pregnancies exposed to ART were included in the analyses. Of these pregnancies, 17% resulted in a preterm birth, 19% in low birth weight and 32% in a small-for-gestational-age baby. Compared with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiated during pregnancy, zidovudine monotherapy was less likely to result in preterm birth (adjusted OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.64) and low birth weight (adjusted OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.94). We observed no differential risk of preterm birth, low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age, when comparing women who initiated HAART during pregnancy to women who initiated HAART before conception. The risk for preterm birth was higher in pregnancies exposed to nevirapine-based HAART (adjusted OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.96) compared with pregnancies exposed to efavirenzbased HAART. Comparing nevirapine-based HAART with efavirenz-based HAART indicated no strong evidence of increased risk of low birth weight or small-for-gestationalage. Conclusions We observed a higher risk of preterm birth among women who initiated HAART during pregnancy compared with zidovudine monotherapy. Pregnancies exposed to nevirapine-based HAART also had a greater risk of preterm births compared with efavirenz-based HAART.

Hip fractures are associated with high excess mortality. Education is an important determinant of health, but little is known about educational inequalities in post-hip fracture mortality. Our objective was to investigate educational inequalities in post-hip fracture mortality and to examine whether comorbidity or family composition could explain any association. We conducted a register-based population study of Norwegians aged 50 years and older from 2002 to 2010. We measured total mortality according to educational attainment in 56,269 hip fracture patients (NORHip) and in the general Norwegian population. Both absolute and relative educational inequalities in mortality in people with and without hip fracture were compared. There was an educational gradient in post-hip fracture mortality in both sexes. Compared with those with primary education only, the age-adjusted relative risk (RR) of mortality in hip fracture patients with tertiary education was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-0.87) in men and 0.79 (95% CI 0.75-0.84) in women. Additional adjustments for Charlson comorbidity index, marital status, and number of children did not materially change the estimates. Regardless of educational attainment, the 1-year age-adjusted mortality was three- to fivefold higher in hip fracture patients compared with peers in the general population without fracture. The absolute differences in 1-year mortality according to educational attainment were considerably larger in hip fracture patients than in the population without hip fracture. Absolute educational inequalities in mortality were higher after hip fracture compared with the general population without hip fracture and were not mediated by comorbidity or family composition. Investigation of other possible mediating factors might help to identify new targets for interventions, based on lower educational attainment, to reduce post-hip fracture mortality.

The objective of this study was to examine women’s perceptions after participation in a motivational and gender-sensitive program (VINN) and to explore what was experienced as helpful. The qualitative data consisted of reports and transcriptions from 13 group interviews with 65 participants on probation or imprisoned in Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Estonia and Norway. The data were analysed according to systematic text condensation. The participants’ perceptions could be grouped into the following clusters: confidence and trust, deeper understanding, change and future hopes. The women appreciated the collaborative atmosphere focusing on quality of life, autonomy, strengths, coping and resources. The most beneficial experiences reported, regardless of country, were that their personal repertoires of actions were expanded during their participation, and their confidence in their ability to desist from crime and substance abuse in the future increased. The results support the program’s salutogenic approach combined with motivational interviewing as a bridge to change. Future research should investigate whether the participants report sustainability of the changes.

Description of the problem: Stovner district has 30 100 inhabitants, 49% minorities from 137 countries, is located in Oslo, Norway. All pregnant mothers and children are offered free health care services and reaches 96% of the eligible population. Public health nurse (PHNs) offer services for mother and child, including health check-ups and vaccinations. “New mothers” is an early intervention public health project, aimed at improving parent and child relationship, child development, children's social adaptation, school readiness, and possibly reduce costly secondary and tertiary preventive measures. Each new mother is invited to have a “family” PHN that visit her during pregnancy and follow her until the child is two years. This is a new way of working for the PHNs and the challenges are to document the strategies used and knowledge adopted by the PHNs during this experience. Results: Through monthly reflection papers guided by semi-structured questions, the PHNs are encouraged to critically reflect on their choices and strategies. The cases and reflections are openly discussed each month in a group with the PHNs, the project coordinator and the evaluator. This is to capture and discuss the methods, experience and knowledge used. This facilitates peer learning between the PHNs, as well as offering a coherent method for the data collection for the evaluation, and future scale-up and training. Lessons: PHNs experience the process of writing reflection papers as an opportunity to critical reflects on own practice. Group discussions opens for peer learning and increases ability to reflect on own practice. Use of Critical reflection in public health nursing care in a multi ethic population facilitates project evaluation and identifies core competencies required for scale-up and training. Main message: Critical reflection is a useful method to capture praxis, advance practitioner’s knowledge, evaluate impact of change in practice, and capture knowledge adopted during service development.

In Norway few municipalities initiate research. According to policy they have an accomplice liability, but no responsibility in financing or conducting research. Thus a limited amount of research is implemented on the municipality’s premises. How can an academic community partnership between the City Health Department and the University in Oslo facilitate and increase the participation of practitioners in all aspects of the research process? The Municipality of Oslo and the University of Oslo signed partnership intent to encourage cooperation in research, education, personnel and service development and innovation. Needs assessment exploring the priority areas for collaboration and strengthening was undertaken. Ongoing and potential research projects and collaborative efforts were identified. A total of 12 cooperative research projects, all with a health perspective, have been initiated. Of these 6 are linked to PhD projects. The largest public health project, “New mothers”, is anchored in the municipality health service, based on the needs and challenges of the maternal and child population. Initially as pilot in one of the districts in Oslo, it is now supported by the city council and anchored in the administration. Employing community based participatory methods including all stakeholders in the district; the mothers, the Medical chief, the Mother and Child Health Care Service; we were able to design, implement and demonstrate the prospects of the project. Policy guides intent but not responsibility for conducting research at municipal levels in Norway. Academic community partnership facilitates community anchored research projects. Community based participatory methods facilitate design, implementation, support and success of research projects. Academic community partnership increases success of policy anchored public health research in the municipality enhancing efficacy and quality of health services.
