However, it is frequently ignored by parents, teachers, and primary care providers as a significant problem, resulting in suffering in children, lost school days and impaired social interactions. It is essential for clinicians to have a thorough and systematic approach to the evaluation and management of headaches in this population as the proper diagnosis and management can lead to improved outcomes and quality of life

Utilization of Screening Service on Cervical Cancer and Associated Factors among Female Health Professionals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(Addis Ababa University, 2023-07) Achamyelew Melaku; Shiferaw Negash
Cervical cancer is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer. It is preventable and curable, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Yet it is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide and second in Ethiopia, with the disease claiming the lives of more than 340 000 women in 2020. Its incidence and burden are high in developing regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization plans to increase vaccination, screening, and treatment of cases to 90%, 70%, and 90%, respectively, in developing countries by 2030. Early screening for cervical cancer is a key intervention in reduction of maternal deaths. Health care workers have a significant contribution to improve cervical cancer screening practice among women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess magnitude of utilization of cervical cancer screening and associated factors among female healthcare providers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Protocol Based Breaking Bad News: Awarness and Practice among Resident Physicians Working in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, College of Health Science, Addis Ababa University
(Addis Ababa University, 2023-08-19) Amir Nuri; Abdu Mengesha
Effective communication is at ‘the heart of the art of medicine, and it is recognized that in developing countries, with inefficient health care systems, the emphasis to foster better communication is lacking. Skillful delivery of bad news can provide comfort for the patient and family. There is a widespread problem with physicians’ and students’ skills and knowledge on standardized ways of Breaking Bad News (BBN). Improvements are needed on knowledge, attitude, skill and practice of protocol-based BBN such as the Setting, Perception, Innovation, Knowledge, Emotion, Summary and strategy (SPIKES) protocol. Data regarding practicing such protocols is little in Ethiopia and in developing countries as a whole. This study will determine resident physician’s awareness and practice of protocol-based BBN in the different specialty fields of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), and serve as an evidence-based input to improve medical curriculum design
