In 2011, 287,000 women died during pregnancy or childbirth. Almost all these deaths occur in developing countries where mothers and children lack access to basic health care. Reports showed the low utilization of health facility for delivery service in Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the utilization and factors influencing institutional delivery. Community based cross sectional study was conducted from January to February 2013/14 in Boricha District of Southern Ethiopia among mothers who gave birth in the last 1 year. Multistage sampling techniques were used to collect data from 546 mothers. Taking in to account place of birth for the last child, only 4.9% women gave birth in a health facility. Women’s education level (AOR=4.4 (95% CI=1.36-14.33)), timing of firstANC visit (AOR= .03 (95% CI=0.004 - 0.205)), women’s advice to deliver in a health facility during ANC (AOR = 31.15 (95% CI=2.02-479.52)), women’s knowledge of birth related complications (AOR= 12.4 (95% CI=2.67-57.16)) and decision making power (AOR=0.2 (95% CI=0.060.82)) showed significant association with institutionional delivery. Institutional delivery in the study area was found to be very low. Raising awareness on institutional delivery to maximize delivery service utilization and strengthening provision of education and counseling to deliver in health facility during antenatal care visits at individual and community level should be given due emphasis.</p>

Background: The poor emphasis on the role of husbands in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) is a major factor that should be addressed in tackling maternal mortality.Aim: To assess the level of husbands’ participation in BPCR and associated factors.Setting: Wolaita Sodo town, Southern Ethiopia.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 608 husbands of pregnant women and nursing mothers. Multivariate logistic regression model was used for the analysis.Results: Forty-five per cent of husbands studied had poor participation in BPCR. Out of the total husbands studied, 40% (235) did not identify transportation, 49% (291) did not accompany their wives to antenatal care (ANC) clinic, 59% (350) did not identify skilled birth attendant, 26% (155) did not identify health facility for delivery and 30% (179) did not save money for emergency. Only 42% (250) of husbands had awareness of emergency conditions, while 75% (444) did not make postpartum plan. Husbands who knew the place of birth of the baby [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 7.23; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.98–17.54] and those who discussed with their wives about birth preparedness (AOR = 2.03; 95% CI: 1.37–3.02) were significantly more likely to participate in BPCR compared to those who did not.Conclusion: Participation of husbands in BPCR was poor in the study area. The level of participation in relation to selection of service provider and health facility, financial and transportation planning for delivery and identifying blood donor needs attention to achieve better husband participation in BPCR.

Background: Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) replaces the National Maternity Benefit Scheme. It was launched by the Government of India in April 2005. The aim was to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by increasing institutional delivery by providing cash incentive to the beneficiaries as well as the link worker ASHA. Objectives of this study was to assess receipt of Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) cash incentive and to assess fields of utilization of Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) cash incentive.Methods: A Community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 mothers delivered within last one year in urban slum of Raipur city. Study centre was department of community medicine, Pt. J.N.M. medical college Raipur, Chhattisgarh. A pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire was used to interview the study subjects.Results: Out of total 384 study subject’s cheque of JSY cash incentive was received by 70.83%. All (100%) beneficiaries who received cheque was stipulated amount as per JSY guideline. Reasons for not receiving cheque was no availability of BPL card for those who delivered in accredited private health facility. Other reasons were absconded after delivery, unaware of cash incentive, did not go back to get the cheque when called later, patient shifted to another ward. None of the study subjects who delivered at home received the cash incentive cheque. Realization of cheque was not done by 22.79% of study subjects due to complex procedure to open an account in bank. Cash incentive money was utilized in neonatal care, drugs, food, household activities and some deposited in bank.Conclusions: JSY scheme is definitely functioning well in terms of providing cash incentive cheque of JSY on delivery in Government Health facility. There is need to simplify the procedure to open an account so that beneficiaries can avail cash incentive money. There is need to address the problems to receive cheque in home delivery and accredited Private health facility in addition to motivation for institutional delivery.

Facility-based delivery service is recognized as intermediation to reduce complications during delivery. Current struggles to reduce maternal mortality in low-and-middle income countries, including Ethiopia, primarily focus on deploying skilled birth attendants and upgrading emergency obstetric care services. This study was designed to assess utilization of health facility–based delivery service and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the past 2 years in Gindhir District, Southeast Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted in Gindhir District from March 1 to 30, 2020, among 736 randomly selected mothers who gave birth in the past 2 years. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants and a pretested, structured questionnaire was used to collect data through face-to-face interviews. The collected data were managed and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Of the 736 mothers interviewed, 609 (82.7%), 95% CI: 80.1, 85.5%, of them used health facilities to give birth in the past 2 years for their last delivery. Mothers who lived in rural areas had 4 or more ANC visits, received 3 or more doses of the TT vaccine, and had good knowledge of maternal health services were found to have a statistically significant association with facility-based delivery service utilization. In Gindhir District, mothers have been using health facility–based delivery services at a high rate for the past 2 years. Higher ANC visits and TT vaccine doses, as well as knowledge of maternal health services and being a rural resident, were all linked to using health facility–based delivery services. As a result, unrestricted assistance must be provided to mothers who have had fewer ANC visits and have poor knowledge on maternal health services.

Abstract Background:-Globally at least 303,000 women died during pregnancy and childbirth and every day approximately 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Although institutional delivery has been promoted in Ethiopia, still delivery in a health facility is far lower than other neighboring countries. The aim of this study was to assess utilization of institutional delivery service and associated factors among women of childbearing age in Bule Hora town, West Guji zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia Methods: - Community-based cross-sectional study design with quantitative methods of data collection was employed from February 01 to March 30/2018. A total of 360 childbearing mothers in the Bule Hora town were involved in the study using a systematic sampling method. The instrument was pre-tested on 5% the sample at Gerba town. The data were analyzed by using binary and multivariable logistic regression and statistical associations were measured using odds ratio and 95%CI. Results: - The prevalence of utilization of institutional delivery services in Bule hora town is 72%. According to this finding age at first pregnancy (AOR: 2.08, 95%CI: 1.768-5.620), educational status of mothers who attended secondary school and above (AOR: 4.613, 95%CI: 1.096-11.912) and primary school attended mothers (AOR:3.18, 95%CI: 2.406-3.443), educational status of husbands who attended secondary school and above (AOR: 4.91, 95%CI: 10.792-30.441)and primary school attended (AOR: 2.13, 95%CI: 8.359-12.616), spousal communication about place of delivery (AOR: 4.27, 95%CI: 1.823-10.004), husbands occupations (AOR: 2.94, 95%CI: 2.734-5.137), current antenatal care (AOR: 46.74, 95%CI: 16.778-30.210), and parity three and less children (AOR: 6.97, 95%CI: 1.305-37.212 were had a strong statistical association with utilization of institutional delivery service. Conclusions: - The finding shows the utilization of institutional delivery service in Bule Hora town is higher than a national figure but lower than the national target of skilled delivery. Policymaker and health institutions should have to strength and create awareness of the community on the importance of institutional delivery and use of ANC service in order to screen and detect early signs of disease, followed by timely intervention.

Abstract Background: There is growing evidence that shows phenomena of disrespect and abuse (D&A) occurs globally even though the degree and severity is different across countries. The problem is getting attention in recent years especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. However, there is a paucity of studies assessing the magnitude of disrespect and abuse. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and associated factors of disrespectful and abusive care during childbirth in health facilities of Hawassa city, Southern Ethiopia.Methodology: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Hawassa city from February 8 - April 27, 2018. A total of 577 mothers from both public and private health facilities were randomly selected. Domains of D&A that were assessed were; physical abuse, verbal abuse, stigma and discrimination, failure to meet professional standards of care and poor rapport between women and providers. Multivariable binary logitmodel was used to examine the relationship between exposure and outcome variables. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) is used for summarizing the findings of the analysis.Result: The mean age of the respondents was 26.8 (SD± 4.4) years. Overall 46.9% [95% CI: (42.8-51)] reported experiencing three or more forms of disrespect and abusive care during childbirth in health facilities. In the logit model; the adjusted odds of D&A among births in public health facility is 12.9 times higher than birth those in private facilities [AOR=12.94 (95% CI: 5.87, 28.50)],mothers who had total delivery four and above had 4.7 times increased odds of encountering D&A [AOR=4.67 95% CI: 1.69, 12.89)].In contrast to mothers who had spontaneous vaginal delivery mothers who had instrumental delivery had 2.6 times increased chance of encountering D&A [AOR =2.63 (95% CI: 1.05, 6.59)].Conclusion: The prevalence of disrespect and abusive care in Hawassa health facilities during labor and delivery is high. Factors associated with D&A include the type of health facility, mode of delivery and parity. Therefore, national health strategies and policies should focus on combating D&A during maternal care. It is also recommended to give intensive training focusing on respectful maternity care especially in public hospitals by involving more female health care providers.
