BACKGROUNDAntenatal depression is the most common psychiatric disorder during pregnancy with serious consequences for the mother and the fetus. However, there are few studies about this health issue in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of antenatal depression and its associated risk factors among pregnant mothers attending antenatal care service at Jinka public health facilities, south Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia.METHODSInstitutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on 446 pregnant women at Jinka public health facilities, from June 1 to June 30, 2018. Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess women's level of depression. Statistical package for social science version 20.0 was used for analysis. Logistic regression was used to find out the association between explanatory and depression. The strength of association was evaluated using odds ratio at 95% confidence interval (CI).RESULTThe magnitude of antenatal depression in this study was 24.4% (20.2–28.5 at 95% CI) and it had statistically significant association with unmarried marital status a djusted o dds r atio (AOR) = 13.39 [(95% CI); (3.11–57.7)], chronic medical illness AOR = 3.97 [(95% CI); (1.07–14.7)], unplanned pregnancy AOR = 6.76 [(95% CI); (2.13–21.4)], history of abortion AOR = 2.8 [(95% CI); (1.14–7.02)], history of previous pregnancy complication AOR = 4.8 [(95% CI); (2.12–17.35)], and fear of pregnancy-related complications AOR = 5.4 [(95% CI); (2.32–12.4)].CONCLUSIONSNearly one pregnant woman develops antenatal depression in every four pregnant women. Variables like unmarried marital status, chronic medical illness and unplanned pregnancy, history of previous pregnancy complications, and fear of pregnancy-related complications were associated with antenatal depression. Therefore, it is recommended that these risks factors should be evaluated during antenatal care with a view to improving maternal health.

Abstract Background Antenatal depression is the most common psychiatric disorder during pregnancy and it’s associated with psychosocial and obstetric factors. Antenatal depression has serious consequences for the mother and fetus, such as recurrent spontaneous abortions, pregnancy induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia, postpartum bleeding, pre-term delivery, postnatal depressive disorders and low birth weight. However it doesn’t get appropriate attention.Methods Institutional based cross-sectional study design was conducted on 446 pregnant women coming for antenatal care service at Jinka public health facilities, from June 01 to June 30, 2018. Data was collected through semi-structured and pretested questionnaire by face to face interview technique and Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess women’s depression condition. Collected data was entered in to Epi data version 3.3.1 after checking their completeness and exported to statistical package for social science version 20.0 for analysis. Logistic regression was used to find out association between explanatory and response variables. Explanatory variables which fulfill the assumption of logistic regression and had P-value less than 0.25 from bi-variable logistic regression were considered for the multivariable logistic regression model. Strength of association was evaluated using odds ratio at 95% confidence interval and P-value < 0.05 was considered to declare significant associations.Result The magnitude of antenatal depression in this study was 24.4%(20.2-28.5 at 95% CI) and it had statistically significant association with unmarried marital status AOR =13.39 [(95%CI); (3.11-57.7)], chronic medical illness AOR=3.97 [(95%CI); (1.07-14.7)], unplanned pregnancy AOR =6.76 [ (95%CI); (2.13-21.4)], history of abortion AOR =2.8 [(95%CI); (1.14-7.02)], history of previous pregnancy complication AOR =4.8 [(95%CI); (2.12-17.35)] and fear of pregnancy related complications AOR=5.4 [(95%CI); (2.32-12.4)].Conclusion and recommendation The magnitude of antenatal depression was high. So integrating mental health service in antenatal care assessment, provide comprehensive family planning service and improve obstetric service are recommended.

Abstract Background: Many interventions have been implemented to increase institutional delivery in Ethiopia. However, only 26% of women delivered in health facilities. This increases the curiosity of the scientific community to know more about the quality of maternity care in the country. Objective: This study aimed to assess the proportion of respectful delivery care and associated factors among women delivering in Debre Berhan town public health facilities, Ethiopia, 2019.Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 412 women who delivered in Debre Berhan town public health facilities from November 15 to December 30, 2019. A consecutive sampling method was used to identify study participants. A pretested structured questionnaire was administered by the interviewer. Bivariable and multivariable logistic analyses were conducted. Adjusted Odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the magnitude and direction of the association. Statistically significant association was declared at a P-value of less than 0.05.Results: A total of 412 postnatal women were participated in this study, yielding a 99.8% response rate. About 35.7% (95% CI: 31%, 40.3%) women reported that they have received respectful delivery care. Daytime delivery [AOR=2.48; 95% CI (1.55, 3.99)], secondary school educational status and plus [AOR= 3.59; 95% CI (1.53, 8.42)], having a companion during delivery [AOR=2.45; 95% CI (1.47, 4.07)], and having four or more antenatal care visits [AOR= 2.54; 95% CI (1.60, 4.01)] were positively associated with respectful delivery care. Conclusions: The proportion of women reporting respectful delivery care was low. Women who had four or more ANC visits, who were secondary-level or higher educated, delivered during the daytime, and had a companion during delivery were more likely to receive respectful delivery care. Thus, allowing the mother to have a companion, improve ANC service utilization, and improving education accomplishment should be the focus area of intervention.
