Background. A postnatal care given after childbirth is a critical care to promote health and to prevent complications of the mother and newborn. However, utilization of this service is low in Ethiopia, and little is known about its coverage and determinants. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of early postnatal-care service utilization and its associated factors among mothers in Hawassa Zuria district, Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 20 February to 20 March 2020 in Hawassa Zuria District among randomly selected 320 mothers. Data were collected by using interviewer-administered structured questionnaires. Data entered were into Epi data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Descriptive, bivariable, and multivariable logistic regression analysis with odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were conducted. A P value <0.05 was considered a statistically significant association. Finally, the results were presented by texts, tables, and figures. Result. The prevalence of early postnatal-care service utilization was 29.7% (95% CI = 24.7, 35.5). Age below 25 years [AOR = 3.2 (95% CI = 1.37, 7.48)], having planned and supported pregnancy for last birth [AOR = 2.2 (95% CI = 1.13, 4.38)], having information about obstetric danger signs [AOR = 2.1 (95% CI = 1.25, 3.78)], and having positive attitude on use postnatal services [AOR = 3.5 (95% CI = 1.94, 6.32)] were factors associated with early postnatal-care utilization. Conclusion. The finding revealed that early postnatal-care utilization in the study area was low. Strengthening family planning services, giving information on obstetrics danger signs, and creating awareness about postnatal care will improve uptake of the service in a timely manner.

Abstract Background: In Ethiopia, literatures are not in agreement on magnitude of utilization of postnatal care service and factors are not well identified. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to engender pooled evidence of magnitude of postnatal care service utilization and associated factors. Methods: For this systematic review and meta-analysis international databases such as, HINARI, PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Google scholar and Cochrane library were used for searching studies published from 2002 to 2018 in English language. The Modified Newcastle- Ottawa quality assessment scale was used to assess the quality of studies and meta-analysis was conducted using STATA version 14. Q statistics and I2 test were used to assess the heterogeneity. The random effect model was used to estimate the pooled utilization of postnatal care at 95%CI. Result: Total of 22 articles with total samples of 42,320 women were included to this review. The pooled prevalence of postnatal care service utilization in Ethiopia was 41.5% (95%CI: 28.51-54.52). Women who attended formal education (OR, 2.37, 95%CI: 1.13, 4.97), had middle level and above household’s wealth quintile (OR, 2.57, 95%CI: 1.31,5.05), had antenatal care visit (OR, 6.72, 95%CI: 4.16, 10.87), being multigravida (OR, 0.68, 95%CI: 0.53, 0.88) and gave birth in health institutions (OR, 3.86, 95%CI: 2.89, 5.16) were high likely to utilize postnatal care services while rural resident women (OR, 0.17, 95%CI: 0.05, 0.60) were less likely to utilize postnatal care services. Conclusion: Postnatal care service utilization in Ethiopia is low (41.5%). It is affected by educational status, residence, wealth quintile, gravidity, antenatal care follow up and place of delivery. Scale up the service and awareness for rural people, improving economic status of the household, improve antenatal care follow up, and promote institutional delivery are having paramount importance.
