“…As identified by previous research, mental disorders, substance misuse, younger age, being unmarried, and obstetric and neonatal complications were factors leading to self-harm among postnatal mothers (18)(19)(20). In addition, lack of social support, lack of emotional support, and intimate partner violence were the other identified factors (5,21).…”

“…Self-harm is one of the most common reasons for hospital visits. It is a reflection of distress rather than a diagnosis in itself and is currently increasing among women of reproductive age, particularly during the perinatal period (4,5). This problem is more common in women than men, which is one of the current global health challenges across the world (6).…”

BackgroundSelf-harm is a preventable, but a leading, cause of maternal morbidity and mortality all over the world, with a significant impact on healthcare systems.ObjectiveTo assess the magnitude of self-harm and associated factors among postnatal mothers attending immunization clinics.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among postnatal mothers attending infant immunization clinics at public health facilities in Boneya Boshe Woreda, Western Ethiopia, 1 October to 30 October 2023. A pretested, face-to-face interviewer-administered structured questionnaire prepared by Kobo Toolbox was used to collect the data. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. The level of significance was declared at p-value <0.05 with a 95% CI.ResultsAmong the 423 mothers enrolled in the study, 415 of them finally participated, at a response rate of 98.10%. The magnitude of self-harm was 12.53% (95% CI: 9.33, 15.73). Involvement of husband in maternity and child healthcare (AOR = 1.90; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.10), depression (AOR = 2.79; 95% CI: 2.14, 6.94), loneliness (AOR = 2.49; 95% CI: 1.15, 5.40), postpartum intimate partner violence (AOR = 2.15; 95% CI: 1.01, 4.54), average monthly income (AOR = 3.70; 95% CI: 2.17, 10.50), and postnatal care (AOR = 2.72; 95% CI: 1.28, 5.80) were significantly associated factors.Conclusion and recommendationsThe study sought a magnitude of self-harm that was slightly higher than the previous study conducted in the northern part of Ethiopia. Therefore, healthcare providers should focus on identified factors during postnatal care to overcome them. Similarly, the concerned body should develop an effective strategy based on the identified factors to pay attention to postnatal mothers.
