“…A similar study in Tamale Teaching Hospital in the Northern Region of Ghana found BP/CR levels of 43.7%, while a mixed health facility and community-based study among teenage mothers in the Ledzorkuku Krowor Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region reported 40.0% to be more birthprepared [16,23]. Equally low rates have been reported in other countries with 20% BP/ CR in a health facility-based study in Tharaka Nithi County in Kenya, 41.1% in Mizan-Tepi University Hospital in Southwest Ethiopia and 47.8% in a slumbased study with a functional maternal and child health program in Indore in India [24][25][26]. Discrepancies between our findings and these studies could be explained by socioeconomic factors.…”

“…Employed women are generally known to have more autonomy to make decisions concerning their health, thereby preventing delays in seeking healthcare [36][37][38]. In contrast, studies in South West Ethiopia and northern Ghana found no association between occupation and BP/CR [15,39] . This could be attributed to the fact that most women in the Kassena Nankana District of Ghana were housewives and the Ethiopian government's free provision of ambulance and other maternal and child health services [15,39].…”

Background High maternal mortality ratios remain a critical public health concern in Ghana. Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR), which is a component of focused antenatal care, is a safe motherhood strategy intended to promote skilled birth attendance by helping women and their families plan for pregnancy and childbirth, thereby reducing maternal mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the level of BP/CR and to assess factors associated with maternal BP/CR in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Method A cross sectional descriptive quantitative study was carried out among 300 postnatal women attending the Adabraka Polyclinic and the Greater Accra Regional Hospital both within Accra, the capital city of Ghana. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire which assessed socio-demographic, health facility/provider and social support factors and their associations with BP/CR. Levels of BP/CR were assessed using validated tools. Data from 300 women were analyzed using STATA version 15.0. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to establish associations between BP/CR and socio-demographic, health facility/provider and social support factors. Results Approximately 234 (78%) of the women were birth prepared. Strong predictors of BP/CR included having ≥4 antenatal clinic visits (aOR 2.63; 95% CI 1.03–6.73), being employed (aOR 4.07; 95% CI 1.49–11.11) and belonging to maternal health promoting clubs or groups during the antenatal period (aOR 3.00; 95% CI 1.07–8.40) . Conclusion BP/CR is generally high among the study population. Predictors of BP/CR are multifactorial and found to cut across all aspects assessed in the study. Therefore, the creation of a BP/CR tool is recommended to routinely monitor trends in maternal birth preparedness in antenatal clinics. This may help to sustain and improve current levels and indicators of BP/CR.

BackgroundMen’s involvement in obstetrics care is an important strategy in reducing preventable maternal morbidity and mortality. This is particularly important in developing countries where men often make decision on financial, health and other family issues. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess men’s knowledge and involvement in obstetric danger signs; birth preparedness and complication readiness in Burayu town administration, Oromia, Ethiopia.MethodsA community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Burayu town administration, Oromia Region from May 2016 to July 2016. Multistage with systematic random sampling techniques were employed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using SPSS version 20. P-value less than 0.05 were taken as a cutoff point to declare significant association.ResultA total of 523 men were involved in the study. The mean and ± SD age of the study participant was 36.6 ± 7 years. Majority of the participants were Orthodox religion followers and, employees of private organization, regarding residency majority were residing in urban setting.Pregnancy related vaginal bleeding was the most familiar danger sign recognized by the study participants which was 342(65.4%).From the total, 441(84.3%) of men were highly involved in preparation of arranging for postpartum cultural food expenses, 345(66.0%) for clean clothes both for the baby and mother; and 71–76% participants were involved in availing transport money for antenatal, delivery and postnatal care. The study revealed that educational status of men, monthly income, knowledge of pregnancy danger sign, delivery and post-delivery care, and knowledge of birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) were significantly associated with men’s involvement in BP/CR.ConclusionMajority of participants had knowledge on obstetric danger sign. Men showed low interest to donate blood to their wives during antenatal, delivery and postpartum care. There is a need continued awareness creation on danger sings as well as birth preparedness.

“…In Ethiopia, the majority of pregnant women and families do not know how to recognize the dangerous signs of complications. This was exposed families to waste a great deal of time in recognizing the problem, getting organized, getting money, finding transport, and reaching to an appropriate referral facility after a complication occurs [6].…”

A large number of mothers die from pregnancy complications and childbirth worldwide and Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia accounts for the third. Although several studies were done on birth preparedness and complication readiness in different parts, there is limited information in the current study setting. Hence, the aim of the current study was to assess birth preparedness and complication readiness practices and determinants among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Sibu Sire District, East Wollega Zone, Ethiopia. Accordingly, a facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 398 women attending ANC. Data were collected through an interviewer applied structured questionnaire. Data were entered into EPI-INFO version 7 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. After the descriptive statistics, bivariate and multiple variable regression were carried out using the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval at p<0.05. The response rate was 100% and the magnitude of BPCR among pregnant women in the study setting was 30.2%. Educated elementary, achieved secondary and above, history of live-birth, history of stillbirth, ANC four & above visits, knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy, awareness of BPCR, and knowledge of birth preparedness were significantly associated with
