“…Women who were employed were having a higher odd of completion in the CoCas compared with those who were not employed. This finding is in line with prior studies conducted in Ethiopia [22] and Egypt [37]. The possible reason might be due to the fact that employed women would have a control to their economy and therefore be more likely autonomous to decide on their own health care as compared with those who were unemployed [21,30,48,49].…”

Even though a disproportion in the level of completion exists among countries, the general figure implies a significantly low devotion of women in completing the…”

Level of completion along continuum of care for maternal and newborn health services and factors associated with it among women in Arba Minch Zuria woreda, Gamo zone, Southern Ethiopia: A community based cross-sectional study

Background Completion along continuum of care for maternal and newborn health (MNH) services like antenatal care, skilled birth attendance and postnatal care services is advantageous over each segment of services. It is one of the currently recommended strategies to reduce both maternal and neonatal mortality and achieve the global target of ending preventable maternal and under-five children's mortality. Although studies on factors affecting each segment of MNH services have been well documented in Ethiopia, there is a dearth of evidence about the level of continuum of care and factors associated with it. This study was intended to fill this gap in evidence in the study area so that interventions could be taken to improve maternal and newborn health. Methods A community-basedcross-sectional study was conducted among 432 postnatal women who gave birth in the previous year in Arba Minch Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) site. Women were selected by computer generated random numbers from a list of women who stayed at least 6 weeks after birth. A pre-tested, structured, and intervieweradministered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were entered and coded in Epi-data and analyzed using SPSS software version 23. Binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with the dependent variable. Bivariate and

“…However, this finding is lower than the result of studies done in Nepal, in which 41% of the women received ANC, SBA, and PNC during their most recent birth [ 30 ]. Additionally, our finding is much lower than those of studies conducted at Sohag governorate, Egypt, in which 50.4% of the women had achieved continuum of care measured (ANC+4 visit, delivered by a skilled birth attendant and had PNC) [ 31 ], and a study conducted in Cambodia, 60% of women had the full range of services for the continuum of maternal and newborn health care [ 32 ]. The possible reason for this discrepancy might be the difference in sample size and socio-cultural variations.…”

Background. The maternity continuum of care is the continuity of maternal healthcare services that a woman uses, which includes antenatal care (ANC 4+), skill birth attendant (SBA), and postnatal care (PNC) within 48 hours of delivery. It is one of the essential strategies for reducing maternal and newborn mortality. This study aimed to assess the factors associated with the completion of a continuum of maternal healthcare services among mothers who gave birth in the past five years. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 01 to June 29, 2019, among 565 randomly selected mothers who gave birth in five years before the study in primary healthcare project implementation districts of north Gondar zone, Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed, and in the multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and a p value of less than 0.05 were used to identify the associated factors with completion of the continuum of maternal healthcare services. Results. The study revealed that the overall completion of the continuum of maternal healthcare services was 21.60% (95% CI: 18.20, 24.90). Women who were able to read and write (AOR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.22, 6.04), using car/motorcycle as a means of transportation to get the health facility (AOR: 5.59, 95% CI: 2.29, 9.50), travel time less than an hour to get the health facility (AOR: 4.98, 95% CI: 2.97, 8.38), being satisfied with the service delivery (AOR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.15, 3.11), and getting health education on maternal healthcare services in the last 6 months (AOR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.52, 5.05) were factors associated with the completion of the continuum of maternal healthcare services. Conclusions. The completion of the continuum of maternal healthcare services was relatively low, indicating that women were not getting the likely health benefit from the present health services. Therefore, interventions should focus on increasing women’s awareness, improving the availability of services at nearby health facilities, and improving service delivery by considering women’s preferences and needs to increase their satisfaction are essential to increase the completion of maternal healthcare services.

“…This finding is supported by studies conducted in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa as women with educational status of secondary and above six times complete maternity continuum of care as PLOS ONE PLOS ONE compared to those who have no formal education [10]. Similarly, there are different studies which show increasing educational status of the woman positively associated with completion of maternity continuum of care [6,24,25,[27][28][29][30][31][32]. The possible explanation could be women who have no education cannot understand the formal communication with the health care providers at the time of ANC either for birth preparedness or complication readiness.…”

Completion of maternity continuum of care among women in the post-partum period: Magnitude and associated factors in the northwest, Ethiopia

Background Maternity continuum of care is a model of integrated components of maternal health service from pregnancy to the post-partum period to improve maternal, neonatal and child health. In Ethiopia, the magnitude of antenatal care, skilled delivery, and post-natal care have shown improvement. However, there is limited evidence of the woman who attends continuing from antenatal care to post-partum care. Objective To assess completion of maternity continuum of care and its associated factors among women, in Motta town and Hulet Eji Enese district, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods A community based cross-sectional study with a stratified cluster sampling technique was conducted among 819 women 6week-6month post-partum period in Motta town and Hulet Eji Enese district. The data were collected from March 12, 2019 to April1, 2019 by face to face interviews, using a pretested structured questionnaire. Binary logistic regression (bivariable and multivariable) model was done. Adjusted odds ratio with respect to 95% confidence interval was employed in the strength and direction of the association between covariates and outcome variable. Besides, a P value<0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results A total of 819 women with100% response rate participated and Completion of maternity continuum of care was found to be 47% (43.2%-50.2%) in the study. Educational attainment of
