“…Mothers from rural area were almost two times more likely to be satisfied with intrapartum care compared to mothers from the urban residence. This finding was consistent with previous studies conducted in the Bench-Maji zone [ 34 ] and Addis Ababa [ 47 ]. However, it is contrary to the study done in Gondar [ 27 ].…”

“…This discrepancy might be due to the difference in time of the study conducted, level of health facilities and sociodemographic characteristics of participants; media exposure, and clients’ expectation about availability and quality of services at the health facilities. The odds of maternal satisfaction with delivery services were lower among women who reside in rural area and had no formal education [ 28 , 34 ]. On the other hand, it was lower than studies conducted in Mid-Western Nepal (89.88%) [ 38 ], Iraq (40.3%) [ 39 ], Saudi Arabia (89.5%) [ 40 ], Mozambique (92.5%) [ 4 ], Kenya (54.5%) [ 41 ], and Ethiopia (47.6% - 88%) [ 33 – 35 , 42 – 46 ].…”

Background Maternal satisfaction is an essential indicator of the quality and the efficiency of the health care systems. At a time when efforts are being made globally to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, assessing maternal satisfaction is essential. There is a dearth of studies on maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care, particularly in the study area. This study aimed to assess maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care and associated factors among postpartum women at public hospitals of North Shoa Zone Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study with a systematic random sampling technique was conducted from May1-30/ 2020. Data were entered into EpiData version 4.6 and analyzed using a statistical package for the social sciences version 25. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression were employed. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, level of statistical significance was declared at variables with p < 0.05 and the strength of the association was measured by an adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Result Of the total 394 participants, 111 (28.2%) [95% CI: 23.9, 32.5] of postpartum women were satisfied with the intrapartum care. Place of residence [AOR: 1.934; 95% CI (1.183, 3.162)], planned status of the pregnancy [AOR: 2.245; 95% CI, (1.212, 4.158)], number of antenatal care visit [AOR: 2.389; 95% (1.437, 3.974)] and duration of labour [AOR: 2.463; 95% (1.378, 4.402)] were factors significantly associated with maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care. Conclusion The proportion of maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care was low. Therefore, designing strategies to enhance maternal satisfaction by strengthening adherence to antenatal care visits, provision of family planning to prevent unplanned pregnancy, and strict utilization of partograph to prevent prolonged labour and childbirth-related complications are crucial.

“… 26 , 35 The outcome variable’s overall value was dichotomized as acceptable and unacceptable based on the threshold, which was determined using the demarcation threshold formula: (total highest score – total lowest score)/2) + total lowest score. 36 , 37 Accordingly, those who scored 78 and above were considered the HSR as “acceptable” otherwise “unacceptable”. Likewise, each domain was also determined by the demarcation threshold formula as to the main outcome variable.…”

Purpose Health System Responsiveness is the key objective of the health system used to fulfil patients’ universal legitimate expectations. However, the health system’s responsiveness to HIV/AIDS was not assessed in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the health system responsiveness of HIV/AIDS treatment and care services and associated factors in the public health facilities of Shewarobit town, Ethiopia. Patients and Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed from 15 February to 15 April 2020 in the public health facilities of Shewarobit town. The data were collected among 416 randomly selected Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) users using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Responsiveness was measured using 27 Likert scale questions across seven responsiveness domains. A binary logistic regression model was fitted. A p-value of less than 0.05 and AOR with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to declare the associated factors in the final multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results The overall health system responsiveness was 55.3% (95% CI: 50.6–59.8). High performance of responsiveness was found on confidentiality, respect, and communication domains, whereas poor responsiveness was achieved in prompt attention and choice domains. Participants aged 50+ years (AOR:2.48, 95% CI, 1.12–5.54), perceived good health (AOR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.75–5.48), patients’ satisfaction with care (AOR: 2.98, 95% CI: 1.35–6.54) and history of visiting traditional healers (AOR: 2.50, 95% CI:1.51–4.17) were factors associated with health system responsiveness of HIV/AIDS treatment and care services in the study area. Conclusions Unacceptable responsive performance was found in choice and prompt attention domains. Participants’ age, perceived health status, history of visiting traditional healers, and patient satisfaction were factors that affect responsiveness in the study area. Thus, providing training, frequent supportive supervision, improving community awareness, and incorporating traditional healers in the modern health system would enhance the health system responsiveness in Ethiopia.

ObjectiveData and information are vital to the decision-making process surrounding health sector reform. In spite of the vast amounts of capital invested in the development of health information systems, health professionals continue to fight with a lack of basic data management skills in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess health data management practices and associated factors among health professionals in public facilities in the Oromia Special Zone, northeast Ethiopia.MethodA facility-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 442 health professionals working in Oromia Special Zone from 8 March 2023 to 28 March 2023. Data were entered into Epi-Data V.4.6, and then it was exported to SPSS V.26 statistical software for processing and analysis. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed to see the association between health data management practice and selected independent variables. The bi-variable logistic regression analysis model was used to identify candidate variables for multivariable regression, with a p value <0.2 fitted into the multivariable logistic regression analysis model; a p value less than 0.05 and an adjusted OR (AOR) with a 95% CI were used to declare statistical significance associated with the dependent variable.ResultsThe prevalence of good health data management practices among health professionals was found to be 51.1%, with a 95% CI (45.9 to 55.7). In this study, received training on health data management (AOR=1.82, 95% CI (1.06 to 3.13)), used appropriate technology (AOR=1.78, 95% CI (1.09 to 2.91)) and competency (AOR=6.62, 95% CI (4.06 to 10.80)) were positively associated with health data management practice among health professionals.Conclusion and recommendationsNearly half of health professionals had poor health data management practices. The Zonal Health Department should plan capacity-building training for healthcare professionals, so as to improve their competency. All healthcare facilities should have appropriate and functional health data management technology.
