“…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]. However, a study from Pakistan had a contrasting finding [32] where secondary data analysis found that employed women had a lower odds of completion in the CoC as compared with unemployed women.…”

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

“…These variables may be associated with greater access to and acceptability of modern contraceptives. Besides, previous research in Burkina Faso showed that greater socioeconomic position contribute to participation in household decisions which may include modern contraceptive use [42]. In fact, we found that household wealth, urban residency, and women's education were signi cantly and positively associated with opposition to domestic violence, in uence on household decisions, and freedom in seeking healthcare (Data not shown).…”

“…Its effect on the dynamics of normative values, including gender-related values such as support for wife-beating, is changing over time (Norris and Inglehart 2002). The study found that in 2013, Protestant women were less likely than Catholic women to support wife-battery-a finding that has been observed elsewhere (for example in Burkina Faso: see Pambe et al 2014). The liberal gospel and doctrines professed by Protestants may explain this association.…”

This paper examines the patterns and trends in attitudes towards wife-beating among women in Nigeria and their determinants. Using the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey datasets, a multivariate logistic regression was fitted to assess the relationships between sociocultural factors and a woman's attitude towards being beaten by her spouse. The results indicate a significant change over time in the percentage of Nigerian women supporting or accepting the notion that a man is justified in beating or hitting his wife. The findings show that during interviews in 2003, 2008, and 2013, 62.4, 45.7, and 37.1% of women, respectively, believed that wife-beating was justified for at least one of the reasons given. Education, place of residence, wealth index, ethnic affiliation, religious affiliation, women's autonomy in household decision-making, and frequency of listening to the radio were significantly related to acceptance of wife-beating over the years. The study underscores the importance of these factors to the development of policies addressing gender-based violence and urges special attention and intervention to mitigate the effect of the cultural practices that underlie domestic violence against women in Nigeria.
