Utilization of institutional delivery service and associated factors among mothers in North West Ethiopian

Abstract

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess institutional delivery and its associated factors in Benishangul-Gumez region, North-West of Ethiopia. The data were obtained at community level in a single survey within 1 month and there is no continuation of this study or previously published part elsewhere.ResultsAmong the 428 eligible respondents recruited for this study, 427 of them responded completely to the interview, giving a response rate of 99.8%. Of the total (427) respondents, 51.1% women delivered the recent child at health facility in the 12 months preceding the survey. Among the common reasons for home delivery were, labour was urgent (25.8%), home birth was usual habit for them (23.9%) and distance to health center was too far. Age (AOR = 3.4, 95% CI 1.46, 7.97), husband occupation (AOR = 5.16, 95% CI 1.74, 15.31), frequency of antenatal care visit (AOR = 3.34, 95% CI 1.88, 5.94) and maternal knowledge on danger signs of pregnancy and delivery (AOR = 7.18, 95% CI 3.77, 13.66) were significantly associated factors with institutional delivery. Although, the prevalence of institutional delivery has improved when compared to previous reports, strategic modification is important to increase health facility delivery.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-018-3295-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Institutional Delivery Service Utilization And Associated Factors In Ethiopia: A Systematic Review And Meta Analysis

“…Finally, 43 studies were screened for full-text review and 24 were included to the prevalence and/ or associated factors analysis ( Figure 2). Seven (7) Studies were found in Amhara region [22,23] [ [24][25][26][27][28], Nine (9) in Oromia [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], two in Afar [38,39], one in Bienishangul-Gumuz [40] ,three(3) in Southern Nation Nationalities and Peoples region (SNNPR) [41][42][43],one in Gambiela [44] and one in Tigray&Oromiya [45].…”

“…The pooled effect of four studies [27,28,33,41] showed that women who had their first pregnancy between the age of 15-24 years were 3.60 times as likely to give birth in health institution than those who became pregnant after 35 years of age (AOR= 3.59; 95% CI 2. 27 5.69 ).…”

“…The pooled estimated findings of seven [26,28,29,34,35,41,43] review showed that place of residence as defined rural and urban were the enabling factors that determined utilization of institutional delivery service. Women from urban area were 3.84 times as likely to deliver in health institution than women from rural area (AOR= 3.84; 95%CI 1.…”

“…The combined effect of four study [29,35,41,42] shows that attending ANC follow up four or more was significantly associated with institutional delivery service utilization. Women who attended ANC four or more times were 4 times as likely to give birth in health institution than those women who attended ANC service below four or less than four times (AOR= (Figure 20).…”
