Home-based optimal newborn care practice and associated factors among mothers in Ethiopia: a community-based longitudinal panel survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study was to determine the level of home-based optimal newborn care practice and associated factors among mothers in Ethiopia.

Design

A community-based longitudinal panel survey design.

Setting, participants and outcomes

We used data from the Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia panel survey (2019-2021). A total of 860 mothers of neonates were included in the analysis. A generalised estimating equation logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with home-based optimal newborn care practice and to account for the clustering nature of the data by enumeration area. An OR with 95% CI was used to measure the association between exposure and outcome variables.

Results

The level of home-based optimal newbor
