Person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors among mothers who gave birth at public health institutions of Debre Markos town, Northwest Ethiopia, 2022: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Person-centered maternity care is a crucial scheme for a positive childbirth experience. It enhances facility-based delivery, improves patient-provider communication, and increases women's satisfaction. However, there is limited evidence on the magnitude of person-centered care and certain variables were missed in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the magnitude of person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors at health institutions of Debre Markos town, Ethiopia.

Methods

Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public health institutions of Debre Markos town. Participants were enrolled using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face exit interviews, cleaned, coded, and entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 then exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. After generating simple linear regression analysis, variables with p-value ⩽ 0.25 were fitted into multivariable linear regression model and p-value < 0.05 was declared statistically significant with 95% CI for β. Finally, study findings were presented using texts, tables, and figures.

Results

In this study, 380 women participated, with a response rate of 98.19%. The respondent's mean person-centered maternity care score was 56.83 with 95% CI: (55.83, 57.83). Mean score for sub-scale was 15.08 for dignity and respect, 14.42 for communication and autonomy, and 27.33 for supportive care. Commencing antenatal care during third trimester (β = -4.86, 95% CI: -8.22, -1.49), caesarean delivery (β = -5.78, 95% CI: -7.68, -3.87), college and above educational level of women (β = 3.75, 95% CI: 1.11, 6.39), being multiparous (β = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.85, 5.55), and health center delivery (β = 6.59, 95% CI: 4.17, 9.02) were factors significantly associated with person-centered maternity care.

Conclusion

This study showed person-centered maternity care was low compared with World Health Organization standards. This informs local policymakers, district health offices, institutional healthcare administrators, and healthcare professionals of the discrepancies in achieving international standards of quality care.

Project description:BackgroundRespectful maternity care is care organized for and provided to all women in a manner that maintains their dignity, privacy, and confidentiality, ensures freedom from harm and mistreatment, and enables informed choice and continuous support during labor and childbirth. However, in many healthcare settings in Ethiopia, the standard practice of respectful obstetric care is not the norm, and a significant proportion of health professionals view patients merely as cases and do not show compassion.ObjectivesTo assess respectful maternity care and associated factors among mothers who gave birth at public health institutions in Debre Tabor town, Northwest Ethiopia from December 1, 2023, to January 30, 2024.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Three hundred seventy participants were selected for quantitative analysis using systematic random sampling, while eight were chosen for the qualitative study through purposive sampling. The quantitative data were coded and entered into Epi Data version 4.6, then exported to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 for analysis. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were computed to determine the significance level. Thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data.ResultsThe proportion of respectful maternity care was 34.1% (95%CI: 29.4, 39.2) cesarean delivery [AOR = 3.45, 95%CI: 1.60, 7.42]. Daytime delivery [AOR = 3.14, 95%CI: (1.59, 6.18)] and less than or equal to 1 day stay in a healthcare facility [AOR = 3.03, 95%CI: (1.51, 6.08)] were positively associated with respectful maternity care. Inadequate equipment and supplies, shortage of staffing, and lack of accountability were barriers to providing respectful maternity care.ConclusionsThe proportion of respectful maternity care was low. Therefore, health institutions and other stakeholders should support and strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for maternal and neonatal healthcare providers and enhance education and constant support for women during their pregnancy and childbirth. Additionally, adequate access to basic equipment and supplies should be given due attention to ensure respectful maternity care.

Project description:Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Health professionals are at the frontline of COVID-19 pandemic exposure and are identified as a priority target group that needs to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Data on Ethiopian healthcare workers' use of the COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors, however, are scarce. Using a simple random sampling method, 398 health professionals were recruited through an institutional-based cross-sectional study design. Health professionals working in Debre Markos town public health facilities filled out a self-administered questionnaire that had been pretested to obtain the data. Then, the data were entered into Epi data version 4.2; and analyzed by SPSS 25. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed after model assumptions were checked. The adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was calculated and statistical significance was declared at P-value < 0.05 after model adequacy was checked using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among health professionals was 61.56% (95% CI: 56.67%, 66.23%). Factors associated with the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine were age > = 35 years (AOR: 4.39, 95% CI: 1.89, 10.19), having a higher income (>9056 Birr) (AOR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.03, 3.10), who practiced COVID-19 Prevention methods (AOR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.51, 3.77), Adulthood previous other immunization histories (AOR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.15, 2.56) and having a chronic disease (AOR:1.90,95% CI: 1.07, 3.74). This study revealed that the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine was low. Age > = 35 years, having a higher income, who practiced COVID-19 prevention methods, having adulthood previous immunization histories, and having chronic disease were statistically significantly identified factors for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Therefore, policymakers and health managers should think about the requirement of immunization of healthcare workers and develop plans for administering the COVID-19 vaccine.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Intimate partner violence is a thoughtful public health concern and human rights violation towards pregnant women for it has a significant negative health effect on the life of both the mother and her fetus. However, there is a scanty of information about the extent of intimate partner violence during pregnancy in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Therefore, the current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence among pregnant women attending antenatal care and identify associated factors that cause it. METHODS:An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted on 409 pregnant women who were attending antenatal care service in Debre Markos town from March 17, 2018 -April 28, 2018. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression models were done. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to identify factors associated with intimate partner violence during pregnancy. RESULTS:The prevalence of intimate partner violence during current pregnancy was found to be 41.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 36.0-46.0). Of this, the prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual violence was 29.1%, 21%, 19.8% respectively. Lower educational status of partners (AOR = 3.26, 95%CI: 1.45-7.36), rural residency (AOR = 4.04, 95%CI: 1.17-13.93), frequent alcohol abuse by partner (AOR = 4.79, 95% CI: 2.08-11.04), early initiation of antenatal care (AOR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.24-0.81), the age of women between 17-26 years (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.21, 95%CI: 0.09-0.49),choice of partner by the women only (AOR = 3.26,95% CI:1.24-8.57) were statistically significant factors associated with intimate partner violence towards pregnant women. CONCLUSIONS:In this study, the prevalence of intimate partner violence during pregnancy is found to be high. As a result, interventions that would address the above mentioned factors need to be implemented.

Project description:BackgroundCommon mental disorders include anxiety, depression and somatic symptoms. These pose significant public health problems because of their serious effects on personal well-being, social and occupational functions. They also can affect the health and quality of life of people in adolescence, because this age group has been vulnerable to different factors. According to the American Psychiatry Association, more than 60% of adolescents fulfil the criteria for at least one common mental disorder. Despite the high burden of the disorders, there are limited studies in Ethiopia; therefore, this study provided the prevalence of common mental disorders among students in Ethiopia.MethodsFrom 5 May to 30 May 2021, an institutional-based cross-sectional study was undertaken. Simple random sampling was used to select study participants from each class level across all high schools. A self-administered survey was used that included Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20, Oslo Social Support Scale-3 and other semistructured instruments for the screening of common mental disorders. Data were checked, coded and entered into Epi-Data V.4.6.0, then exported to SPSS V.20 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to identify factors associated with common mental disorders. Adjusted ORs with 95% CIs were calculated and variables with a p value of <0.05 were considered as significantly associated with common mental disorders.ResultsA total of 600 high school students were recruited with a response rate of 93.2%. The overall prevalence of common mental disorders among the participants was 181 (32.4%). Being female (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.93; 95% CI: 1.27 to 2.99), a family history of mental illness (AOR=2.23; 95% CI: 1.15 to 4.35), poor social support (AOR=3.14; 95% CI: 1.51 to 6.54), a history of non-physical sexual abuse (AOR=2.09; 95% CI: 1.21 to 3.62) and a history of physical sexual abuse (AOR=2.43; 95% CI: 1.29 to 4.59) were significantly associated with common mental disorders.Conclusion and recommendationThe prevalence of common mental disorders was 32.4% among students; therefore, it is recommended facilitating institutional-based intervention services in the school to decrease the contributing factors for the common mental disorders.

Project description:IntroductionRespectful maternity care is essential for improving maternal and neonatal health. Lack of respectful maternity care during childbirth services is one of the deterrents to women seeking facility-based deliveries. It is a health system failure and a violation of women's rights. There is limited data on respectful maternity care during childbirth and maternity care in Ethiopia, particularly at rural health facilities. But studies have shown that many women from rural areas were more likely to report disrespect and abuse than urban residents.ObjectiveThis study aims to assess respectful maternity care and associated factors among mothers who gave birth at health institutions in the South Gondar zone, northwest Ethiopia, 2021.MethodsA multicenter institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among mothers who gave birth at South Gondar Zone public health institutions, from 1 February to 30 March 2021. Six hundred twenty-two study participants were selected by using systematic random sampling. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pretested and semi-structured questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-Data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance.ResultA total of 611 participants were included in the study with the response rate of 98.2%. The study revealed that only 39.4%, of (95% confidence interval: 35.4-43.2) women received respectful maternity care. Completed secondary education (adjusted odds ratio: 2.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.35-4.50), having antenatal care follow-up (adjusted odds ratio: 0.098, 95% confidence interval: 0.03-0.34), planned pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio: 3.21, 95% confidence interval: 1.69-6.08), cesarean section delivery (adjusted odds ratio: 0.47, 95% confidence interval: 0.25-0.89), and daytime delivery (adjusted odds ratio: 1.9, 95% confidence interval: 1.33-2.72)) were significantly associated with respectful maternity care.Conclusion and recommendationOnly two out of five women received respectful maternity care during childbirth. Completed secondary education, having antenatal care follow-up, pregnancy intended/wanted, daytime delivery, and cesarean section delivery were identified factors. Therefore, giving emphasis to creating awareness of care providers on the standards and categories of respectful maternity care, improving care provider-client discussion, monitoring, and reinforcing accountability mechanisms for health workers to improve respectful maternity care during labor and childbirth were recommended.

Project description:IntroductionGlobally, it is estimated that 2.2 billion people have a visual impairment, of which around 65.2 million is due to cataract. Cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, with the greatest burden found in low-income countries. That is providing recent epidemiological data is very crucial to design intervention measures. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of cataract among adults visiting ophthalmic clinic, Debre Markos comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020.MethodsThe sample size was calculated using single population formula and determined to be 174. All adult participants aged ⩾40 were the source population and those fulfilling the inclusion criteria were the study population. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design using a systematic random sampling technique was conducted from July to August, 2020. Semi-structured questionnaires and patients' card were used to collect data. Data were entered into epi-data version 4.6 and the analysis was conducted using SPSS-25 software. Data were presented using graphs, tables and texts. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with cataract. Adjusted odds ratio with corresponding 95% confidence interval was computed to show the strength of association. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultFrom a total of 174 samples, 158 participated, giving a response rate of 90.8%. The prevalence of cataract was found to be 90 (57%). The variables-age 60-69 years (adjusted odds ratio = 6.667, 95% confidence interval: (1.662, 13.101)); age 70-79 years (adjusted odds ratio = 9.583, 95% confidence interval: (2.840, 32.342)), and single marital status (adjusted odds ratio = 2.945, 95% confidence interval: (1.241, 6.989))-had a significant association with cataract.ConclusionThe prevalence of cataract was found to be very high, which needs immediate intervention. Older age and single marital status were found to be significantly associated with cataract prevalence.
