Husband responses towards birth preparedness, complications readiness, and associated factors in southern Ethiopia: the case of Kena District.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Birth preparedness and complication readiness is a holistic approach that empowers mothers and families with the knowledge, attitude, and resources to alleviate potential challenges during childbirth. Despite its benefits, husbands' participation in maternal care differs significantly between countries and regions. There is a lack of previous studies that look at husbands' responses to birth preparedness and complication readiness in the research area. Thus, the primary goal of this study is to find out how husbands who have wives with infants under 12 months old feel about birth preparation, readiness for problems, and its associated factors.

Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from May 30 to July 29, 2022. Simple random sampling
