Institutional delivery service utilization and associated factors in Ethiopia: a systematic review and META-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is wide variation in the utilization of institutional delivery service in Ethiopia. Various socioeconomic and cultural factors affect the decision where to give birth. Although there has been a growing interest in the assessment of institutional delivery service utilization and its predictors, nationally representative evidence is scarce. This study was aimed to estimate the pooled national prevalence of institutional delivery service utilization and associated factors in Ethiopia.

Methods

Studies were accessed through PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to see publication bias, and I-squared statistic was applied to check heterogeneity of studies. A weighted Dersimonian laired random effect model was applied to estimate the pooled national prevalence and the effect size of institutional delivery service utilization and associated factors.

Result

Twenty four studies were included in this review. The pooled prevalence of institutional delivery service utilization was 31% (95% Confidence interval (CI): 30, 31.2%; I² =?0.00%). Attitude towards institutional delivery (Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR)?=?2.83; 95% CI 1.35,5.92) in 3 studies, maternal age at first pregnancy (AOR?=?3.59; 95% CI 2.27,5.69) in 4 studies, residence setting (AOR?=?3.84; 95% CI 1.31, 11.25) in 7 studies, educational status (AOR?=?2.91;95% 1.88,4.52) in 5 studies, availability of information source (AOR?=?1.80;95% CI 1.16,2.78) in 6 studies, ANC follow-up (AOR?=?2.57 95% CI 1.46,4.54) in 13 studies, frequency of ANC follow up (AOR?=?4.04;95% CI 1.21,13.46) in 4 studies, knowledge on danger signs during pregnancy and benefits of institutional delivery (AOR?=?3.04;95% CI 1.76,5.24) in 11 studies and place of birth of the elder child (AOR?=?8.44;95% CI 5.75,12.39) in 4 studies were the significant predictors of institutional delivery service utilization.

Conclusion

This review found that there are several modifiable factors such as empowering women through education; promoting antenatal care to prevent home delivery; increasing awareness of women through mass media and making services more accessible would likely increase utilization of institutional delivery.

Project description:Background:Even though the modern contraceptive use was improved in Ethiopia, the utilization of long-acting family planning services is still low because of numerous factors. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize logical evidence about factors associated with long acting family planning service utilization in Ethiopia. Methods:The participants of the study were married women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. This search included all published and unpublished observational studies written in the English language conducted before April 30, 2018, in Ethiopia. Electronic and non-electronic sources were used. PubMed, MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINHAL (EBSCO), Embase (EBSCO), POPLINE and the search engines like Google, Google Scholar Mednar and world cat log were used. The overall selected search results were 15 studies. Each study was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Studies. Data synthesis and statistical analysis were conducted using ReviewManagerVersion5.3.5. Results:Women's inadequate knowledge level [OR, 0.29; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.83, P?=?0.02], women's age between 15 and 34 [OR, 0.82; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.93, P?=?0.01], not having electronic media [OR, 0.65; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.79, P?<?0.0001] and women from rural area [OR?=?0.65;95% CI:0.50, 0.81, P?=?0.0009] were less likely associated in the use of long-acting family planning services. The odds of utilizing long acting family planning methods were high among non-government- employed women and husband [OR, 1.77; 95% CI: 1.29, 2.43, P?=?0.0004], [OR, 1.69; 95% CI: 1.33, 2.15, P?<?0.0001] respectively. Having no previous exposure to any modern family planning method [OR?=?2.29; 95%CI: 1.83, 2.86, P?<?0.00001] and women having no discussion with husband [OR?=?1.92 (95%CI: 1.50, 2.45) P?<?0.00001] were more likely associated in the utilization of long-acting family planning services. Conclusion:Lack of information and knowledge, having discussion with husband, being women of younger age, having less than five living children, being government-employed women and husband, not having electronic media, and being residents in rural area were significant barriers for underutilization of long acting family planning methods in Ethiopia. Hence, the investigators suggest that key stakeholders should design interventions strategies to avert attitudinal, cultural and informational barriers towards long-acting family planning methods.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Globally, newborn death accounted for 46% of under-five deaths and more than 80% of newborn deaths are the result of preventable and treatable conditions. Findings on the prevalence and associated factors of essential newborn care utilization are highly variable and inconsistent across Ethiopia. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of essential newborn care utilization and associated factors in Ethiopia. METHODS:The international databases accessed included MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Grey literature databases, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Cochrane library were scientifically explored. We considered all primary studies reporting the prevalence of essential newborn care utilization and associated factors in Ethiopia. We retrieved all necessary data by using a standardized data extraction format spreadsheet. STATA 14 statistical software was used to analyze the data and Cochrane Q test statistics and I2 test was used to assess the heterogeneity between the studies. There significant heterogeneity between the studies so a random effect model was employed. RESULTS:The pooled estimate of essential newborn care utilization from 11 studies in Ethiopia was 48.77% (95% CI: 27.89, 69.65). Residence [OR?=?2.50 (95% CI: 1.64, 3.88)], Postnatal care [OR?=?5.53, 95% CI?=?(3.02, 10.13], counseling during pregnancy and delivery [OR?=?4.39, 95% CI?=?(2.99, 6.45], antenatal care follows up (OR?=?6.84; 95% CI: 1.15, 4.70) and maternal educational status [OR?=?1.63 (95% CI: 1.12, 2.37)] were identified as associated factors of essential newborn care utilization. CONCLUSION:Based on the current study essential newborn care utilization in Ethiopia was significantly low in comparison with the current global recommendation on essential newborn care utilization. Place of residence, Postnatal care, counseling during pregnancy and delivery, antenatal care follow up, and maternal educational status were associated risk factors. Therefore, on the basis of the results, it is suggested that special attention should be given to attempts to ensure that education should focus on women during ante and postnatal follow-up, counseling during pregnancy and delivery, as well as rural and illiterate mothers. Finally, appropriate newborn services at health facilities and raising mother's level of awareness about newborn care practices are imperative in addressing the gaps in essential newborn care utilization in Ethiopia.

Project description:BackgroundMaternal mortality continues to be a pressing concern in global health, presenting an enduring and unmet challenge for healthcare systems worldwide. Utilization of institutional delivery services has been established as a proven intervention to mitigate life-threatening risks for both mothers and newborns. Exploring the determinants of institutional delivery is crucial to improve and enhance maternal and newborn safety. This study aimed to assess the contextual and individual factors associated with institutional delivery in Nepal.MethodsThis study utilized that data form Nepal Multiple Indicator Survey 2019, which included a sample of 1,932 women who had given birth within the two years prior to the survey. A multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the significant external environment, contextual and individual predictors of institutional delivery.ResultsThe women from Madhesh province [Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR): 0.32, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.17-0.61], as compared to Bagmati province, women from rural areas (aOR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.39-0.78) as compared to urban areas, and women from a relatively less-advantaged ethnic groups (aOR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.35-0.76) as compared to the relatively advantaged ethnic groups were less likely to deliver in health institutions. Similarly, women from the poorest (aOR: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.04-0.22) and second wealth groups (aOR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.13-0.64) were less likely to attend institute for delivery compared to women from the richest household. Women with formal education (aOR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.16-2.35) were more likely to deliver in an institution over uneducated women. Moreover, the uptake of institutional delivery increased by 59% (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.43-1.75) for each additional ANC visit.ConclusionThe findings highlight the importance of stepping up efforts to achieve universal health care from the standpoint of long-term government investment, focusing particularly on illiterate women in rural areas, poorer households, and socially disadvantaged groups. Expanding the benefits of maternal benefit schemes targeting the women from the poorest households in the communities is recommended.

Project description:BackgroundEthiopia has been striving to promote institutional delivery through community wide programs. However, home is still the preferred place of delivery for most women encouraged by the community`s perception that delivery is a normal process and home is the ideal environment. The proportion of women using institutional delivery service is below the expected level. Therefore, we examined the impact of perception on institutional delivery service use by using the health belief model.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,394 women who gave birth during the past 1 year from September to December 2019. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected by using health belief model constructs, and structured and pretested questionnaire. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with the outcome variable at 95% confidence level.ResultsInstitutional delivery service was used by 58.17% (95% CI: 55.57- 60.77%) of women. The study showed that high perceived susceptibility (AOR = 1.87; 95% CI 1.19-2.92), high cues to action (AOR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.04-2.36), husbands with primary school education (AOR = 1.43; 95% CI 1.06-1.94), multiparty(5 or more) (AOR = 2.96; 95% CI 1.85-4.72), discussion on institutional delivery at home (AOR = 4.25; 95% CI 2.85-6.35), no close follow-up by health workers (AOR = 0.59;95% CI 0.39-0.88), regular antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 1.77;95% CI 1.23,2.58), health professionals lack of respect to clients (AOR = 2.32; 95% CI 1.45-3.79), and lack of health workers (AOR = 0.43;95% CI 0.29-0.61) were significantly associated with the utilization health behavior of institutional delivery service.ConclusionThe prevalence of institutional delivery in the study area was low. The current study revealed that among the health belief model construct perceived susceptibility and cues to action were significantly associated with the utilization behavior of institutional delivery service. On top of that strong follow-up of the community and home based discussion was a significant factor for the utilization behavior of institutional delivery service.

Project description:BackgroundPost-abortion contraceptive utilization is the initiation and use of family planning methods at the time of management of abortion or before fertility returns. A significant discrepancy was reported regarding the prevalence and its associated factors of post-abortion contraceptive utilization in Ethiopia. So, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of post-abortion contraceptive utilization and its associated factors in Ethiopia.MethodsPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline was used. The databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Cochrane library, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and additional searches by using direct Google search, libraries, and preprint were searched. Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI) was used for critical appraisal.ResultsA total of 17 studies with 13,075 individuals were included. Of these, 14 studies with 5,719 individuals were used to estimate the prevalence. The pooled prevalence of post-abortion contraceptive utilization in Ethiopia was 63.64% (95% CI: 57.75-69.53). The subgroup analysis reported the highest prevalence of post-abortion contraceptive utilization in a study conducted in Addis Ababa (77.40%), a study published in 2015-2021 (66.15%), and among studies with a sample size >400 (66.84%). The pooled odds ratio (OR) of post-abortion contraceptive utilization for the mothers who had post-abortion family planning counseling was 4.15 (95% CI = 1.30, 13.2), and history of family planning utilization was 4.28 (95% CI = 2.66, 6.89).ConclusionsThe pooled prevalence of utilization of post-abortion contraceptives in this meta-analysis remains low. Post-abortion family planning counseling and the history of the utilization of modern family planning methods were significantly associated with the practice of post-abortion contraceptives. The Ministry of Health should encourage post-abortion family planning utilization, making more efforts on post-abortion contraceptive counseling. Health facilities should work hard to strengthen the family planning counseling service, especially focusing on those who had no previous family planning utilization.

Project description:BackgroundClient satisfaction reflects the gap between the expected service and the experience of the service, from the client's point of view. Maternal satisfaction with delivery services affects the selection of birthplaces and helps to identify gaps between actual health care and desired health care outcomes. There is a dearth of evidence on the factors of client satisfaction towards delivery services in the Somali region.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess maternal satisfaction and associated factors towards institutional delivery service at public hospitals in the Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia, in 2018.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from December 1-30, 2018, on a total of 320 delivering mothers who gave birth. A systematic random sampling technique was used. A pretested structured questionnaire was used for data collection through a face-to-face interview. The data was checked for completeness and entered into EpiData. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version.20. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors. Multivariable analysis was done to compute adjusted odds ratios at 95% CI and a P-value <0.05 was used to declare a statistically significant association.ResultsThe overall maternal satisfaction towards delivery service was 76.60% (95%CI: 71.90, 80.90). The short duration of labor below 12 hours (AOR = 1.80, 95%CI: 1.01, 3.2), waiting time below 15 minutes (AOR = 2.78, 95%CI: 1.10, 6.99) and planned pregnancy (AOR = 3.68, 95%CI: 1.59, 8.47) were significantly associated with mother's satisfaction towards delivery services.ConclusionsThis study revealed that more than three-quarters of mothers were satisfied with the institutional delivery service. Longer waiting time, suffering from persistent labor and having unplanned pregnancies hindering factors for maternal satisfaction. Therefore, programs on education and counseling towards pregnancy planning should be strengthened. Efforts should be made on availing adequate skilled birth attendants to manage persistent labor and handle longer waiting times.
