A systematic review and meta-analysis of women's satisfaction with skilled delivery care and the associated factors in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Evidence of variation in maternity health service practices has increased the government's interest in quantifying and advancing the quality of institutional delivery care in the developing world, including Ethiopia. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to update and provide more representative data on women's satisfaction with skilled delivery care and the associated factors in Ethiopia. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items 2015 guideline. We searched PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar electronic databases for all 36 included studies. The pooled prevalence of women's satisfaction with skilled delivery care and the associated factors were estimated using a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed to identify the source of heterogeneity. Furthermore, publication bias was checked using eggers and funnel plots. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 14.0 software. The pooled prevalence of women's satisfaction with skilled delivery care was 67.31 with 95% confidence interval (60.18-74.44). Wanted pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio = 2.86, 95% confidence interval: (2.24-3.64)), having a plan to deliver at a health facility (adjusted odds ratio = 2.09, 95% confidence interval: (1.42-3.09)), access to ambulance service (adjusted odds ratio = 1.52, 95% confidence interval: (1.00-2.31)), waiting time < 15 min (adjusted odds ratio = 3.66, 95% confidence interval: (2.51-5.33)), privacy assured (adjusted odds ratio = 3.94, 95% confidence interval: (2.23-6.94)), short duration of labour < 12 hr (adjusted odds ratio = 2.55, 95% confidence interval: (1.58-4.12)), proper labour pain management (adjusted odds ratio = 3.01, 95% confidence interval: (1.46-6.22)), and normal newborn outcome (adjusted odds ratio = 3.94, 95% confidence interval: (2.17-7.15)) were associated with women's satisfaction. Almost two-thirds of women were satisfied with skilled delivery care. In comparison, the remaining one-third were not satisfied with the care. The quality of intrapartum care, unwanted pregnancy, lack of ambulance services, prolonged duration of labour, poor labour pain management, and complicated newborn outcome were factors affecting women's satisfaction with skilled delivery care in Ethiopia. Therefore, strategies need to be developed to increase the satisfaction level by considering the abovementioned factors during routine delivery care.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To estimate the pooled prevalence of women's satisfaction with existing labour and delivery services in Ethiopia. DESIGN:Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS:MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Hinari, Google Scholar and web of science electronic databases were searched for the study. This meta-analysis included nineteen cross-sectional studies. Cochrane I2 statistics were used to check the heterogeneity of the studies. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis were conducted with the evidence of heterogeneity. Egger test with funnel plot were used to investigate publication bias. RESULT:Nineteen studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of women's satisfaction with existing labour and delivery services in Ethiopia was 70.54% (95% CI 60.94 to 80.15). Having informal education of the women (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.19; 95%?CI 1.47 to 3.25), time to be seen by the healthcare providers within 20?min (AOR=2.97; 95%?CI 2.11 to 4.19), receiving free service (AOR=5.01; 95%?CI 2.87 to 8.75), keeping women privacy (AOR=2.84; 95%?CI 1.46 to 5.55), planned delivery in the health institution (AOR=2.85; 95%?CI 1.99 to 4.07), duration of labour within 12?hours (AOR=2.55; 95%?CI 1.70 to 3.81) and have not antenatal care follow-up (AOR=4.03; 95%?CI 2.21 to 7.35) were factors associated with women satisfaction with labour and delivery services in Ethiopia. CONCLUSION:The pooled prevalence of women's satisfaction with existing labour and delivery services was high. Informal education of the women, antenatal care follow-up, planned delivery in the health institution, keeping women privacy, getting free service, time to be seen by the healthcare providers and duration of labour were factors associated with women's satisfaction during labour and delivery services. This finding is important to design strategic policies and to prevent emergency neonatal and women complications during the childbirth and postpartum periods.

Project description:BackgroundIn approximately 15% of all pregnancies, a potentially fatal complication that necessitates medical attention arises, requiring a significant obstetrical intervention for the pregnant women to survive. Between 70% and 80% of maternal life-threating complication have been treated through emergency obstetric and newborn services. This study investigates women's satisfaction with emergency obstetric and newborn care services in Ethiopia and factors associated with their satisfaction.MethodsIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched electronic databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, HINARI, Scopus, and Web of Sciences for primary studies. A standardized data collection measurement tool was used to extract the data. STATA 11 statistical software was used to analyze the data, and I2 tests were used to evaluate heterogeneity. The pooled prevalence of maternal satisfaction was predicted using a random-effects model.ResultsEight studies were included. The pooled prevalence of maternal satisfaction with emergency obstetric and neonatal care services was 63.15% (95% confidence interval: 49.48-76.82). Age (odds ratio = 2.88, 95% confidence interval: 1.62-5.12), presence of birth companion (odds ratio = 2.66, 95% confidence interval: 1.34-5.29), satisfaction with health workers' attitudes (odds ratio = 4.02, 95% confidence interval: 2.91-5.55), educational status (odds ratio = 3.59, 95% confidence interval: 1.42-9.08), length of stay at health facility (odds ratio = 3.71, 95% confidence interval: 2.79-4.94), and antenatal care visits (odds ratio = 2.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.52-3.24) were associated with maternal satisfaction with emergency obstetric and neonatal care service.ConclusionThis study found a low level of overall maternal satisfaction with emergency obstetric and neonatal care services. To increase maternal satisfaction and utilization, the government should focus on improving the standards of emergency maternal, obstetric, and newborn care by identifying gaps in maternal satisfaction regarding the services provided by healthcare professionals.

Project description:BackgroundAntenatal care service satisfaction is a measure of the degree to which a woman seeking care is happy with the antenatal care service provided to her. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify factors that determine antenatal care service satisfaction among women in Ethiopia.MethodsPubMed, Hinari, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for eligible studies. In addition, national university digital libraries were also searched. The Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) critical appraisal tools were used to assess the quality of the included articles. The Cochrane Q-statistics and I2 tests were used to assess heterogeneity among the included studies. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test. Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies. The extracted data were analyzed using STATA version 14 software and the results were presented using the forest plot.ResultsOf the 274 articles identified through the systematic search of the literature, 13 studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in this meta-analysis. First antenatal care visit (AOR: 0.62 and 95% CI: 0.40, 0.96), women waited <60 min (AOR: 1.87 and 95% CI: 1.40-2.50), women whose privacy was maintained (AOR: 3.91 and 95% CI: 1.97-7.77), women treated respectfully (AOR: 5.07 and 95% CI: 2.34-10.96), and unplanned pregnancies (AOR = 0.28 and 95% CI: 0.10-0.77) were significantly associated with antenatal care service satisfaction.ConclusionThe study assessed the determinants of antenatal care service satisfaction in Ethiopia. First antenatal care visit, waiting time (<60 min) to see the care provider, maintenance of privacy, respectful treatment, and pregnancy unplanned were found to be determinants of antenatal care service satisfaction. Counseling a woman to comply with a minimum required antenatal care visits and compassionate and respectful maternity care will increase maternal satisfaction with the antenatal care services.

Project description:BackgroundThere 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.MethodsStudies 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.ResultTwenty 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.ConclusionThis 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:BackgroundAccording to the 2015 World Health Organization report, globally, an estimated 10.7 million mothers died from 1990 to 2015 due to obstetric complications. This report showed that almost all global maternal deaths (99%) occurred in developing countries and two thirds of these deaths took place in sub-Saharan Africa where the majority of women lack knowledge about obstetric danger signs. In Ethiopia, in several research reports, it has been indicated that women have poor knowledge about obstetric danger signs. Although several studies have been conducted to assess women's knowledge of obstetric danger signs, to date, no systematic review has been conducted in Ethiopia. Therefore, this review is aimed at synthesising the existing literature about women's knowledge of obstetric danger signs.MethodsWe systematically searched for articles from MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and Maternity and Infant Care databases. A combination of search terms including 'knowledge' or 'awareness' or 'information' and 'pregnancy danger signs' or 'obstetric danger signs' or 'obstetric warning signs' and 'Ethiopia' was used to locate appropriate articles. Two reviewers conducted article screening and data abstraction independently. Observational studies published in English and conducted in Ethiopia to date were assessed for quality using the adapted Newcastle Ottawa Scale for cross-sectional studies. The PRISMA checklist was used to present the findings of this systematic review.ResultsFrom the 215 articles initially screened by abstracts and titles, 12 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All the studies reported women's knowledge of obstetric danger signs during pregnancy, ten articles reported on the level of knowledge during delivery and eight studies reported on the level of knowledge of danger signs during the postpartum period. The pooled random effect meta-analysis level of women's knowledge about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum was 48%, 43% and 32%, respectively. Maternal age, education, income, health service use, distance from facility and women's autonomy were reported in several studies as determinants of women's knowledge of obstetric danger signs.ConclusionsWomen's knowledge about obstetric danger signs in Ethiopia was very poor, which could hamper access to obstetric care when women encounter obstetric complications. Counselling services during antenatal care and community-based health information dissemination about obstetric danger signs should be strengthened.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42017077000.

Project description:ObjectiveAlthough emphasis is placed on women's decision-making power regarding family planning use in Ethiopia, the utilization of contraceptives is low. There are studies conducted in different parts of the country on women's decision-making power regarding family planning use; however, there are inconsistent findings. Thus, this study aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of women's decision-making power regarding family planning use and associated factors in Ethiopia.MethodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed to develop the systematic review and meta-analysis. All observational studies were retrieved from online databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, African Journal Online and gray literature. The data search was performed from 1 December to 16 May 2022. The quality of the studies was critically assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Heterogeneity among studies was examined using the I 2 statistic. RevMan version 5.3 and STATA version 14 software were used for analysis.ResultsA total of 852 studies were retrieved, and 8 studies were included in the final meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of women's decision-making power regarding family planning use was 57 (95% confidence interval: 37, 77). Good knowledge of family planning methods (odds ratio: 2.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.65, 3.67), a positive attitude toward family planning methods (odds ratio: 2.04, 95% confidence interval: 1.3, 3.2), and having primary or higher education (odds ratio: 9.76, 95% confidence interval: 4.36, 21.99) were associated with increased odds of women's decision-making power regarding family planning use.ConclusionNearly three in five married women made decisions regarding family planning use in Ethiopia. Women with good knowledge of family planning methods, a positive attitude toward family planning methods, and women having primary or higher education were associated with increased odds of women's decision-making power regarding family planning use.

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.
