Abstract Background: In Ethiopia despite many interventions, 74% of mothers are delivered outside of health facilities. The gap between institutional delivery (26%) and antenatal care booked women (62%) is huge. Even if, respectful delivery care is the best and key strategy to increase institutional delivery, little is known about the implementation. The objective of this study was to assess the proportion and associated factors of respectful delivery care among mothers delivered in Debre Berhan town public health facilities, Ethiopia, 2019.Methods: Facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 413 consecutively selected mothers delivered in Debre Berhan town public health facilities from November 15 to December 30, 2019. Pretested structured interview-administered questionnaire was used. Respectful delivery care was assessed using twenty dichotomous items. Mothers who were reported yes for all of the items were considered to have received respectful maternity care. Data were entered into Epi-data version 3.1 and bivariable and multivariable logistic analyses were computed by using SPSS version 25 software. The Adjusted Odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the magnitude and direction of the association. A statistically significant association was declared at a P-value of less than 0.05.Result: The proportion of respectful delivery care in this study was 35.7% (95% CI: 31%, 40.3%). Day time delivery [AOR=2.48; 95% CI (1.55, 3.99)], secondary or more educated mothers [AOR= 3.59; 95% CI (1.53, 8.42)], having a companion during delivery care [AOR=2.45; 95% CI (1.47, 4.07)], and Antenatal care visits [AOR= 2.54; 95% CI (1.60, 4.01)] were the significantly associated factors. Conclusion: The proportion of respectful delivery care in this study is low. Hence, health administrators and health workers should allow mothers to have a companion during delivery care. Furthermore, improve antenatal care visits and education has to be the direction of the health administration and education sectors.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public health facilities in Lalo Kile district, Oromia, Western Ethiopia. Results Out of the 315 respondents, the mean age was 24.7 ± 2.54 years ranging between 15 and 44 years. The majority of the respondents were Oromo in ethnicity (90.2%) and protestant in religion (83.2%) and almost all (99%) of the study participants were married. Two hundred twenty-six (72%) of pregnant women were attended at least primary school and two hundred forty-six (78.1%) of the respondents were from farmer households. About half of the households (51.7%) had a monthly income of greater than 35 USD. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection was 138 (43.8%) with the predominance of hookworm (33.7%) followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (7.3%). Being a farmer [AOR, 95% CI 7.3 (1.46, 37.00), P = 0.03], walking barefooted [AOR, 95% CI 6.13 (1.98, 19.00), P = 0.002] and absence of proper handwashing after latrine [AOR, 95% CI 5.36 (1.78, 16.00), P = 0.003] were significantly associated with occurrence of the intestinal parasitic infection.

Abstract Background: Many interventions have been implemented to increase institutional delivery in Ethiopia. However, only 26% of women delivered in health facilities. This increases the curiosity of the scientific community to know more about the quality of maternity care in the country. Objective: This study aimed to assess the proportion of respectful delivery care and associated factors among women delivering in Debre Berhan town public health facilities, Ethiopia, 2019.Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 412 women who delivered in Debre Berhan town public health facilities from November 15 to December 30, 2019. A consecutive sampling method was used to identify study participants. A pretested structured questionnaire was administered by the interviewer. Bivariable and multivariable logistic analyses were conducted. Adjusted Odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the magnitude and direction of the association. Statistically significant association was declared at a P-value of less than 0.05.Results: A total of 412 postnatal women were participated in this study, yielding a 99.8% response rate. About 35.7% (95% CI: 31%, 40.3%) women reported that they have received respectful delivery care. Daytime delivery [AOR=2.48; 95% CI (1.55, 3.99)], secondary school educational status and plus [AOR= 3.59; 95% CI (1.53, 8.42)], having a companion during delivery [AOR=2.45; 95% CI (1.47, 4.07)], and having four or more antenatal care visits [AOR= 2.54; 95% CI (1.60, 4.01)] were positively associated with respectful delivery care. Conclusions: The proportion of women reporting respectful delivery care was low. Women who had four or more ANC visits, who were secondary-level or higher educated, delivered during the daytime, and had a companion during delivery were more likely to receive respectful delivery care. Thus, allowing the mother to have a companion, improve ANC service utilization, and improving education accomplishment should be the focus area of intervention.

Introduction Syphilis is one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality and is one of the most important public health problems. There was no study showing syphilis serostatus and its related factors among pregnant women in the current study area. This study was aimed to assess the magnitude of syphilis serostatus and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Jinka town public health facilities. Method Institution based cross-sectional study design was conducted in Jinka town public health facilities, southern Ethiopia from the 1st July to the 1st September, 2020. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 629 study subjects. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews and records were reviewed to check syphilis test results. Data were coded and entered by using Epi-data version 4.432 and analyzed using SPSS version 25. The binary logistic regression model was used to investigate factors associated with syphilis. A p-value of < 0.05 at multivariable analysis was considered statistically significant. Result In this study, syphilis sero-prevalence among pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics was 4.8% (95% CI: 3.12, 6.48). Rural residence [AOR: 2.873; 95%CI (1.171, 7.050)], alcohol use [AOR: 3.340; 95% CI (1.354, 8.241)] and having multiple sexual partner [AOR: 5.012; 95% CI (1.929, 13.020)] were statistically significantly associated with syphilis. Conclusion Sero-prevalence of syphilis was high. Being a rural residence, having multiple sexual partners, alcohol use were factors associated with syphilis. Therefore, substantial efforts have to be made to provide regular health education for pregnant women at the antenatal clinic on the avoidance of risky behaviors and the risk of syphilis on their pregnancy.
