Abstract
Objective To assess maternal satisfaction with delivery service and associated factors among mothers delivered at Arba Minch town governmental health facilities, South Ethiopia, 2022. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional design study was conducted from 1 April to 30 June 2022. The total sample size was 320. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select mothers. Data were entered using Epi-data Version 3.1 and exported to SPSS Version 25 for analysis. Multicollinearity was considered using a variance inflation factor. The goodness of fit test was done using the Hosmer-Lemeshow model. Binary logistic regression was done, and variables with a p-value of <0.25 in the bivariable analysis were taken into the multivariable analysis. Statistically significant was declared at a p-value of <0.05 with an adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Result The maternal satisfaction with delivery service was 75.0% (95% CI: 70.3%-79.4%). Being urban residence (AOR: 4.15, 95% CI: 1.87-9.19), absence of anemia during pregnancy (AOR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.07-5.29), absence of antepartum hemorrhage (AOR: 2.96, 95% CI: 1.35-6.50), induction to onset labor (AOR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.02-0.39), female sex of the newborn (AOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.15-0.72), absence of fetal distress during labor (AOR: 5.01, 95% CI: 1.69-14.86), absence of intrauterine meconium release (AOR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.02-7.63), and presence of privacy measures during examination (AOR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.37-7.04) were associated with maternal satisfaction. Conclusion and recommendation About 8 in 10 mothers are satisfied with the delivery service. Residence, anemia during pregnancy, antepartum hemorrhage, the onset of labor, sex of the newborn, fetal distress during labor, intrauterine meconium release, and privacy measures during examination are associated with maternal satisfaction with delivery services. Therefore, preventing anemia during pregnancy and antepartum hemorrhage, minimizing induction of labor, preventing fetal distress and intrauterine meconium release during labor, and taking privacy measures during examination might enhance maternal satisfaction with delivery services.

Alemu EM, Kaso AW, Obsie GW, Fessaha HZ, Agero G. Maternal satisfaction with delivery service and associated factors among women who gave birth at public hospitals in Guji Zone, Southern Ethiopia. BMC Womens Health 2024; 24:227. [PMID: 38589846 PMCID: PMC11000373 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-024-03069-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal satisfaction during delivery services is considered an important indicator of the quality of healthcare in a hospital setting and determines the uptake of services during subsequent pregnancies. However, there is limited information on the magnitude of women's satisfaction during delivery services in the study area. Thus, this study aimed to assess factors associated with maternal satisfaction with delivery services among women who gave birth at public hospitals in Guji Zone, Southern Ethiopia. METHOD A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public hospitals in Guji Zone from December 1, 2020, to January 30, 2021. Two hundred forty-nine women who gave birth at public hospitals were recruited by a systematic random sampling technique. The collected data were entered into the Epi Info 7 software and then exported to SPSS Version 26 for analysis. A logistic regression model was employed to identify the association between independent variables and maternal satisfaction during delivery services. A P-value less than 0.05 and an Adjusted Odds Ratio with 95% CI was computed to determine the strength of the association between these variables. RESULT In this study, 138(55.4%), 95% CI (49.1-61.7) women were satisfied with delivery. Mothers who delivered through cesarean section (AOR = 2.92, 95% CI: 1.34-6.33), privacy assured (AOR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.76-5.59), shorter duration of labor (AOR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.64-4.62), waiting time ≤ 30 min (AOR = 5.15,95% CI:1.99-13.32) and normal fetal outcome (AOR = 2.63, 95% CI:1.42-4.85) were associated with mothers satisfaction with delivery care services. CONCLUSION The overall magnitude of women's satisfaction with delivery services is low, which is below the national client satisfaction target of ≥ 85%. Factors such as mode of delivery, assured privacy, short duration of labor, waiting time ≤ 30 min, and good fetal outcome were significantly associated with women's satisfaction with delivery services. Therefore, healthcare providers should provide better management during intrapartum childbirth or emergency obstetric care to improve fetal outcomes during delivery services. In addition, health facility managers should avail infrastructure that helps to maintain the privacy of women who give birth in the facility.

[PMID: 38456162 PMCID: PMC10919126 DOI: 10.1177/20503121241233214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The level of maternal satisfaction with delivery services significantly affects health service utilization among women. Ethiopia's healthcare system and health facilities' quality have not much improved, which may contribute to women's generally poor levels of satisfaction and there was a limited study about client satisfaction on delivery services in the study area. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess level of maternal satisfaction with delivery service and its associated factors among women who gave birth in Tullo Woreda public health facilities, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 September 2020 among 355 women who gave birth in Tullo Woreda public health facilities, Eastern Ethiopia Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire through a face-to-face interview and entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25. The prevalence was reported using a 95% confidence interval and summary measures. Predictors were assessed using a multivariable logistic regression analysis model and reported using an adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at a p-value of <0.05. Results The overall satisfaction of mothers on delivery service was 33.5% (95% CI: 27.81, 39.13). Factors such as having no antenatal care (ANC) for the index pregnancy (AOR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.56), women who came to health centers on foot (AOR = 0.17; CI: 0.04, 0.74) and by auto-rickshaw (AOR = 0.16; 95 % CI: 0.04, 0.64), mothers who did not satisfied with toilet service at the delivery room (AOR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.86) and who were not satisfied with maternal drugs availability (AOR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.95) were predictors of maternal satisfaction. Conclusions This study pointed out that only 33.5% of women were satisfied with delivery care services provided in public health facilities of the study area. Factors such as not having ANC, using foot and auto-rickshaw as means of transportation, availability of drugs, and toilets were predictor of maternal satisfactions. Awareness creation for the benefit of ANC follow-up and delivery in the health facilities and providing safe transportation during referral time may help mothers get a timely healthcare service, which may increase client satisfaction. The concerned entities must pay attention in timely availability of drugs and improving the toiles, which play a role in shaping and molding level of satisfaction of women.

Unveiling contextual influences of maternal satisfaction with labour care services in Nigeria: A qualitative inquiry. Afr J Prim Health Care Fam Med 2023; 15:e1-e7. [PMID: 38044891 PMCID: PMC10696893 DOI: 10.4102/phcfm.v15i1.4173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In light of the rising global effort to lower maternal mortality rates, it is crucial for low- and middle-income countries with poor maternal indices to investigate the problem of maternal satisfaction and the key elements that affect it. To this effect, this study explored the experiences of postnatal women in relation to labour services and investigated the factors that contribute to their overall satisfaction. AIM The study set out to explore factors influencing maternal satisfaction with labour care services in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. This study ultimately seeks to advance our understanding of this phenomenon to impact labour care and policy. SETTING The study was conducted among multiparous women who had their antenatal care and delivery in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. METHODS A qualitative study was performed using in-depth interviews among postnatal women. RESULTS The results revealed a number of variables that could affect the women's satisfaction with labour care, including the choice of health facility, healthcare providers, environment of the facility, assurance of privacy, treating patients with dignity, provision of needed amenities and having a well-planned postnatal care assessment. CONCLUSION The study revealed that the costs of care, the skill of the caregiver, the provision of confidential and dignified care, and the availability of supplies all have an impact on maternal satisfaction. Hospital administration should address these issues to enhance the experience of women and labour care services.Contribution: The study's findings provide insights that will inform strategies to improve the quality of care being provided to parturients in Nigeria.

Abstract
Background Maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care is a multidimensional assumption of satisfaction with self and with the physical environment of the delivery ward and quality of care. Maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care affects the selection of birthplace and helps to identify gaps between actual and intended healthcare outcomes. This study aims to assess factors that affect maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care. Objectives To assess maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in public hospitals in the South-west Shewa Zone, Ethiopia, 2022. Methods A cross-sectional study approach among 420 mothers was conducted between April 14 and June 14, 2022. Systematic random sampling was used to select mothers for face-to-face interviews every two intervals. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out. P-values of <0.25 in association with study variables were transferred to multivariable logistic regression models. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed, and p-values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant in the multivariable model. The results of this study are presented using text, tables, and charts. Results Data were collected from 420 participants, and 413 mothers completed the interview, giving a response rate of 98.33%. The overall maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care was 245 (59.32%) [95% CI: 55-64]. Mothers who were considered normal during labor and delivery (AOR = 2.57 (95% CI: 1.30-5.07), had a labor duration of 12 h or less (AOR = 1.59 (95% CI: 1.03-2.44), and experienced a waiting time of <15 min (AOR = 2.06 (95% CI: 1.21-3.52) were significantly associated with maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care. Conclusion and Recommendations More than half of mothers were satisfied with the overall intrapartum care they received. Health facility managers and healthcare providers work together to improve maternal satisfaction with intrapartum care.

Abstract
Background Maternal delivery satisfaction could be assessed to improve the quality and effectiveness. Thus, this study aimed to assess maternal satisfaction with delivery services and associated factors in public health facilities in West Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on maternal satisfaction delivery services. Systematic and stratified sampling techniques were used to select mothers by using their delivery registration number and to select health facilities. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify associated factors. Results Among mothers, the overall satisfaction with delivery service was 584 (87%). Shower service availability (39.8%), toilet cleanliness (32.6%), and waiting area cleanliness (31.1%) were significant areas of mothers' dissatisfaction with delivery services. Uneducated mothers, mothers of 1-6 education level, monthly income of mothers less than 500 Birr, mothers who followed antenatal care, mothers who had actual fetal outcome, mothers who admitted from 6:00 AM to 12:00, and mothers who admitted from 12:00 AM to 6:00 PM were satisfied with delivery services. Conclusion The age of the mother, mother's education level, monthly income of mother, antenatal care, fetal outcome, place of delivery, and admission time of the mother were significantly associated factors for mothers' satisfaction with delivery services. Therefore, regional health bureaus and zonal health offices should work collaboratively on maternal care to improve maternal satisfaction during delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 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. METHODS In 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. RESULTS Eight 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. CONCLUSION This 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.

Abstract
Background Antenatal care is a care given for pregnant women and is taken as a key maternal care service in improving and keeping health of both life outcomes for mothers and newborns. Countries with low antenatal care coverage are the countries with very high maternal mortality ratios. Objective Hence, The aim of this study was to determine the level of late initiation of antenatal care visit and associated factors amongst antenatal care follow up in Antenatal care (ANC) services at Gedo General Hospital, Western Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2021 Methodology A health facility based cross-sectional study design was conducted from July 10–30, 2021 using primary data review and face-to-face interviews among clients receiving ANC. A total of 347 mothers was selected by simple random sampling and were interviewed while they come to antenatal care follow-up in Gedo general hospital. Data were entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and then changed to SPSS version 23 for the analysis purpose. Those Variables which are P < 0.25 in binary logistic regression were selected as a candidate for multiple logistic regressions to determine independently associated factors. The adjusted odds ratio was employed with 95% CI to illustrate the strength of association and P < 0.05 was used to state a statistical significance. Result Among 330 women, about 58.5% of women came for their first ANC visit initiation lately. Being a housewife, having a family size >4, and having a distance from the health facility >1 h were higher odds of late first ANC visit initiation as compared to vice versa. Besides, women aged 20–24 years had 0.18 times and 25–29 years had lower odds of late first ANC visit initiation Conclusion Majority of women began their first antenatal care initiation lately. Therefore, the provision of awareness on the significance of attending the first antenatal care early via health extension workers is recommended

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.
