Abstract
Every year more than 500,000 women die from complications during pregnancy or childbirth. Birth-preparedness and complication readiness is a strategy that promotes the use of institutional delivery service, which reduces the risk of complications or death. Objective: The study assessed birth preparedness and complication readiness for safe delivery service utilization among women who had given birth in the last 12 months preceding the survey in Boloso sore woreda, Wolaita zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia. Methodology; A community based analytic cross sectional survey was conducted in Wolaita zone, SNNPR, Feb.2010. A systematic sampling technique was used to select the sample of 422 women. Data were collected through pre-tested, semi- structured questionnaires. The data were entered in to Epi info version 3.3 and analyzed on SPSS version 13 computer software. A univirate, bivirate and multivariate analyses were done using frequencies, x2 and binary logistic regressions respectively. The study was conducted after approval of Institutional Review Board of Medical faculty, Addis Ababa University and written consent was taken from study participants. Results The study revealed that 21.8% women had given birth at health facilities. One hundred twenty two (28.9%) women had planed for skilled attendant at birth, 49.8% women had saved money and 24.4% women had planned for emergency transport. Plan for skilled attendant, plan for emergency transport and saving money for obstetric emergencies were showed significant association with safe delivery service utilization at P < 0.05. Women who had planned for skilled attendant at birth were more likely to deliver at health facility than those who had not planned (AOR=0.02, 95% CI 0.01, 0.04). The odds of giving birth at health institution is higher among women with a plan for emergency transport and saved money for obstetric emergencies than their counterparts (AOR=0.01, 95% CI 0.01, 0.03), (AOR= 0.08, 95 % CI 0.03, 0.19) respectively. Conclusion and recommendation These findings indicated how birth-preparedness and complication readiness may be useful in increasing the use of institutional delivery service. IEC/BCC on preparing for birth and its complications and empowering women were recommended.
