Abstract
Background: Maternal mortality ratios strongly reflect the overall effectiveness of health systems. Many low- income developing countries were suffering from administrative, inadequate financial investment, cultural influences, lack of education husbands and wives, lack of skilled health personnel and distance of health facilities. Of which huge maternal mortality ratio (almost more than -half of deaths) takes place within postnatal period. Objectives : To assess prevalence of postnatal care utilization and its associated factors among mothers who delivered within last twelve months in Sodo Zuria District of Wolaita Zone; Southern Ethiopia, 2015/2016. Methods: Community based cross-sectional study design was employed among mother who delivered within last twelve months. A total sample size of 394 was used. The study was conducted from March to April 2016. Variables that have statistically significant at bivariate logistic regression with p-value<0.2 were entered in to the multiple binary logistic regression model. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistical significant. Result: Place of delivery, decision maker for PNC utilization, mothers with one live and mode of health delivery systems were statistically significant. Mothers who decided to follow PNC by their own and with their husband were 14.08 times [AOR=14.08, 95% CI: (2.278-86.980)] and 4.74 times [AOR=4.74, 95% CI: (1.179-19.039] more likely utilized postnatal care follow up as compared with for those their husbands decided about their wives respectively. Conclusions: Postnatal coverage of the Sodo Zuria district was 77.7% with 93.7% of mothers having information about postnatal care services. Of those mothers who utilized postnatal services 64.1% attended it within 24 hours after delivery. The reason for not utilizing of postnatal care in the remaining mothers was home delivery and lack of decision making about them.
