Maternal healthcare service utilisation and associated factors among mothers in a rural Wolaita, southern Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study by Wondimagegn Paulos Kumma, Abera Kuche

“…The frequency of maternal healthcare service utilisation was positively related to having a favourable attitude towards maternal healthcare service utilisation, knowledge of mothers about maternal healthcare, walking distance to healthcare facilities in 30 and 30–60 min from residence and joint decision by mothers and their husbands on the place of delivery.Conclusion The proportion of maternal healthcare service utilisation in the study area was low, exacerbated by lower ANC, delivery care and PNC. The frequency of maternal healthcare service utilisation increased with a favourable attitude towards maternal healthcare service utilisation, knowledge of mothers about maternal healthcare, short travel distance to healthcare facilities and joint decisions by mothers and their husbands on the place of delivery. …”
