背景:男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划是改善母婴健康的关键策略。它帮助准妈妈在无法获得服务的情况下及时做出决定。尽管意义重大,在研究环境中,男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划的信息很少.
目的:评估Dale区Sidama男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划的患病率和相关因素,2021年埃塞俄比亚。
方法:从11月到12月进行了一项基于社区的调查,2021年。数据是使用结构化的,预先测试和访谈管理问卷。采用多阶段整群抽样方法招募634份样本。进行Logistic回归分析,以确定与男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划相关的因素。通过逐步向后似然比方法估计相关因素的调整比值比(AORs)和95%置信区间(95%CI)。
结果:634名研究参与者中有622人完成了访谈,产生98.1%的应答率。男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划的患病率为47.6%(95CI:44.9%,48.9%)。调整共同变量后,诸如在产前检查期间陪伴妻子与伴侣的因素(AOR=2.3,95CI1.5,3.5),妻子有剖腹产史的男性伴侣(AOR=2.1,95CI1.1,3.8),男性伴侣对分娩准备和并发症准备计划的了解(AOR=3.5,95CI:3.1,6.6),产科并发症的存在(AOR=5.1,95CI:4.3,11.2),primi-gravida(AOR=2.7,95CI:1.6,4.7),男性伴侣对产科并发症的了解(AOR=3.5,95CI,2.2,5.7)与男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划显著相关。
结论:这项研究表明,男性伴侣参与分娩准备和并发症准备的患病率较低。因此,应加强对男性参与分娩准备和并发症准备计划的认识。
BACKGROUND: Male partners\' involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plans is a key strategy to improve maternal and child health. It assists an expectant mother to make timely decisions in receiving care where service is inaccessible. Despite its significance, information is scarce about male partner involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan in the study setting.
OBJECTIVE: To assess prevalence and factors associated with male partners\' involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan in Dale district Sidama, Ethiopia in 2021.
METHODS: A community-based survey was done from November to December, in 2021. Data were collected using a structured, pre-tested and interview administered questionnaire. A multi-stage cluster sampling was applied to recruit 634 samples. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with male partner involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of associated factors were estimated by stepwise backward likelihood ratio method.
RESULTS: 622 out of the 634 study participants completed the interview, yielding a 98.1% response rate. Prevalence of male partners\' involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan was 47.6% (95%CI: 44.9%, 48.9%). After adjusting the cofounding variables, factors like accompanying wives with their partners during their antenatal care visits (AOR = 2.3, 95%CI 1.5, 3.5), male partners whose wives had a history of caesarean birth (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI 1.1, 3.8), knowledge of male partners on birth preparedness and complication readiness plan (AOR = 3.5, 95%CI:3.1,6.6), presence of obstetric complications(AOR = 5.1,95%CI:4.3,11.2),primi-gravida (AOR = 2.7,95%CI:1.6,4.7), and male partners\' knowledge of obstetrics complications (AOR = 3.5,95%CI,2.2,5.7) were significantly associated with male partners\' involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that prevalence of male partners\' involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness was low. Therefore, awareness creation should be strengthened on male involvement on birth preparedness and complication readiness plan.
