Abstract

Background: Postnatal period is generally the most neglected period, especially in developing countries. This study assessed postnatal care service utilization and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the last one year in Adama Town, Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods: Community based Cross sectional study was employed in seven randomly selected kebeles` in Adama town. A total of 563 mothers was included. Data was collected by face to face interview. Data were entered into Epi Info version 7 and imported to SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics were carried out to characterize the study population. Bivariate and Multivariable Logistic regression were used to identify the associated factors. Result: The mean age of respondents was 28 (SD±5. 01) Years. The prevalence of PNC utilization was 269 (47.7%) with (95% CI: 44.0, 51.8). Educational status (AOR, 2.27; 95% CI: 1.13, 4.57), mode of delivery (AOR, 5.08; 95% CI: 2.55, 10.10), Provision of PNC appointment (AOR, 2.09; 95% CI: 1.36, 3.25), and Mothers Knowledge (AOR, 5.68; 95%CI: 2.97, 10.87) showed statistically significant association with PNC service utilization. Conclusion: Postnatal care service utilization in this study is much lower than Health service transformation plan of the country. Factors like Educational status, Mode of Delivery, Appointment date, mother’s knowledge of PNC utilization were found to be significantly associated with PNC utilization.
