This was a cross-sectional population survey carried out to determine utilization of approved health facilities for delivery by mothers in Ile-Ife and factors influencing the observed utilization. A total number of 117 mothers who had delivered once or many times were selected using the systematic sampling method. Information was collected using pretested structured interview administered questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed using frequency tables and statistical test of significance. Of the 117 mothers interviewed, 70 (59.8%) booked in approved health facilities while 51 eventually delivered in the approve health facilities. The prominent reasons given for non utilization of health facilities were time of occurrence of labor, difficulty with transportation, fear of surgical operation, husband/family influence and delivery assistance by TBA's and relatives. Educational status of the mother, religious beliefs, distance from approved health facilities more than 5 km and attitude of health workers were amongst factors significantly influencing choice of place of delivery by the mothers.
这是一项横断面人口调查，旨在确定伊费地区产妇对经批准的卫生设施的利用情况以及影响观察到的利用情况的因素。采用系统抽样方法共选取了117名有过一次或多次分娩经历的母亲。通过预先测试的结构化访谈问卷收集信息。对收集到的数据使用频率表和显著性统计检验进行分析。在接受访谈的117名母亲中，70名（59.8%）在经批准的卫生设施登记预约，而最终有51名在经批准的卫生设施分娩。未利用卫生设施的主要原因是分娩发生的时间、交通困难、对手术的恐惧、丈夫/家人的影响以及传统助产士和亲属的分娩协助。母亲的教育程度、宗教信仰、距离经批准的卫生设施超过5公里以及卫生工作者的态度是显著影响母亲选择分娩地点的因素。
