Institutional delivery is Giving birth in medical institution under the care and Supervision of trained health care providers which promotes newborn survival and reduces maternal mortality. The objective of the study was to assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards institutional delivery among mothers of child bearing age who have one or more child and visit MCH clinic Adaba health center, West Arsi zone, South East Ethiopia.
Institutional based cross sectional study design was conducted. The study was conducted starting from May 1-30, 2021 at Adaba health center, West Arsi zone, South East Ethiopia. Our study sample size is 250 mothers who have at least one birth and visiting MCH at Adaba health center. Systematic random sampling was used to select mothers, Data was collected by using structured questionnaire. Finally, data was analyzed by SPSS version 21.
Out of 250 women during our data collection time 246 (98.4%) were our respondents and 4 (1.6%) were non respondents. Among 246 women 213 (86.6%) had good knowledge and 33 (13.4%) had poor knowledge. While 212 (86.2%) had good attitude and 34(13.8%) had poor attitude and 179 (72.8%) had good practice but 67 (27.2%) had poor practice.
Increasing knowledge, attitude and practice of mothers towards institutional delivery plays a key role in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity. However, the prevailing level of KAP towards institutional delivery is not satisfactory. Increasing utilization of institutional delivery by increasing awareness of each community through health information dissemination on importance of institutional delivery is needed.
机构分娩是指在经过培训的医护人员的照护和监督下在医疗机构中分娩，这有助于提高新生儿的存活率并降低产妇死亡率。本研究的目的是评估在有一个或多个孩子且曾到阿杜巴健康中心（埃塞俄比亚东南东南区西阿尔西地区）就诊的育龄妇女中，她们对机构分娩的知识、态度和实践情况。
采用基于机构的横断面研究设计。本研究于 2021 年 5 月 1 日至 30 日在阿杜巴健康中心进行。我们的研究样本量为 250 名至少分娩过一次且曾到阿杜巴健康中心就诊的产妇。采用系统随机抽样方法选择母亲，使用结构化问卷收集数据。最后，使用 SPSS 版本 21 对数据进行分析。
在我们收集数据的过程中，250 名妇女中有 246 名（98.4%）是我们的受访者，4 名（1.6%）是非受访者。在 246 名妇女中，213 名（86.6%）具有良好的知识水平，33 名（13.4%）具有较差的知识水平。212 名（86.2%）具有良好的态度，34 名（13.8%）具有较差的态度，179 名（72.8%）具有良好的实践水平，但 67 名（27.2%）具有较差的实践水平。
提高母亲对机构分娩的知识、态度和实践水平对于降低产妇死亡率和发病率至关重要。然而，目前机构分娩的 KAP 水平并不令人满意。需要通过向每个社区传播关于机构分娩重要性的健康信息来提高社区意识，从而增加机构分娩的利用。
