To assess the magnitude and factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) among pregnant women in Humbo district, Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 1 to 30, 2020. A total of 506 pregnant women were randomly selected and interviewed using a questionnaire. Data were entered using EpiData version 4.6.0, and analysis was made using SPSS version 24. An adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated.
The magnitude of BPCR in the Humbo district was 26.0%. The odds of being prepared for birth and its complications were higher among women who had a history of obstetric complications (aOR 2.77; 95% CI 1.18-6.52), participated in pregnant women's conferences (aOR 3.84; 95% CI 2.13-6.93), received advice on BPCR (aOR 2.39; 95% CI 1.36-4.22), and were knowledgeable on labor and childbirth danger signs (aOR 2.64; 95% CI 1.55-4.49).
The magnitude of birth preparedness and complication readiness was low in the study area. The healthcare provider should encourage the women to participate in conferences and provide continuous counseling during their prenatal care visits.
评估埃塞俄比亚沃莱塔州洪博区孕妇的分娩准备和并发症应对（BPCR）情况及相关因素。
于2020年8月1日至30日开展了一项基于社区的横断面研究。共随机选取506名孕妇，使用问卷进行访谈。数据录入EpiData 4.6.0版本，分析采用SPSS 24版本。计算调整后的比值比（aOR）及95%置信区间（CI）。
洪博区的BPCR水平为26.0%。有产科并发症史的女性（aOR 2.77；95% CI 1.18 - 6.52）、参加过孕妇会议的女性（aOR 3.84；95% CI 2.13 - 6.93）、接受过BPCR建议的女性（aOR 2.39；95% CI 1.36 - 4.22）以及了解分娩和产时危险信号的女性（aOR 2.64；95% CI 1.55 - 4.49），其分娩及并发症应对的几率更高。
研究区域内的分娩准备和并发症应对水平较低。医疗服务提供者应鼓励女性参加会议，并在产前检查时提供持续的咨询服务。
