Institutional delivery and associated factors among women in Ghana: findings from a 2017–2018 multiple indicator cluster survey
Tóm tắt
Institutional delivery is essential in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. We investigated the prevalence of institutional delivery and associated factors among women in Ghana.
National representative data from the 2017–2018 Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey was used for the analysis. The study included 3466 women, ages 15–49 y, who had a live birth in the last 2 y. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the prevalence of institutional delivery while multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between our variables of interest and institutional delivery.
The prevalence of institutional delivery among women in Ghana was 77.89% (95% confidence interval [CI] 75.29 to 80.50). High-income households (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.13 [95% CI 1.36 to 3.35]), attending antenatal care at least four times (aOR 2.37 [95% CI 1.54 to 3.65]) and knowing one's human immunodeficiency virus status (aOR 1.41 [95% CI 1.08 to 1.84]) were associated with higher odds of institutional delivery. Living in rural areas (aOR 0.43 [95% CI 0.27 to 0.67]), multiparity (aOR 0.59 [95% CI 0.41 to 0.85]) and no health insurance (aOR 0.57 [95% CI 0.44 to 0.74]) were associated with lower odds of institutional delivery.
The government of Ghana may need to focus on increasing health insurance utilization and antenatal care attendance in order to increase the coverage of institutional delivery.
