Abstract:
Background & aim

 Respectful and non-abused maternal healthcare services can reduce maternal and child mortality rate. However, there is a scarcity of evidence on status of maternal health services. Therefore, this study aimed to assess maternal disrespect and abuse during maternal health service.

Methods

 An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among 415 post-partum mothers from March 1st to May 30th, 2020.  A stratified random sampling technique was used to select participants. Data were collected using a structured pretested questionnaire, entered into Epi-Data version 3.1, and then exported to SPSS version 20 software for analysis with descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results

 The study revealed that 49.6% (95% (CI: 44.7–55.0)) of mothers experienced disrespect and abuse during receiving care. Non-confidential care (49.9%), unconsented care (35.8%), and delayed care (28.7%) were the most frequently mentioned disrespects and abuses. Being uneducated (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13 0.75), having ANC visits (AOR = 0.19, 0.07 0.52), hospital delivery (AOR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.18.97), staying more than12 hours in health facility (AOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.13.01), having birth complications (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.52.28), and instrumental delivery (AOR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.62, 4.65) were predictors of disrespect and abus care.

Conclusion

 Maternal disrespect and abuse was common during maternal healthcare services. To decrease maternal and child mortality, providing respectful and non-abused maternal healthcare and safeguarding women’s fundamental rights during facility delivery is necessary.
