Abstract
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the level of birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) and associated factors among semi-pastoral pregnant women in southern, Ethiopia.ResultThis dataset contains the full data collected from 746 pregnant women. Birth preparedness and complication readiness among women in southern Ethiopia was 27.1%. The main predictors for BRCP were attending formal education (AOR = 4.65, 95% CI 2.45–8.63), husband occupation [merchant (AOR = 3.83, 95% CI 1.52–9.64)], spouse attending formal education (AOR = 3.35, 95% CI (1.83–6.14), ANC visits > 4 times (AOR = 17.78, 95% CI 7.11–44.47). In addition, knowledge of women at least two danger signs during pregnancy, delivery and after delivery (AOR = 3.32, 95% CI 1.64–6.69), (AOR = 3.13, 95% CI 1.58–6.20) and (AOR = 3.75, 95% CI 1.93–7.28) respectively were significantly associated with BPCR. In conclusion, the proportion of BPCR among women in southern Ethiopia was found to be low.

ResultThis dataset contains the full data collected from 746 pregnant women
Maternal mortality rate (MMR) remains a global public health concern especially in developing countries [1]
Factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) Binary logistic regression showed that BPCR practice has a significant association with education status of pregnant women, educational and occupational status of their spouse, the frequency of the antenatal care (ANC) is visiting as well as, knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy, labour and post-partum
Summary
Socio‐demographic characteristics of respondents A total of 746 pregnant women were interviewed. Knowledge of danger signs Regarding about knowledge on key danger signs during pregnancy showed that 198 (26.5%) and 158 (21.2%) of the study participants were aware of vaginal bleeding and severe fatigue respectively. Factors associated with BPCR Binary logistic regression showed that BPCR practice has a significant association with education status of pregnant women, educational and occupational status of their spouse, the frequency of the ANC is visiting as well as, knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy, labour and post-partum. The Multivariate logistic regression showed that BPCR was a significant association with variable like to attend formal education (AOR = 4.65, 95% CI 2.49–8.63), employment (AOR = 2.76 95% CI 1.10–5.54), merchant husbands (AOR = 3.83, 95% CI 1.52–9.64), the spouse with formal education (AOR = 3.35, 95% CI 1.83– 6.14), ANC Visit more (Table 3)
