Factors influencing the utilization of institutional delivery services by Chepang women in Chitwan district of Nepal

Background: Nepal has not yet achieved less than 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births of the SDG. To reduce the maternal death rates, a safe motherhood program has been implemented across Nepal to provide pregnant women with free delivery care in a healthcare facility, as well as transportation incentives promoting institutional delivery. Being a marginalized group of people residing in hilly slope areas, the Chepang population is deprived of significance usage of healthcare services. Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence of delivery complications, and to investigate the factors associated with the utilization of institutional delivery of the Chepang women in the Chitwan district. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Rapti, Kalika and Ichchhakamana municipalities with a proportional random sample of 557 mothers. A face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire was performed to collect the data. Using stepwise logistic regression analysis, the data were analyzed. Results: The results show that the incidence of delivery complications among those who utilized an institutional delivery was lower than the non-institutional delivery respondents. The literate parents were strongly associated with the increased usage of an institutional delivery (OR=12.08, 95%CI=6.32-23.06), and (OR=5.45, 95%CI=2.82-10.51) for literate mothers and literate spouses, respectively. Other significant factors were older ages at delivery of mothers as compared to younger ages mothers (OR= 3.28, 95%CI=1.83-5.90 for ages 20-29 year.; OR=3.75, 95%CI=1.80-7.83 for ages ≥30 year.), and engagement in business and services occupation of mothers (OR=2.01, 95%CI=1.01-4.01). The associations were observed for vehicle transportation to the delivery facility (OR =1.99, 95% CI =1.28-3.11) and travel time ≤30 minutes to the delivery facility (OR=2.80, 95%CI=1.58-4.96). Conclusions: The results revealed a lower incidence of delivery complications among those who utilized the institutional delivery. The analysis also demonstrated that age, education, income, and convenient access to an institutional delivery facility for mothers were associated with the utilization of institutional delivery of Chepang women.

Fertilities Acceleration (Tempo) and Factors Affecting the First Birth Interval in Iranian Women: A Survival Analysis

Background: A short pregnancy interval (long fertility acceleration (Tempo)) is associated with adverse health and perinatal outcomes, including maternal, child, and neonatal mortality. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the duration and determining factors of first birth intervals among women of reproductive age in Semnan, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the fertility history of 600 married women aged 15 to 49 in Semnan (Iran) was investigated from the list of health centers. Individuals were selected using a multistage sampling method in 2018. Finally, a married woman (15 - 49 years) was selected randomly from each household. Data were obtained by interview questionnaire, calculated tempos, and analyzed with a Cox proportional hazard model. Results: The median (first – third quartile) time of first birth intervals and age of women and men at the first marriage were estimated to be 24.0 (12 - 44) months, 20 (18 - 23), and 25 (22 - 28) years, respectively. The lowest estimated tempo was for third births (68.63 months), and the highest was for the 1st (26 months). Among explanatory variables of interest, the number of children expected, the father's age at the first marriage, the mother's occupation, and the desire to have children were significant predictors of the first birth intervals. Conclusions: Due to the decrease in the number of births in the past several years and also the prediction of a decrease in the coming years, one of the ways to reduce the birth interval and, as a result, increase the fertility rate is to reduce the age of marriage among young people and in general to marry on time among young people, as well as to control inflation and reduce the cost of having children.
