“…A study also found maternal education among women was the important independent factors in determining the place of delivery in Nepal (Bolam et al 1998). Yanagisawa et al (2006) also documented that woman who had at least 7 years of school attendance being six times more likely to deliver babies at a health facility than those who did not attend. Wealth quintiles and sociocultural factors play a major role in the choice of place of delivery.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between provision of maternal care services and its differentials. The study used data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys. The analysis revealed that the socio-economic status of women has positive impact on the likelihood of seeking antenatal care and delivering birth at a health facility. Women who have secondary and above education, the preference of facility delivery was also high. The likelihood of preferring private sector relative to public sector for delivery care has been increasing over time. The women of richest quintile are 3.5 times more likely to prefer delivery at public facility relative to home than the poorest quintile. The women with secondary and above education are 4 times more likely to deliver their child birth at public facility relative to home. This paper concludes that more attention should be given to the determinants of reproductive health, associated with their interactions such as service provision to reduce maternal morbidity and to achieve the MDG for maternal mortality.

“…At the individual level, social and demographic factors, such as wealth and education, are important in the power relationships between partners and more directly in determining use of health services (11)(12)(13). At the household level, partner communication and type of relationship also influence the use and perceptions of services.…”

This study investigated how partners' perceptions of the healthcare system influence decisions about delivery-location in low-resource settings. A multistage population-representative sample was used in Kasulu district, Tanzania, to identify women who had given birth in the last five years and their partners. Of 826 couples in analysis, 506 (61.3%) of the women delivered in the home. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with delivery in a health facility were agreement of partners on the importance of delivering in a health facility and agreement that skills of doctors are better than those of traditional birth attendants. When partners disagreed, the opinion of the woman was more influential in determining delivery-location. Agreement of partners regarding perceptions about the healthcare system appeared to be an important driver of decisions about delivery-location. These findings suggest that both partners should be included in the decision-making process regarding delivery to raise rates of delivery at facility.

“…A study in Bangladesh found that 74% of women with more than ten years of education used skilled birth attendants during delivery compared to 18% who are un educated who used unskilled attendants (Anwar et al 2007) [16] . Yanagisawa in Rural Cambodia also found the same where by women who at least seven years of school attendance being six times more likely to deliver babies at health facility than those who did not attend school (Yanagisawa 2006) [17] . In this study women with secondary and above education delivered in health facilities compared with 3.1% of the women who had no formal education and used unskilled attendants.…”

The study also found that 83.1% (858/1033) of women who attended antenatal clinic 4 plus delivered in health facilities while 35.5% (367/1033) of those who did not attend antenatal clinic 4 plus delivered at home, although percentage of delivery in health facility in this study is higher than that of national level of 44% (KDHS 08-09) [8] , the relationship between delivery assistant and frequency of antenatal visit was strongly significant as those who attended [17] , in Cambodia found that antenatal care was a positive determinant of facility delivery only for women who attended the service four times or more (Yanagisawa et al 2006) [17] . This might be due to the fact that during antenatal clinic visits, especially if started early, women are provided with health education and information about the benefits of delivering in health facility.…”

Maternal and child mortalities can be reduced if all women deliveries are attended by trained and skilled birth attendants that can provide Emergency obstetric care. Community health strategy has been put in place as an intervention to reduce maternal mortalities. In the urban slum of Kisumu a third (34.7%) mothers still use unskilled attendant. This study set out to investigate characteristic of households with women using unskilled birth attendants in urban slum of Nyalenda, kisumu, Kenya. The study was comparative in design in which all the households with women who used unskilled attendants during their last delivery included in the study as cases, next nearest, neighboring households with women who used skilled attendants in the last delivery, included as controls, at a ratio of 1:1. Therefore, a total of 1033 cases and 1033 controls were analyzed with a total sample of 2066 as valid cases. The study showed age group 35 and above was higher among the mothers using unskilled delivery (14%) as compared to those using skilled attendants (10.3%), while mothers who had secondary and above level of education were less likely to have unskilled birth attendant odds ratio (OR) = 0.420 (95% CI=0.257-0.685) as compared to mothers with primary level of education OR= 0.552 (95% CI=0.470-0.649). Based on the study results, the odds ratio showed minimal difference on the household characteristic with only individual characteristic showing some significant results on, age, education level and ante natal clinic (ANC). The study found that older mothers do not go for skilled attendance, despite the fact that most young mothers go for skilled attendance, it is a concern that the older mothers who should attend skilled delivery tend not to go yet they are a risk factor in terms of delivery and childbirth, and hence they need to use maternity health care services from skilled health personnel.
