| dc.description.abstract | Although the utilization of antenatal care services has increased in Ethiopia, the majority of mothers still do not use the minimum of four visits and the six basic ANC services that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends. As a result, the study's goal was to look into the demographic and socio-economic factors that influence how often antenatal care services are used in Burayu, Oromia, Ethiopia. About 422 mothers who had children within the previous five years were the subject of a cross-sectional study. SPSS version 23 was used to enter the data. The factors influencing the outcome variables were identified using binary logistic regression, multivariate logistic regression models. Accordingly, 61.8% of the 422 mothers who participated in the study attended four or more ANC visits. Women who started their antenatal care visits earlier, women's occupation, household income, healthcare providers who saw the women during those visits, and family support all had higher odds of receiving at least 4+ visits compared to the reference categories in a multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors determining the frequency of ANC visits. Their respective odds ratios were women who were early starters of ANC visit (AOR =16.031; 95%CI: 3.088-83.228), working women’s (AOR = 2.548, 95% CI: 1.445–4.494), household income (AOR = 1.901; 95% CI: 1.011–3.575), professionals who saw women during antenatal care visits (AOR=9.063; 95%CI: 1.118-73.788), family support (AOR=2.846; 95%CI: .989-8.186). In Burayu town, there have been moderate and severely low levels of compliance with the minimum suggested ANC visit (4+ visits). To raise women' knowledge of the value of antenatal care and to enhance the scope and substance of ANC services in Burayu, health promotion activities are essential. | |
