Person-centered maternity care and associated factors among women who give birth at public hospitals in South Gondar zone, North West Ethiopia, 2023
The mean score of PCMC was low in the study area compared to studies done in low- and middle-income countries. Highest wealth, 3-4 health providers present during labor and delivery, had no history of facility delivery, and had two-day lengths of stay at hospitals were predictors for PCMC. Therefore, strengthening facility delivery and promoting hospital stays for more than a day as a part of first postnatal care is paramount for increasing PCMC.
