Cultural Malpractices and Associated Factors Among Mothers Attending Postnatal Care Within Six Weeks After Delivery at Gelemso General Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia
This study noted that more than two-thirds of participants committed cultural malpractice during the postnatal period. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of ANC follow-up, and encouraging home visits of postnatal mothers by professionals especially for those rural residents and remoter to health facilities may contribute to reducing the cultural malpractice.
