Background/Aims Institutional birth and skilled birth attendants are two important elements of preventing maternal and newborn deaths. In Ethiopia, despite improved health access, many women give birth without skilled assistance. This study was conducted to identify barriers to institutional childbirth in the Jimma Zone, Ethiopia. Methods An exploratory qualitative case study was conducted, incorporating 16 focus group discussions and 18 in-depth interviews carried out in the Jimma Zone, Ethiopia in 2019. The participants were purposefully recruited and included members of the Women's Development Army, religious leaders, health extension workers, midwifery nurses, primary healthcare unit directors and women of reproductive age. Data were transcribed and translated into English and thematically analysed. Results Five themes emerged from the data: knowledge gaps, beliefs about pregnancy and childbirth, poor access to healthcare services, lack of resources and poor community involvement in institutional childbirth. Conclusions Healthcare services should be aware of local beliefs and cultural norms when encouraging the use of institutional childbirth services. The Ministry of Health must ensure that all services are equipped with adequate resources, both in terms of medical supplies and staff. |
