| Abstract | A facility-based quantitative and qualitative cross-sectional study was conducted in all 134 health centers where The Last Ten Kilometers Project (L10K) implemented its basic emergency obstetrics and newborn care. The study employed 24 data collectors who had good knowledge of the local health system. The enumerators took training for three days with one day dedicated to field training to test actual data collection. Data were collected through interviews with the heads of the health centers and women and their husbands staying at the waiting homes at the time of the survey. To assess services provided by the MWHs as perceived and reflected by pregnant women staying at MWHs, 129 women, out of 137, staying at the homes on the day of the visit were interviewed. Pretested and structured set of questions translated into Amharic, Oromifa, and Tigrigna was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the infrastructure, services offered, and the management of the MWHs. Chi-square (χ2) and t-test with p-value set at 0.05 were used to test the regional variations. Ninety-four (70%) health centers had maternity waiting homes at the time of the survey. Typologies of the waiting homes and their capability of holding clients varied from region to region. |
