The Utilization of Health Service Packages Among Mothers of Children Less Than 1 Year of Age in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.

Abstract:

:Health Service Package is the package of services that the government is providing or is aspiring to provide to its citizens in an equitable manner. The Ethiopia Family Health Service Package is part of the health extension program consisting of antenatal care, delivery service, postnatal care, immunization, and family planning. This package facilitates the utilization of maternal, neonatal and child health services and contributes to the reduction of maternal and child mortality. However, there is no data on the utilization of this package in pastoralist societies. This study aimed to assess the utilization of the Family Health Service Package and associated factors among mothers of children less than 1-year-old. From February 18-March 6, 2017 we conducted a community-based cross-sectional study with 421 mothers who gave birth in the last year in the Afdem district of the Somali region in Ethiopia. Mothers who gave birth between January 1/2016 to January 1/2017 in the district were selected by systematic random sampling. The study analysis included descriptive and bivariate statistics and multivariate logistic regression model. The overall utilization of the package was 25.1% (95% CI of 21.1-29.5%). Factors associated significantly with family health service utilization were urban place of residence [(AOR 95% CI) = 3.8 (1.5-9.9)], mother visited by health extension workers [(AOR (95% CI) = 3.1 (1.6-6.3)] and mothers participation in health extension program activities [(AOR (95% CI) = 2.8 (1.5-5.4)]. The utilization of the Family Health Service Package was low. Mothers visited by health extension workers and participated in the health extension program were more likely to utilize family health services. It needs to expand services beyond urban areas and involve rural mothers in health extension program activities.
