Magnitude and associated factors of disrespect and abusive care among laboring mothers at public health facilities in Borena District, South Wollo, Ethiopia

Abstract

The results showed that wealth index, type of health facility, presence of companion(s), and birth complications were found to be significant factors. Therefore, health personnel need to develop interventions that integrate provider's behavior on companionship and prevention of complications across facilities to reduce the impact of disrespectful and abusive care for laboring women.
