Obstetric analgesia utilization in labor pain management and associated factors among obstetric care providers in the West Shewa Zone, Central Ethiopia.

Abstract

Labor pain is the worst pain that almost every woman experiences during childbirth. Labor pain management plays a crucial role in promoting maternal-wellbeing, contributing enormously to maternal satisfaction with the childbirth experience and the high quality of services. Although there have been previous studies, they have primarily been conducted at referral or general hospitals located in urban settings. Thus, this study aimed to assess the utilization of labor pain analgesia and associated factors among obstetric care providers at all levels of health facilities in central Ethiopia.
