Abstract

The postnatal period is defined as the first six weeks after birth; it is critical to the health and survival. The study was conducted to determine the key factors of maternal postnatal care using Bayesian multilevel analysis using 7,192 mothers aged between 15-49 of EDHS 2016 data. Descriptive statistics revealed that 675 (9.4%) women received postnatal care. The Bayesian multilevel model used to analyze postnatal care utilization of woman. The predictor variables like mother's age, region, place of residence, media exposure, religion, wealth index, parents' education level, and mothers' occupation were found to be significant determinants of variation in women postnatal care utilization in Ethiopia. The Bayesian multilevel logistic regression analysis also estimates the variance of random effect at the regional level. Thus, the value of var (u0j) = δ2= 0.127 is significant at the 5% level of significance. In order to convey policies, it is important not only to comprehend the effect of reforms on the issues, but also on the how it diverges with demographic and economic characteristics.

Data And Methodology

Ethiopia is the second most populous country in sub-Saharan Africa administratively, divided into nine geographical regions and two administrative cities.The sampling frame used for the EDHS is the Ethiopia Population and Housing Census (PHC), which was conducted in by the Ethiopia Central Statistical Agency (CSA). The census frame is a complete list of enumeration areas (EAs) created for the PHC. An EA is a geographic area covering an average of households. The sampling frame contains information about the EA location, type of residence (urban or rural), and estimated number of residential households. With the exception of EAs in zones of the Somali region, each EA has accompanying cartographic materials. The data analysis of determinants of maternal Postnatal care in Ethiopia centered on the secondary data obtained from the EDHS (2016) which was implemented by the Central Statistical Agency (CSA) from January 18, 2016, to June 27, 2016.
