Popis: IntroductionGlobally, 11 million children have died before reaching their fifth birthday. The introduction of the Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) protocol reduces the morbidity and mortality rates among children under the age of 5. However, the share of neonatal mortality is increasing. As a result, the United Nations has established sustainable development goals to reduce national neonatal death rates through the utilization of the Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness protocol as the main tool for 12 per 1,000 live births by 2030. However, the death rate from preventable causes has increased owing to the low utilization of the protocol.ObjectiveThe objective of this research is to assess the utilization of the IMNCI protocol and associated factors among healthcare workers (HCW) in health centers at the South Gondar Zone, Northwest Ethiopia, in 2022.MethodsThe institution-based mixed study design was conducted from November to December 2022 at the South Gondar Zone, Amhara. A total of 422 HCW were selected using a computer-generated random-number generator. Data were cleaned and entered into EpiData 3.1 software and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Binary logistic regression was used to identify candidates for multivariable logistic analysis with p-value
