Abstract Background Despite legislation and intervention programmes, the rates of maternal and child mortality in Nigeria remain high. Sustainable development goals on mother and child mortality would be a mirage if this continues. The study investigated the autonomy of women (women’s decision-making autonomy) and the use of maternal health-care services in Nigeria. Methods Secondary data obtained from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, 2018 were used in this investigation. Women who indicated they gave birth in the five-year before the surveys were considered in the study. The association between autonomy of women and maternal health-care utilization was studied using binary logistic regression models. Results In total, about one-fifth of the women (19.6%) indicated they had at least eight ANC visits for their most recent birth. Overall, 40.5% of the women gave birth in a health institution, and 20.1% went for postnatal checkups. The use of health-care services was significantly related to the autonomy of women. Women’s and husbands/partners’ educational levels, residency and ethnicity were socio-demographic characteristics that influenced women’s healthcare service consumption. Conclusions For most recent childbirth, most women did not utilise the health-care services in Nigeria. To enhance the autonomy of women and, as a result, maternal health-care services use in Nigeria, effective interventions, policies, and programmes are required. |
