In taking effective steps to minimize the caesarean section rate and the issues associated with it, it would be useful to examine the determinants of instrumental deliveries and their key indications. Therefore, this study aimed to determine magnitude and related factors of non-spontaneous vaginal delivery.Methods: Facility-based analytical cross-sectional study design was used. A total sample size of 383 was used. All mothers who gave birth during data collection period and fulfill inclusion criteria were included in the study. Interviewer-administered data collection method was used. Data were entered in Epi-data and exported to SPSS to analyze both descriptive and advanced analysis.Results: About 24.4% of mothers’ mode of delivery was non-spontaneous vaginal delivery. Those mothers whose occupation was housewives were 2.8 times more likely to give birth through non-spontaneous vaginal delivery than mothers whose occupation was teachers (AOR = 2.8 95% CI 1.103– 7.261). Mothers with grand multipara were less likely to give birth through non-spontaneous vaginal delivery than nulliparous (AOR = 0.10 95% CI 0.022– 0.468) and primipara (AOR = 0.17 95% CI 0.041– 0.671). Mothers with complications during pregnancy were 3 times more likely to give birth via non-spontaneous vaginal delivery than mothers without complications during pregnancy. Mothers with non-macrosomic neonates and female neonatal sex were less likely experiencing to give birth through non-spontaneous vaginal delivery as compared to their respective reference groups.Conclusion: Magnitude of non-spontaneous vaginal delivery was high in this study. Being a housewife, having complications during pregnancy, nullipara and primipara, macrosomic fetus and male neonate were associated with outcome variable. Attention should be given for the housewives, experiencing complication during pregnancy, a fetus with big weight and male neonatal sex in order to minimize risks of non-spontaneous delivery.Keywords: non-spontaneous vaginal delivery, Wachemo University, delivery, South Ethiopia |
