Abstract

Background

Reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is a high priority public health issue in developing countries such as Indonesia. The current MMR in Indonesia is 126/100,000 live births. Optimum use of available healthcare facilities for delivery can avert maternal deaths. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with healthcare facility utilization for childbirth in Kuantan Singingi regency, Riau province, Indonesia 2017.

Methods

We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study in 15 sub-districts of Kuantan Singingi regency from May–June 2017. We selected 320 mothers from 15 sub-districts who delivered in the last 3 months (February–April 2017). Trained data enumerators collected the relevant data by using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. We used Cox regression analysis to determine the factors associated with delivery at healthcare facilities. Prevalence Ratio (PR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for childbirth at healthcare facilities was the key outcome measure.

Results

Only 54.4% (174) of the 320 mothers delivered at healthcare facilities. Knowledge about pregnancy danger signs (PR = 1.59, 95%CI:1.15–2.2), attitude towards healthcare services (PR = 0.79, 95%CI:0.33–1.89), and access to health care services (PR = 0.39, 95%CI:0.18–0.84) were the dominant factors of childbirth at healthcare facilities. There was an interaction between attitude and access to healthcare influencing delivery at healthcare facilities.

Conclusions

Utilization of healthcare facilities for childbirth was low in Kuantan Singingi regency. Knowledge of pregnancy danger signs was an independent correlate of childbirth at healthcare facilities. Also, the interaction between attitude and access to healthcare showed a significant influence on childbirth at healthcare facilities. We recommend strengthening of existing maternal and child health program with a particular emphasis on complete and quality antenatal care, health education on danger signs of pregnancy and childbirth, and promoting positive attitudes towards healthcare facilities.

Peer Review reports

Background

Reducing Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is the biggest challenge in developing countries. In 2015, the estimated global MMR was 216 per 100,000 live births, with a total of 303,000 maternal deaths [1]. Approximately 99% of the global maternal deaths are reported from developing regions [2]. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for 66 and 22% of the global maternal deaths, respectively [2]. Indonesia, with an MMR of 126 per 100,000 live births (2010–15), is one of 39 countries that are categorized as making progress in reducing maternal deaths [2, 3]. This figure is still far from the MMR target (70 per 1,00,000 live births) of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-2030. Most of the maternal deaths are attributed to complications of childbirth [4]. In addition to maternal mortality, high neonatal mortality is seen in primiparous mothers with complications of childbirth [5]. Complications of childbirth occur due to delays in three phases (delays in seeking healthcare, reaching the healthcare facility, and in receiving adequate care at the point of service). Delivering at a health facility can be achieved by avoiding the first and second phases of these delays [6, 7].

In 2000, the government strengthened its strategy and intervention in reducing MMR through ‘Making Pregnancy Safer’ (MPS). MPS is one of the strategies focusing on the provision and consolidation of maternal health services. MPS strategies are implemented through midwives in villages, midwife partnerships with Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA), and provision of delivery services at all Primary Health Centers (PHCs) [8]. Over the past three decades, Indonesia has made progress in improving maternal health. The proportion of deliveries at healthcare facilities increased from 63% (2007–12) to 70.4% (2010–13) [3, 9].

Riau province is located in the central part of Sumatra, Indonesia, with a population of about 6 million [Fig. 1]. Riau consists of ten regencies and two autonomous cities. The proportion of deliveries at healthcare facilities in Riau province (63%) is lower than the national average [9]. Kuantan Singingi regency is located in Riau province, which is also experiencing improvement in the maternal health program. Skilled birth attendance and delivery at healthcare facilities in this district in 2016 were 85 and 62%, respectively [10]. However, the proportion of deliveries at health facilities was lower than the Ministry of Health strategic plan target of 81% [10, 11].

Factors influencing the utilization of health services can be divided into predisposing, enabling, and need factors [12]. Predisposing factors are maternal age, occupation, attitudes toward healthcare services, knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy, education, and parity [13,14,15]. Enabling factors are health insurance, socioeconomic status, access to health care, and frequency of antenatal visits [13,14,15]. Need factors are perceptions about risks of pregnancy and childbirth, the presence of danger signs of pregnancy and childbirth, and comorbidities in pregnancy [14]. Previous studies have shown an association of above-said factors with the place of delivery [6, 16, 17]. Determining the factors associated with delivery at healthcare facilities would help in fine-tuning of ongoing maternal health interventions in the local setting.

Objective

To determine the factors associated with healthcare facility utilization for childbirth in Kuantan Singingi regency, Riau province, Indonesia 2017.

Methods

Study design and setting

We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study in 15 sub-districts of Kuantan Singingi regency, Riau province, Indonesia from May–June 2017 [Fig. 1]. Kuantan Singingi regency is located in Sumatra island of Indonesia, with a total population of 2.92 million. It consists of 15 sub-districts. The public health infrastructure consists of 25 PHCs (six with Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Service, known as PONED), one hospital with Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Service is known as PONEK, three maternity units, one Mother and Child Hospital and 52 private clinics. PONED PHC to population ratio was 0.95 per 100,000 (standard 1:100,000 population), and midwives to population ratio was 112 per 100,000 (standard 100 per 100,000 population).

Sample size

We estimated the sample size by using the formula for two independent proportions. Based on the reported 50% of the women who delivered at healthcare facilities had high education, an expected response rate of 90%, and a design effect of 1.1, the study required a total sample size of 314 to achieve a power of 80% for detecting a difference in proportions of 17% at a two-sided p-value of 0.05 [14, 18, 19].

Inclusion criteria

We included all the women aged 15–54 years residing in Kuantan Singingi regency and had delivered (irrespective of the place of delivery) in the last 3 months (February–April 2017).

Sampling

All the mothers who delivered in the last 3 months in 15 sub-districts formed the sampling frame. We obtained a sub-district wise list of mothers who delivered within 3months (between February and April 2017) from village midwives. The list included all the women irrespective of whether she availed any health service and place of delivery. The samples were drawn from each sub-district based on the proportion probability to size [20]. We selected the first woman by simple random sampling. Subsequently, we included all the consecutive enlisted mothers until the required number was achieved for the sub-district.

Data collection

We conducted this study in collaboration with the heads of PHCs and facilitated by the District health office Kuantan Singingi. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect relevant data. To validate the primary data, we used data from the Mother, and Children Health book or maternal cohort register with village midwife. We trained the data enumerators and supervisors, with a minimum education of bachelor of health, for data collection. Twenty-four data enumerators and six supervisors were trained for 2 days in Pekanbaru City, Riau province, Indonesia. Training included the following: introducing themselves to participants, explaining the purpose of the study, obtaining the written informed consent, interview technique, filling the responses in the questionnaire, interview practice, and supervision.

Operational definitions

Healthcare facility for childbirth was defined as delivery at a government hospital, private hospital, PHC, doctor’s practice, midwife practice, or village maternity post [21]. Delivery at village health post or home with a midwife and/or TBA was considered as non-healthcare facility delivery. In Indonesia, a midwife is a woman who has graduated from a midwifery college, registered, and has a license to practice midwifery. TBA is a person who assists a woman during childbirth and acquired skills by conducting deliveries herself or through apprenticeship to other TBA.

Age of the mother was categorized as low risk (20–35 years) and high risk (< 20 years or > 35 years) for childbirth [22]. The highest level of formal education completed by the mother was categorized as basic (no schooling, elementary school, or junior high school) and senior high school/above [23].

Mothers’ occupation was classified as employed (civil servants, military, police, private, self-employed, farmers, and others) and unemployed [24].

We prepared a questionnaire to assess the mothers’ attitudes towards healthcare services. We tested the questionnaire for validity and reliability on 30 participants in Kampar regency, Indonesia, whose socio-demographic and cultural profile was similar to the study district. Of the 22 questions, responses to four questions were invalid, and the overall reliability of the questionnaire was high (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.974). Attitude scores were estimated for the degree of tendency to approach, like, expectation or tendency to stay away from, avoid, hate, and dislike antenatal care and delivery at healthcare facilities [25]. Attitude was categorized as positive (score ≥ mean/median) and negative (score < mean/median). Knowledge of pregnancy danger signs (vaginal bleeding, high fever, convulsions, baby in the wrong position, swelling of the feet/hands/face, fainting, difficulty in breathing, and excessive tiredness) was assessed by scoring [9]. It was categorized as good (score ≥ mean/median) and poor (score < mean/median).

Ownership of health insurance was defined as the availability of health protection for mothers to benefit health care and protection in meeting basic health needs provided to those who have paid contributions or fees paid by the government [26]. As described in RISKESDAS, we used eight binomial variables for ownership of valuable goods to construct economic status indices using principal component analysis, tetrachoric and polychoric correlation [9]. Economic status was categorized as high (3rd-5th quintile of the study sample) and low (1st-2nd quintile of the study sample).

Using RISKESDAS questionnaire, we assessed access to health services according to the presence of nearby healthcare facilities, travel time, mode of transport used, transport cost, and ease of transportation [9]. It was categorized as easy (score ≥ mean/median) and difficult (score < mean/median). Antenatal care was considered as complete if the mother had at least four antenatal visits (first within 3 months, second between four and 6 months, twice between seven and 9 months) during pregnancy [27]. Perceived risk of pregnancy and childbirth was assessed according to the respondent's immediate response to the harmful outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth [28]. It was categorized as high (score ≥ mean/median) and low (score < mean/median).

Presence of danger signs of pregnancy (vaginal bleeding, high fever, convulsions, baby in wrong position, swelling of the feet/hands/face, fainting, difficulty in breathing, excessive tiredness) and childbirth (bleeding, convulsions, and or bleeding diagnosis, severe preeclampsia, premature rupture of membranes) were assessed and scored. Mother was categorized as high (score ≥ cut of point Receiver Operating Characteristic, ROC) and low risk (score < cut of point ROC) [27, 29, 30]. Presence of comorbidity in pregnancy, such as malaria, pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma, diabetes mellitus, severe anemia, urinary tract infections, have experienced events that resulted in injury so that daily activities are disrupted were noted [31].

Statistical analysis

We used STATA® version 12 for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used for categorical and continuous variables [32, 33]. Univariate analysis was done by Chi-square test and prevalence ratio (PR) with 95% confidence interval at a significance limit (α) of 5% [33, 34]. Multivariate analysis was done using a modified Cox Proportional Hazard Regression (cox regression). We used PR in modified cox regression as the prevalence of the outcome was > 10%. In modified cox regression, the timing of the selection of the delivery place was considered as constant or at the same time. Survival time in cox regression was determined by the same number (i.e., 1) with an assumption that the choice of delivery place occurs on the day of the interview. The required PR score for this study was adjusted for Hazard Ratio (HR) resulting from the Cox test since HR was the outcome in the exposed and unexposed groups [35].

All the study variables with p ≤ 0.25 on univariate analysis were considered into a multivariable model. The possible effects of modification/interaction of variables into the model were examined. The modified/interaction effect assessment should have a meaningful p-value with the important interaction variable to be included in the model. We assessed the interaction by entering one by one variable that was suspected of having interaction in the initial model. An initial Hierarchically Well Formulated Model (HWF Model) or most complete model was created. In the HWF model (full model), variable having p value> 0.05 was eliminated, starting from the largest p-value. The result of this modeling is a reduced model. Based on the Log LR (Likelihood Ratio) test, the variable was considered not significant and not included in the model if the LR > 3.8. The final model was described based on the final test results and interaction of dependent and independent variables.

Ethical approval

Ethical Commissions of Research and Community Service, Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia, Indonesia approved the study (275/UN2.F10/PPM.00.02/2017). Trained data enumerators obtained the written informed consent from the study participants for voluntary participation. Informed consent was taken from the parent or legal guardian if the woman aged < 18 years. Investigators followed the ethical principles of Helsinki Declaration-2013 and International Ethical Guidelines for Epidemiological Studies [36, 37].

Results

We approached 320 eligible mothers, and all of them participated in the study. Their mean age (±SD) was 28 (±5.75) years. Table 1 shows the mothers’ key socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics. Of the 320 mothers, 174 (54.38, 95%CI: 48.8–59.9%) delivered at healthcare facilities. Private hospitals (77, 24.1%) and midwife practice (57, 17.8%) were the preferred places of delivery. Nearly two-thirds (63% and overall 28.8%) of the non-healthcare deliveries were conducted at home by midwife [Table 2].

Table 3 shows the association of various study variables with childbirth at healthcare facilities. The following factors had a significant association (p < 0.05) with childbirth at healthcare facilities: maternal education, maternal employment, attitudes towards healthcare services, knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy, complete antenatal care visits, access to health care, and perceived risk of pregnancy, and childbirth.

In multivariate analysis, an initial model was prepared with all the variables with p < 0.25 on bivariate analysis, and interaction assessment was done by forward entry. The following nine variables were included in the initial model: maternal education, maternal employment, attitudes towards healthcare services, knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy, health insurance, complete antenatal care visits, access to health care, and perceived risk of pregnancy and childbirth.

Table 4 shows the final model by backward elimination for determinants of childbirth at healthcare facilities. Good knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy (PR:1.59, 95%CI:1.15–2.2) and access to healthcare services (PR:0.39, 95%CI:0.18–0.84) were the determinants of childbirth at healthcare facilities in Kuantan Singingi regency, Indonesia.

In this research, there was an interaction between attitude and access to healthcare services, so its PR value cannot be interpreted directly, but through some calculation phases [Table 5]. Based on the calculation of interaction PR, mothers who had easy access to healthcare were more likely to choose healthcare facilities for childbirth irrespective of their attitudes (positive/negative) towards healthcare facilities when compared to mothers who had a negative attitude and difficult access (reference group). When compared to the reference group, mothers with difficult access to the healthcare facility and positive attitude towards healthcare facilities were more likely to deliver at the non-healthcare facility.

Discussion

In Kuantan Singingi regency, the utilization of healthcare facilities for childbirth was much lower than the Ministry of Health’s strategic plan target of 81% [10, 11]. A qualitative research in Tangerang district, Banten, Indonesia, reported that mothers were more comfortable to deliver at home in the presence of family members, who provide support during delivery. Mothers choose TBA as a birth attendant due to customary use of TBA services [38]. Similar qualitative studies in Kuantan Singingi regency could help to understand the reasons for preference for home deliveries.

Among the deliveries at healthcare facilities, every fourth and sixth woman delivered at private hospitals and midwife practice, respectively. Previous studies in Indonesia reported that the type of healthcare facility was chosen based on the proximity, infrastructure, skilled personnel, previous experience of parents, and in-laws [28, 39]. Similar factors may have played a role in deciding the type of health facility for delivery in this study.

In Indonesia, TBA (known as ‘Dukun beranak’) is also very popular for conducting deliveries. However, these do not have any medical expertise, and their role is restricted (by the Ministry of Health) to support the mothers. A midwife or medical personnel should conduct the delivery. Ministry of Health developed a partnership program between TBAs and midwives so that TBAs act as a link between the healthcare system and community [40]. TBA is expected to mentor pregnant women for full antenatal care, delivery at healthcare facility, escort her to midwife for delivery and care of the newborn. In the study setting, there is a need for re-orientation and capacity building of midwives and TBAs to enhance childbirth at healthcare facilities.

Various studies across the globe have studied the association between childbirth at healthcare facilities and maternal factors such as age, education status, employment status, and parity [7, 13, 41,42,43,44,45]. In this study, none of these showed significant association with childbirth at healthcare facilities.

Previous studies from Indonesia and Ghana have reported the positive impact of health insurance on the utilization of healthcare facilities for delivery [13, 46]. In 2014, Indonesia launched a national health insurance scheme (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN). It aims to provide universal health coverage to the entire Indonesian population by 2019. In this study, almost half of the mothers had health insurance. However, there was no association between health insurance and the utilization of healthcare facilities for childbirth. Whether it was a serendipitous finding or issues such as out-of-pocket expenditure, poor implementation, or acceptability of JKN, etc. needs further exploration.

Lower utilization of existing healthcare facilities by economically poor mothers has been consistent in previous studies from Indonesia, Thailand, other Asian countries, Africa, and Latin America [13, 47,48,49]. However, this was not significant in this study, although 51.6% of the mothers were from a low economic background. This could be attributed to improved use of healthcare services by the poor in the regency or methodological differences in assessing the economic status in different countries.

Studies from Indonesia [15] and Ethiopia [46] have shown that mothers with positive attitudes towards available healthcare services are more likely to deliver at a healthcare facility. However, we did not find a similar significant association in this study.

In this study, mothers with easy access to healthcare services were less likely to use healthcare facilities for childbirth when compared to their counterparts. The observed interaction between access to healthcare and attitudes is a possible explanation. Irrespective of their attitudes towards healthcare facilities, mothers with easy access to healthcare facility were more likely to choose healthcare facility for childbirth. However, other factors such as cost of healthcare service (especially in urban areas), cultural factors, and service time influencing childbirth at healthcare facilities were not studied in this study [13, 38].

According to Fosu GB [50], the utilization of healthcare services depends on the perceived risk of present condition and benefits of the treatment. Similar findings were also seen in this and another study from Indonesia [15]. In this study, knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy was an independent correlate of childbirth at healthcare facilities. Perceived risk plays a role in shaping mothers’ decisions and actions and influenced by other factors such as antenatal care visits, age, occupation, etc. [7]. Women with sufficient knowledge of danger signs are capable of early recognition of potentially life-threatening complications and avert unnecessary delay in seeking healthcare [51]. Hence, education about the danger signs during antenatal care visits should be emphasized. However, the presence of danger signs of pregnancy and childbirth were not associated with delivery at healthcare facilities, although others reported contrary findings [49, 50, 52]. Very few mothers experienced danger signs of pregnancy (2.2%) and childbirth (11.3%), differences in the study setting could be a possible explanation. Mothers with comorbidities during pregnancy are at high risk of morbidity and mortality, and they directly affect the utilization of healthcare services [12, 53]. However, in this study, we did not observe a significant association between comrbidity and childbirth at healthcare facilities.

In a developing country like Indonesia, especially in the Muslim culture, the decision-making system is patriarchal. Family members like husband, parents, and, in-laws play a crucial role in deciding the place of childbirth [38, 54, 55]. However, the present study focused only on the woman as a participant.

Strengths and limitations

The study participants were selected from 15 sub-districts and fairly represented recently delivered mothers in the regency. To minimize the recall bias, only mothers delivered in the last 3 months were included, and, wherever possible, information obtained from the interviews was verified with Mother, and Children Health book records. To minimize the possibility of misclassification bias, we used RISKESDAS standard questionnaire (2010 and 2013) to assess the economic status and access to health services. RISKESDAS economic status questionnaire is relatively easy and widely used in developing countries. The limitation is determining the weight for each item. The access to health services questionnaire uses weighted difficulty levels. However, the respondent’s answer might be subjective, such as determining travel time. Associations observed in this study may not imply causality owing to the cross-sectional study design. This study did not consider husband, parents, and, in-laws-related factors which may influence in deciding the place of childbirth.

Conclusions

In Kuantan Singingi regency, childbirth at healthcare facilities was low. We recommend strengthening of existing maternal and child health program with a particular emphasis on imparting complete and quality antenatal care, health education on danger signs of pregnancy and childbirth, and promoting positive attitudes towards healthcare facilities. These interventions are known to change the behavior and reduce the maternal and neonatal mortalities in low-resources settings [56, 57]. Further studies are needed to explore the role of health insurance and accessibility to healthcare in utilization of available facilities.
