Two out of every three pregnant women who gave birth in public health facilities of Tullo Woreda were dissatisfied with deliveries services, Eastern Ethiopia.

Background: The level of maternal satisfaction with delivery services significantly affects health service utilization among women. Ethiopia's healthcare system and health facilities' quality have not much improved, which may contribute to women's generally poor levels of satisfaction and there was a limited study about client satisfaction on delivery services in the study area. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess level of maternal satisfaction with delivery service and its associated factors among women who gave birth in Tullo Woreda public health facilities, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 September 2020 among 355 women who gave birth in Tullo Woreda public health facilities, Eastern Ethiopia Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire through a face-to-face interview and entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25. The prevalence was reported using a 95% confidence interval and summary measures. Predictors were assessed using a multivariable logistic regression analysis model and reported using an adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at a Results: The overall satisfaction of mothers on delivery service was 33.5% (95% CI: 27.81, 39.13). Factors such as having no antenatal care (ANC) for the index pregnancy (AOR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.56), women who came to health centers on foot (AOR = 0.17; CI: 0.04, 0.74) and by auto-rickshaw (AOR = 0.16; 95 % CI: 0.04, 0.64), mothers who did not satisfied with toilet service at the delivery room (AOR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.86) and who were not satisfied with maternal drugs availability (AOR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.95) were predictors of maternal satisfaction. Conclusions: This study pointed out that only 33.5% of women were satisfied with delivery care services provided in public health facilities of the study area. Factors such as not having ANC, using foot and auto-rickshaw as means of transportation, availability of drugs, and toilets were predictor of maternal satisfactions. Awareness creation for the benefit of ANC follow-up and delivery in the health facilities and providing safe transportation during referral time may help mothers get a timely healthcare service, which may increase client satisfaction. The concerned entities must pay attention in timely availability of drugs and improving the toiles, which play a role in shaping and molding level of satisfaction of women.
