Introduction.
The existence of maternal health service does not guarantee its use by women; neither does the use of maternal health service guarantee optimal outcomes for women.
The World Health Organization recommends monitoring and evaluation of maternal satisfaction to improve the quality and efficiency of health care during childbirth.
Thus, this study aimed at assessing maternal satisfaction on delivery service and factors associated with it.
Methods.
Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Debre Markos town from March to April 2014.
Systematic random sampling technique were used to select 398 mothers who gave birth within one year.
The satisfaction of mothers was measured using 19 questions which were adopted from Donabedian quality assessment framework.
Binary logistic regression was fitted to identify independent predictors.
Result.
Among mothers, the overall satisfaction on delivery service was found to be 318 (81.7%).
Having plan to deliver at health institution (AOR = 3.30, 95% CI: 1.38–7.9) and laboring time of less than six hours (AOR = 4.03, 95% CI: 1.66–9.79) were positively associated with maternal satisfaction on delivery service.
Those mothers who gave birth using spontaneous vaginal delivery (AOR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.023–0.51) were inversely related to maternal satisfaction on delivery service.
Conclusion.
This study revealed that the overall satisfaction of mothers on delivery service was found to be suboptimal.
Reasons for delivery visit, duration of labor, and mode of delivery are independent predictors of maternal satisfaction.
Thus, there is a need of an intervention on the independent predictors.
