Abstract

Introduction Skilled birth attendant (SBA) delivery is defined as assisting birth by a trained healthcare provider, which is vital for the health of mothers and newborns. Improving maternal health is one of the world health organization’s (WHO) key priorities and skilled birth attendant delivery is one of the four pillars of the initiative for safe motherhood to reduce maternal mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the individual and community-level factors associated with SBA delivery in Ethiopia. Method A secondary data analysis was conducted using the 2019 Mini Ethiopian demographic and health survey. A total of 5,527 (weighted) live births were included in the analysis. A multi-level logistic regression model was fitted using Stata 14.0 to identify individual and community-level factors associated with SBA delivery. Finally, AOR with 95% CI and random effects were reported. Result In this study after fitting a multilevel model, women with poor (AOR = 0.44 95%CI 0.32–0.61) and middle wealth index (AOR = 0.64;95% CI 0.46–0.87), multipara (AOR = 0.39;95% CI 0.28–0.55) and grand multipara (AOR = 0.46;95% CI 0.29–0.72), women from rural areas (AOR = 0.34;95% CI 0.16–0.72) and high community poverty level (AOR = 0.40;95% CI 0.21–0.76) had decreased odds of having SBA delivery. Whereas those who initiated Antenatal care (ANC) visits in the first trimester (AOR = 2.65; 95% CI 1.52–4.65) and second trimester (AOR = 1.87:95%CI 1.09–3.20) had increased odds of having SBA delivery in Ethiopia. Conclusion In this study socioeconomic factors like wealth index, parity, the timing of ANC visits, place of residency, and community poverty level were significantly associated with SBA delivery. Therefore, it is better to increase timely ANC initiation particularly for women with low levels of income to improve skilled birth attendant delivery.
