Abstract
Objective
To assess labor pain control and associated factors among women who give birth at Leku primary hospital, southern Ethiopia, 2018/19. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 404 mothers who gave birth at Leku hospital during the data collection period. Data were collected by two first degree midwives immediately after delivery using Labor Agentry Scale (LAS).
Results
In this study, 404 mothers were participated making the response rate of 100%. Among the participants, 104 (25.7%) of mothers reported Mild control of labor pain. Maternal age of 19 to 24 year AOR = 5.85 (95% CI 2.14, 15.98), being farmer AOR = 2.5 (1.14, 5.57), primi-para AOR = 0.13 (0.06, 0.3), good family support AOR = 2.8 (1.49, 5.3), short duration of labor (< 12 h) AOR = 3.2 (1.65, 6.23) and history of pregnancy loss AOR = 0.06 (0.03, 0.14) were significantly associated with greater control of labor pain. In general, compared to other studies, the level of labor pain control is good in this study area. Enhancing factors of labor pain control have to be strengthened to increase greater control of labor pain. Qualitative research is highly recommended to identify cultural factors related to labor pain control and management.
