Obstetric Violence Survey Among Mothers in Jimma Zone, Ethiopia, 2022

Ayanos Taye's dataset contains survey results from 402 women who delivered in public hospitals in Jimma zone, Ethiopia, from August to October 2022. The data likely includes scores for knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of obstetric violence, along with sociodemographic and clinical factors. The study found more than two-thirds of participants had lower knowledge of childbirth rights and experienced obstetric violence.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between sociodemographic factors (e.g., residence, ANC contacts) and obstetric violence scores.
• Modeling predictors of women's knowledge levels about childbirth rights based on companion utilization.
• Investigating links between clinical factors (e.g., time of birth, complications) and unfavorable attitudes toward childbirth experience.
• Identifying common forms of obstetric violence (e.g., non-dignified care, physical abuse) from reported data.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 402 survey responses, providing a specific sample size.
• Data collection used structured, pre-tested face-to-face exit interviews.
• Analysis includes multivariable linear regression models with statistically significant associations reported (P-value < 0.05).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to one zone in southwest Ethiopia over a two-month period, which may reflect geographic and temporal bias.
