abstract: 'Background: Pakistan has one of the highest rates of maternal and
neonatal mortality in the world. It is assumed that employed mothers in
paid work will be more empowered to opt for safer institutional
deliveries. There is a need to understand the predictors of home
deliveries in order to plan policies to encourage institutional
deliveries in the region.
Methods: The study aimed to ascertain the predictors for home deliveries
among mothers employed in paid work in Pakistan. Data analysis is based
on secondary data taken from the Pakistan Demographic Health Survey
2012-13. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were
conducted.
Results: The findings show that the majority (53.6\%) of employed
mothers in Pakistan give birth at home. Employed mothers in paid work
with the following characteristics had higher chances for delivering at
home: (i) women from rural areas (AOR 1.26; 95\% CI: 0.94-1.71), or
specific regions within Pakistan, (ii) those occupied in unskilled work
(AOR 2.61; 95\% CI: 1.76-3.88), (iii) women married to uneducated (AOR
1.70; 95\% CI: 1.08-2.66), unemployed (AOR 1.69; 95\% CI: 1.21-2.35), or
unskilled men (AOR 2.02; 95\% CI: 1.49-2.72), (iv) women with more than
7 children (AOR 1.57; 95\% CI: 1.05-2.35), (v) women who are unable in
the prenatal period to have an institutional check-up (AOR 4.84; 95\%
CI: 3.53-6.65), take assistance from a physician (AOR 3.98; 95\% CI:
3.03-5.20), have a blood analysis (AOR 2.63; 95\% CI: 1.95-3.57), urine
analysis (AOR 2.48; 95\% CI: 1.84-3.33) or taken iron tablets (AOR 2.64;
95\% CI: 2.06-3.38), and (vi) are unable to make autonomous decisions
with regard to spending their earnings (AOR 1.82; 95\% CI: 1.27-2.59)
and healthcare (AOR 1.12; 95\% CI: 0.75-1.65).
Conclusions: Greater efforts by the central and provincial state bodies
are needed to encourage institutional deliveries and institutional
access, quality and cost. Maternal and paternal benefits are needed for
workers in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy. Finally,
cultural change, through education, media and religious authorities, is
necessary to support institutional deliveries and formal sector paid
employment and out of home work opportunities for mothers of Pakistan.'
