THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Background of the Study
The United Nations Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) seek to reduce the under-5 child mortality by two
thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters between 1990 and 2015, these
goals known as MDG 4 and MDG 5 respectively (UN,2011). These goals become critical targets for Developing
countries which prioritized interventions and national healthspending.Yet
meeting MDGs 4 and 5 was remains to be challenging: mortality rates aredecreasing,
but not rapidly enough to meet the MDGs in most countries (Hogan et al.,2010;
Rajaratman et al.,2010).
In many low-income settings
with high burden of maternal deaths, few women use facilities for birth, often
choosing a higher risk birth athome, often without professional medical
assistance.WHO (2010) stated it was globally recognized that one of the main
challenges to achieving the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of a global
reduction of maternal death to 75 % by 2015.
Past studies have identified
several reasons why women or families opted to choose home-delivery due to
number ofaccess barriers in using birthing facilities. Deliveries in health
facilities can ensure that women are attended by skilled personnel and link
women to the referral system in case of any complications. Increasing the
proportion of women who delivers in a health facility can be an important means
in reducing maternal mortality
Globally, an estimated 287,000
maternal deaths occurred in 2010 with Sub Saharan Asia accounting for nearly
85% of the global burden. Evidence base clinical
and preventative interventions aimed at
reducing maternal Africa and South and neonatal morbidity and mortalityare well
documented. One such intervention is increasing skilled attendance at
facility-based deliveries. In the Philippines the MMR is higher than in most
other Southeast Asian Countries, and home delivery is a major factor
contributing it (WHO, 2010).
Presently,
the Department of Health(DOH) Administrative Order 2008-0029 known as “No Home
Birthing Policy”advocates facility-based delivery and women can get timely and
correct diagnosis,early intervention, and access to emergency obstetric careunder
the supervision of a licensed practitioner in a health facility. It was considered
to be a crucial factor in reducing MMR. In 2011, the DOH updated the adopted
the policy; called The Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition(MNCHN)
strategy. Under the devolved health system, which was implemented in 1991, the
delivery of health services was transferred from the central agency to local
government units (Santos, 2013).
It
was noted that there was no studies conducted on this program particularly in
the Municipality of Ipil, thus, the researcher came up with this study. The aimed
of this study was to determine the factors affecting compliance and
non-compliance to facility-based delivery among mothers, particularly in
Barangay Magdaup, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. The findings of this investigation
served as basis for developing an intervention and promote compliance to
facility-based delivery and ultimately reduced maternal mortality.
