| Summary: | A quantitative, descriptive and cross sectional study was conducted in four (4) health
care facilities to determine whether pregnant women attending antenatal care are aware
of danger signs of obstetric complications.
The objectives of the study were to assess awareness of danger signs of obstetric
complications and to associate demographic and obstetric factors with awareness of
danger signs of obstetric complications among pregnant women attending antenatal
care in Eastern Wollega zone.
Data was collected by means of structured questionnaire from 384 pregnant women
attending antenatal care in the 4 health facilities and analysed using the Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 16 computer program.
The findings revealed that the proportion of women who were aware of danger signs of
obstetric complications was inadequate.
