Disrespect and abuse during focused antenatal care and associated factors among pregnant women who visited public health facilities in Awsi Rasu of Afar Region Northeast Ethiopia.

The prevalence of disrespect and abusive experience during antenatal care in the study area was high relative to other studies. In the multivariable logistic regression model age of the mother (20-25 years), no formal education, low family income, and unplanned pregnancy are the predictors of disrespect and abusive care. Providing respectful health care during antenatal care with a suitable approach for all mothers irrespective of their age, unplanned pregnancies, and educational status is the most substantial to encourage maternal service use.
