Background: The non-pneumatic anti-shock garment is a unique, simple, life-saving first-aid device made of neoprene and velcro. Neoprene is a stretchy material, and Velcro is a “hook and loop” material that closes things tightly . I n 2017 e very day, approximately 810 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth . From this death about 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low and lower middle-income countries.
Objective: The objective of this study was designed to assess Midwives knowledge of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment and associated factors among Midwives.
Methods: Facility based a quantitative cross-sectional studies design method was employed among 150 Midwives. Data was collected by pretested semi-structured self-administered questionnaire . The collected data were checked, coded and entered into Epi-data version 3.1 by double data enter and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were done to identify factors associated with Midwives’ Knowledge of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment.
Results: Eighty one (54%) of Midwives have good knowledge of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment. Having positive attitude [ (AOR= 4.9 , 95% CI :( 2.06, 11.65 )], attending training [AOR= 3.91 , 95% CI :( 1.48, 10.32 ], presence guideline of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment at their hospitals [AOR= 2.57 , 95% CI :( 1.13, 5.82 )] were significantly associated with Midwives’ knowledge of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment.
Conclusion and Recommendation: The knowledge Midwives’ on non-pneumatic anti-shock garment was low. The identified factors that significantly associated with Midwives’ knowledge of non-pneumatic anti-shock garment were positive attitude; attend training and presence of guideline of non-pneumatic anti-shock garments. The Midwives that involved in the maternity service should be improving their knowledge on non-pneumatic anti-shock garment.
