It reflects the quality of maternal health services. The provision of PCMC is influenced by the maternal sociodemographic and obstetric-related variables However, there is little information about person-centered maternity care in Ethiopia; particularly, communication & autonomy, and supportive care are not well investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the proportion of person-centered maternity care and associated factors among women who give birth at the public hospital, in North West, Ethiopia, 2023.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods<\/jats:title>\nA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 763 mothers who give birth at public hospitals in the South Gondar zone. The study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through exit interviews using a structured pretested Amharic version questionnaire. EPI- Data version 4.6 was used for data entry and SPSS Version 25 for analysis. Bivariable & multivariable linear regression analysis was computed. Predictor variables were identified by using unstandardized \u03b2 and a 95% confidence interval. A variable that has a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults<\/jats:title>\nThe mean person-centered maternity care was 42.33 out of 90. Mothers living in rural areas (\u03b2 = -1.43, 95% CI: -2.76,-0.11), 3\u20134 providers present during labor and delivery (\u03b2 = -1.58, 95% CI:-3.67,-0.27), had no history of facility delivery (\u03b2 = -2.28,95% CI:-4.43,-0.13), two days length of stay at hospitals (\u03b2 = 1.69,95% CI:0.40,2.48), and highest wealth (\u03b2 = 1.05,95% CI:0.42,1.41) were factors significantly associated with person-centered maternity care (PCMC).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion<\/jats:title>\nThe mean score of PCMC was low in the study area compared to studies done in low- and middle-income countries. Highest wealth, 3\u20134 health providers present during labor and delivery, had no history of facility delivery, and had two-day lengths of stay at hospitals were predictors for PCMC. Therefore, strengthening facility delivery and promoting hospital stays for more than a day as a part of first postnatal care is paramount for increasing PCMC.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0303389","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T18:35:57Z","timestamp":1724351757000},"page":"e0303389","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Person-centered maternity care and associated factors among women who give birth at public hospitals in South Gondar zone, North West Ethiopia, 2023"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2043-3041","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gizachew Worku","family":"Dagnaw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mekonen Melkie","family":"Bizuneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meseret Birhan","family":"Kassie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0303389.ref001","first-page":"15","author":"AG Society","year":"2016","journal-title":"Expert Panel on Person-Centered Care"},{"issue":"8","key":"pone.0303389.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"918","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.15237","article-title":"WHO model of intrapartum care for a positive childbirth experience: transforming care of women and babies for improved health and wellbeing.","volume":"125","author":"O Oladapo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Bjog"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-020-05082-z","article-title":"Multi-level strategies to tailor patient-centered care for women: qualitative interviews with clinicians.","volume":"20","author":"T Filler","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Health Services Research"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e96","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(18)30403-0","article-title":"Person-centered maternity care in low-income and middle-income countries: analysis of data from Kenya, Ghana, and India","volume":"7","author":"PA Afulani","year":"2019","journal-title":"The Lancet Global Health"},{"key":"pone.0303389.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-018-3183-x","article-title":"Predictors of person-centered maternity care: the role of socioeconomic status, empowerment, and facility type.","volume":"18","author":"PA Afulani","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Health Services Research"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-020-03221-2","article-title":"Determinants of person-centered maternity care at the selected health facilities of Dessie town, Northeastern, Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.","volume":"20","author":"FT Dagnaw","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978-022-01503-w","article-title":"Person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors at selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021: a cross-sectional study.","volume":"19","author":"AA Tarekegne","year":"2022","journal-title":"Reproductive Health."},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0303389.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0249265","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0249265","article-title":"Correlation among experience of person-centered maternity care, provision of care and women\u2019s satisfaction: a cross-sectional study in Colombo, Sri Lanka.","volume":"16","author":"M Rishard","year":"2021","journal-title":"PloS one"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978-018-0588-2","article-title":"A systematic review of person-centered care interventions to improve quality of facility-based delivery.","volume":"15","author":"N Rubashkin","year":"2018","journal-title":"Reproductive health."},{"issue":"53","key":"pone.0303389.ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1080\/09688080.2018.1502018","article-title":"Measuring mistreatment of women throughout the birthing process: implications for quality of care assessments.","volume":"26","author":"T Abuya","year":"2018","journal-title":"Reproductive health matters."},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0303389.ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2020-003559","article-title":"Unveiling respectful maternity care as a way to address global inequities in maternal health","volume":"6","author":"A.
