The poor practice of antiemetic prophylaxis on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention come up with complications, reduce patient satisfaction, and increase overall costs. This study aims to assess practice and associated factors of antiemetic prophylaxis among health professionals in referral hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method and materials:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on 407 health professionals from February 27 to March 30, 2019, in referral Hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the antiemetic prophylaxis practice level of health professionals on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention and management. The p-values of &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study 153 (37.6%) of health professionals were practicing antiemetic prophylaxis. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that anesthetists were (AOR: 8.11; 95% CI: 3.27, 20.08) and physicians (AOR: 4.78; 95% CI: 2.46, 9.30) were more likely to give anti-emetic prophylaxis as compared with midwives.
