摘要
Introduction Preconception care (PCC) is an important window to target maternal morbidity and mortality, especially for women with chronic diseases. However, little is known about knowledge and attitudes towards preconception care among women with chronic disease. Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge and attitude towards preconception care and associated factors among women of reproductive age with chronic disease in Amhara region referral hospitals, Ethiopia, 2022. Method A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in Amhara region referral hospitals from April 15 to June 1, 2022. A total 828 women of reproductive age with chronic disease in four referral hospitals were selected using a stratified and systematic random sampling technique. Data was collected by using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and chart review. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out. An Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was computed to see the strength of association between outcome and independent variables. P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results This study found that 55.6% of respondents had a good knowledge of preconception care, and 50.2% had a good attitude towards PCC. Formal education (AOR: 1.997, 95% CI: 1.247, 3.196), primiparity (AOR: 2.589, 95% CI: 1.132, 5.921), preconception counseling (AOR: 3.404, 95% CI: 2.170, 5.340), duration of disease >= 5 years (AOR: 6.495, 95% CI: 4.091, 10.310) were significantly associated with knowledge of PCC. Older age (>= 35years) (AOR: 2.143, 95% CI: 1.058, 4.339), secondary education and above (AOR: 2.427, 95% CI: 1.421, 4.146), history of modern family planning use (AOR: 2.853 95% CI: 1.866, 4.362), preconception counseling (AOR: 2.209, 95% CI: 1.429, 3.414) and good knowledge of PCC (AOR: 20.629, 95% CI: 12.425, 34.249) were significantly associated with attitude towards PCC. Conclusions Women's knowledge and attitude towards preconception care were found to be low. Important measures include promoting secondary education and carrying out awareness campaigns, incorporating preconception counseling into routine medical follow-up care, and encouraging the use of modern family planning methods.
