Having the highest world maternal mortality ratios and most deaths being associated with lack of trained supervision at delivery. Changing delivery practices is a major priority in this region.<\/p><p><strong>Objective:<\/strong>\u00a0To determine the factors that contribute to persistent utilisation of unskilled birth attendance by women in Kakamega County.<\/p><p><strong>Design:<\/strong>\u00a0A descriptive cross-sectional study .<\/p><p><strong>Setting:<\/strong>\u00a0Kakamega County, Kenya<\/p><p><strong>Subjects:<\/strong>\u00a0Post-natal mothers with children aged less than six months who delivered without skilled attendance.<\/p><p><strong>Results:<\/strong>\u00a0Antenatal attendance rate of 92.7% while proportion of skilled birth attendance was at 48.6%. The following factors were found to influence utilisation of UBAs in the<\/p><p><strong>Study area:<\/strong>\u00a0age (X2=8.65, df=3, P= 0.013), occupation (X2=10.04, df=3, P=0.006), religion (X2=19.73, df=5, P=0.0001), monthly income (X2=7.59, df=2, P=0.002), marital status (X2=10.10424, df=2, P=0.005) and education level (X2=9.472, df=4, P=0.002). Negative attitude of healthcare providers, socio-cultural practices and insecurity also enhanced utilisation of unskilled birth attendance.<\/p><p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong>\u00a0Birth preparedness should be advocated for every pregnant woman and health facilities to address the discrepancy between antenatal attendance and delivery by skilled birth attendance. We hope that the information generated from this study will be used by the policy makers leading to appropriate interventions or strategies which will reduce the number of home deliveries and maternal deaths.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 KIBU Authors L.N.
