Abstract
= 20.85, P = 0.000 α = 0.05) in that the usefulness of information to mothers influenced their choice of health facility delivery. Marital status was also strongly correlated to being attended by skilled birth attendant (χ2 = 14.73, p = 0.005) as 0.4 times of mothers who were married were more likely to be attended by skilled birth attendants as compared to those that are single. COR = 0.005, 95% CI (0.00-0.36) and this was statistically significant p = 0.002. This study suggests the incorporation of IE&C into nursing training curriculum to orient students on the importance of IE&C so as to improve ANCs and skilled birth attendance further.
