ABSTRACT
Pregnancy outcome is a strong indicator of maternal vulnerability. ICPD (1994) stated that every
childbirth and delivery should be healthy. The study examined the determinants of pregnancy
outcome among rural women in Nigeria. Pregnancy outcomes considered include live birth (low
weight babies) and terminated pregnancy (miscarriage/stillbirth). The quantitative cross-sectional
study analyzed the 2013 national demographic and health survey (NDHS) data and surveyed
77,486 rural women to access the determinants of pregnancy outcomes. A qualitative descriptive
study (in-depth interview) was also employed with three women interviewed to complement the
quantitative study. The study shows that while maternal healthcare facilities are available in the
study area, they are poorly utilized. Some socio-demographic factors that reveal association with
pregnancy outcomes are maternal age, maternal parity, maternal education, religion, occupation,
place of delivery, birth interval, and malaria prevention/cure during pregnancy (P<0.05). The
binary logistic regression result indicated that among other factors that influence pregnancy
outcomes, delivery assistance (P<0.05), maternal age (P<0.01), and economic status (P<0.05)
strongly predict pregnancy outcome after controlling for covariates. The qualitative result reveals
that maternal nutritional intake and some cultural practices during pregnancy also influence
pregnancy outcomes. The study results provide reasons to reject the null hypothesis. The study
suggests that rural women should be enlightened to deprecate obnoxious cultural practices which
directly or indirectly hamper pregnancy outcomes, and embrace healthy practices that grounds
favorable pregnancy outcomes.
Keywords: Nigeria, pregnancy, low birth weight, terminated pregnancy, maternal nutrition,
cultural practices.
