| description | Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the proportion of alcohol use and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care during the mid-pandemic of COVID-19 at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from May 1–30, 2021. Methods: A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on 612 pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 statistical software and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 25 for analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used to predict the association between alcohol use and the independent variable. p = 0.05 variables were considered statistically significant associated factors. Results: The prevalence of alcohol consumption by pregnant women was 26.3%: residence (Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR) = 4.08, 95% confidence interval: 2.23, 7.48), antenatal care follow-up before the survey (AOR = 2.69, 95% confidence interval: 1.37, 5.26), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 3.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.88, 5.70), partner alcohol use (AOR = 6.88, 95% confidence interval: 3.92, 12.06), and knowledge toward effect of alcohol on the fetus (AOR = 2.26, 95% confidence interval: 1.17, 4.33). Conclusions: The magnitude of alcohol use during pregnancy was high and this might be related to the pandemic. Antenatal care follow-up before the survey, unplanned pregnancy, partner alcohol use, and knowledge were found to be statistically significant associated factors. |
