Objective: The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with home delivery in Health Zone of Lemera in South-Kivu province of DR Congo. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study design was applied from February 2nd to March 30 2016 to collect data from 384 reproductive age women who gave birth in 2015. They were selected by stratified random sampling method. A logistic regression was used to determine the existence of association between home delivery and independent variables. Result: Mother educational status, parity of the women, distance from facilities, lack of preparation of women in labor, failure to render assistance to women in labor were statistically significant association with home delivery. Conclusion: home deliveries are still very common in our communities because of the above mentioned factors which deserve special attention during antenatal care and stay in the maternity ward.

Abstract: (french)
Objectifs: cette étude avait pour objectif de déterminer les facteurs associés à l’accouchement à domicile dans la Zone de Santé rurale de Lemera. Matériel et méthode: une étude transversale a été conduite entre le 02 février et le 3à mars 2015 auprès de 384 femmes en âge de procréer qui ont accouché en 2014. Elles ont été choisies aléatoirement par échantillonnage stratifié dans toutes les aires de santé de Lemera. Les entretiens se faisaient à domicile. La détermination de la relation entre la variable d’intérêt (accouchement à domicile) et les variables indépendantes a été réalisé par le test de Chi-deux et la régression logistique au seuil de signification statistique de 0,05 (p<0,05). Résultats: Le faible niveau d’instruction, la multiparité, l’éloignement de structures sanitaires, l’impréparation de la parturiente, la non-assistance aux parturientes à la maternité ont eu une association significative avec les accouchements à domicile dans la Zone de Santé de Lemera. Conclusion: les accouchements à domicile sont encore très fréquents dans nos milieux à cause des facteurs ci-haut cités qui méritent une attention particulière lors des consultations prénatales et du séjour à la maternité.
