  abstract = {Introduction: Globally, more than half a million women die annually because of pregnancy and childbirth related complication. In Africa, the maternal mortality is still 540 per 100, 000 live births, it accounts for 64% of maternal deaths. Ethiopia has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios that are 412 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Mistreatment during childbirth eventually contributes toward maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Objective: To assess the magnitude of mistreatment and associated factors among delivering mothers in Dodotadistrict public health facility, Oromiya region, Arsi zone, Southeast, Ethiopia, from January 1 uptoFebruary28, 2021. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study design was employed using quantitative data collection methods. Study participant were selected through systematic random sampling. Semi structure and pretested questioner was used to collect data from study participant. The collected data was entered into EpiInfo version7.2.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics were used. Initially, binary logistic regression was carried out to see the association, Thereafter, the multivariable logistic regression method was used-value<0.05 and 95%CI was used to declare statistical significance. Hosmer–Lemeshow test was used to test goodness of fit of a model. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) and 95% CI were used to report the strength of association between outcome and independent variables. Results: In this study, (70.3%) (95%CI: 1.579, 2.843) of the interviewed mothers reported having experience at least one form of mistreatment. The types of mistreatment during childbirth included Ineffective communication (66.6%), Verbal abuse (64.5%), Non-consented care (60.3%), Physical abuse (35.1%), Non-confidential care (21.8%), Discrimination (20.5%) and Abandonment (2.5%). Sex of health care provider (AOR=4.434; 95%CI: (2.83, 41.85), Medical supply shortage [AOR 5.219; 95%CI: (2.525, 10.8)], Number of health professions [AOR=6.08; 95%CI: (2.32, 15.88)] were factors significantly associated with mistreatment during delivery service. Conclusion and recommendations: From this study, we can conclude that women receiving labor and delivery care at the study health facilities are exposed to mistreatment to a higher extent suggesting to a need to urgent intervention. Resource shortage, Number and sex of health professions are factors associated with mistreatment. Fulfilling resource shortage, giving birth preparedness education is mandatory in order to tackle this problems.},
