The main objective of this study is to investigate the awareness and application of modern maternal healthcare usage and to identify the determinant factors that affect the usage of modern maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia. A quantitative approach to the survey questionnaire was employed. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 240 respondents from a sample of women aged between 18 and 49. Using statistical software, the collected data were analyzed using categorical variable tests and binary logistic regression. The findings showed that, from the total of 240 respondents, some of the respondents had not attended Antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care. Therefore, from the findings of the study, the researchers have concluded that to increase health care utilization, the concerned bodies should be expanding access to health services, improving the quality of antenatal care services, conducting awareness-raising promotions, and providing training for health workers to increase their skills and professional ethics.

The present study attempted to highlight the effects of streetism and the coping mechanisms of street children. The qualitative research approach was adopted and data were collected from 15 selected street children. The majority of street children were discovered to be between the ages of 8 and 12 years. Thematic analysis was conducted to further understand the lives of street children. Street children suffer from the burden of having to handle responsibilities at an early age. Thus, the findings of the study illustrate that the issue of street children cannot be viewed as an economic phenomenon alone but as a social and psychological one as well. Consequently, the study highlights that even in settings where street children are standardised, leaving home very early is related to negative outcomes.
