The Impact

Objectives. First, to assess the impact of scientific and technical training on midwives’ abilities in collecting and recording the results of routine antenatal care examinations. Second, to explore midwives’ views with regard to factors affecting their abilities to successfully complete the data documentation tasks. Methods. The study was conducted in South Kalimantan, Indonesia (April 2016-October 2017). Nineteen urban and rural midwives were selected. Access to antenatal care information on 4,946 women (retrospective cohort study) and 381 women (prospective cohort study) was granted. A descriptive and exploratory design was used to describe midwives’ abilities and challenges pertaining to timely collection and recording of results concerning antenatal care examinations. Results. Scientific and technical training has significantly improved the average amount of recorded antenatal care data (from 17.5% to 62.1%, p-value < 0.0005). Lack of awareness, high workload, and insufficient skills and facilities are the main reasons for the database gaps. Conclusions. The training has equipped midwives with scientific knowledge and technical abilities to allow routine collection of antenatal care data. Provision and adequate use of this information during different stages of pregnancy is crucial as an evidence-based guideline to assess maternal and foetal risk factors to ending preventable mortality.

Antenatal care is a vital part of primary healthcare that is known to improve maternal and newborn outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting utilization of antenatal care services for women in reproductive age in Yemen. This cross-sectional community-based study was conducted in six districts of Sana’a City, Yemen. Data were collected from 460 mothers who gave birth in the past six months via face-to-face interviews at home between September to December 2010. Only 54% of mothers were found to have made four or more antenatal care visits. Almost two third of participants made their first visit during their first trimester due to presence of health problems and did not follow up when they became healthy during pregnancy. Reasons for not receiving antenatal care services due to absence of health problems, high cost of antenatal care services, long waiting time, and poor staff attitude. Sixty percent of participants were unaware of the danger symptoms of common health problems in pregnancy. The significant factors affecting utilization of antenatal services were mother education, residence place, age at first pregnancy, gravida, parity, occurrence of pregnancy without planning, and number of live children (P<0.05). The factors affecting the number of visits were mother education, place of residence, and husband work were (P<0.05). Future healthcare activities should focus on improving women’s awareness of the importance of antenatal care even in the absence of noticeable health problems and lack of education about the common danger signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

Abstract Background: A good Antenatal Care during pregnancy is important to ensure the health of the mother and the healthy development of the fetus. In 2016, at Ethiopian Somali region (43.6 %) of pregnant mothers had an Antenatal Care (ANC) visit at least once during their last pregnancy and only (11.8%) had a history of four or more visits for Antenatal Care, which are the lowest rates among all regions in Ethiopia.Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the barriers and determine enabling factors affecting Antenatal Care service utilization in Somali Regional state.Methods: A qualitative exploration was conducted from February 18 to March 11, 2017. A pre-tested semi-structured interview guides, and facility abstractions with checklists were used to collect the data. A total of 31 individual interviews, 12 focus group discussions, and 21 facility abstractions were collected. The population of the region were stratified into three areas based on their settlement characteristics as agro-pastoralist, pastoralist, and urban. Two districts were selected from each category based on their performance. The data was entered, coded, categorized, and analyzed by utilizing Nvivo version 11software. A thematic analysis was conducted using themes that were developed based on the constructs of the socio-ecological model.Results: According to the study, economic constraints, place of residence, mothers’ being lack of awareness, preference of female health care provider, husband’s disapproval, lack of acceptance by the community, absence of full ANC services packages related with shortage of manpower, medical supply in majority of the health facilities and lack of perceived benefits from ANC service were the main barriers of ANC service utilization. Conclusion: Individual, interpersonal, and organizational level factors were the most dominant barriers for ANC service utilization. Therefore, FMOH, regional, zonal and district level health administrators and other stakeholders should design effective IEC, community mobilization and work on supply-related problems to .increase ANC utilization in the region.

Background. Antenatal care is defined as the routine care of pregnant women provided between conception and the onset of labor. This study is aimed to identify factors affecting the utilization of antenatal care (ANC) services in Ethiopia. Methods. The study used data from the nationally representative 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). A total of 7,167 mothers who gave birth within five years preceding the 2016 EDHS whose complete information was available in the survey were included in this study. Logistic regression statistical analyses were used to identify factors associated with the utilization of a minimum of 4 ANC services in Ethiopia. Results. Among the 7,167 women included in this study, 2,598 (36.6%) had utilized a minimum of 4 ANC services in Ethiopia. This study showed that factors such as place of residence, region, mothers’ education level, household wealth index, desire for pregnancy, frequency of reading newspaper, frequency of listening to radio, and frequency of watching TV were associated with the utilization of a minimum of four ANC services at 5% level of significance in Ethiopia. Conclusion. Strategies to increase the accessibility and availability of healthcare services are important particularly for communities in rural areas. Financial support that enables mothers from poor households to use health services will be beneficial. Health promotion programs targeting mothers with no education are vital to increase their awareness about the importance of antenatal services.

Abstract Background To scale up a comprehensive way of implementation to reduce neonatal mortality evaluation of factors for neonatal near-miss cases is very important. Certain studies were done in assessing near-miss cases, but they failed in identifying the proximate factors affecting profoundly. So, this study is to fill those gaps in the aforementioned studies, in assessing the factors affecting neonatal near-miss cases. Methods A nested case-control study was conducted in selected three Hospitals of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia from April 5, 2018, to March 5, 2019. The structured standard tool was used to identify neonatal near-miss cases. Data were entered into Epi data version 3.1 and exported to Stata version 15 for analysis. A conditional logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with near-miss cases. The goodness of fit was tested by a log-likelihood ratio (LR). In this study P-value < 0.05 was considered to declare a result as a statistically significant association. Results In this study 121 neonatal near-miss cases, and 363 controls were involved. The identified factors that affect neonatal near-miss were multiparty (AOR = 3.81, 95%CI: 1.72, 8.42), antenatal care follow up (AOR = 0.02, 95%CI: 0.01, 0.05), premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 3.40, 95%CI: 1.53, 7.55), non-vertex presentation (AOR = 2.83, 95%CI: 1.44, 5.58), and cesarean delivery (AOR = 4.89, 95%CI: 2.34, 10.24). Conclusions Those identified factors are better should be intervened. Strengthening antenatal care services by providing appropriate information for the mother and counseling about the consequences of multiparty and providing information on family planning. There is a need to identify, screen and critical follow high-risk mothers and give immediate and appropriate intervention as early as possible.
