Antenatal Care Utilization

Abstract Background Maternal continuum of care is identified to have a greatest impact on maternal and child survival. However, there is a wide variation in maternal health services utilization from place to place in Ethiopia. Therefore, knowing antenatal care, labor and delivery, and postnatal care uptake has paramount importance to take interventions. Methods A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1626 postpartum women. Descriptive statistics were done to characterize the study population and utilization of antenatal care, institutional delivery, and postnatal care services. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors associated with institutional delivery. Results Nearly eighty percent, (79.7%, 95% CI: 77.7, 81.6), of women attended at least one antenatal care visit at any health facility. However, only less than one third (31.4%) used all the recommended antenatal care (ANC). About half, 820 (49.2%: 95% CI: 46.7, 51.8) women delivered their child in health institution. About half, 822 (50.6%, 95% CI: 48.2, 52.9) of postpartum women who participated in this study had at least one postnatal care (PNC) visit at health facilities. Being urban resident (AOR=8.18, 95%CI: 4.69, 14.26)), respondents of higher educational status (AOR= 4.99, 95%CI: 2.51, 9.90), being Orthodox Christian (AOR= 2.35, 95%CI: 1.15, 4.79), getting TT vaccination during pregnancy (AOR=1.54, 95%CI: 1.06, 2.23), and antenatal care utilization (AOR=2.97, 95%CI: 2.06, 4.27) were predictors for health facility/institutional delivery. Conclusions Though a significant proportion of the study participants initiated antenatal care, utilization of all the recommended antenatal care visits, facility delivery, and postnatal care services were low. Health professionals need to use the first antenatal care visit as a golden opportunity to attract and maintain pregnant women for the subsequent maternal health care services.

Background: Antenatal care is the care of the woman during her pregnancy. The primary aim of antenatal care is to achieve at the end of a pregnancy a healthy mother and a healthy baby National Health Mission mainly aims at reduction in maternal, neonatal, infant mortality and increasing institutional deliveries. This study was conducted to evaluate the antenatal care services utilization in a rural area of North Kerala among the women who delivered in the past six months. The objective of the study was to evaluate the antenatal care services utilization among the women who delivered in the past six months in a rural area of North Kerala.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the rural field practice area of Kannur Medical College, Kannur among women who delivered in the past 6 months by using convenient sampling method. A total of 150 mothers were interviewed using pre-validated, semi structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.2±3.4 years. About 98% (147) mothers had at least four ANC visits, all mothers had two doses or one booster dose of TT injections and 90% (135) consumed minimum hundred IFA tablets during pregnancy. Around 96% (144) of the mothers have received the full antenatal care during pregnancy.Conclusions: Our study showed that, the full antenatal care services utilization by the mothers is better compared to National and State averages. But there is slightly increased level of delivery by caesarean which is a matter of concern.

Background. Women’s and children’s health is a crucial public health concern that epitomizes the universal platform for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Appropriate and timely care during pregnancy can improve maternal and child health. Objectives. The present study aimed at determining the magnitude and determinants of antenatal care services’ utilization in Kandahar city. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study involving 850 women with at least one delivery in the last 2 years was carried out in Kandahar city from January to February 2021. Questionnaires to record information on sociodemographic, reproductive, and antenatal care- (ANC-) related characteristics were administered. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.00 statistical software. We used descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentages to present the data. Determinants of antenatal care services’ utilization were determined using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results. Among all study participants, 589 (69.3%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 66.0%–72.4%) of study participants utilized antenatal care services at least once. However, only 22% of the women were utilizing the recommended ≥4 ANC visits. Factors that remained significantly associated with antenatal care services’ utilization in multivariable analysis included women’s educational status (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.0–4.3), pregnancy intention (AOR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1–3.4), and place of residence (AOR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1–2.6). Conclusion. This study has found high rates (vs. the national level) of antenatal care services’ utilization among women who had at least one delivery in the last 2 years. However, the rate of recommended ≥4 ANC visits was low. Factors determining antenatal care utilization such as educational status of the mother, pregnancy intention, and place of residence hold the key to address the issue of ANC services lower utilization and consequently improve maternal and fetal health.

In Nepal, Antenatal care (ANC) services seeking behavior has improved since the 1990s. More pregnant women are seeking the services now than ever. Still a relatively high percentage does not seek even a onetime ANC care and the percentage of women who seek 4 or more ANC care from a skilled service provider is still low. Research in developing countries shows that various demographic, social and economic factors influence the utilization of ANC services and the number of times the care is sought by pregnant women. This paper examines the likelihood of utilization of ANC services 4 or more times in relation to women’s demographic, social and economic status in Nepal. The 2011 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) data set has been utilized by applying bivariate logistics regression analysis technique to examine the effects of these variables in 4 or more ANC use in Nepal. The analysis findings show large variations and gaps in the utilization of ANC care based on demographic, social and economic status of women. Against this finding, the study recommends implementation of appropriate policy and program measures by the government and other agencies to address the existing variations and gaps in ANC services utilization among different sub-groups of women in Nepal. Further research studies focusing on the existing barriers in ANC services utilization need to be conducted in Nepal especially among the women who are disadvantaged and marginalized.  The Journal of Development and Administrative Studies (JODAS)Vol. 24 (1-2), pp. 71-87
