Abstract:
Background: Prenatal and postnatal health care utilization services areimperative strategy to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality. One in 38 Pakistani womendies from pregnancy related causes as compared to 1 in 230 women in Sri Lanka. Objectives:The objective of the present study is to know about the pattern and trends of utilization ofantenatal and postnatal health care services by mothers in Pakistan. Study design: Descriptivesystematic literature review. Material and methods: The relevant literature was systematicallysearched through different key words related to antenatal and postnatal health care utilizationservices in Pakistan through different online research engines to accomplish this study.Results: Twenty five research articles were included in this review article. It was found thatlast two decades, we cannot achieve the optimum progress towards antenatal and postnatalhealth care utilization services. The problem is much severe in rural areas of across the country,where a number of socio-cultural and program factors hinders women to utilize the basic healthservices. Mother’s education, household income, autonomous at household decision makingand birth order are the significant factors that to utilize the antenatal and postnatal care inPakistan. Conclusion: There should be need to aware the mother about the importance ofprenatal and postnatal visits. In rural areas, government should give some economic incentivefor prenatal and postnatal visits. Furthermore, government should take necessary steps totackle the problem by providing the easy access to the health care facilities.

Abstract:
Objectives: To conduct an economic evaluation comparing a traditional antenatal visiting schedule (traditional care) with a reduced schedule of visits (new style care) for women at low risk of complications. Methods: Economic evaluation using the results of a randomised controlled trial, the Antenatal Care Project. This took place between 1993 and 1994 in antenatal clinics in South East London and involved 2794 women at low risk of complications. Results: The estimated baseline costs to the UK National Health Service (NHS) for the traditional schedule were £544 per woman, of which £251 occurred antenatally, with a range of £327–1203 per woman. The estimated baseline costs to the NHS for the reduced visit schedule was £563 per woman, of which £225 occurred antenatally, with a range of £274–1741 per woman. Savings from new style care that arose antenatally were offset by the greater numbers of babies in this group who required special or intensive care. Sensitivity analyses based on possible variations in unit costs and resource use and modelled postnatal stay showed considerable variation and substantial overlap in costs. Conclusions: Patterns of antenatal care involving fewer routine visits for women at low risk of complications are unlikely to result in savings to the Health Service. In addition, women who had the reduced schedule of care reported greater dissatisfaction with their care and poorer psychosocial outcomes which argues against reducing numbers of antenatal visits.

Abstract:
Introduction: Antenatal Care (ANC) is an effort to detect the occurrence of high risk in pregnant women. However, ANC non-compliance was still found due to several factors. Aim of study: This study aims to determine factors that influence ANC visits to ANC behavior at Puskesmas Pasar Rebo East Jakarta. Method: This study used a descriptive correlation design with a cross-sectional survey. Data analysis used Spearman's rho with 117 respondents. Results and Discussion: The results showed that there are some factors that influence ANC visits to ANC behavior, including age with a correlation value (r = 0.419), a p-value of 0.000; education with a correlation value (r = 0.425), p-value of 0.000; jobs with a correlation value (r = 0.279), p-value of 0.002; income with a correlation value (r = 0.407), p-value of 0.000; knowledge with a correlation value (r = 0.409), p-value of 0.000; husband / family support with a correlation value (r = 0.417), p-value of 0.000; attitude with a correlation value (r = 0.597), p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Irregularity in carrying out ANC has a bad impact on pregnant women because they are not aware of the risk factors that may occur to the mother and her fetus and can not be detected early on the disease suffered by pregnant women. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is nurses as health workers need to increase their role as educators and health care provider to pregnant women and their families about the importance of ANC to reduce maternal mortality and monitor the state of the fetus.

Abstract:
Objective. To identify care-related and maternal risk factors for the antenatal nondetection of IUGR.Methods. In this hospital-based case-control study we compared antenatally undetected IUGR neonates (cases) to detected IUGR neonates (controls). Data were collected using newborn documentation sheets and standardized personal interviews with the mothers. We calculated antenatal detection rates and used uni- and multivariable logistic regression models to assess the association of antenatal nondetection of IUGR and maternal and care-related factors.Results. A total of 161 neonates from three hospitals were included in the study. Suboptimal fetal growth was identified antenatally inn=77pregnancies while inn=84it was not detected antenatally (antenatal detection rate: 47.8%). Severity of IUGR, maternal complications, and a Doppler examination during the course of pregnancy were associated with IUGR detection. We did not find statistically significant differences regarding parental socioeconomic status and maternal migration background.Conclusions. In our study, about half of all pregnancies affected by suboptimal growth remained undetected. Future in-depth studies with larger study populations should further examine factors that could increase antenatal detection rates for IUGR.

Abstract:
Aims: To study attendance of antenatal care services during present pregnancy by pregnant women coming for delivery in a teaching hospital of Kathmandu and to analyze the impact of educational status, age group, gravida (number of pregnancy) and occupation of the women on antenatal care service utilization.Methods: Uncomplicated, term pregnant women who came for delivery in labour or for induction of labour or elective cesarean section were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaire.Results: Six hundred and four pregnant women were studied. Antenatal care coverage in studied population was found to be 94.8% with adequate (four) antenatal care visits in 83.4%. Women belonged to 20 to 30 years of age group and higher education status had higher rate of antenatal care attendance where as women who belonged to labor class (daily earner) had significantly lower rate of adequate antenatal care attendance. Number of pregnancy (gravida) of the women did not show association with rate of antenatal care attendance.Conclusions: Over all antenatal care attendance in this study is very high. Women of 20 to 30 years of age and higher education status had positive effect on antenatal care attendance, where as women who were daily earner or labour had higher rate of failure to attend antenatal care visits.

Abstract:
The antenatal care debate has focused on the frequency of antenatal care, its content, continuity, quality, organization, effectiveness and impact on morbidity and mortality. Established antenatal care schedules have been called into question. Randomized controlled trials comparing reduced schedules with routine antenatal care have shown similar or better outcomes for the reduced protocols. Furthermore, midwives, with or without physicians, can provide continuous maternity care comparable to obstetrician-led care. Some women disliked the new protocol, but a reduced protocol of high quality provided by competent midwives is cost-effective, spares scarce physicians and ensures women’s satisfaction. It is recommended globally.

Abstract:
Although antenatal care was widely introduced in the Western world only in the 20th century, it is now universally accepted and advocated as beneficial and advisable for all pregnant women and hence consumes a considerable amount of accommodation, equipment, professional time and costs to the women themselves. Resource use is rarely measured routinely but must vary enormously because of differences in the amount and intensity of care proposed, and in its uptake, in different geographical settings. However, even when resource use is at the lower end of the spectrum, antenatal care should be audited so that the needs of women and their babies can be best addressed.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Antenatal care in Sweden is routinely delivered on an individual level with optional parental education classes. Group-based antenatal care (GBAC) is a model of antenatal care that has been implemented in Sweden since the year 2000.AIM:Previous research has focused mainly on parents’ experiences and perceptions of GBAC. Midwives have an important role in developing Swedish antenatal care, but studies focusing on midwives’ perspectives are rare. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate and describe antenatal midwives’ perceptions and experiences of their current work, with a special focus on their opinions about GBAC.METHOD:An interview study was conducted and analyzed by descriptive statistics and quantitative content analysis.PARTICIPANTS:56 midwives from 52 antenatal clinics in Sweden.RESULTS:The major findings of this study were that midwives were satisfied with their work in antenatal care but have reservations concerning time constraints and parental classes. More than half of the midwives reported an interest in trying the group model but expressed personal and organizational obstacles based on identifiable difficulties in implementing the model. Midwives had strong opinions about the suitability of the model for women.CONCLUSION:This is the first study in Sweden to investigate midwives’ perspectives on GBAC. Midwives showed an interest in the group model but have concerns about implementing the process. The midwives considered GBAC as inappropriate for immigrants and well-educated parents.

Abstract:
Background/Aims Data on sociocultural determinants of late antenatal care initiation during pregnancy are scarce. This study evaluated pregnant women living in Tolon and the sociocultural factors that influence antenatal care initiation. Methods This study was cross-sectional. The odds of late antenatal care initiation were determined using binary logistic regression models and qualitative data were presented as illustrative quotations. Results The prevalence of late antenatal care initiation was high (72%). A woman and her spouse’s education were both found to impact antenatal care initiation, with formal education making early initiation more likely (P<0.001), although spouse’s education was not significant in the adjusted model. In both the unadjusted and adjusted models, women who experienced pregnancy ‘outdooring’ rites to announce their pregnancy were more likely to initiate antenatal care late than those who did not (P<0.001). Conclusions There was a positive relationship between pregnancy rites and late antenatal care initiation. The district health directorate needs to intensify campaigns against traditional pregnancy rituals that negatively impact early antenatal care initiation.

Abstract:
Background The benefits of early and frequent antenatal care visits include early prevention, detection, treatment of potential pregnancy complications and the reduction of maternal mortality related to these complications. Despite these benefits being explained to them, the majority of pregnant women in developing countries, including Nigeria, do not adhere to antenatal care, as they do not attend the recommended number of antenatal care appointments. Previous research has shown that urban women (84%) are more likely than rural women (56%) to receive antenatal care from a skilled provider. This study examined adherence to antenatal care among rural pregnant women in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods This was a cross-sectional descriptive study using multistage sampling to select 600 pregnant women from rural areas of Lagos. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect participants' sociodemographic data, knowledge of antenatal care, and adherence to antenatal care. Data were analysed and presented using descriptive and inferential statistics. Chi-square tests were used to assess the association between adherence to antenatal care and knowledge about antenatal care, and logistic regression was used to test the association between participants' characteristics and adherence to antenatal care, with P<0.05 being considered significant. Results Participants were between 15 and 49 years old and 96.2% were married. The majority of participants had poor knowledge of antenatal care (57.1%), and low adherence to antenatal care (71.7%). However, 73.9% had the overall perception that there were benefits to attending antenatal care. No significant relationship was found between participants' knowledge of and adherence to antenatal care (P=0.32). Occupation was significantly associated with adherence to antenatal care (P=0.03). The majority (54.4%) indicated that perceived barriers are the major cause of non-adherence to antenatal care. Conclusions Addressing perceived barriers to antenatal care attendance should increase adherence to antenatal care, especially in rural areas of Lagos.

Abstract:
Background: In Indonesia, preeclampsia is the second most common cause of maternal death. One of the government's steps to reduce it by antenatal care policy. This study aimed to analyze whether the frequency of antenatal care and antenatal health care facilities are assosiated with maternal mortality and morbidity of preeclampsia patients treated at a tertiary hospital in Surakarta. Methods: Analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data. The sample was preeclampsia patients at RSUD Dr.Moewardi Surakarta from January to December 2019 who were taken by total sampling. Independent variables are frequency of antenatal care and antenatal health care facilities, dependent variables are maternal mortality and morbidity. Data analysis using Chi-Square Test. Results: From 182 samples, antenatal care frequency average was 7,5 times (range: 0-16 times), the most antenatal healthcare facilities were advanced health facilities (85,5%), maternal mortality was 1,6%, and morbidity was 71,4%. Frequency of ANC was not associated with maternal mortality (p=1,000), frequency of ANC was not associated with morbidity of preeclampsia (p=1,000), antenatal healthcare facilities were not associated with maternal mortality (p=1,000), antenatal healthcare facilities were not associated with morbidity of preeclampsia (p=0,223). Conclusion: The frequency of antenatal care and antenatal healthcare facilities were not associated with maternal mortality and morbidity due to preeclampsia.

Abstract:
Background The timing of initiation of first antenatal care visit is paramount for ensuring optimal care and health outcomes for women and children. However, the existing evidence from developing countries, including Ethiopia, indicates that most pregnant women are attending antenatal care in late pregnancy. Thus, this study was aimed to assess timely initiation of antenatal care and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care services in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 375 pregnant women from April 15 to June 15, 2019 in Southwest Ethiopia. A structured and pre-tested face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire technique was used to collect data. Systematic random sampling technique was employed to recruit pregnant women. The data were entered into Epi data version 4.4.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Frequency tables, charts and measures of central tendency were used to describe the data. The effect of each variable on timely initiation of antenatal care was assessed using bi-variable logistic regression. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with timely initiation of antenatal care. The adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p<0.05 was used to identify factors associated with timely initiation of antenatal care. Results The study revealed that 41.9% of pregnant women started antenatal care timely. Pregnant women who had good knowledge of timely initiation of antenatal care (AOR = 3.8, 95% CI: 2.2–6.5), planned to be pregnant (AOR = 5.1, 95% CI: 2.9–8.9), being primigravida (AOR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.4–4.7) and confirmed their pregnancy by urine test (AOR = 4.1, 95% CI: 2.4–6.9) were found to be significant predictors for timely initiation of antenatal care. Conclusions Despite the efforts made to make ANC visit services freely available, timely initiation of antenatal care among pregnant women in the study area was low. Pregnant women who had good knowledge of timely initiation of antenatal care, planned to be pregnant, being primigravida and confirmed pregnancy by urine test were found to be significant predictors for timely initiation of antenatal care. Therefore, efforts that strengthen awareness on antenatal care and its right time of commencement, increase pregnant women’s knowledge of timing of antenatal care services and reducing unplanned pregnancies should be organized.

Abstract:
Abstract A prospective longitudinal study with experimental design was undertaken among the MCH providers and antenatal mothers in 2 zones of Dhaka city, between July 1997 to June 1998. One of the objective of the study was to find out the effect of using antenatal care counselling pamphlet by the MCH service providers on quality of their antenatal care delivery and change in awareness of pregnant mother's on emergency obstetric care (EOC). A colored pamphlet on antenatal care counselling was developed and finalized after focal group discussion, pretesting and general discussion among professionals. Different category of MCH care providers were trained on why and how to use such pamphlet. Service providers (n-307) who used ANC pamphlet discussed various obstetric emergencies more frequently (p < .05 to p < .001) with the pregnant mothers in comparison to those who did not use such card. Similarly, knowledge among the service providers on place and person of referral for different obstetric complications also increased significantly (p < .04 to p < .001) after orientation on use of ANC pamphlet. Pregnant mothers who received at least 2 ANC session were interviewed during antenatal care, before (n-172) and after (n-300) the use of ANC pamphlet. Scoring on recognizing the pictures as obstetric emergency and being able to mention places and person of contact if such emergency arise (self referral) increased significantly (p <. 001). Use of ANC pamphlet increased quality of ANC counselling and the knowledge of pregnant mothers on obstetric complications and self referral.

Abstract:
Introduction: Focused antenatal care improves the survival and health of the mother as well as the babies. However, there are real challenges in keeping the subsequent antenatal care follow up in Ethiopia. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess missed antenatal care follow up and associated factors in the Eastern zone of Tigray. Methods: Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among systematically selected 548 women who came for de- livery services from March to April 2016. The data were collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaire through face to face exit interview. Data entry and analysis were made using EPI info version 7 software and SPSS version 20 respectively. Both binary and multiple logistic regression was performed. Results: This study revealed that 33.4% of participants were missing their Antenatal care follow-up. Having no formal ed- ucation [AOR=1.778 (1.102, 2.869)], attending primary education [AOR= 1.756 (1.040, 2.964)], self-employee [AOR=1.589 (1.030, 2.452)], government employee [AOR=0.503 (0.503, 0.953)], being unmarried [AOR=2.36 (1.11, 5.04)], didn’t in- formed about institutional delivery [AOR=3.34 (1.44, 7.78)], and travel distance more than two hours to hospital [AOR=1.93 (1.08, 3.44)] were factors significantly associated with missed Antenatal care follow-up. Conclusion: The proportion of missed antenatal care follow-up was lessened as compared to local and national evidences. Nevertheless, still a coordinated effort on tracking of pregnant women who missed their antenatal care appointment is re- quired by health policy implementers so as to increase the uptake of four complete visits. Keywords: Antenatal care follow-up; missed antenatal care; Tigray region; Ethiopia.
