Abstract

Demographic and public health studies have indicated urban-rural differences in the utilization Résumé Études démographiques et sanitaires et publiques ont montré des différences urbain-rural dans l'utilisation des services de soins prénatals . Cependant , facteurs qui expliquent les différences urbain-rural dans l'utilisation soins prénatals sont inconnus. L'étude a utilisé l'Enquête Démographique et de Santé du Nigeria 2008 ( enquête démographique et sanitaire ) d'examiner les facteurs associés aux différences urbain-rural dans l'utilisation des soins prénatals au Nigeria . L'analyse de régression logistique a révélé un écart urbain-rural dans l'utilisation des soins prénatals au Nigeria . Il a été révélé que les femmes rurales étaient moins susceptibles de recevoir des soins prénatals que les femmes urbaines (OR = 0,53 , IC = 0,48 à 0,59

Modelling Excess Zeros in Count Data with Application to Antenatal Care Utilisation

“…Employed women had a significantly higher likelihood of utilising ANC. This observation is similar to that of a previous study on the determinants of urban-rural differential in ANC utilisation amongst women of reproductive age in Nigeria, using 2008 NDHS dataset (Babalola et al, 2014).

Determinants and Use of Family Planning Among Young Women (18-28 Years) Attending Health Facilities in Garu-Tempane District of Ghana

The lack of formal education could have resulted in reinforced doubts, misconceptions and failed messages which have all been long documented to be significant barriers with regards to use (Babalola, 2014;Cleland et al, 2006;Somé, Sombié, & Meda, 2013)and in many instances resulted in messages on FP not yielding their intended purposes for the target audience. The appreciably lower numbers (30.4%) of young women receiving some form of education did not seem to impact on the CPR.…”

Do health care reforms in Turkey have a significant effect in equal access to maternal and child health services in Turkey: An evidence from 20 years

“…Women married to men with secondary or higher educational level were more likely to seek maternal and child health care services. A few other studies have also shown the significant effect of husband's educational level on health care service utilization . It can be suggested that husbands with higher educational level might have encouraged their wives to seek more maternal and child health care services for their newborns …”

“…The findings on the relationship between welfare level and utilization of prenatal care services and health care facilities for childbirth are consistent with the findings of other studies in related literature. [12][13][14][15] Having insufficient economic power, 16 lower level of education, and not being covered by health insurance 17 might have been the main reasons for using less prenatal care services and health care facilities for birth among women whose welfare level was lower.…”

“…A few other studies have also shown the significant effect of husband's educational level on health care service utilization. 13,19,[27][28][29] It can be suggested that husbands with higher educational level might have encouraged their wives to seek more maternal and child health care services for their newborns. 27,30 Increasing birth order significantly decreased the likelihood of prenatal care utilization and giving birth at health care facilities.…”
