“…More than 90% of women declared that the importance of HIV testing in pregnancy, nutrition during pregnancy, medicines that are safe to take during pregnancy and how to take care of a newborn baby were discussed during ANC. These results are similar to those found by Dairo and Owoyokun in Ibadan [18], Oladapo et al [27] in South Western Nigeria where 97.1% and 85.6% of women respectively who attended ANC received similar information. On the contrary, Gross et al found that in the Kilombere valley, South Eastern Tanzania only 19% of women had information on the appropriate diet in pregnancy, meanwhile 28% had HIV counselling and 3% had information on medicines safe to use in pregnancy [28].…”

“…This corroborates the findings of the DHS 2004 in which only 48.4% of rural women had four or more ANC visits against 78.4% for urban women [17]. Dairo and Owoyokun [18] found that women from the rural parts of Ibadan were less likely to attend ANC than women in urban settings.…”

“…One can therefore observe that late booking for ANC is a common tendency across sub Saharan Africa. Late ANC attendance may preclude women from benefiting from preventive strategies such as iron and folic/acid supplementation, treatment of helminthic infections and intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria using sulfadoxinepyrimethamine thus leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes [18].…”

Background: Pregnant women receive antenatal care (ANC) to ensure favorable pregnancy outcomes. Despite the high ANC coverage rate registered nationally in Cameroon; rural women, women with no formal education and those in the most deprived quintile still face difficulties in having access to quality ANC. The impact of the aforementioned factors on ANC use in the Muea Health Area (MHA) is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the proportion of women attending ANC and the factors influencing ANC attendance in the MHA. Materials and Methods: This was a community based, analytical, cross sectional survey that involved pregnant women and women with children less than two years old who gave an informed consent or assent. Data were collected using a semi structured questionnaire. EPI info Version 7 and Stat Pac for Windows version 12 © 1998-2011 (Stat Pac Inc, Bloomington, USA) were used for data analysis. Associations were considered statistically significant for p values less than 0.05. Results: Two hundred and twenty women were interviewed. The mean age was 25 years (SD 5.28). Ninety-nine percent of women had at least one ANC visit meanwhile 84.8% had at least four ANC visits. Only 27.2% of women booked for ANC in the first trimester. Rural (Maumu) residence was associated with inappropriate ANC attendance (attending less than four times) (χ 2 = 18.5; p = 0.001). Semi urban women (87%; 95% C.I. = 85.10% -89.0%) were more likely to attend four or more sessions than rural (Maumu) women (60.7%; 95% C.I. = 44.2% -77.3%) (p = 0.001). Participant's educational

“…More than fifty percent 144(53%) respondents received ANC services from upazilla health complex/government hospital and 127(47%) respondents received ANC services from non government organization(private clinic, provincial hospital, health centre and NGO clinic). This finding was consistent with the study finding conducted in Tangail district of Bangladesh 14 and study conducted in Nigeria 19 . The study done in rural area of Punjab noted that 625 (66.1%) of the respondents reported of home delivery and 320 (33.9%) reported of institutional delivery 20 .…”

ORIGINAL ARTICLEneed for prenatal care and availability of trained personnel to attend to women during labor and delivery 2 . In developing countries, women often encounter serious health risks during pregnancy either for themselves (e.g. anemia, edema, eclampsia etc) or for their children (e.g. sepsis and pneumonia, birth asphyxia and injuries, tetanus, congenital anomalies, with low birth weight etc). Maternal health refers to the health of the mother during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period 3 . Maternal health services usually are preventive and patients are not usually ill, 4 resulting in the underuse of services. The use of maternal healthcare services is IntroductionAntenatal care (ANC) is the care a woman receives throughout her pregnancy in order to ensure that both the mother and child remain healthy. Almost 90% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries and over half a million women die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth related causes 1 . The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity as well as neonatal deaths can be reduced substantially through regular and proper antenatal care check-up and delivery under safe and hygienic conditions. Studies demonstrating the high levels of maternal mortality in developing countries and research identifying causes of maternal death have repeatedly emphasized the Background & Methodology: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted to assess the antenatal care practices in some selected rural areas of Bangladesh for a period of six months starting from July to December 2014. The study populations were all married women of reproductive age, who had at least one child and had delivered the last child within two years from the period of data collection. A total of 353 women were selected by convenient type of non probability sampling. A semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire was used which include socio-demographic profile and practice regarding antenatal care.

“…So far, the utilization of antenatal care services in developing countries was less (65%) than developed countries (97%). [3] In Indonesia, utilization of antenatal care in healthcare professionals was just 61.4%. [4] Factors that influence the utilization of antenatal care are the kind of residence area (city or rural), age, the number of births or parity, education level, and wealth or economic status.…”

In Indonesia, the utilization of antenatal care at healthcare professionals was only 66%, and this figure dropped during a delivery. As much as 46% of pregnant women who attend antenatal care at healthcare professionals did not carry birth in healthcare facility. This study aims to explain the correlation between knowledge and intention with self-efficacy of pregnant women to get antenatal care. This was a quasi-experimental research with pre and post one group study. The samples included pregnant women in Balikpapan city, who had entered the second trimester of pregnancy. Sampling was carried out using simple random sampling technique by using a random number generator program is research randomizer to determine the group. Total sample was 20 pregnant women. The results showed that: 1) There was a significant correlation between knowledge and self-efficacy (p = .001); 2) There was a significant correlation between intentions and self-efficacy (p = .017). This study concluded that self-efficacy of pregnant women was high, the majority of pregnant women were not in the age of risk, pregnant women with high and average level of parity had a high knowledge. There were pregnant women who had high knowledge but did not get antenatal care from healthcare professionals. Most pregnant women had intention to attend antenatal care at healthcare professionals, but there were still pregnant women who attended antenatal care less than the prescribed standards that is at least four times during pregnancy.
