“…Aritonang et al (2019) showed that 56.0% of pregnant women had a negative attitude towards antenatal care. Ogu and Alegbeleye (2018) explained that pregnancy and delivery were holistic experiences that were affected by the attitude and care received. Poor attitude of pregnant women occurred because pregnant women only made antenatal visits if they were sick or felt that they just need to be checked, as well as the presumption of antenatal visits that were not related to the prevention of maternal and infant mortality (Tasliah, Widagdo, and Nugraha, 2017).…”

Background:The completeness of antenatal care is an effort to reduce prenatal mortality. This study aimed to analyze the contextual effect of the community health center on the use of antenatal care. Subjects and Method: This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted from June to August 2020. The sample consisted of 250 study subjects that were selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was antenatal care. The independent variables were husband support, knowledge, attitude, antenatal information, self-efficacy, cues to action, perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and complete facilities. This study used questionnaires to collect the data with multilevel analysis through a logistic regression approach in STATA 13. Results: Complete antenatal care visits increased with strong support (b= 4.36; 95% CI= 0.92 to 7.81; p= 0.013), high knowledge (b= 3.59; 95% CI= 0.67 to 6.51; p= 0.016), positive attitude (b= 4.07; 95% CI= 0.65 to 7.50; p= 0.020), much antenatal information (b= 4.20; 95% CI= 0.94 to 7.46; p= 0.012), high self-efficacy (b= 3.05; 95% CI= 0.20 to 5.90; p= 0.036), high cues to action (b= 3.41; 95%CI= 0.62 to 6.20; p= 0.017), high perceived seriousness (b= 4.48; 95% CI= 1.20 to 7.76; p=0 .007), high perceived susceptibility (b= 3.35; 95% CI= 0.31 to 6.38; p= 0.031), high perceived benefit (b= 3.82; 95% CI =0.49 to 7.16; p= 0.025), high perceived barrier (b= -3.13; 95% CI= -6.10 to -0.16; p= 0.039), and complete facilities (b= 4.97; 95% CI= 0.59 to 9.34; p= 0.026). The variation at the community health center level showed a contextual effect on antenatal care with an intraclass correlation (ICC) = 51.09%. Conclusion:Complete antenatal care is affected by husband support, knowledge, attitude, antenatal information, self-efficacy, cues to action, perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, complete facilities, and community health center.

“…Ultimately, the perception and experience of pregnant deaf women during antenatal care may be hampered by the lack of adequate information received, and by their dissatisfaction compared to non-deaf pregnant antenatal attendees. Regrettably, despite the large body of research that has investigated and explored the perceptions and experiences of non-deaf pregnant women, studies on deaf pregnant women seeking antenatal care and services, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria, are scarce [23].…”

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) services provide access to integrated health management for several pregnancy related conditions. Unfortunately, deaf pregnant women remain vulnerable during pregnancy due to lack of access as well as communication barriers at antenatal clinics in Nigeria. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the experiences and satisfaction of pregnant deaf women with antenatal care in Nigeria. Methods: This was a qualitative study, conducted among nine deaf pregnant women from two local government areas, attending both private and public health facilities for antenatal care in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Data were collected using semi-structured, video recorded one-on-one interviews, with sign language as the medium of communication. The interviews were conducted until saturation of the themes was reached. The recorded interviews were precisely transcribed and thematic analyses were conducted on the data obtained. Findings: The mean age of the participants was 29.5 years. Participants indicated that they had registered/booked for antenatal care in their second trimester. Registration at this stage was regarded as late registration of the pregnancies. Communication difficulties during their ANC (antenatal care) visits, distance and location of the clinics, knowledge and perception of what ANC entailed, finance/cost, and health care professionals’ attitudes towards the participants were the major themes identified for late ANC bookings. Participants who attended privately owned health care facilities for ANC had more satisfaction with ANC care than those attending publicly owned health facilities. Conclusions: Deaf pregnant women were knowledgeable about ANC but registered late for the service, largely due to communication difficulties, distance to the clinic, cost, and the perceived attitudes of the health care workers. There existed a variance in the level of satisfaction of deaf pregnant women who attended private or public health facilities.

“…Due to this condition, women who live in neighborhoods have more access to maternal health services than women who live in rural regions, who have less access to such services [ 28 , [32] , [33] , [34] ]. Meanwhile, studies in Nigeria and Indonesia show those ladies who reside in rural regions influence local beliefs related to maternal care, so they prefer to perform ANC on traditional attendants [ 35 , 36 ]. On the other hand, the findings also conform with the study in Ethiopia.…”
