“…Moreover, education is again proven to play a role in a person’s perception of health services quality [ 48 , 49 ]. Several previous studies also found results in line with this research in various countries, including Kenya, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia [ 50 – 52 ]. Several other lessons also inform that education is a robust positive determinant of boosting performance in the health sector [ 3 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Background The government is obliged to guarantee equal access to antenatal care (ANC) between urban and rural areas. This study aimed to analyze urban-rural disparities in ≥4 ANC visits during pregnancy in the Philippines and Indonesia. Methods The study processed data from the 2017 PDHS and the 2017 IDHS. The analysis unit was women aged 15–49 years old who had given birth in the last 5 years. The weighted sample size was 7992 respondents in the Philippines and 14,568 respondents in Indonesia. Apart from ANC as the dependent variable, other variables analyzed were residence, age, husband/partner, education, parity, and wealth. Determination of urban-rural disparities using binary logistic regression. Results The results show that women in the urban Philippines are 0.932 times more likely than women in the rural Philippines to make ≥4 ANC visits. On the other side, women in urban Indonesia are more likely 1.255 times than women in rural Indonesia to make ≥4 ANC visits. Apart from the type of residence place (urban-rural), five other tested multivariate variables also proved significant contributions to ANC’s use in both countries, i.e., age, have a husband/partner, education, parity, and wealth status. Conclusions The study concluded that disparities exist between urban and rural areas utilizing ANC in the Philippines and Indonesia. Pregnant women in the rural Philippines have a better chance of making ≥4 ANC visits. Meanwhile, pregnant women in urban Indonesia have a better chance of making ≥4 ANC visits.

“…Rural dwellers might face transportation problem to access the service [ 78 , 79 , 85 , 86 ]. Moreover, urban dwellers might have mass media accesses on importance of antenatal care [ 61 , 87 – 89 ]. Since 74% of (Table 3 ) women resided in rural part of the country, more effort is expected from the government to increase the number of ANC at national level.…”

Background The frequency of antenatal care utilization enhances the effectiveness of the maternal health programs to maternal and child health. The aim of the study was to determine the number of antenatal care and associated factors in Ethiopia by using 2019 intermediate EDHS. Methods Secondary data analysis was done on 2019 intermediate EDHS. A total of 3916.6 weighted pregnant women were included in the analysis. Zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis was done by Stata version 14.0. Incident rate ratio and odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval were used to show the strength and direction of the association. Result About one thousand six hundred eighty eight (43.11%) women were attending four and more antenatal care during current pregnancy. Attending primary education (IRR = 1.115, 95% CI: 1.061, 1.172), secondary education (IRR = 1.211, 95% CI: 1.131, 1.297) and higher education (IRR = 1.274, 95% CI: 1.177, 1.378), reside in poorer household wealth index (IRR = 1.074, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.152), middle household wealth index (IRR = 1.095, 95% CI: 1.018, 1.178), rich household wealth index (IRR = 1.129, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.212) and richer household wealth index (IRR = 1.186, 95% CI: 1.089, 1.29) increases the number of antenatal care utilization. The frequency of antenatal care was less likely become zero among women attending primary (AOR = 0.434, 95% CI: 0.346, 0.545), secondary (AOR = 0.113, 95% CI: 0.053, 0.24), higher educational level (AOR = 0.052, 95% CI: 0.007, 0.367) in the inflated part. Conclusion The number of antenatal care utilization is low in Ethiopia. Being rural, poorest household index, uneducated and single were factors associated with low number of antenatal care and not attending antenatal care at all. Improving educational coverage and wealth status of women is important to increase the coverage and frequency of antenatal care.

“…The level of someone's wealth is a factor that in uences the pattern of access to health services, including institutional delivery 23,24 . The higher the level of wealth, the better education and knowledge that will in uence behavior patterns in accessing health services 25,26 . Based on the dynamics of these problems, this study aims to analyze the effect of the husband's education level on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia.…”

Background: The husband's involvement in ANC is a form of the husband's responsibility for his wife's health. This study aims to analyze the effect of the husband's education level on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia.Methods: The study employed the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data. The unit of analysis was poor coupled with wives aged 15-49 years old and had been pregnant for the past five years. Samples of 6,414 couple were obtained. Besides the husband's education, other independent variables analyzed in this study were of the place of residence, age, occupation, and wife’s parity. A binary logistic regression test was occupied in the final stage.Results: The results showed that husbands who had primary education were 1.470 times more likely than no education husbands for husband's involvement in ANC visit. Husbands who have secondary education were likely 2.129 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. Meanwhile, a husband who has a higher education was probably 3.618 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. In addition to the education level, 3 other variables proved to be significantly influential on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the people in Indonesia, namely place of residence, occupation, and wife’s parity.Conclusion: The husband's education level was a determinant of the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia. The better the education level, the more likely it is that husband's involvement in the ANC visit.
