“…Another form of empathy found that staff attitude was significantly associated with late ANC service booking. 26 The dimension of responsiveness was statistically significant to positively contribute towards satisfaction by the recipients of ANC service in healthcare facilities. The results are indicative of the dimension's strong influence on satisfaction for the service in health facilities.…”

Background: Patient satisfaction in antenatal care (ANC) service delivery comes from good patient outcomes and the good quality of care that a patient receives. The objective of this study was to determine factors influencing the quality of ANC services in health facilities in Lusaka District in Zambia.Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design was used. The sample size was drawn from 20 public and private. From these institutions, a random sample of 385 participants (expectant mothers) was selected. Furthermore, 40 care-givers were selected as key informants. The questionnaires and interviews were employed to collect data. The data was analysed by performing factor analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 16.0.Results: There was a strong positive correlation between the variables: quality of ANC service and patient satisfaction, the relationship was not very strong as most of the dimensions of ANC were influencing satisfaction slightly above 60%. The empathy dimension was regarded to be the major predictor as it was rated highly in influencing for satisfaction with a Cronbach’s alpha score of above 0.8. However, the cost of service showed a strong negative correlation in relation to satisfaction.Conclusions: The study concludes that ANC services provision has an influence on the expectant mothers’ satisfaction. Different dimensions of antenatal care services influence satisfaction differently and a combination of several dimensions posts increased satisfaction.

Background Early detection, prevention, and management of diseases associated with pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions depend on the beginning of antenatal care contact in the first trimester. Across Africa, regional and national differences are observed in the proportion of first-trimester ANC contact and the factors contributing to it. To create a suitable intervention plan, it is crucial to overcome these differences through single standard and uniform guidelines. This can be achieved through meta-analysis and systematic reviews. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to assess the pooled prevalence of first trimester ANC contact and the factors contributing to it in Africa. Methods Observational studies conducted in Africa were retrieved from PubMed, Google Scholar, EMASE, CINHAL, Cochrane Library, Hinari databases and Mednar using combinations of search terms with Boolean operators. The JBI 2020 Critical Appraisal Checklist was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. To assess publication bias, a funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to and I-squared was used to check the heterogeneity of the included studies. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel and exported to Stata 16 software for analysis. Results A total of 86 articles with 224,317 study participants from 19 African countries were included. The overall pooled prevalence of first-trimester ANC contact was 37.15% (95% CI: 33.3–41.0; I2 = 99.8%). The following factors were found to be significantly associated with first-trimester ANC contact: urban residence (OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.5–3.1; I2 = 98.5%); women under the age of 25 (OR = 1.5; 95% CI: 1.2–1.9; I2 = 94.1%);, educational status (OR = 1.8; 95% CI: 1.4–2.2; I2 = 96.1%), primiparity (OR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2–2.4: I2 = 97.4%), having planned pregnancies (OR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.5–2.7; I2 = 95.5%) and employed women (OR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.7–2.1; I2 = 94.4%). Conclusion Because so few women in Africa initiate first-trimester ANC contact, it is clear that increasing maternal healthcare service uptake is still a challenge and will require significant effort to scale up the services. When working to improve maternal health in Africa, each nation's government and nongovernmental organizations should prioritize raising women's educational levels and providing pertinent information to rural women, focusing on reducing unintended pregnancies, women who live far from health facilities, women with low socioeconomic statuses, multiparous women and older women.
