“…The result of the study (Table 4) shows that the husband education is not related to the behavior of the husband in the care of pregnant women. The results are consistent with research from Wai (2015) which states that there is no relationship between education husband with husband's involvement the wife to go to the Antenatal/Prenatal (ANC) examination of more than once (AOR = 1.32, 95% AOR = 0.76 to 2.28). The results of subsequent studies show that income is not related to the behavior of the wife's pregnancy care.…”

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Banyumas District are still below The Minimum Service Standard (MSS), especially in Puskesmas (Public Health Center) I Ajibarang. The strategies for reducing maternal mortality are conducted by increasing mothers health status during pregnancy. This study aims at determining the factors of husbands role in womens prenatal care. Cross-sectional method was used. The populations were all of the pregnant women in Puskesmas I Ajibarang. Proportional random sampling was applied to select 90 pregnant women. Logistic regression was used to determine factors. Theory of planned behavior was used to explore the determinants of husbands role. The results show that the level of education, family income, the knowledge, the attitude, and subjective norm are not related to husbands role in mother prenatal care. However, husbands behavior control (p=0.045) and intention (p=0.000) have relation with husbands role in women prenatal care. Variable of intention is the most dominant variable related to husbands role in womens prenatal care.

“…The author explained the findings that this may be attributed to the fact that in different strata with varying educational level, the awareness regarding the importance of antenatal care is similar. The findings of our study showed that the husband's education is significantly associated with the antenatal care use (p<0.001) which is in line with the results of study by Wai KM et [11] al . Who found that educated husband were more frequently involved in prenatal care of mothers.…”

The study was conducted to determine the eﬀect of women and partner's education on utilization of antenatal services in the urban slums.STUDY DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in urban slums of Bahawalpur City from January 2018 to December 2018 after taking ethical approval from hospital ethical committee. Women of reproductive age n=377, between 15 to 49 years, having at least one alive child less than one year of age and irrespective of current pregnancy were included in the study. Out of selected slum area sample was drawn by non-probability consecutive method. The preformed, pretested questionnaire with the help of lady health workers of the areas was used for collection of data. RESULTS: Mean age of the respondents was 28.26 ± 6.03 years. The age distribution showed that 31.1% respondents belonged to 30-34 years age group followed by 29.7% in 25-29 years, 19.1% in 20-24 years. The utilization of antenatal services was poor in 41.1% (n=155), fair in 24.9% (n=94) and good in 34.0% (n=128) women. The utilization of antenatal services was signiﬁcantly higher in literate group (p <0.001). Regarding husband's educational status the wives of educated husbands had better utilization (p <0.001). The use of antenatal services among wives of uneducated and primary educated husbands was 67.8% and 61.5% respectively. The 52.1% women having graduate and above educational level of husband had good antenatal care use. CONCLUSION: Educational status signiﬁcantly aﬀect the utilization of antenatal services.

“…This low level is similar to what has been observed in Nepal [53], as well as in Ghana and other countries in Africa [54,55]. Other studies in Myanmar [56] and Uganda [57] have found a higher level of male participation during ANC contacts. Indeed, this seems to be very context-specific and variable within regions and even countries.…”

Background: To improve the utilization of maternal and newborn health (MNH) care and to improve the quality of care, the World Health Organization (WHO) has strongly recommended men's involvement in pregnancy, childbirth, and after birth. In this article, we examine women's preferences for men's involvement in MNH care in rural Bangladesh and how this compares to husbands' reported involvement by women. Methods: A cross-sectional household survey of 1367 women was administered in 2018 in the district of Brahmanbaria. Outcomes of interest included supporting self-care during pregnancy, participation in birth planning, presence during antenatal care, childbirth, and postnatal care, and participation in newborn care. Binary and multiple logistic regressions were done to understand the associations between the outcomes of interest and background characteristics. Results: Although women preferred a high level of involvement of their husbands in MNH care, husbands' reported involvement varied across different categories of involvement. However, women's preferences were closely associated with husbands' reported involvement. Around three-quarters of the women reported having been the primary decision makers or reported that they made the decisions jointly with their husbands. The likelihood of women reporting their husbands were actively involved in MNH care was 2.89 times higher when the women preferred their husbands to be involved in 3-4 aspects of MNH care. The likelihood increased to 3.65 times when the women preferred their husbands to be involved in 5-6 aspects. Similarly, the likelihood of husbands' reported active involvement was 1.43 times higher when they jointly participated in 1-2 categories of decisionmaking. The likelihood increased to 2.02 times when they jointly participated in all three categories.(Continued on next page)
