Background: Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPACR) is a strategy that promotes timely use of skilled care and deal with emergencies especially during childbirth, by encouraging pregnant mothers and their families to make effective plan for child birth. The objective of the study was to assess the awareness and practices of BPACR among women who had delivered in last 24 month and identify the predictors of favourable BPACR.Methods: A cross sectional, community based study was conducted in a slum of Chetla, Kolkata, among 98 women who delivered during the previous 2 years. Data were collected with a structured, interview schedule after obtaining informed consent from them. Results: Out of 98 women only 43 (43.9%) were well prepared for birth and its complication in their last pregnancy. 32.7% women were knowledgeable about danger sign of pregnancy. 100% of study participants identified the place of delivery and made a birth plan with discuss with family members. Bivariate logistic regression shows education status of study subject OR (CI) 4.34 (1.4712.8), education status of their spouse OR (CI) 2.92 (1.187.24) and per capita income OR (CI) 7.18 (2.6619.34) have significant association with birth preparedness. However in multivariable logistic regression after adjustment with different confounding variable only income remained significant AOR (CI) 5.82 (2.0816.29). Conclusions: The poor status of BPACR as observed in this study calls for increased emphasis on counselling of pregnant women and their families regarding the different components of birth preparedness.

“…This difference was also found to be significant (p<0.001). 27 In a study by Affipunguh et al, rural area (p=0.044) and high education (p=0.007) were significantly associated with birth preparedness. No statistical association was found between age group, occupation, marital status and religion with birth preparedness.…”

Background: Maternal health and healthy outcome of a pregnancy are the core focus of all the programmes related to maternal and child health. Most of the causes of maternal morbidity and mortality are preventable. So we need to introduce new strategies according to the need of beneficiaries to reduce the underlying causes which ultimately lead to morbidities or complications during pregnancy. Birth preparedness is a kind of strategy which can help the mothers to plan out their pregnancy to combat the complications arising during pregnancy, childbirth or puerperium. The aims and objectives were to study the birth preparedness amongst the women, to study effect of various socio demographic determinants on birth preparedness and to find out relation between maternal morbidity and mortality with birth preparedness. Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted in Jamnagar. 450 women were selected by 30 cluster sampling. Data analysis was done with Microsoft office Excel and SPSS 20, Chi square test was applied. Results: 11.33% women were fully prepared, 67.33% were partially prepared while 96 women were not prepared at all. Education, place of delivery, parity and knowledge of danger signs has statistically significant association with birth preparedness in cases of both maternal mortalities, women were not at all prepared. Conclusions: Birth preparedness practices need to be improved. Education, parity, place of delivery, knowledge about danger signs are associated with birth preparedness practices. Birth preparedness can help in decreasing maternal morbidities and mortalities.
