“…The autonomy of the mother and the decision-making process has a significant contribution in reaching care on time. A study reports that the process is influenced by various other factors such as women education, belief system of family, resource scarcities and financial constraints [20].…”

Introduction. Birth preparedness is crucial for health quality of mother and newborn and acts as a strong contributor in mitigating maternal and newborn mortalities. Different factors are predicted to have an influence upon birth preparedness practice. This paper aims at exploring relationship between various factors and birth preparedness practice. Methods. A cross-sectional study design was used to find out the relationship between various factors and birth preparedness practice. One hundred sixty-five women residing at ward number 1 of Rapti Municipality, Chitwan who delivered in the last twelve months were selected consecutively and interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and bivariate techniques. Results. Three quarters (75.2%) of the respondents had better birth preparedness, institutional delivery was 63.0%, antenatal care (ANC) visit as per protocol was about 62.0%, and about 90% of the respondents had received counseling during ANC. Age, religion, family types, education, age at marriage, parity, number of children, knowledge on birth preparedness, knowledge on danger sign, place for ANC and delivery, and decision-makers were found to be statistically significant (P value < 0.05) with birth preparedness practice. Conclusion. Better knowledge on birth preparedness led to a better preparedness status. Age, religion, family type, education of women and partners, parity, and number of children were the factors that influence birth preparedness. Counseling during ANC played a significant role in birth preparedness.

“…While it has been estimated and studied in previous research in Ethiopian context [26], limited number of articles were included in the former article [26] and did not address factors affecting for low utilization of BPCR. However, there was a narrative synthesis of qualitative information on implementation of BPCR [27]. But in the motioned study [27] review the existing article using narrative review, which was prone selection and evaluation bias and even not reproducible.…”

Background: Birth preparedness and complication readiness are broadly endorsed by governments and international agencies to reduce maternal and neonatal health threats in low income countries. Maternal education is broadly positioned to positively affect the mother's and her children's health and nutrition in low income countries. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the effect of maternal education on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Methods: This review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. We conducted an electronic based search using data bases of PubMed /MEDLINE, Science direct and google scholar. STATA™ Version 14.1 was used to analyze the data, and forest plots were used to present the findings. I 2 test statistics and Egger's test were used to assess heterogeneity and publication bias. Pooled prevalence and pooled odd ratios with 95% confidence intervals were computed. Finally, Duval and Tweedie's nonparametric trim and fill analysis using random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to account for publication bias. Results: In this meta-analysis, 20 studies involving 13,744 pregnant women meeting the inclusion criteria were included, of which 15 studies reported effects of maternal education on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Overall estimated level of birth preparedness and complication readiness was 25.2% (95% CI 20.0, 30.6%). This meta-analysis found that maternal education and level of birth preparedness and complication readiness were positively associated. Pregnant mothers whose level of education was primary and above were more likely to prepare for birth and obstetric emergencies (OR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.9, 3.1) than non-educated mothers. Conclusion: In Ethiopia, the proportion of women prepared for birth and related complications remained low. Maternal education has a positive effect on the level of birth preparedness and complication readiness. Therefore, it is imperative to launch programs at national and regional levels to uplift women's educational status to enhance the likelihood of maternal health services utilization.

“…The overall nding of this study showed a huge gap in the utilization of BP/CR by male partners of pregnant women and nursing mothers in low-and middle-income countries. This indicates the higher maternal and neonatal mortality in the global south could be attributed to the underutilization of birth preparedness and complication readiness packages by male partners, as lack of funds for the birth of the child and emergency case during the delivery and postpartum period coupled with being poorly prepared to identify potential blood donor for probable emergency largely delays access to emergency obstetrics and newborn care (EmONC) in event of complication [60][61][62]. Therefore, policymakers and program planners should make targeted intervention by reviewing maternal and neonatal healthcare delivery guidelines to include context-speci c evidence and develop evidence-informing interventions promoting male partner's active involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness [63,64].…”

Background: The lower priority given for involving male partners in birth preparedness and complication readiness contributes to the poor maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Male partners in low- and middle-income countries determine women’s access to and affordability of health services and directly influence their health outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis determine the pooled magnitude of the male partner’s participation in birth preparedness and complication readiness in the global south.Methods: Literature published in the English language from 2004 to 2019 was retrieved using appropriate search terms on Google Scholar, PubMed/MEDLINE, CINHAL, Scopus, and Embase. The Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI) was used for critical appraisal of studies. A pooled statistical meta-analysis was conducted using STATA Version 14.0 software. The heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed using the I2 statistics and Egger’s test, respectively. Duval and Tweedie's nonparametric trim and fill analysis using the random-effect analysis. The Random effects model was used to estimate the summary prevalence of BPCR and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: 12 studies and 4210 participants were included. The overall pooled result showed 52.3% of male partners of pregnant women and nursing mothers were prepared for birth and its complications. Forty-nine percent of male partners saved money for delivery and 40.5% of them identified skilled birth attendants, and 55% of male partners saved money for birth or its complication. Only 42.1% of male partners arranged transportation and 59.8% of them identified the place of birth. Only 18.9% of male partners identified a potential blood donor for emergency cases of childbirth and postpartum complication.Conclusions: A low proportion of male partners of pregnant women and nursing mothers were prepared for childbirth and its complications. Countries in the global south region should review their health care policies and design strategies to improve the birth preparedness and complication readiness practice among male partners of pregnant women and nursing mothers.
