“…An odd of not utilizing PNC service was 1.50 times higher among those mothers who made few ANC visits. Similar results found by [7] who that mothers who did not attend ANC more than four times had 4.10 times higher odds of risk of utilizing PNC services compare to who did.…”

“…Even more e cient strategies need to be planned to give education and awareness to the mothers, family and the community for better survival of mother and her infant. Contradictory results reported by [9,2,7] showed that mothers from urban area had utilized PNC services compared to rural mothers and signi cant association was also observed. This may be because in the present study rural women attended government hospitals and the strong network of ASHA workers and likely home visits increased the utilization of PNC services in rural area.…”

India has made tremendous progress in reducing MMR by 92 per cent since 2020, but still efforts are required to achieve the new SDG target. Vijayanagara district of Karnataka is a district of Kalyan Karnataka with poor maternal and infant health practices according to National family health survey V report. Hence the present study was conducted with the objective to assess the utilization of post-natal services (PNC) and study the factors influencing utilization of postnatal care services. A community based cross sectional study was conducted in the year 2021-23 in Vijayanagar district on a sample of 810 mothers within 3 months of delivery. Pre-tested questionnaire was used to elicit the information on utilization of postnatal care services and demographic information. SES scale by Agarwala et al. 2005 was used. Data was analyzed using SPSS package Version 26. Results revealed that the overall prevalence of utilization of postnatal care services was 32.46 per cent out of 810 mothers. Mothers between 29 to 32 years had utilized postnatal care services, mothers from middle SES (46.50 %) group, who had ANC attendance, who had knowledge on PNC services (36.30 %) were utilized all the recommended PNC services. Socioeconomic status, age of mother, number of ANC visits and knowledge on postnatal care services were found to be significant factors affecting postnatal care services utilization. The study revealed low level of utilization of postnatal care services among mother (32.46 %). This emphasizes the need to educate pregnant and lactating mothers regarding the importance of PNC services.

“…This study included only 20.6% (95% CI 17.6–23.4) of the women’s early postnatal care visits. These findings are lower than those of studies conducted in Adigrat town, Tigray, 34.3% [ 21 ]; Yirgalem town, Sidma, Ethiopia, 45.5% [ 22 ]; Hawassa Zuria District 27.7% [ 23 ]; and Lemmo District, Hadiya Zone, 24.9% [ 17 ].

Introduction Postnatal care is care that is provided to mothers and newborn baby after delivery. The care given after childbirth is the most critical time because most maternal and neonatal mortality occurs during this period. Utilization of this service is low in Ethiopia, and no evidence exists to describe the status of early postnatal care service utilization among women in the study area. Objective This study aimed to assess the utilization of early postnatal care services and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the last 12 months in the South Gondar Zone District, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, in 2021. Method This study was conducted in South Gondar Zone Districts from October 1 to 30, 2021. A total of 761 participants were included in this study using a simple random sampling method. The study participants were mothers who gave birth in the last 12 months. The data were collected via interview-guided semistructured questionnaires. The collected data were coded and entered into EPI Info version 7.2 and exported into SPSS version 23 for analysis. Both binary and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify factors affecting the outcome variables. The results of the final model are presented as the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A P value less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results In this study, 761 mothers participated, for a response rate of 100%. The overall prevalence of early utilization of postnatal care services was 20.6%. Mothers who live in urban areas were five times more likely to have early visits than those living in rural areas with adjusted odds ratio [AOR (95% CI) = 5.2 (3.19, 8.54)], a mothers who had a history of more than four parity had more likely to visit than the others at [AOR (95% CI) = 2.25 (1.18, 4.29)], mothers who had a history of pregnancy had two times more likely to visit than the other [AOR (95% CI) = 2.06 (1.05, 4.05)], and mothers who had delivered by instrumental vaginal delivery or cesarean section delivery and those mothers who had mass media exposure were two and five times more likely to visit, respectively [AOR (95% CI) = 2.62 (1.40, 4.91)] and [AOR (95% CI) = 5.18 (2.55, 10.52)]. Conclusion and recommendation Compared with those of other studies, the overall prevalence of early utilization of postnatal care services was low. Improving mothers’ knowledge of early postnatal care visits is very important for enhancing quality of life and minimizing neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality.

“…The association between early postnatal care service utilization and factors indicative of planned and supported pregnancy, as indicated in the study from Hawassa Zuria district [ 28 ], contrasts with the findings of our study. Also, studies conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa [ 31 ], Ethiopia [ 33 , 39 ], and Nigeria [ 38 ] found that receiving antenatal care was positively correlated with PNC service utilization.…”

Background: Despite the significance of postnatal care for maternal health, the attendance rate of mothers at postnatal clinics (PNCs) in primary healthcare (PHC) centers in Bahrain is low. This study aims to identify factors influencing women's attendance at PNC in PHC centers in the Kingdom of Bahrain and to propose strategies for service improvement. Methods: In January 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional study. We selected mothers who gave birth between six and 12 months before the survey and met inclusion criteria using systematic simple random sampling and obtained consent (n = 319). Data collection utilized an electronic, structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire, and analysis was carried out using SPSS version 28 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results: Out of the 319 participants, 31% were unaware of the existence of PNC, 42% were aware but did not attend, and 27% were aware and had attended the clinic. Mother and child department clerks, doctors, health education boards, and midwives served as the primary sources of information about the PNC for only 34%, 16%, 16%, and 11% of participants, respectively. Understanding the importance of PNC, the services offered by a healthcare worker, the booking process, having a vaginal delivery, and prior experience with a PNC visit were significantly associated with PNC attendance (p = 0.0046, p = 0.027, p < 0.001, p = 0.028, and p < 0.001, respectively). The attendance of 81 mothers, representing 94% of the total women who attended the clinic, was driven by their acknowledgment of the service's importance. Childcare responsibilities, perception of the visit as unimportant, and reluctance to undergo a pelvic examination were the top reasons for not attending the clinic, despite 41%, 38%, and 37% of participants being aware of it. Conclusion: Postnatal care attendance remains suboptimal for mothers in Bahrain. Awareness of the clinic's presence, counseling by healthcare providers, and prior experience with PNC visits were found to be significant determinants of attendance.
