Also there was no statistical significant difference regarding all knowledge, attitude and practice items about antenatal care between the study and the control group before instructional package implementation. However, a highly statistically significant difference (p-values < 0.001) was observed between the study and the control group one month after instructional package implementation. Additionally total knowledge, total attitude and total practices regarding antenatal care were greatly improved after instructional package implementation than pre implementation among study group while there were minimal improvements after instructional package implementation than pre implementation among control group. Also the majority of pregnant women in the study group were satisfied with the antenatal instructional package implementation.

“…It was observed that in low -middle income countries, a group ante natal education helps pregnant women to build skills and confidence, share experiences and resources, and socialize with one another [13]. Reference [14] observed that education and information provided during ante natal care would have positive impact on willingness to access and health-seeking behaviors towards ante natal care service.

Background: There is no structured content and modalities for the delivery of antenatal education in Nigerian healthcare institutions. Hence, the lack of knowledge on salient issues that are pivotal to survival of mothers and their babies among childbearing women. This study assessed the contents and mode of delivery of antenatal education from the perspective of care providers. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted using structured questionnaire developed by the researchers for data collection. One hundred and ten nurses were recruited across various healthcare institutions in Oyo state, Nigeria to participate in the study. Results: The mean age of the nurses is 39.7 with standard deviation of 10.1. About half (43.6%) of them have first degree in Nursing, while one-third (31.8%) are at the lower cadre of Nursing (Nursing officer II). The most common five topics taught by the nurses as reported are; hygiene (98.2%), diet (84.6%), immunization (31.8%), birth preparedness (31.8%), and breastfeeding (28.2%). The most common mode of delivery is face-to-face teaching (98.2%) while e-teaching is least employed (20.9%). Pictures (87.3%) and posters (79.1%) are the most common materials used for teaching while majority (72.7%) provide fliers as teaching materials to their clients. Majority (98.2%) of the nurses’ state that they provide antenatal education to serve as learning forum for their clients, however, very few (17.3%) stated that they provide antenatal education to keep their clients busy while waiting for doctor’s consultation. Conclusion: There is no structured content for antenatal education being offered to pregnant women during antenatal clinic. However, every pregnant woman attending antenatal clinic will benefit from balanced information that will enhance positive pregnancy outcome from her care provider. Hence the need for structured content and modalities of delivery of antenatal education in Nigeria.

“…Evidence on geographical nearness to health care in developing countries abound in the available literature including those from Ghana such as [3,13], Nigeria [14][15][16][17], Zambia [14,15], Pakistan [4,20], Yemen [7], Indonesia [21]. Hence, physical closeness to health care can play a major role in the utilization of health services [13], in their study to investigate women's accounts of interactions with health care providers during labour and delivery in Ghana, revealed that physical access to health care is a major barrier affecting health care utilization.…”

Background: Accessibility to healthcare is a major component of primary health care campaign for maintaining population health. Owing to this, the government of Ghana has instituted the free maternal care and focused antenatal care policies into the maternal health care policies to woefully control maternal mortality, morbidity and to ensure improved access, quality and continuous ANC use among pregnant women. Despite these interventions, pregnant women in the Kwabre East Municipality do not fully use ANC services as recommended by the World Health Organization.Methods: Using an in-depth interview and two focus groups conducted with women of reproductive age (15-49) in the Kwabre East Municipality. The study investigated women's opinions, perceptions and experiences on their ANC visits. Results:The study revealed that physical accessibility and the social context of pregnant women continue to infl uence their ANC use even after the introduction of the free maternal care and focused antenatal care policies. Conclusion:The study suggests that in order to fully utilize ANC visits as recommended by the WHO in the Kwabre East Municipality, the Municipal Health Directorate should liaise with collaborating stakeholders if not eliminating to limit the infl uence of restrictive factors to women's quest of using ANC. It is further recommended that management do away with hindrances that delay women who seek for ANC services in health facilities and adopt strategies and procedures that aim at increasing ANC uptake.
