“…Women aged between 25 to 34 years old were more likely to receive sufficient ANC compared to the younger or older age group. As it also happens in some other countries, research from Uganda and Nepal also found the same results which are in line with our study [29,30]. Regarding this finding, there are a lot of controversial discussions about the age of women and when they seek maternal health support.…”

“…Similar finding was reported by Pandey et al (2014) [13] in their study, who reported that women with higher education were twice more likely to receive antenatal care than women with no education.

Introduction: In India, every year 28 million pregnancies take place of which 67,000 die due to maternal causes and one million women are left with chronic illnesses. Antenatal care is an important determinant of maternal and perinatal mortality. In India, full antenatal care utilization is only 21% (NFHS-4), which is far below the satisfactory level. Aim & Objectives: To find out the socio-demographic factors affecting the utilization of full antenatal care services among recently delivered women. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from Feb 2017-Feb 2018 among 500 pregnant females who recently delivered at PGIMS Rohtak. An interview schedule was used for data collection & data were analyzed using SPSS vs 20.0 and appropriate statistical tests were applied. Results: Out of 500 subjects-70.4% belonged to rural areas, 97.4% were Hindus, 81.4% were literate, 77.2% were unemployed & only 26.4% belonged to below poverty line. Majority (97%) of participants underwent ANC checkup, 75% got themselves registered in first trimester, 92.2% of study subjects received 2 doses of TT/ booster. 49.9% of study subjects had 4-7 ANC visits, 38.2% of study subjects consumed more than 100 IFA tablets. 61% of study subjects did not receive full ANC. Significant (p< 0.05) association was found between mother's education & full ANC utilization. Conclusion: Women and their family members need to be educated about the utilization of ANC services and their role in pregnancy.

INTRODUCTIONAccording to the World Health Organization report, women of childbearing age (aged between 15-49 years) constitute more than one-fifth of the world's population and are repeatedly exposed to the risk of pregnancy and childbearing.1 Every year half a million women face untimely death due to complications during pregnancy, childbirth or after six weeks following delivery. It has also been reported that 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries. To prevent undesirable events during pregnancy, antenatal care (ANC) is considered to be the most essential component of maternal and child health services to identify pregnancy related problems in ABSTRACTBackground: Pregnancy-related complications are one of the leading causes of death among women in the reproductive ages in developing countries. Antenatal care is an essential component for reducing maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. The study had been made an attempt to investigate the socio-demographic determinants of antenatal care seeking behavior among women in Bangladesh. Methods: Present study used secondary data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS-2011) with married women aged between 15-49 years. Results were obtained by adopting data reduction procedure and multinomial logistic regression model. Results: Factor analysis procedure had been used to determine two factors: (F1) "current status of age & reproductive experience" -consisted of the variables respondent's age, partner's age, marital duration, and number of living children; and (F2) "initial status of marital age & birth" -consisted of the variables age at marriage and age at 1st birth. These two factors were used in the subsequent analysis instead of the six demographic variables. The logistic regression analysis indicated region, type of place of residence, education, wealth index, Mass media exposure and two extracted factors had significant influence on antenatal care seeking behavior in Bangladesh.Conclusions: This study suggests that cultural issues, demographic and socioeconomic status are important determinants of Antenatal care seeking behaviour. Appropriate programs for strengthening female education and women empowerment should be to improve the health of mothers and children in the country.
