Background: Postnatal period is a vulnerable time, because most maternal and new born deaths occur during this period, especially immediately after childbirth. Postnatal care in the first hours and days after childbirth could prevent the great majority of these deaths. The objective of study was to assess the utilization of post-natal care and associated factors for low utilization in urban area of Jabalpur district.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried 360 mothers who delivered in last one year in urban area of Jabalpur district. Sampling method was multistage sampling method. A total 36 wards with 10 mothers from each ward was selected. The questionnaire included information related to mode of delivery, post-natal checkups and visits of health care providers.Results: Among 360 mothers, 93.9% mothers received first postnatal check-up within 24 hrs. 1.11% of mothers between 2-3 days and 1.67% of mothers received first postnatal check-up between 4-7 days while 3.33% of mothers didn’t receive any postnatal check-up. Regarding number of post-natal visits, 58.33% mothers received 3 or more postnatal visits, 35% of mother received 2 PNC visits, while 3.3% did not receive a single postnatal visit. The education of mothers, joint type of family, high socioeconomic status, early registration of pregnancy, minimum 4 ANC visits and institutional deliveries were found significantly associated with utilization of postnatal check-up.Conclusions: Utilization of postnatal services is still poor in the urban areas even though the physical accessibility was adequate. In the present study, it was concluded that the role of education, especially of female education, is important contributing factor associated with utilization of postnatal care.

“…In a study it is found that "…one of the most important works of ASHA workers was to provide antenatal and postnatal care services to women residing in her field service area. These services enable women to receive important services, such as tetanus vaccinations and screening and treatment for infections, as well as potentially life-saving information on warning signs during pregnancy" (7). Nineteen respondents in Shikarpur and only three women in Hatighisa received health services from AWWs.…”

Despite the implementation of various national programs in India, maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity remain persistently high in tribal areas, primarily due to a lack of awareness about Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services among tribal women. This study was strategically designed to evaluate the knowledge levels of married tribal women in the reproductive age group regarding MCH services. The focus of this investigation is to understand the awareness about mother and child health services among tribal women in the reproductive age group in two villages, Shikarpur of Jalpaiguri and Hatighisa of Darjeeling district in West Bengal. A total of 100 (50 from each village) married women of reproductive age group were selected. All the participants were interviewed using a survey schedule. Among 100 respondents, 68% completed primary education. A significant proportion of child-birth/deliveries (81%) occur at home, prompting the need for safer institutional deliveries. Prenatal and postnatal care practices vary, with 68% receiving two Tetanus Toxoid doses. Healthcare consultations during sickness show diversity and 57 individuals did not seek any. Breastfeeding initiation within 24 hours was observed. Introducing complementary foods occurred mostly between 0-6 months. The study underscores the necessity for targeted interventions to improve vaccination coverage and healthcare-seeking behaviors, and emphasizes promoting exclusive breastfeeding for enhanced maternal and child well-being.

Context: India accounts for 17% of the population, contributes to about 19% of maternal deaths, and 21% of childhood deaths of the world. Antenatal and postnatal services were one of the most important works done by ASHA workers. Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the services provided by ASHA workers in a district of western Utter Pradesh to her beneficiaries regarding antenatal and postnatal care. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was done in four randomly selected blocks of the district with the help of simple random sampling technique. Subjects and Methods: A total of 384 study participants (mother having child up to 2 years of age) who availed services from the ASHA of their village. Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using SPSS-24.0, IBM Corp., Chicago, USA. Differences between the groups were compared using the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 384 beneficiaries of ASHA workers regarding antenatal and post-natal services, only 25% educated up to ≥higher secondary. Most of the beneficiaries (>55%) escorted less than four times for ANC, whereas only 0.5% of beneficiaries received the correct number i.e., 180 or > 180 IFA tablet from the ASHA workers.
