“…The sample size was calculated using power analysis with G*Power software (Faul et al, 2009 ) for linear multiple regression, with an effect size of 0.26 (Oduro et al, 2023 ), a power of 0.80, α = 0.05, and a total of ten predictors. This yielded a required sample size of 80 postpartum women with late ANC, including a 10% attrition rate.…”

Background: Late antenatal care (ANC) has significant implications for maternal and infant morbidity and mortality among Muslim pregnant women in Indonesia. Existing literature has primarily focused on gestational weeks at the first ANC contact, with limited attention to the total number of ANC visits. Objective: This study aimed to explore the factors predicting late antenatal care contact among Muslim pregnant women, including the gestational weeks of the first ANC contact and the total number of ANC visits in Aceh, Indonesia. Methods: A predictive correlational study design was utilized. Eighty postpartum women who received late ANC were purposively sampled and included in the study. Data were collected in May 2023 using ANC knowledge, beliefs, and social support questionnaires. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rank correlation, Chi-Square tests, and binary logistic regression with the enter method. Results: Pregnant women residing farther from home to ANC services were more likely to have their first ANC contact after 20 weeks than those with a shorter distance (AOR = 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02-1.10; p = 0.007). Additionally, women with a history of multiple abortions were more inclined to have four or more ANC visits compared to those with fewer abortions (AOR = 6.78; 95% CI: 1.64-28.09; p = 0.008). Conclusion: Distance from home to healthcare services emerged as a significant barrier to ANC contact, while a history of abortion appeared to motivate pregnant women to seek ANC more frequently. To address these issues effectively, nurses should consider implementing telemedicine services for ANC provision, integrating information on pregnancy complications to better support pregnant women in their care journey.

Aim The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and key predictors of late booking among pregnant women accessing antenatal care services in a rural district of Ghana. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods Data on demographic characteristics, knowledge of accessing antenatal care services and booking gestation were collected from 163 randomly selected pregnant women accessing accessing antenatal care in rural Ghana from 1 March 2022 to 30 April 2022 using a structured questionnaire. The chi‐square and logistic regression were used to explore associations between exposure and dependent variables. Results The prevalence of late accessing antenatal care booking among study participants was 44.8% (73/163). About 79.1% (129/163) of them had adequate knowledge of accessing antenatal care services. Maternal age of 35–49 years (AOR: 8.53, 95% CI: 2.41–30.12), participants whose partners had no formal education (AOR: 3.43, 95% CI: 1.03–11.39) and participants with adequate knowledge about accessing antenatal care services (AOR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07–0.62) were associated with late booking for accessing antenatal care services among study participants.

Objectives: Effective adherence to infection prevention and control practices is needed to reduce the rate of healthcare-acquired infections among healthcare workers. Policies to control healthcare-acquired infections among healthcare workers can be designed and implemented using information on adherence to infection prevention and control practices adherence and its determinants. This study, therefore, sought to assess the adherence to infection prevention and control practices among healthcare workers during the 2019 Coronavirus disease pandemic. Methods: A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted among 323 randomly selected healthcare workers in four health facilities in the Suame Municipality, Ghana. Data on participants’ socio-demographics, knowledge of infection prevention and control practices and adherence to infection prevention and control practices were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the effect of demographic characteristics and knowledge of infection prevention and control on adherence to infection prevention and control practices among study participants. Results: Over three-quarters (75.9%) of the study participants had adequate knowledge of infection prevention and control practices with a significant knowledge gap in the colour coding of bin liners for waste segregation (35.6%). The proportion of study participants who reported good adherence to infection prevention and control practices was 86.7%. Healthcare workers who were 33 years and above (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.27; 95% Confidence interval (CI): 0.08–0.92) and absence of an infection prevention and control committee at the facility AOR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.08–0.73) had reduced odds of good adherence to infection prevention and control practices. Nursing staff (AOR: 9.49, 95% CI: 2.51–35.87) and having adequate knowledge of infection prevention and control practices (AOR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.19–5.97) were associated with increased odds of good adherence to infection prevention and control practices. Conclusion: Adherence to infection prevention and control practices was high among this sample of Ghanaian healthcare workers. Interventions and strategies to improve adherence should include the setting up of infection prevention and control committees, education and strict observance of colour coding of bin liners for waste segregation and intensification of training of healthcare workers in infection prevention and control practices.
