ABSTRACT
This research was on the attitude of women towards attendance of antenatal clinic at Urban Maternity Clinic Kofar Arewa Hadejia Local Government area of Jigawa state. The purpose of the study was to encourage women in this area to attend antenatal clinic in order to reduce maternal mortality, prevent common infections and other complications in pregnancy in this clinic. The target population was pregnant mothers. The United Nations statistical data on ANC at the Urban Maternities stated that, over half a million women die yearly from pregnancy complications and childbirth related complications. This mostly happens to the least privileged or poorest part of the world where the risk of women dying at child birth was 1 in 6, compared to Northern part of Europe with 1 in 30,000. In Sub-Saharan Africa however, a woman’s risk of dying from preventable pregnancy and child birth complications was 1 in 221. Questionnaire method was used to collect data, and simple percentages were used to analyse it. The findings showed that most of the women were not attending antenatal due to cultural, religious and socio-economic factors. Some of the recommendations included: Government should provide more health care in each of the Local Government Areas, should make efforts by establishing small units of antenatal care clinic (ANC) in various wards to ensure an effective antenatal care delivery. Women should make individual and personal efforts to continue advising their husbands to grant them permission and provide financial support to enable them purchase routine drugs and to attend antenatal clinic .The staff on duty should engage in home visits to find out the reasons for missing the appointment days.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Safe maternity with improved neonatal outcome is predicated on proper antenatal care service; however, obstetricians and gynaecologists recommended that pregnant women can exercise moderately for 30 minutes on most days of the week.
“A safe motherhood initiative” is a global effort to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity and any other complicated cases that may occur during pregnancy and during delivery. It is a comprehensive health service and aims at ensuring improvement in the quality and safety of lives of women through adoption of health and non-health strategies in Nigeria.
Ante-natal care is a branch of preventive medicine dealing with prevention and early detection of pregnancy disorders.
Attention to clean and hygienic delivery practices (WHO, 2013) and the provision of essential care for the new-born, such as thermal protection and early exclusive breastfeeding WHO, (2016) are important for the health care facility. Community and primary care level intervention aimed at increasing the critical element of ANC have been found to be highly cost effective.
Auwal Sultan (2006), said, a good number of those who receive ante-natal care in rural areas prefer to deliver at home attended by traditional birth attendants or relatives who are well versed in local traditional practice and custom but not necessarily safe health practice as the case may be.
Olise (2007) said ideally, booking in the ANC unit for pregnant women should be done not later than 18 weeks of gestation so that appropriate intervention measures can be affected where indicated.
Statement of the Problem
The attitude of women towards ante-natal care in urban maternity clinic kofarArewa Hadejia, LGA has been of public health concern in Jigawa State, despite effort by government, non-governmental Organization, Donors agencies and Stakeholders to increase programme at all levels aimed at improving ante-natal care and prevention of complicated cases that may be caused by pregnancy and delivery. This leads to increase in high ill-health and maternal deaths among women of child-bearing age.
Hundreds of millions of women every year suffer inter uterine foetal dealth (IUFD), pregnancy induced hypertension and other pregnancy complications Gyasier (2006). This study therefore, seeks to find out the attitude of women towards antenatal care in urban maternity clinic Kofar Arewa Hadejia.
