Title

Assessment Of The Pregnant Mothers Compliance With The 2016 World Health Organization Antenatal Care Policy In Ebonyi State, Nigeria.

Abstract

This is a before-and-after intervention study conducted among policymakers, health providers, and ANC users. There is inconsistent antenatal care (ANC) contact between health providers and beneficiaries in Nigeria despite the 2016 ANC World Health Organization (WHO) policy aimed at person-centred care. The objective of this study was to assess the 2016 ANC policy compliance on pregnant women as beneficiaries in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The intervention comprised orientation workshops and sensitization of ANC users. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, as well as review of secondary data from the District Health Information System version 2 (DHIS 2) before and three months after the interventions to assess effectiveness. Good compliance with the 2016 ANC policy were determined by a mean score >3.0. Data were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The result showed compliance (mean score =2.17). After the intervention, there was an improvement with the achievement of eight ANC contacts in PHCs in the urban areas. Living in an urban area is a predictor of complying with the 2016 ANC policy (OR=0.391, 95% C.I of OR=0.173-0.886). Continuous sensitization of pregnant women and their significant household relatives, especially the spouses and mother-in-laws on new health policies should be prioritized.
