| مستخلص: | Objective: To investigate the role of predisposing factors, enabling factors, and illness factors as the determinants of adequate use of prenatal care services in a Pakistani district. Methods: The study was conducted in Bahawalpur district of the Punjab province of Pakistan from October 2016 to February 2017.The district was divided into 34 clusters and, using stratified cluster sampling, subjects were enrolled. Only those households were considered in every cluster where at least one married female of reproductive age 15- 49 years had given birth to at least one child four preceding years. If the number of births were more than one, then the information about the most recent live birth was recorded. Information regarding prenatal care services used during the pregnancy was recorded through female enumerators. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate if the use of prenatal care services was either adequately or inadequately determined by a set of predisposing, enabling, and illness factors. Results: Of the 1200 individuals initially approached, 1111(92.6%) agreed to participate. Amongst the explanatory variables, 7 predisposing factors were identified. They were: birth interval, birth order of the child, educational levels (of woman and her partner), woman's freedom of movement, having knowledge about pregnancy complications, and unplanned pregnancy. Also, 4 enabling factors identified were: profession of the partner, wealthiness, urban place of residence, and involvement of male in maternal healthcare. Conclusions: Use of prenatal care services cannot achieve adequate level without alleviating gender discrimination in education and knowledge provision, rural-urban disparities in healthcare infrastructure provision, and income inequalities between rich and poor masses. |
