THE EFFECT OF RECEIVING ANTENATAL CARE ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND DELIVERY MODE PREFERENCE OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO ATTENDED TO KAYSERI MATERNITY HOSPITAL
Abstract
This study was conducted to identify antenatal care receiving status among pregnant women and the effect of receiving antenatal care on the birth mode preference and quality of life.
The sample of this descriptive study consists of 2600 pregnant women who were attended and hospitalized in Kayseri Education and Research Hospital Maternity Clinic. The data were collected by the Pregnancy Evaluation Questionnaire which determines pregnant women’s socio-demographic attributes and WHOOQL-BREF quality of life scale. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS package program version 20.0. One-way ANOVA was used on analysis of the data and t test was performed on independent groups. A P-value <0.05 was considered significant at all analyzes.
The mean age of pregnant women who participated in the study was 26.3±5.6 years and a majority of them (61.6%) were between 19-30 years. A great proportion of pregnant women (89.3%) who participated in the study were housewives. Almost all of the pregnant women (95.4%) had social security.
Almost all pregnant women (99.6%) took antenatal care. A total of 63% of the pregnant women received antenatal care from a state hospital, 32.4% from a private hospital, 25.2% from a family doctor and 2.9% from a university hospital. A total of 58.5% of the pregnant women decided to give birth by normal delivery, 35% decided to cesarean section, and 6.5% had not decided yet.
Furthermore, 97.0% of the pregnant women started receiving ANC in the first trimester and 91.6% stated that they received ANC once a month. The mean quality of life scores of pregnant women who received ANC in the first trimester of their pregnancy is higher in all domains. The mean quality of life scores of pregnant women participating in the study increased as the frequency of ANC visits increase.
It is concluded that considering the factors affecting the quality of life of pregnant women during the planning and delivery of antenatal care services can contribute to maternal and infant health.
