Abstract
Background: The wealth of the nation is its healthy population. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizen who should be healthy. The mother’s contribution in creating a healthy population is beyond explaining. The mother must be prepared physically, emotionally and socially to bring forth a healthy child. Objective of the Study: The study aimed at awareing the antenatal mothers about perception regarding family support and utilization of maternal services. Material and Method: A Correlational study was conducted to assess the perception regarding family support and utilization of maternal services among antenatal mothers at Civil Hospital, Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Purposive sampling was done to obtain a sample of 60 antenatal mothers in month of December 2011. Rating scale and checklist was prepared to assess the perception regarding family support and utilization of maternal services among antenatal mothers. The data was gathered and analyzed by using statistical techniques such as mean score, mean percentage, standard deviation (SD), Karl pearson’s coefficient of correlation, ‘t’ test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings: The findings showed that majority 100% of antenatal mothers had positive feeling on perception regarding family support and utilized adequate maternal services. The correlation between perception and utilization among antenatal mothers was positive (r=0.19). Gravida and source of information had significant impact on the perception regarding family support among antenatal mothers. Age, level of education, occupation, education of husband, occupation of husband, family monthly income, place of residence and PHC availability had no impact on perception regarding family support among antenatal mothers. Source of information had significant impact on the utilization of maternal services among antenatal mothers. Age, level of education, occupation, gravida, education of husband, occupation of husband, family monthly income, place of residence and PHC availability had no impact on utilization of maternal services among antenatal mothers. Conclusion: Numerous opinions are being expressed about perception regarding family support and utilization of maternal services among antenatal mothers, but mothers are not aware enough about either one. Researcher’s findings call attention to the need for more research.
