Men’s perception of barriers to women’s use and access of skilled pregnancy care in rural Nigeria: a qualitative study
2019
Background
Greater paternal engagement is positively associated with improved access to and utilization of maternal services. Despite evidence that male involvement increased uptake of maternal and child services, studies show that few men are participating in MNCH programs. Community leaders have long been engaged in public health promotion in rural settings and have been shown to mobilize communities to enhance changes in cultural practices related to public health. With the ultimate goal of increasing men’s involvement in maternal health, this study seeks to understand men’s perceptions of community and health systems barriers to maternal access and usage of skilled care in rural Edo, Nigeria.
