A narrative review on the effectiveness of interventions promoting antenatal care proficiency in terms of knowledge, attitude, and practice maternal wellness made better

Neha Ali, Sheeba Philip, Raj Vishnoi and Deepika

Background: Every year, 1/3 million women globally, with 20% in India, die from pregnancy-related issues. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) surrounding ANC are key indicators of public healthcare. Antenatal care education is vital, empowering mothers, fostering informed decisions, and promoting proactive healthcare, ultimately lowering maternal mortality rates.
Aim: This literature review seeks to assess the effectiveness of diverse antenatal care interventions in elevating knowledge, fostering positive mindsets, and promoting improved practices related to ANC.
Methods: This narrative review thoroughly explored and examined peer-reviewed literature. Journal articles were sourced from three databases—PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate—utilizing search terms such as knowledge, attitude, practice, antenatal mothers, antenatal care, antenatal care interventions, and education.
Results: The investigation uncovered multiple Indian studies on promoting antenatal health through educational interventions, affirming the crucial role of antenatal education. This education empowers mothers, encourages informed decision-making, and advocates proactive healthcare, ultimately contributing to the reduction of maternal mortality rates.
Conclusion: Limited interventional studies on ANC promotion exist amid numerous descriptive studies. Antenatal education is vital for empowering mothers. The conclusion emphasizes regular training sessions to provide updated knowledge and skills, advocating for periodic reinforcements for sustained retention by antenatal mothers.
