I am going to do a research on ANC service utilization in urban slum of Kathmandu Valley. My research objective is to identify the barriers to utilization of Focused ANC. How can i identify that woman have or have not completed Focused ANC. Are there any tools??
Pramila, I am assuming you are talking about 'Antenatal Care" as opposed to Absolute Neutrophil Count or Advisory Neighborhood Commissions? I would think, unless a clinic has records you could use, that doing a survey of several poor slum areas would be the way to find out about this. Asking all women with young children about their use of ANC - why or why not - would give you your answers. Mothers of school children, visiting pediatricians, etc. would be another source to interview.
Thank you Sir,
How do I know they have completed focused Antenatal Care as per WHO protocol, if they dont have ANC card ?? I would like to review standard questionaire if there are any??
I only know know of the WHO guidelines that stipulates at least four visits with targted care per visist
There are some ANC index. May be they could be useful for you.
Dear Pramila Poudel
Tools for measure ANC in Urban slums are history of ANC 4 times along period of pregnancy and full fill history of pregnancy in health center or hospital
