Abstract


ABSTRACT

 

Antenatal care is essential to prevent both maternal and neonatal deaths. Nonetheless, there is a lack of evidence on antenatal care of women whose childbirths were carried out at home with the help of untrained family members. The purpose of this study was to explore antenatal visits of the women who had unassisted home births. This study used a qualitative research design. The study was conducted in Siak, Kampar and Pelalawan regencies of Riau Province, Indonesia. Around 23 respondents were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed manually using thematic analysis. The study findings showed that women who had unassisted home births sought antenatal care from private practice midwives. The women did antenatal visits once merely to obtain information about their birth due dates. This study findings give us an understanding of antenatal care of women with unassisted home births. These findings are essential for making appropriate and relevant health policies to improve antenatal coverage in Riau Province, Indonesia.
