Perceptions of Male Partner Involvement in Antenatal Care among Pregnant Women and Nurses at a Subcounty Referral Hospital in Kenya

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Men are important personalities in the family. They play great roles such as being breadwinners and decision- makers. They influence greatly on women's access to maternal health services. The study sought to gain an understanding of male involvement in that study area through focused group discussions among the pregnant women who attended the antenatal clinic.
