Keywords:
PMSMA, Ante-Natal Care, High risk pregnancy, Pregnant Woman, SatisfactionAbstract
Background: In India, many pregnant women don’t give importance
to early antenatal care leading to undetected High-Risk Pregnancies
(HRP). All pregnant women need to access quality antenatal care
services to detect and prevent life-threatening complications during
childbirth. The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA)
was launched by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of
India on 9th June 2016.
Objective: To determine the level of satisfaction among beneficiaries
under PMSMA scheme.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among 400 pregnant
women who were delivered within 1 year from the date of the study
and who had registered & availed the Ante-Natal Care (ANC) services
under Government health facilities in district Etawah, Uttar Pradesh.
The data thus collected were entered into Microsoft-Excel spreadsheet
and was analyzed using IBM SPSS software Version 24.0
Results: Out of 400 beneficiaries, 195(48.75%) were satisfied with
the cleanliness of wards & toilets followed by 234(58.50%) with
drinking water quality, 374(93.50%) with basic laboratory investigation,
341(85.25%) with transport facilities during discharge. The majority of
study participants were in the age group of 20-30 years i.e. 375 (93.75%)
and most of them got married between 15-20 years of age i.e. 285 (71.25%)
Conclusions: If every pregnant woman in India is examined by a Medical
Officer/Specialist and Investigated appropriately at least once during
the PMSMA, the Abhiyan can play a crucial role in reducing the number
of maternal deaths & High-Risk Pregnancy (HRP) in our country.
