Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the utilization of Pre-pregnancy care services and their associated factors among women with High-risk pregnancy in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study commenced in 2017 among women diagnosed as High-risk pregnancy in governmental health clinics in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Stratified random sampling was applied and interviewer-guided questionnaires were administered in this regard. A proforma and the validated Pre-pregnancy Care Knowledge and Practice Questionnaire were used, consisting 21 items on Knowledge and 16 items on Practice. The utilization of Pre-pregnancy care services was defined if someone had attended the service at least once prior to the current pregnancy. Finally, logistic regression analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Results: Of 490 women with high-risk pregnancies, 23. 9% (n=117) utilized Pre-pregnancy care services. Only one-third of them were aware of the offered services (33. 1%), received advice to seek these services (30. 4%), and were referred to the services (27. 3%). There were four significant associated factors for the utilization of Pre-pregnancy care services, including maternal age (P = 0. 016), planned pregnancy (P < 0. 001), family planning Practice (P < 0. 001), and Pre-pregnancy care Knowledge (P = 0. 030). Conclusions: The utilization of Pre-pregnancy care services among women with High-risk pregnancy in this study was low. An increase in maternal age, a planned pregnancy, history of practicing family planning, and women with good Pre-pregnancy care Knowledge were more likely to utilize Pre-pregnancy care services.
