Correlates of preferences for home or hospital confinement in Pakistan: evidence from a national survey

Abstract: BackgroundDespite the pregnancy complications related to home births, homes remain yet major place of delivery in Pakistan and 65 percent of totals births take place at home. This work analyses the determinants of place of delivery in Pakistan.MethodsMultivariate Logistic regression is used for analysis. Data are extracted from Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (2006–07). Based on information on last birth preceding 5 years of survey, we construct dichotomous dependent variable i.e. whether women deliver … Show more

“…Factors like cultural and religious beliefs might have been stronger in rural areas among marginalised groups. This finding is consistent with other studies [31,33].…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Husband’s education was also an influence on woman’s utilization of institutional delivery. The findings from this study are consistent with other studies [ 37 , 43 ]. One study in Myanmar found that a woman whose husband is better educated had more maternal healthcare knowledge, and the more-educated husbands tended to take more care of their spouse during pregnancy and the time before and after delivery [ 54 ].…”

“…Educated women were more likely to give childbirth at a healthcare facility. This finding is consistent with several previous studies because education may enhance a woman’s ability to make independent decisions [ 19 , 32 , 34 , 37 , 42 , 43 , 50 ]. In Myanmar, 7.3% of people over age 25 years had attained at least a university education.…”

“…Pregnant women who had at least four ANC visits had significantly higher odds of utilizing institutional delivery. Similar results have been found in previous studies [ 19 , 35 , 37 , 42 , 43 , 49 ]. During the ANC visit, high-risk women are referred to a larger healthcare facility to receive more sophisticated care to reduce the risk of complications of childbirth.…”

“…Place of women’s residence, the rural residency was significantly associated with home childbirth. This finding is consistent with a study in Nigeria [ 101 ], Guinea-Bissau [ 102 ], Pakistan [ 103 ], and Bhutan [ 104 ]. The possible explanations might be rural residents, namely, less proportion of educated mothers, poor knowledge of institutional delivery services, less antenatal care follow-up service, less availability of health care services nearby, and poor access to information than urban mothers.…”
