Cross-sectional study assesses male partner involvement in maternal healthcare, highlighting significant factors indicating disparities.
Background: Reproductive, maternal, and child health are essential components of public health, with significant implications for the overall well-being of individuals and communities. The aim of this study was to assess the extent and factors affecting male partner involvement in maternal healthcare in rural Punjab, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 400 male partners in the rural field practice area in Amritsar who were selected by probability proportional to size sampling technique. A predesigned, pretested, structured questionnaire was used to assess the male partner involvement in maternal health. The analysis of data was performed using SPSS version 23. Conclusions: The study underscores the varying levels of male involvement in maternal healthcare, with higher participation during the antenatal period compared to the postnatal period. Significant association (p value = 0.001) was seen between maternal period and level of involvement in maternal care.
