Husband’s role in wife’s pregnancy: A study based on the Thadou tribes of Manipur
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Husband’s behavior and involvement in the maternity care of their pregnant partners can significantly affect the health of the women and their babies. This study aims to understand the perception, attitude and behavior of husband regarding their role and involvement during antenatal and delivery care among the Thadou tribes of Manipur. Overall men were positive in their views of antenatal and delivery care and maximum numbers of men “advice” their wives to attend for antenatal and delivery care. However, majority of the husbands were not involved “directly” during maternity check-up. Increasing community awareness and knowledge about the importance of male involvement and increasing accessibility antenatal clinic can reduces some of the barriers.
