Intention to use eight antenatal care model and associated factors among pregnant women who come for antenatal care in Amhara Region Referral Hospitals, Ethiopia
More than four-fifths of the pregnant women had intention to use ANC8+. Increase in age, being the government employee, having good attitude, positive subjective norm and perceived behavioral control were positively, while being a farmer negatively associated to intention to use ANC8+ contact. Therefore, empowering women, developing socio cultural integrity with the health system through health education and trainings to local health cadres and community leaders would possibly increase the intention of using ANC8+.
