Male partner involvement in postnatal care service utilization and its associated factors in Wolaita Sodo, southern Ethiopia, 2023
In this study, a male partner's involvement in their spouse's PNC service utilization was found to be low. Maternal educational status, good knowledge of PNC services, good knowledge of danger signs and complications, a favorable attitude, distance, and cesarean delivery were associated with male partner's involvement in PNC. Therefore, strengthening awareness about postnatal care services and danger signs through health education and promoting a positive attitude toward postnatal services are essential.
