Abstract

Background: The sustenance of any household is tied to the well-being of the mother's health before, during, and after pregnancy. Maternal health care has continued a downward slope, increasing maternal mortality in rural communities in Nigeria. Presently, few empirical findings connect maternal healthcare facilities' use to mothers' well-being in Nigeria. Using maternal health facilities and the well-being of rural women is crucial in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, and 3 (No poverty, zero hunger, good health, and well-being).

Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the level of maternal healthcare utilization and its effect on mothers' well-being status among mothers in rural Nigeria.

Methods: In this study, secondary data extracted from the Nigeria's 2018 National Demographic Health Survey was used. Data was analyzed with Multiple correspondence analysis, Fuzzy set analysis, and Extended ordered logit model.

Results: Women in rural Nigeria were moderate users of maternal health care services and had moderate well-being indices (0.54 ± 0.2, 0.424 ± 0.2, respectively). Mothers' moderate well-being status was increased by using maternal health care facilities, having a larger household, and having mothers who worked exclusively in agriculture.

Conclusion: We concluded that mothers in rural Nigeria use maternal healthcare facilities moderately, and their well-being level was improved using maternal healthcare facilities. Therefore, Nigeria's Ministry of Health should raise awareness about the vitality of mothers using health care services before, during, and after pregnancy. In order to promote greater female participation in full-scale agricultural production, it is imperative for the Nigerian government to allocate substantial resources in the form of subsidies and incentives. The Nigerian government should source these resources from various channels, including expanded development cooperation. Additionally, policymakers should focus on designing developmental programmes specifically tailored for rural households and the health sector.

产妇保健设施的利用与农村妇女的福祉:努力实现可持续发展目标。
背景:任何家庭的生计都与母亲在怀孕前、怀孕期间和怀孕后的健康息息相关。在尼日利亚的农村社区,孕产妇保健持续走下坡路,孕产妇死亡率不断上升。目前,很少有实证研究结果将尼日利亚孕产妇保健设施的使用与母亲的福祉联系起来。使用孕产妇保健设施和农村妇女的福祉对于实现联合国可持续发展目标 1、2 和 3(无贫困、无饥饿、健康和福祉)至关重要:本研究的目的是调查尼日利亚农村地区母亲的医疗保健利用水平及其对母亲福利状况的影响:本研究使用了从尼日利亚 2018 年全国人口健康调查中提取的二手数据。采用多重对应分析、模糊集分析和扩展有序对数模型对数据进行分析:尼日利亚农村妇女是孕产妇保健服务的中度使用者,幸福指数为中度(分别为 0.54 ± 0.2、0.424 ± 0.2)。使用孕产妇保健设施、家庭人口较多、母亲只务农的母亲的中度幸福感指数较高:我们得出的结论是,尼日利亚农村地区的母亲适度使用孕产妇保健设施,并且使用孕产妇保健设施提高了她们的幸福水平。因此,尼日利亚卫生部应提高人们对母亲在怀孕前、怀孕期间和怀孕后使用医疗保健服务的重要性的认识。为了促进更多女性全面参与农业生产,尼日利亚政府必须以补贴和奖励的形式划拨大量资源。尼日利亚政府应通过各种渠道获得这些资源,包括扩大发展合作。此外,政策制定者应注重制定专门针对农村家庭和卫生部门的发展方案。
