摘要
BackgroundSub-Saharan Africa (sSA) continues to rank among the regions in the world with the highest rates of maternal mortality and the lowest rates of utilization of maternal health care. The risk of death for women in sSA is 268 times higher than that of women in high-income nations. Adequate antenatal care (ANC) services utilization is essential to the mother's and the baby's survival and well-being. This study aimed to identify both individual and community-level factors associated with adequate antenatal care services utilization in sSA.MethodWe used data from the most recent Health and Demographic Surveys (DHS), which were carried out between 2012 and 2022 in 33 sSA countries. A total of 240,792 women were included in this study. The two-level mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to identify the individual and community-level factors associated with the use of adequate ANC service.ResultsThe pooled prevalence of adequate ANC service utilization in sSA was 55.48% (95% CI: 55.28-55.68). The study showed that secondary and above-educated women (AOR = 2.13, 95% CI 2.07-2.19, secondary and above-educated husbands (AOR = 1.55, 95% CI 1.51-1.60), rich women AOR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.24-1.29), women 35-49 years of age (AOR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.32-1.41) and distance to a health facility is not a big problem (AOR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.11-1.16) was significantly and positively correlated with the use of adequate ANC services. However, rural women (AOR = 0.80; 95% CI 0.78-0.82), not having mass media access (AOR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.72-0.75), 5 and above birth order (AOR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.68-0.78) were significantly and negatively correlated with the use of adequate ANC services. Additionally, the random effects model showed that variables at the community and individual levels were responsible for approximately 62.60% of the variation in the use of adequate ANC services.ConclusionThe sSA countries had a low prevalence of adequate utilization of ANC with a significant variation among countries. Moreover, public health initiatives should focus on rural women, poor women, and uneducated women to enhance maternal health services utilization. Furthermore, policies and programs that address cluster variations in the utilization of adequate ANC services must be developed, and their implementation must be vigorously pursued.
