  Abstract


Knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) for an antenatal care during pregnancy is a key indicator of a healthcare facility in a community. Antenatal care (ANC) is a useful practice for lowering infant and maternal mortality. Therefore, the present study was planned to estimate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ANC among pregnant women. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 pregnant women through convenience sampling. A semi structured questionnaire included sociodemographic and obstetrical history, and scored questionnaire on KAP was used. The finding of the study revealed that pregnant women had average knowledge (88%), positive attitudes (88%), and good practices & fair practices (58% & 41% respectively) toward ANC. The sociodemographic association showed that age, education, and occupation had a significant association with knowledge and practices about ANC (p< 0.04) Further, exploratory studies are required and need to be planned to provide awareness to improve practices in prenatal care and ultimately improve their health.
