Introduction.
Uptake of antenatal services is low in Nigeria; however, indicators in the Christian-dominated South have been better than in the Muslim-dominated North.
This study evaluated religious influences on utilization of general and HIV-related maternal health services among women in rural and periurban North-Central Nigeria.
Materials and Methods.
Targeted participants were HIV-positive, pregnant, or of reproductive age in the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa.
Themes explored were utilization of facility-based services, provider gender preferences, and Mentor Mother acceptability.
Thematic and content approaches were applied to manual data analysis.
Results.
Sixty-eight (68) women were recruited, 72% Christian and 28% Muslim.
There were no significant religious influences identified among barriers to maternal service uptake.
All participants stated preference for facility-based services.
Uptake limitations were mainly distance from clinic and socioeconomic dependence on male partners rather than religious restrictions.
Neither Muslim nor Christian women had provider gender preferences; competence and positive attitude were more important.
All women found Mentor Mothers highly acceptable.
Conclusion.
Barriers to uptake of maternal health services appear to be minimally influenced by religion.
ANC/PMTCT uptake interventions should target male partner buy-in and support, healthcare provider training to improve attitudes, and Mentor Mother program strengthening and impact assessment.
