Background.
Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) concept is based on the premise that preparing for birth and being ready for complications reduce all three phases of delay to a bad obstetric outcome.
Objectives.
To determine the knowledge of BP/CR with its determinants and BP/CR index among pregnant women in Abakaliki, southeast Nigeria.
Methods.
A cross-sectional survey was done between 1st March 2019 and 31st July 2019 among 450 randomly selected antenatal attendees at Mile Four Hospital, Abakaliki, Nigeria.
The data were obtained using a pretested interviewer-administered structured questionnaire adapted from the maternal and neonatal health program handbook of the Johns Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynaecology and Obstetrics (JHPIEGO).
The data obtained were analyzed using percentages, chi-square, and odds ratios.
The level of significance is at P value < 0.05.
Results.
The birth preparedness and complication readiness index was 41.9%.
Only 44.9% and 36.9% of the study population had adequate knowledge of birth preparedness (BP) and complication readiness (CR), respectively.
Upper social class, lower educational level, urban residence, and less than 30 years of age were associated with increased odds of respondents having adequate knowledge of BP and CR (P>0.05).
However, only booking in the 1st or 2nd trimester was a significant determinant of the respondent’s adequate knowledge of BP (AOR=0.63, 95% CI 0.40-0.98) and CR (AOR=0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.97).
Identification of transport and saving of money was the commonest birth plan while the commonest danger sign known to the participants was bleeding.
Conclusion.
This study revealed that knowledge of BP/CR is suboptimal.
The determinant of this knowledge is antenatal booking.
It is recommended that women should have adequate antenatal care education to improve their knowledge of BP/CR.
This will help to increase the low BP/CR index seen in our study.
