Background of the Study
Maternal mortality remains a major health challenge in many low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. The provision of antenatal education by healthcare providers, particularly nurses, has been shown to significantly reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates. Antenatal education empowers women with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, identify warning signs of complications, and seek timely medical help.
In Zamfara State, where maternal mortality rates are among the highest in the country, improving the quality and scope of antenatal education is crucial. Nurses, as key healthcare providers during antenatal visits, are uniquely positioned to educate pregnant women about the importance of regular check-ups, proper nutrition, and recognizing danger signs during pregnancy. This study will explore the role of nurses in reducing maternal mortality through effective antenatal education in Zamfara State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to reduce maternal mortality in Nigeria, many women in Zamfara State still lack access to quality antenatal education, which can result in delayed detection of complications and high maternal mortality. This study will assess the impact of nurse-led antenatal education in improving maternal outcomes and reducing maternal mortality in Zamfara State.
