المستخلص

Postnatal care is care provided to women and their babies within 42 days after delivery. A large proportion of maternal and neonatal deaths occur during the first 48 hours after delivery, and these first two days following delivery are critical for monitoring complications arising from the delivery. This study aimed to determine women’s experience (K, A, and P) with post-natal care services in the family health units of the city and some rural areas in El Baliana district, Sohag governorate. A cross-sectional study was carried out among the targeted population. Total coverage of women in lactating period attending F.H.U in Elbaliana city, Elhegz, BanyHemeel, Abosteet, and Al Eslah villages of El baliana district in the period starting 1st of April till the end of September 2018. The results illustrated that the mean percentage level of knowledge of postnatal mothers on selected aspects of postnatal care was 59.9% and the mean level was 11.98 with a standard deviation of 4.38. about 57.7% of the studied women had good knowledge regarding postnatal services and 42.3% had poor knowledge. In the final regression model, it is found that women younger than 20 years are nearly five times more liable to have poor knowledge regarding postnatal care than those older than 35 years.
