简要总结
World Health Organization integrated husband involvement into reproductive health programs to carry out safe motherhood successfully and therefore it has been encouraged as a new strategy to improve maternal health since 2000. In Myanmar, maternal health intervention and education programs for safe motherhood are progressing but maternal mortality is still high. Even though sufficient evidences prove that husband can influence maternal health care service utilization during pregnancy and there by positively impact obstetric emergency, few interventions have focused on husband directly to involve and also effectiveness of husband involvement intervention on birth preparedness and complication readiness for safe motherhood are still limited in Myanmar. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the men in maternity health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health care, including its impact on knowledge about maternal health related issues, attitudes towards maternal health care and birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) practices and improving institutional delivery rates for safe motherhood.

主要结局
Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness (BPCR) Practices
时间窗: 2 months pre-intervention and 2 months post-intervention
The impact of the Men in Maternity Health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) practices was assessed through pre- and post-intervention surveys. BPCR practices include five key components: planning the health facility for birth, ensuring the presence of skilled birth attendants, arranging transportation for delivery or emergencies, identifying potential blood donors and saving money for delivery expenses. BPCR practices were measured with a composite score derived from responses to five components, each corresponding to one of the essential BPCR practices. Responses were scored '1' for 'Yes' and '0' for 'No'. The total BPCR score ranged from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating better birth preparedness and complication readiness.
Maternal Health Knowledge
时间窗: 2 months pre-intervention and 2 months post-intervention
To assess the effectiveness of the Men in Maternity Health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health, specifically regarding changes in maternal health knowledge, including knowledge of maternal health care, danger signs during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. Measurement: Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed knowledge with 12 questions, each containing multiple sub-questions. Scoring was '1' for each correct answer, with a total score range from 0 to 36.
Attitudes Towards Maternal Health
时间窗: 2 months pre-intervention and 2 months post-intervention
To assess the effectiveness of the Men in Maternity Health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health, specifically regarding changes in attitudes towards maternal health. Measurement: Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed attitudes with 12 questions. For positive statements, scores ranged from 4 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree), and for negative statements, scores ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), with a total score range of 12 to 48.
Acceptability and Feasibility of Men in Maternity Health (MiM) Intervention
时间窗: Up to 2 months post-intervention
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the MiM program, the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention were assessed through qualitative methods. This included semi-structured interviews with maternal health stakeholders engaged in the MiM program and focus group discussions with male participants who involved in the MiM program and their partners. Key areas explored included assessing the program's effectiveness in preventing maternal emergencies, promoting institutional deliveries and gathering participant satisfaction and feedback, and identifying the barriers and facilitators specific to the program's implementation. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify themes and patterns related to the intervention's acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, highlighting common experiences, challenges and facilitators reported by participants and healthcare stakeholders, as well as identifying perceived benefits of the intervention.
