Mothers’ Level of Schooling, Monitoring of Their Pregnancy and Perinatal Prognosis at the Reference Health Centre of Commune V of the District of Bamako
Introduction:The level of schooling of mothers is a determining factor in the
follow-up of pregnancy and consequently the prognosis of childbirth and the
quality of the newborn. Objective:The aim was to assess the
impact of the level of education on the follow-up of their pregnancy and perinatal
prognosis at the Reference Health Centre of Commune V of the District of
Bamako. Materials and Methods:This was a prospective,
cross-sectional and analytical study aimed descriptive from August 15 to
December 15, 2021. We included in this study all pregnant women who had a
gestational age of at least 22 weeks of amenorrhea and who gave birth or were
received in the immediate postpartum period at the maternity ward of the
Reference Health Center of Commune V. Results: Out-of-school parturients accounted
for 60% of cases. Among the parturients in school, 18% had a higher level. In
our study, 14.3% of women in labour knew the date of the last menstrual period.
In our series, 100% of mothers in higher and secondary school had completed an
antenatal consultation (CPN) compared to 90.7% in the out-of-school mothers. CPN1
was performed in the first trimester of pregnancy in 21.1% among out-of-school parturients compared to 83.5% among higher-level
parturients. The number of NPCs was greater than or equal to 4 in 47.9% of
parturients. Conclusion: Women’s schooling has an impact on their socio-economic conditions on
the one hand and on the monitoring and prognosis of pregnancies on the other.
