Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to understand the affordability, accessibility, and quality of maternal and child health services for postpartum mothers, and their impact on satisfaction. Methods: The study utilized the Anderson model and revised the Maternal Pregnancy and Perinatal Health Service Questionnaire. A survey was conducted among 289 mothers aged 20–49 in Feicheng City. Results: Regarding accessibility, most respondents (133) reported that travel time to healthcare services exceeded 60 minutes, while 99 respondents indicated a travel time of 16–30 minutes. The issue of affordability was highlighted, with 86.85% of participants perceiving maternal healthcare services as costly, indicating a significant financial burden. More than 50% of respondents were satisfied with two specific dimensions (P < 0.05) regarding the quality of maternal healthcare services. Conclusion: The study found that accessibility, affordability, and quality significantly affect mothers’ satisfaction with maternal health services. Future research should focus on developing more suitable service pathways for rural mothers.
