Women want male partner engagement in antenatal care services: A qualitative study of pregnant women from rural South Africa.

Evidence strongly shows that a supportive, involved male partner facilitates maternal HIV testing during pregnancy, increases maternal antiretroviral (ART) adherence and increases HIV-free infant survival. Partner engagement in antenatal care (ANC) is influential; however, the most effective strategy to engage male partners is currently unknown. Engaging pregnant women to understand whether male partner involvement is welcome in ANC, what this involvement entails and how best to invite their partner is an important first step in determining how best to engage male partners. We interviewed 36 pregnant women receiving ANC services at a district hospital in rural Mpumalanga, South Africa to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their current relationship, the type of partner support they receive, whether they would like their male partner to be involved in their ANC, and how best to invite their male partner to their appointments. We conducted a thematic analysis of the qualitative interviews using MAXQDA software. Financial, emotional, and physical support were noted as important aspects of support currently provided by male partners, with most pregnant women wanting their partners to engage in ANC services during pregnancy. Preferred engagement strategies included participation in couple-based HIV testing and counseling, regular ANC appointment attendance, and delivery room presence. Women who reported a positive relationship with her partner were more likely to prefer inviting their partner without health facility assistance, while those who reported challenges in their relationship preferred assistance through a letter or community health worker. Pregnant women perceived regular business hours (due to their partner being employed and unable to take off work) and having a partner involved in multiple relationships as barriers in getting their partner to attend ANC services. Rural South African women, even those in unsatisfactory relationships want their male partners to attend their ANC visits and birth. To make this possible, health facilities will have to tailor male partner engagement outreach strategies to the preferences and needs of the pregnant woman.

The disconnection from society resulting from long imprisonment among individuals with a criminal history renders them unable to readapt to society and they encounter various overlapping problems such as housing, economic conditions, and employment issues after their release, hindering their successful reintegration into society. Utilizing various supports and resources after their release is crucial in helping pre-prisoners adjust to society and prevent recidivism. Among these supports, the family is the most effective resource and strongest support system for helping pre-prisoners return to society and form the foundation for their recovery. However, families experience various psychological and practical difficulties due to the crimes of their family members, which can lead to crisis families and family disintegration. Therefore, there is an urgent need for practical support for pre-prisoners and their families. However, there is currently an insufficient level of effectiveness verification research or programs related to this, and practical institutional support is also inadequate. In this regard, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Family Psychological Treatment Support Project, which is part of the 『family psychological treatment support project, such as those subject to probation』 conducted by the Gyeonggi Branch of the Korea Justice Protection Welfare Corporation. The project aims to solve the problems of families who are experiencing a break in family relationships and communication due to crimes or imprisonment of pre-prisoners and to help restore family relationships. In terms of research methodology, items with high predictive power were selected based on the data of the Social Adjustment Predictive Index. The reconstructed Social Adjustment Predictive Index and Life Emotion Scale were then used as research tools. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were conducted when analyzing the data. The research analysis revealed that, firstly, there were statistically significant pre-post changes in investment for the future, family belief, and occupational self-efficacy among individual family counseling participants. Regarding gender characteristics, there were statistically significant changes in male resilience and female vocational self-efficacy, and by family status, there were also statistically significant changes in pre-prisoner resilience and family vocational self-efficacy. Finally, in terms of participation in counseling, the greatest effect of individual family counseling was found to be an increase in family trust. When participants participated in both individual family counseling and family counseling camps, resilience was high at a statistically significant level, suggesting that the family counseling camp's resilience strengthening program was effective. Based on these research results, the problems and supplementary points of the program were discussed in the conclusions and suggestions. Suggestions were made to provide a program that could achieve improved results in the future by adjusting the content of the program.
