| description | Maternal health can be improved if men give support to their partners.
This study determined the socio-demographic and structural predictors
of male partner involvement in maternal health in Hohoe, Ghana. A
descriptive, cross-sectional design was adopted, collecting data
through self-administered questionnaires from a multistage sample of
193 respondents and analysing using Stata version 14 at the 0.05 level.
Age groups 31-40 years and 41-51 years were 6 times [AOR=6.28, p=0.04]
and 4 times [AOR=4.32 (95%, p=0.08] respectively more likely to get
involved in maternal health issues compared to age group 20-30 years.
Married men were 63% less likely to be involved in maternal issues
compared to single men [AOR=0.37, p=0.08]. Men with tertiary and senior
high school levels of education were 9 times [AOR=9.13, p=0.001] and 5
times [AOR=4.52, p=0.01] respectively more likely to be involved in
maternal health than men with a basic level of education. Men with a
high level of knowledge on maternal health were 4 times more likely to
be involved in maternal health than men with a low level of knowledge
[AOR=4.14, p=0.002]. Strategies to improve male partner involvement in
maternal health should target the younger, the legally married, and
male partners with a low level of education. (Afr J Reprod Health 2019;
23[2]: 56-64).
