A total of 165 postnatal mothers fulfilling inclusion criteria were selected by simple random sampling, and data were collected by interviewing them using a pre-designed, pre-tested, semi-structured schedule.

Mostly (47.3%) registration was done at the Primary Health Centre (PHC). Physical examination, including weight, blood pressure, pallor, oedema and abdominal examination, was done more than once in 89.7% of study subjects. 95.2% did urine test, 88.5% did haemoglobin estimation more than once, 60% postnatal mothers received at least 100 iron and folic acid tablets during pregnancy and 92.1% received both doses of Td (tetanus and diphtheria) vaccine. Similarly, the majority, 89.2%, received counselling on danger signs, and only 78.2% received counselling on birth preparedness. A significant association was observed among the number of antenatal visits and educational status (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001), residence (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.03), socio-economic status (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.03) and age of marriage (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.02).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although most of the postnatal mothers received ANC services, some aspects of ANC need to be improved, mainly counselling of mothers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_104_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,23]],"date-time":"2025-09-23T15:02:08Z","timestamp":1758639728000},"page":"3401-3405","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Assessment of antenatal care received and its association with different factors among the postnatal mothers: A cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sankar","family":"Nath Jha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Prafulla Chandra Sen Government Medical College and Hospital (PCSGMCH), Arambag, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soumyaneel","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Prafulla Chandra Sen Government Medical College and Hospital (PCSGMCH), Arambag, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anwesha","family":"Dey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Burdwan Medical College and Hospital (BMC and H), Burdwan, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramaprasad","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Principal, Prafulla Chandra Sen Government Medical College and Hospital (PCSGMCH), Arambag, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.1111\/1475-6773.13277","article-title":"Long-term trend in socioeconomic inequalities and geographic variation in the utilization of antenatal care service in India between 1998 and 2015","volume":"55","author":"Lee","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Serv Res"},{"key":"R3-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3152","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16173152","article-title":"Enablers and barriers to the utilization of antenatal care services in India","volume":"16","author":"Ogbo","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"R4-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1775","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)31470-2","article-title":"Global, regional, and national levels of maternal mortality, 1990\u20132015:A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 2015","volume":"388","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R5-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e323","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(14)70227-X","article-title":"Global causes of maternal death:A WHO systematic analysis","volume":"2","author":"Say","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet Glob Health"},{"key":"R6-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1725","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)31575-6","article-title":"Global, regional, national, and selected subnational levels of stillbirths, neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality, 1980\u20132015:A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 2015","volume":"388","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R7-20250924","article-title":"National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), West Bengal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India"},{"key":"R8-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-019-2473-6","article-title":"Utilisation, equity and determinants of full antenatal care in India:Analysis from the National Family Health Survey 4","volume":"19","author":"Kumar","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"key":"R9-20250924","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.4103\/2278-0521.157871","article-title":"Utilization of ante natal care services and it?
