Summary

World Health Organization integrated husband involvement into reproductive health programs to carry out safe motherhood successfully and therefore it has been encouraged as a new strategy to improve maternal health since 2000. In Myanmar, maternal health intervention and education programs for safe motherhood are progressing but maternal mortality is still high. Even though sufficient evidences prove that husband can influence maternal health care service utilization during pregnancy and there by positively impact obstetric emergency, few interventions have focused on husband directly to involve and also effectiveness of husband involvement intervention on birth preparedness and complication readiness for safe motherhood are still limited in Myanmar. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the men in maternity health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health care, including its impact on knowledge about maternal health related issues, attitudes towards maternal health care and birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) practices and improving institutional delivery rates for safe motherhood.
