The registered midwives are engaged in continuous health education lessons In antenatal visits,
discouraging antenatal clients from using hannful traditional and cultural practices in an
attempt to preserve pregnancy to tenn. Despite the registered midwives' efforts, the clients
continue to use hannful cultural methods, which are life-threatening to both the mother and
the foetus In utero. The prenatal clients perceive the registered midwives as not being
sensitive to their culture.
The results of this study revealed that health education in antenatal clinics should be
collaborative: that is, the people who have influence over the clients' pregnancy, like me
mother-in-law, the traditional practitioners, cUents and their family members, should be
involved by the midwives during the preparation of pregnancy lessons and health education
lessons on how to preserve pregnancy to term according to· scientifically proven methods. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
