Représentation Sociale De La Grossesse, Rapport À La Grossesse Et Consultations Prénatales Dans La Sous-Préfecture De Kokomian

Abstract

Health is a fundamental human right. It is enshrined as such in the preamble of the WHO Constitution. Unfortunately, in southern countries in general, and particularly in Côte d'Ivoire, the effectiveness of this fundamental right leaves much to be desired. The factors generally highlighted to account for this state are the material and infrastructural aspects. Few works deal with psychosocial and anthropological factors. In reproductive health, for example, the existence in certain rural localities of health centers, provided with drugs, materials and personnel, and the free provision of certain reproductive care, are not enough to decide pregnant women to undergo antenatal consultations. . Through this research, we therefore wish to question the role of the aforementioned factors in the decision of pregnant women in rural areas to undergo prenatal consultations. This qualitative research was carried out in the department of Kokomiani in April 2021.
