What is it about?
In Indonesia, involving husbands in maternal health is vital. Our 2012 survey reveals factors influencing their participation: wife's age (21-35), husband's education (junior high or more), employment, fewer children (≤2), and planned pregnancy. These insights can shape policies for better maternal health.

Why is it important?
Our study sheds light on a crucial aspect of maternal health in Indonesia: the active involvement of husbands during pregnancy. This is particularly relevant today as global healthcare priorities shift towards inclusive and family-centered care. Our insights provide a timely understanding of how to improve maternal health outcomes and can guide policy changes in Indonesia and beyond. By involving husbands in the process, we can make a significant difference in ensuring safer pregnancies and childbirth for mothers, which makes our work valuable and impactful for a broad readership interested in maternal healthcare and policy.
