| Attitude towards maternal health care | Trained TBA | Untrained TBA | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pretest (n = 20) (%) | Post-test | Pretest (n = 30) (%) | Post-test | |||
| Early (n = 17) (%) | Late (n = 15) (%) | Early (n = 28) (%) | Late (n = 25) (%) | |||
| Regular antenatal care needed | 40 | 70.5* | 100** | 0 | 39.3* | 64** |
| Safe delivery practices reduce maternal and newborn deaths | 35 | 70.5* | 80** | 10 | 42.8* | 60** |
| Regular postnatal care needed | 55 | 76.5* | 100** | 6.6 | 25* | 60** |
* Indicates the statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the percentage of TBAs at early post-test evaluation compared to pretest
** Indicates the statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the percentage of TBAs at late post-test evaluation compared to pretest
