The present study aims to highlight and describe the elements of difference and/or similarity between China (Changchun) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa) concerning the behaviour of pregnant women in the use of prenatal care services. A cross-sectional investigation with a self-designed survey was carried out from September 2011 to March 2012 among pregnant women attending antenatal visits in Changchun and Kinshasa. Sixty pregnant women of childbearing age, with an uncomplicated pregnancy, attending prenatal visits in two hospitals and two community care centres were eligible for the study. Data were analysed using SPSS 13.0 software. Kinshasa 86.6% vs. Changchun 26.6% of pregnant women attended prenatal health education. In Changchun none of the responders (0%) have received tetanus vaccine, whereas in Kinshasa 90% were vaccinated against tetanus. Kinshasa 73.3% vs. Changchun 23.3% of pregnant women confirmed that they have performed the HIV test. The elements of difference found in our results were statistically significant P < 0.05. Prenatal health education can help pregnant women to have an appropriate awareness and improve their behaviour in the use of prenatal care services.
本研究旨在突出并描述中国（长春）和刚果民主共和国（金沙萨）在孕妇使用产前保健服务行为方面的差异和/或相似之处。2011年9月至2012年3月期间，采用自行设计的调查问卷，对在长春和金沙萨进行产前检查的孕妇开展了一项横断面调查。在两家医院和两个社区护理中心接受产前检查、怀孕情况正常的60名育龄孕妇符合研究条件。使用SPSS 13.0软件对数据进行分析。金沙萨86.6%的孕妇参加了产前健康教育，而长春这一比例为26.6%。在长春，没有应答者（0%）接种过破伤风疫苗，而在金沙萨，90%的孕妇接种了破伤风疫苗。金沙萨73.3%的孕妇确认进行了艾滋病毒检测，而长春这一比例为23.3%。我们研究结果中发现的差异因素具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。产前健康教育有助于孕妇形成正确认识，并改善她们使用产前保健服务的行为。
