The impact of training traditional birth attendants (TBAs) on the utilisation of maternal health services at a rural health training centre in India has been studied. Records of the utilisation of the services for two periods of six months each (one before training and one after) have been analysed. A marked improvement in the registration of antenatal cases at an earlier date in pregnancy has been observed. The average number of visits to antenatal clinics, the immunisation against tetanus, and the presence of trained personnel at the time of delivery all showed considerable improvement after the local TBAs had been trained and motivated. The differences observed in the two series were statistically significant.
印度一家农村健康培训中心开展了关于培训传统助产士（TBAs）对孕产妇保健服务利用情况影响的研究。分析了两个为期六个月时间段（培训前一个时间段和培训后一个时间段）的服务利用记录。观察到在怀孕早期进行产前病例登记方面有显著改善。在当地传统助产士接受培训并受到激励后，产前诊所的平均就诊次数、破伤风免疫接种情况以及分娩时受过培训人员的在场情况均显示出相当大的改善。两个系列中观察到的差异具有统计学意义。
