[Using prenatal care in the Tunisian context: barriers and motivation factors].
Several barriers to and motivators of antenatal care are analysed in the context of a developing country. The authors found that socio-cultural factors are as important as organizational factors in motivating women to seek antenatal care. While social and economic development may improve the quality of life in the long term, it is important to respond now to the needs of pregnant women in order to encourage them to use such services. A comprehensive analysis of certain organizational factors would be useful in achieving this goal.
