Research Results: There is a relationship between the knowledge and beliefs of respondents to non-health workers (P = 0.00) with birth assistance plans. There is a relationship between household facilities and related facilities (P = 0.00), and there is also a relationship between the satisfaction of services by health workers and plans for delivery assistance (P = 0.016).
