Abstract：
BACKGROUND: One of the most effective ways to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality is to improve mother and newborn health via the provision of appropriate postnatal care services by qualified healthcare providers. However, there is limited information on the use of postnatal care services in Yemen. This study aimed to determine the utilisation of postnatal care services among mothers in Yemen.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Maeen District of Sana\'a City, Yemen from December 2022 to January 2023. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit 321 participants. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied as the study tool in the face-to-face survey.
RESULTS: Less than half (45.2%) of the study participants utilised postnatal care services in this study. The mode of delivery, place of delivery, and receiving information about postnatal care during antenatal visits were significantly associated with postnatal care service utilisation.
CONCLUSIONS: Less than half of the study participants were informed about postnatal care services, contributing to their low utilisation. Thus, it is vital to strengthen the provision of information, education, and communication with regard to postnatal care services among pregnant mothers visiting antenatal clinics.

摘要：
背景：降低孕产妇和新生儿死亡率的最有效方法之一是通过由合格的医疗保健提供者提供适当的产后护理服务来改善母亲和新生儿的健康。然而,也门使用产后护理服务的信息有限。这项研究旨在确定也门母亲对产后护理服务的利用情况。

结果：在这项研究中，不到一半（45.2%）的研究参与者使用了产后护理服务。交货方式，交货地点,在产前检查期间获得有关产后护理的信息与产后护理服务的利用显着相关。
结论：不到一半的研究参与者被告知产后护理服务，导致其利用率低。因此，加强信息提供至关重要，教育,以及在产前诊所就诊的孕妇之间的产后护理服务方面的沟通。
