Abstract:
Abstract: Background: ASHA is a local woman selected by the community, trained, deployed, and supported to function in her own village to improve the health status of the people through securing their access to health care services under NRHM. In Janani SurakshaYojana (JSY) program, their role is very crucial in providing maternal and child health care. However, they face challenges like compensation, altruism, social recognition, knowledge gain, and career development and not gaining a salary. Objective: To determine the challenges faced by ASHA workers in effective implementation of JSY program. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 ASHA workers in three PHCs under Belagavi district. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire from all the ASHA workers. The questioner included ANC registration, providing maternal and child health care and incentives. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: 78 ASHA workers had done more than 90% ANC registration within 12 weeks. 68 ASHAs were very satisfied in providing maternal and child health care services to the community. 98 ASHAs were escorted pregnant women for institutional delivery. None of the ASHAs were given any incentives under JSY.
