Özet: Pregnant women’s satisfaction is a valid indicator for measurement of antenatal services provided by health institution to the clients who are attending a hospital for their need, which they judge subjectively. We aim to measure pregnant women's satisfaction regarding antenatal care services as it is a valid indicator for measurement of antenatal services provided by health institution to the clients attending a hospital for their need, which they judge subjectively and thus could be recommended if found unsatisfactory. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted to identify the pregnant women’s satisfaction regarding antenatal care services in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital (CMCTH), Chitwan, Nepal among purposively selected 85 pregnant women via face to face interview technique using modified standard tool entitled “Quality of Prenatal Care Questionnaire (QPCQ)” developed by Heaman et al from 20th June to 5th July, 2018. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics like frequency, mean, median, standard deviation and chi square tests. Nearly half of the respondents i.e.; 48.20% had low level of satisfaction and only 24.70% had high level of satisfaction regarding quality of antenatal care. The mean score of support and respect had scored the highest percentage of satisfaction (34.47%) followed by information sharing (25.16), anticipatory guidance (24.69%), sufficient time (18.92%), approachability (15.68%), and availability (14.27%) respectively. There is no any statistical significance found between satisfaction and independents variables. The pregnant women had low level of satisfaction regarding quality of antenatal care; however and satisfaction score was lower in availability in antenatal care services which could be raised by expanding antenatal care services through strengthening the information communication systems of Maternal and Child Health Centers..
