Abstract
<jats:p>Considering the importance of the completeness of filling out the maternal and child health record for quality and systematic prenatal care, this study aimed to evaluate the completeness of the pregnant woman's record in prenatal care at primary health care units in the province of Bengo, in the third trimester of 2025. To this end, a descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative). A simple random probabilistic sample was used to select the units, using a lottery method, and a non-probabilistic burst sampling method was used to observe the record of each pregnant woman, totaling 59 pregnant women. The following results were obtained: Regarding the start of prenatal consultations, 39% of pregnant women started consultations in the second trimester; Regarding gestational age, 57.6% were in the second trimester; Regarding the number of consultations, 47.4% had only one consultation. Regarding gestational age versus number of consultations, of the 32 who were in the 2nd trimester, 43.8% had only 1 consultation and of the 3 who were in the 3rd trimester, two (2) had only 1 consultation performed; Regarding the completion of the booklet, 54.2% were completed incorrectly; in the assessment of completeness, the indicator most frequently completed in the “more than adequate” category was obstetric history with 69.4%. The indicator most frequently completed inadequately was malaria prevention, with 74.5%. Training of technicians on the correct and complete completion of the Maternal and Child Health Booklet is considered important.</jats:p>
