The study employed a community-based cross-sectional analytical design, gathering data from 385 male partners attending Chepterwai and Kabiyet Sub-County hospitals. Through descriptive and inferential statistics, including correlation and regression analyses, key insights emerged. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between male partners' level of awareness and perception regarding childbirth preparedness, and their subsequent level of participation. Regression analysis further substantiated this, indicating that male partners' awareness and perception significantly predict their involvement, accounting for 42% of the observed variability. This highlights that while male partners do engage in childbirth preparedness, the extent of their involvement is notably influenced by their understanding and attitudes. The implications underscore the critical need for targeted interventions by health ministries and partners to enhance male partners' awareness through health education, shift cultural perceptions, and foster more consistent and active participation in maternal and child health services.
