Abstract:

Despite antenatal care presenting opportunities to identify and monitor women at risk, use of recommended antenatal care services remains. Barriers preventing use of antenatal services vary between countries, and limited knowledge exists about the link between geographical settings and antenatal service use. The objective of this cross-sectional quantitative study was to explore geographical variations and investigate how social demographic characteristics affect use of antenatal care for women in Sierra Leone using the Andersen behavioral model. The data used were from the 2016 maternal death

Abstract:

Pregnancy challenges the health care system in a unique way in that it involves at least two individuals – the woman and the fetus. The death rates of both pregnant women (maternal mortality) and newborns (perinatal mortality) are often used to indicate the quality of care the health system is providing. In terms of maternal and perinatal outcomes South Africa scores poorly compared to other upper-middle income countries (Penn-Kekana & Blaauw, 2002:14). The high stillbirth rate compared to the neonatal death rate reflects poor quality of antenatal care. Maternal and perinatal mortality is reco

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION. The perinatal mortality rate is of concern worldwide. In South Africa at the time of the study, 2000, it was estimated to be of the order of 40/1000 live births. However in the setting in which this study took place, namely Tembisa, (Ekhuruleni, Gauteng, South Africa) it was said to be 50/1000 live births. One of the patient- related avoidable factors that has been found to be associated with perinatal and to a lesser extent maternal mortality, is either no, or late initiation of antenatal care. It has been found in an area which, is in many respects similar to Tembisa that 50% o

Abstract:

The general health status of pregnant women depends largely on the quality of the antenatal services available to them. The provision of good antenatal services ensures early detection and prompt management of any complication or disease that may adversely affect pregnancy outcome. In order to ensure high quality care, antenatal services need to be evaluated at regular intervals, both from provider and client perspective, to ensure their effectiveness in improving the health status of pregnant women.

Abstract:

Background Major Depressive Disorder is a leading cause of disease burden for women of childbearing age. The prevalence of perinatal depression is significantly higher in women from low and middle income countries than from high income countries. Antenatal depression is associated with low birth weight and preterm delivery. There is also evidence that depression during pregnancy can alter the development of a woman's fetus and her child, with an increased risk for child emotional and behavioral problems. Detection of perinatal depression in primary health care (PHC) is very low. This research

The measurement of patient satisfaction is especially important after the implementation of a free antenatal care service in the South African health system. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an appropriate scale to measure patient satisfaction. Several methods to measure patient satisfaction are described in the literature. A questionnaire was developed for the Tygerberg Hospital patients.

Abstract:

HIV, syphilis, malaria, and anaemia are major causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite global and national policies advocating for screening of these conditions, only HIV testing has achieved good coverage, precluding early detection and appropriate management in pregnancy. Rapid pointof-care tests (POCTs) provide an opportunity to integrate diagnosis and provide timely treatment of these conditions in rural antenatal care (ANC) settings. After an introductory chapter, a review of the literature on these four conditions in pregnancy is presented with a focus on

Further, national guidelines have not kept apace with the conceptual shift from ‘postnatal depression’ to ‘perinatal anxiety and depression’.
