Abstract:

Respectful maternal care (RMC) during childbirth is recognized as a global health priority. The World Health Organization (WHO) has honoured RMC as a global issue and highlighted the need for immediate attention to the provision of RMC as a rudimental right of women. Around the world, several studies have shown that mistreatment is far more common during delivery. Maintaining respect and dignity for pregnant women emotionally and physically is a vital part of their appeal. Despite multiple changes in our health care system in recent decades, there is still major room for a breakthrough in the delivery of quality care. Maternal health care providers (MHCPs) attitude and comportment have a direct impact on patient and client well-being. To ensure quality care, the evidence is strong that midwives must be educated and trained to work as independent workers to provide knowledge competent, different and commiserative information to all. Multiple ways to strengthen the health worker’s performance have been tried in multi-hued ways. Globally there are no studies that share effective interventions to reduce disrespect and abuse in maternal care. It is difficult to achieve sustainable development goals without promoting RMC and very few studies are conducted to evaluate educational interventions in the RMC among nurses in developed or developing countries.

Abstract:

The central aim of this study is to identify and describe the experiences of first time mothers who are underusers of child care clinics. An attempt is made to counterbalance the tendency of researchers in this area to be judgmental of underusers who "neglect" their children, and their own health care needs, -by reporting the mothers' views of the child health services in their own terms. Underusers within a certain Health Authority area were identified using a purposely developed Index of Uptake. The achieved sample of predominantly working class mothers constituted a group of people who are particularly difficult to research. It is believed that success in locating and eliciting evidence from this group was in itself an important contribution to the research literature. In depth interviews were undertaken, and the data analysed in two ways; (1) A Subsample, made up of those having made least use of the services available to them, was analysed interpretively to provide detailed material of an idiographic kind on the lifeworld of the person and the place of medical care within it; (2) All interviews were subjected to content analysis to provide a more general picture of mothers' experiences of health care provision. The main findings include the following; (1) The particular population studied had a generally low level of visage as assessed by the index, but use of specifically medical provision was greater. A process of rational decision making is implicated. (2) Accounts of underusers' experiences highlight as a central theme the mothers' vulnerability to personal undermining by many aspects of health care provision. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the approach which health care providers adopt towards'underusers, and argues that there must be an explicit recognition of the point of view of the clients if the services are to reach this deprived segment of the community. Such recognition is rarely found in research or comment on the problem of underusage. In fact apparently irrational and blameworthy behaviour by underusers can be. rendered explicable when considered in the light of the individuals' perceptions and experiences, and this leads to a serious questioning of the utility and appropriateness of the negative judgements made of them.

Abstract:

The Government of Malawi has entered into agreements with Christian health association of Malawi (CHAM) health care facilities in order to exempt their catchment populations from paying user fees. These agreements are called service level agreements (SLAs). Government in turn reimburses the CHAM health care facilities for the health services that they provide. The agreements started in 2006 with 28 out of 166 CHAM health care facilities and increased to 68 in 2010. The aim of the exemption policy is to guarantee universal access to a basic package of health care services. Although the agreements were designed to cover every health service in the basic health care package, only maternal and neonatal health services are included due to limited resources. The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of the health care financing change on health care utilisation and health. The specific objectives were as follows: first, to examine whether health care facility visits for maternal health care changed due to user fee exemption; second, to evaluate whether user fee exemption affected the choice of the health care provider where women living in the catchment areas of CHAM health care facilities with user fee exemption sought maternal health care; third, to analyse the effect of user fee exemption on birth weight and; fourth, to explore and apply novel methods in the evaluation of user fee exemption. The gradual uptake of service level agreements by CHAM health care facilities provided a natural experiment with treated and control health care facilities. An additional control group comprised of other demographic groups apart from pregnant women and neonates at CHAM health care facilities with service level agreements. In household survey data, individuals were assigned to treatment and control groups based on their proximity to either a CHAM health care facility with SLA or a CHAM health care facility without SLA. This proffered the unique opportunity to estimate the effect of a single treatment on multiple outcomes. The difference-in-differences (DiD) approach was used to obtain causal effects of user fee exemption. It was implemented in the context of fixed effects, switching regression and multinomial logit models across different chapters. Health care facility level panel data for utmost 146 health care facilities for a maximum of 8 years, 2003-2010, were used. The data were obtained from the Malawi health management xiii information system (HMIS). Linked survey data were also used. Malawi demographic and survey data for 2004 and 2010 were linked to health care facility data and then merged. Analyses that utilised health care facility data showed that user fee exemption had led to increases in first antenatal care visits in the first trimester, first antenatal care visits in any trimester, average antenatal care visits and deliveries at CHAM health care facilities with SLAs. Results from survey data showed that the probability of using a CHAM health care facility with user fee exemption for antenatal care increased, the probability of using home antenatal care declined and the probability of not using antenatal care also declined due to user fee exemption. The probability of delivering at a CHAM health care facility with SLA also increased while the probability of delivering at home declined. User fee exemption did not affect the choice of where to go for postpartum care. Results of the effect of user fee exemption on birth weight were not reported because of potential endogeneity bias arising from lack of instrumental variables for antenatal care. The key policy messages from this thesis are that the user fee exemption policy is an important intervention for increasing the utilisation of maternal health care and needs to be extended to as many CHAM health care facilities as necessary. User fee exemption is not enough, however. Other factors such as education of the woman and her husband/partner, wealth status and cultural factors are also important. This thesis has contributed to the body of knowledge in the following ways. First, it has generated evidence on the impact of user fee exemption on maternal health care utilisation and birth weight in Malawi. Second, with respect to maternal health care utilisation, the thesis has looked at variables that capture the whole maternal health care process from early pregnancy to postpartum care and in a policy relevant way. Third, the thesis has evaluated the effect of user fee exemption on a variable that have not been looked at before, first antenatal care visits in the first trimester. Fourth, the thesis has examined the effect of a single treatment on multiple outcomes in a methodologically unique way. Treatment effects, which were the changes in the probabilities of using different alternatives summed up to zero, thus showing where any increase in the probability of using the outcome of interest came from. Fifth, this thesis is first to use disequilibrium theory of demand and supply in health economics. Application of this theory entailed using switching regression models with unknown sample separation, a seldom used estimation method in health economics. This was an important contribution to the methods xiv of analysing aggregate health care utilisation. Sixth, the STATA program that was written for the estimation of the disequilibrium models was itself a very important contribution to the methods for estimating aggregate supply and demand.

Abstract:

Background: Half a million women died during pregnancy or childbirth in 2005. Bleeding, infections, high blood pressure, obstructed labor, unsafe abortions, malaria and HIV/Aids were the main causes. Tanzania is a highly affected country with 460 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births. Nurses and midwives play an important role in preventing maternal mortality. Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore and analyze nurses’ and midwives’ experiences of maternal mortality prevention on the Tanzanian island of Unguja. Method: Interviews with nine nurses and midwifes from four different hospitals and health care facilities were conducted with the assistance of an interpreter. A structural analysis designed by Ricoeur was undertaken. Results: The findings suggest that family planning, a more accessible health care, referral of severe cases, medical interventions, health education, community resource persons and involving fathers in maternal health care are preventive strategies that can reduce maternal mortality. Conclusion: To further improve the quality of maternal mortality prevention further knowledge aboutindividual differences in learning from health education is needed. Involvement of all fathers in maternal health care should also be considered. Training of unskilled personnel is believed to improve early identification of life-threatening complications and thereby reduce maternal mortality.
Bakgrund: En halv miljon kvinnor i världen dog under graviditet eller förlossning under 2005. Huvudorsaker var blödningar, infektioner, högt blodtryck, långdragna förlossningar, osäkra aborter, malaria samt HIV/Aids. Tanzania är ett drabbat land med 460 fall av mödradödlighet per 100 000 levande födda barn. Sjuksköterskor och barnmorskor spelar en viktig roll i det preventiva arbetet mot mödradödlighet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utforska och analysera sjuksköterskors och barnmorskors upplevelser och erfarenhet av arbetet mot mödradödlighet på ön Unguja, Tanzania. Metod: Intervjuer med nio sjuksköterskor och barnmorskor från fyra olika sjukhus/hälsocentraler genomfördes med hjälp av en tolk. En strukturanalys utformad av Ricoeur genomfördes. Resultat: Resultatet visar att familjeplanering, en mer tillgänglig hälso- och sjukvård, remitterande av patienter med allvarliga komplikationer, medicinska interventioner, hälsoutbildning, resurspersoner i samhället och att involvera pappor i mödrahälsovården var preventiva strategier som kan minska mödradödlighet. Slutsats: För att ytterligare förbättra arbetet mot mödradödlighet tycks mer kunskap om individers förmåga att ta till sig hälsoutbildning behövas. Att i ännu större utsträckning även välkomna alla blivande pappor till mödrahälsovården föreslås också kunna fungera preventivt. Utbildning för outbildade kvinnor som hjälper till vid förlossningar (Traditional Birth Attendants) tros kunna förbättra tidig identifikation av livshotande komplikationer och därmed kunna minska mödradödligheten.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the utilisation of maternal health care in Zambia, where despite being a signatory to the Safe Motherhood Initiative and Millennium Development Goals, which are aimed at improving maternal health, indicators of maternal health continue to perform poorly. The need to understand crucial factors in improving maternal health motivated the current research, especially since there is a dearth of literature in this area in Zambia. The thesis focuses on two aspects of maternal health care: antenatal care (ANC) and facility-based deliveries, to answer two broad questions. Firstly, what factors determine the use of ANC in Zambia? Secondly, to what extent has the abolition of user fees affected facility-based deliveries? An assessment of the factors, which explain the utilisation of ANC in Zambia, using three sets of comparable datasets reveals that, while there are differences in the factors explaining the decision to use ANC and the frequency of visits over time, the decision to seek ANC and the frequency of use is low among the poor and less educated, and there are marked regional differences in utilisation. The most appropriate econometric specification for antenatal visits, according to different performance indicators, was the two-part model, which differs from recent research favouring more complex methodologies. The analysis is further extended through the inclusion of supply-side factors and the examination of individual and community level factors associated with inadequate and non-use of ANC, following the adoption of the focused ANC approach in Zambia. To incorporate the supply side factors, the 2007 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey was linked to administrative and health facility census data using geo-referenced data. To assess the factors associated with (1) the inadequate use of ANC (defined as three or less visits), and (2) the non-use of ANC in the first trimester of pregnancy, we specify two multilevel logistic models. At the individual level, the woman’s employment status, quality of ANC received and the husband’s educational attainment are negatively associated, while parity, the household childcare burden and wealth are positively associated with inadequate utilisation of ANC. Both individual and community level characteristics influence inadequate use and non-use of ANC in the first trimester; however, community level factors are relatively stronger in rural areas. Although ANC is an important facet of maternal care, it occurs before delivery, but does not necessarily provide much information with respect to delivery decisions. Therefore, the thesis investigates delivery decisions, as well, in particular, the effect of user fee removal in rural areas of Zambia on facility-based deliveries. To account for regional differences, we employ a Seemingly Unrelated Regression model incorporating an Interrupted Time Series design. The analysis uses quarterly longitudinal data covering 2003q1-2008q4. When unobserved heterogeneity, spatial dependence and quantitative supply-side factors are controlled for, user fee removal is found to immediately increase aggregate facility-based deliveries, although the national trend was unaffected. Drug availability and the presence of traditional birth attendants also influence facility-based deliveries at the national level, such that, in the short-term, strengthening and improving community-based interventions could increase facility-based deliveries. However, there is significant variation and spatial dependence masked in the aggregate analysis. The results highlight the importance of service quality in promoting facility-based deliveries, and also suggest that social and cultural factors, especially in rural areas, influence the use of health facilities for delivery. These factors are not easily addressed, through an adjustment to the cost of delivery in health facilities. Additionally, we analyse the effect of user fee abolition on the location of childbirth, focussing on deliveries that occur in public health facilities using household survey data. To elicit the causal relationship, we exploit the relative change in fees across health districts within a difference-in-differences framework. Surprisingly, although reductions in home deliveries were observed, as expected, reductions in public health facility-based deliveries were also uncovered, along with increases in deliveries at private health facilities. However, these findings were statistically insignificant; suggesting that the abolition of user fees had little, if any, impact on the choice of location for childbirth. The statistically insignificant, but unexpected, causal effects further suggest that the removal of user fees have unintended consequences, possibly the transference of facility costs to the client, which would deter the utilisation of delivery services. Therefore, abolishing user fees, alone, may not be sufficient to affect changes in outcomes; instead, other efforts, such as improving service quality, could have a greater impact.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to describe how the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) tends to maternal health care in floodings and whether it should be deemed sufficient. Floodings in Pakistan (2010), Bangladesh (2017) and Sudan (2013) are used as units of analysis when conducting a content analysis. The theoretical framework consists of critical success factors for disaster response based in the emergency management literature. A big part of the theoretical framework revolves around the importance of expertise and rationality in disaster response planning and implementation. The three floodings received relief efforts from IFRC which are presented in emergency appeal reports. Lists on essential maternal health care interventions in combination with the theoretical framework create analysis questions that are posed to the appeals. Results are presented in a table naming the prevalence of each intervention in each report. The findings show that maternal health care was seen to and deemed sufficient in only one of the three cases: Pakistan. The conclusion is that the discourse on maternal health care in natural disasters should be developed and that further research on the subject needs to be conducted.

Abstract:

Background: Direct estimations of maternal mortality were carried out in Pakistan for the first time. Maternal health and health issues, maternal mortality and the specific causes of death among women must be studied to improve the health care of women and better utilization of maternal health services for better public health. Objective: The main objectives of this study are to analyze maternal health, morbidity and mortality indicators. The causes of death and health care utilization will be highlighted, hence, useful recommendations can be made to reduce maternal deaths and to attain the Sustainable Development Goal 3.1. Method: Utilizing the data of Pakistan Maternal Mortality Survey 2019, crosstabs and frequency tables are constructed and multivariant analysis was conducted to find out the most effective factors contributing to the deaths. IBM SPSS and STATA were used for the analysis. Results and Conclusion: 40% population surveyed was under 15, age 65 or above. Average household members were 6-7. Drinking water facility was majorly improved in both urban and rural areas. Hospital services in rural areas were mostly (54%) in the parameter of 10+ kms and Basic Health Units were mainly found inside the community. Very few urban households were in the poorest quantile while very few rural households were in the wealthiest quantile. Women education distribution showed that a high percentage of women (52%) were uneducated and only a 12% had received higher education. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) for the 3-year period before the survey was 186 deaths per 100,000 live births while pregnancy related mortality rate was 251 deaths per 100,000 live births, which was higher compared to the MMR. Maternal death causes were divided into direct and indirect causes, where major causes were reported to be obstetric Hemorrhage (41%), Hypertensive disorders (29%), Pregnancy with abortive outcome (10%), other obstetric pregnancy related infection (6%) and non-obstetric (4%). 37% women who died in the three years before the survey sought medical care at a public sector health facility while 26% at private sector and 5% at home. A majority (90%) of women who had pregnancy complications in the 3 years before the survey received ANC from a skilled provider. Keywords: Maternal health, antenatal care, maternal mortality rates, pregnancy related diseases
