Abstract:

Preferences of women living in remote areas regarding delivery place and attendant were surveyed, opinions of primary health care [PHC] doctors about traditional birth attendants’ [TBA] maternal care were assessed and training needs for TBAs were identified using questionnaires and a focus group discussion. Home deliveries and TBAs were preferred by approximately 24% and 38% of the women respectively. The fact that they were women and psychological comfort were the main reasons for preferring TBAs. TBAs disclosed many harmful practices. No PHC centre help was sought by 75% of TBAs. Lack of coo

Abstract:

A survey of 40 trained and 40 untrained traditional birth attendants (TBAs) was done over a 3-week period in two counties in Uganda to evaluate the impact of training and supervision on TBAs. Forty womens' groups and 20 mothers were also interviewed. The result showed that the most utilized birth attendants were mothers-in-law, trained and untrained TBAs, and the pregnant woman herself. Childbirth was regarded as a normal, private event and the birth attendants were normally called when labour was well advanced or in case of complications. Trained TBAs were attending three times the number of

Abstract:

Adverse maternal health outcomes and high rates of maternal mortality continue to disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). With limited access to health facility care, many women in LMICs rely on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) to meet their maternal health needs. While some studies consider the use of TBAs to be problematic, others suggest the integration of TBAs into maternal healthcare to improve health outcomes.

Abstract:

A traditional birth attendant (TBA) is a person who assists the mother during childbirth and who initially acquired her skills by delivering babies herself or through apprenticeship to other TBAs.

In Samoa, TBAs are recognized part of both the formal and informal health care system.

Abstract:

Despite global efforts encouraging institutional deliveries with skilled attendants, many pregnant women in developing countries such as Nigeria continue to rely on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for child delivery. Attempts at weeding off TBAs have been firmly resisted by their clients who have developed confidence and trust in their services and herald them as first and trusted responders to child delivery cases. Unfortunately, recent evidence has shown that TBAs in servicing public trust and for other reasons, often do not timely refer their clients to the closest source of formal heal

Abstract:

Maternal exhaustion is a common diagnosis for Guatemalan women referred to community hospitals by traditional birth attendants (TBAs). Maternal exhaustion is associated with prolonged labor, bearing down for > 2 hours, and oxytocin administration by TBAs. The strongest association is with prolonged bearing down which is a practice commonly encouraged by Guatemalan TBAs. Training TBAs in instructing the mother not to bear down until she has an urge to push and not to administer oxytocin to their patients had little impact in curtailing these practices. This lack of effect may be due to cultu

This investigation introduces a convenient and scalable method to obtain enantiopure TBAs with the formation and digestion of a chiral MOF composed of fully recoverable and non-hazardous starting materials, namely, cyclodextrin-based metal–organic framework (CD-MOF).

On the other hand, government policies expounded through the Ministry of Health (MoH) programs and policies appear to be relegating them to the fringes of healthcare provision. However,

This current study had two purposes: (a) to implement and evaluate the use of enhanced training modalities (active-learning strategies and use of technology in a remote area), and (b) to pilot training-of-trainer (ToT) methods. The current study builds upon the previous study in which we conducted and evaluated a simulation-based training among low-literacy Guatemala traditional birth attendants (TB

Abstract:

Access to skilled birth attendance is critical in improving maternal and newborn health. However, in low resource settings, rural and refugee camps, professionally trained staff are often in short supply hence women tend to rely on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for delivery. Despite knowledge that a health care facility delivery is safer, many women from low resource environments continue to seek for the care of TBAs. In order to understand the care provided to refugee women during pregnancy and after birth, in a refugee camp, a study was conducted in Ifo Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. Th

Abstract:

Delivery by traditional birth attendants (TBAs) has become a culture in several regions in Indonesia. The absence of health insurance ownership and lack of knowledge have supported the decision to choose TBA by the expectant mothers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between health insurance ownership with delivery by TBA. This research was a cross-sectional study with 120 samples of women aged 15-49 years who had ever given birth in the last five years and lived in Sangiangtanjung Village, Lebak, Banten.

Abstract:

Guatemalan maternal and infant mortality rates remain high, particularly among indigenous populations. In remote areas, traditional birth attendants (TBAs), without formal midwifery education, are frequently the only maternal care providers. We conducted a mixed methods study to evaluate knowledge, skills, and attitudes of 26 TBAs in western Guatemala. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of a community-based midwifery training program and to determine how the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of TBAs influence the care provided to indigenous mothers and infants.

Abstract:

BackgroundMany maternal and perinatal deaths in low-resource settings are preventable. Inadequate access to timely, quality care in maternity facilities drives poor outcomes, especially where women deliver at home with traditional birth attendants (TBA). Yet few solutions exist to support TBA-initiated referrals or address reasons patients frequently refuse facility care, such as disrespectful and abusive treatment. We hypothesised that deploying accompaniers—obstetric care navigators (OCN)—trained to provide integrated patient support would facilitate referrals from TBAs to public hospitals.M
