Full textAlthough the Kenyan government implemented safe motherhood programme two decades ago, available data indicate that prevalence of home delivery is still high among women in Garissa District. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the factors influencing the choice of place of childbirth. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 224 women who delivered babies two years prior to December 2010. Using a statcalc program in Epi Info 3.3.2, with expected frequency of home delivery at 83% +5% and a 95% confidence level, the calculated sample size was 215. Furthermore, with a 95% response rate the adjusted minimum sample size was 226.There were two none-responses hence 224 women were interviewed. Stratified sampling was used. Data were collected using pre-tested structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed. A binary logistic regression analysis using the Enter method was performed to determine independent predictors for use or non-use of healthcare services for childbirth. The threshold for statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results: The result was presented in text and tables. The study found 67% (n=224) women delivered at home and 33% delivered in hospital. The study found low level of education, poverty, none-attendance of ANC, distance, cost of services, poor quality services, negative attitude towards midwives, experience of previous obstetric complications and decision-making to be significant predictors in home delivery at the bivariate level (p<0.05). The study did not find relationship between age, marital status, religion and place of childbirth (p>0.05). At multivariate level, the following variables were still found to be significant predictors of home delivery: no education OR=8.36 (95% CI; 4.12-17.17), no occupation OR=1.43(95% CI; 1.08–5.49) experience of obstetric complications OR=1.38 (95% CI; 1.15-2.12), none-attendance of antenatal clinic OR=1.11 (95% CI; 1.03–1.51), Rude midwives OR=5.60 (95% CI; 2.66-11.96). Conclusions: high prevalence of home delivery was noted due to lack of education, poverty and inaccessible maternity services hence the need to empower women in education and economy to enhance hospital delivery.

Full textObjective: The current systematic review intends to identify and better understand the interventions implemented in different countries to increase the use of skilled attendants in contexts where traditional birth attendants are the primary provider of childbirth care, and to summarize the outcomes of the different interventions. Methods: Eighty-seven electronic databases were searched for references on traditional birth attendants and midwifery. Experts in the field were also contacted to request documents related to the topic. No distinction was made between low, middle and high-income countries or publication year or status. Standard narrative systematic review methods were used. Findings: The electronic searches yielded a total of 16,814 references from 26 of the 87 databases. After elimination of dupplicates and the application of the eligibility criteria to all references - from the electronic searches and the experts in the field - 19 references were included for systematic data extraction and 91 references for inventory of the type of intervention and country. These references were from a total of 38 countries. Of the 19 references from which data was systematically extracted, the majority of interventions described were: improvement of access to services by removing geographical and/or financial barriers (n= 10) and human resources development and/or deployment (n= 6). Following these, 2 references were about a community advocacy intervention and 1 reference was about cultural adaptation of institutional childbirths. Conclusion: The majority of the included references for systematic data extraction reported studies which were considered of low quality with considerable variation in the quality of reporting. Since most studies did not use random allocation in their design it was difficult to confidently attribute positive outcomes to an individual intervention itself. Nonetheless, the studies reviewed showed positive results for increased use of skilled attendance/attendants and improved maternal mortality outcomes, with a concomitant reduction in the use of traditional birth attendants. However many studies noted that inequities persist and more attention needs to be given to transport costs and cultural preferences. The references analysed in this systematic review present a snapshot of a time/intervention and place and it would be useful to produce in depth country profiles to see the impact of these interventions on maternal deaths reduction.

Full textBackground The Ministry of Health in Zambia is implementing a National Community Health Worker Strategy to improve health care access using a new cadre of community health assistants (CHAs). The strategy does not include traditional birth attendants (TBAs), an existing health care resource in the community. This case study examined how TBAs can work with CHAs to provide prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services to pregnant women and infants in rural areas within this new health worker strategy. Methods Using the case study methodology, this study analyzed multiple sources of data including published and unpublished literature, program documents and key informant interviews. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with policy makers and community field workers involved with TBAs and community health workers providing PMTCT services in rural Zambia. Methodological triangulation was used to synthesize information and compare themes across different sources to gather various perspectives and provide additional insights into the topic. Results In the absence of trained facility-based health care workers, TBAs often provide antenatal and delivery services. Acknowledging the limited provision of care for pregnant women in the CHA Strategy, respondents pointed to the potential role of CHAs in assisting with deliveries. Emphasis was placed on the importance of TBAs to reduce barriers between the home and the formal health system. TBAs and CHAs have complementary skills that can be used in partnership to provide PMTCT services. Conclusions With standardized trainings, TBAs can play a supportive role in providing PMTCT services within the new community health structure. TBAs and CHAs can assist with deliveries and provide PMTCT services at the health facility and at home. TBAs can accompany CHAs to navigate family and gender dynamics and provide home-based adherence, breastfeeding education and support, and referrals. A new incentives model for TBAs has the potential to increase facility births and engage the volunteer cadre in playing a supportive role to the CHAs. This task-shifting and sharing model, using TBAs and CHAs, can improve maternal health services by strengthening the link between the community and the facility and integrating, rather than excluding the traditional health care system.
