Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the level of the perinatal healthcare institution (PHI) where the newborns were delivered. We included newborns of both genders that were born in the maternity wards in 10 cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). From the PHI of the first and second level, 159 newborns were referred to the third level. Out of a total of 159 LBWI referred from other PHI, only 19.5% LBWI were transported in less than 4 hours. In second level PHI, most LBWI died in the first 12 hours after birth.
The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate a skill-based, computer intervention designed to facilitate effective prenatal visit communication for women with restricted literacy.
The study includes pregnant women referred for foetal antepartum computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) monitoring as outpatients. Pregnant women were divided into two groups based on their coffee intake: the coffee group and the control group. Each pregnant woman had cCTG. Two doctors assessed and recorded the amount of coffee taken by pregnant women before the CTG.
This study seeks to conduct a six-year follow-up of the Bandebereho randomized control trial (RCT) to assess the longer-term impact of the gender-transformative Bandebereho couples intervention on participating men, women, and their children. The Bandebereho program was implemented by the Rwanda Men's Resource Centre (RWAMREC) and Promundo-US, in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Health and local authorities between 2013 and 2015. A two-arm RCT collected three rounds of data from 1,199 couples (575 treatment; 624 control) starting in 2015-16: baseline (pre-intervention), 9 month follow-up, and 21-month follow-up. The findings at 21-months demonstrated significant impacts of the intervention on multiple gender and health-related outcomes. This study will conduct surveys with men enrolled in the RCT and their female partners 6 years after the intervention, to assess its long-term impact on reproductive and maternal health, gender attitudes and household dynamics, intimate partner violence, mental health and wellbeing, parenting, and child development. In addition, child assessments will be conducted with a sub-sample of 800 children aged 4 to 7 years to directly assess early childhood development outcomes.
A randomised control trial will made to determine the effects of nursing care based on Meleis's Theory of Transition on Adaptation of Women to Motherhood and their Perception of New-born Infant
This pilot project aims to implement and investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a unique community based prenatal care and support model for African American women and infants in Dane County. The model, the "Today Not Tomorrow Pregnancy and Infant Support Program (TNT-PISP)" builds on emerging evidence about how to effectively implement and sustain prenatal care in black communities. It combines three approaches-community-based doula programs; group-based models of prenatal care, such as Centering Pregnancy; and community-based pregnancy support groups-into once monthly group sessions held during the prenatal and immediate postpartum period. The project is based at the Today Not Tomorrow Family Resource Center in Madison's East Side Community Center, and carried out in close collaboration with Project Babies, Harambee Village Doulas, and the African American Breastfeeding Alliance of Dane County, Inc.
The Preemie Prep for Parents (P3) mobile intervention will be tested in an outpatient population of pregnant women at risk of preterm birth and their partners. The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing knowledge and preparedness for decision making between a group receiving the P3 texts and videos and a group receiving links to American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) prematurity patient education handouts.
In 2015, the average Ethiopian woman had a 1 in 64 lifetime risk of death due to complications of childbirth and 87,414 newborns died before their 28th day of life. Demand for MNCH services, however, remains low in Ethiopia's rural communities most at risk with only 16% of women delivering in a health facility. The investigator's project responds to the challenge of creating demand for existing MNCH services in rural Ethiopia, which fell short of reaching Millennium Development Goal targets for reducing preventable maternal and neonatal deaths. This study addresses two strategic drivers to prevent maternal mortality identified by USAID including improving individual, household, and community behaviors and norms and increasing equity of access and use of services by the most vulnerable. The primary objective of the study is to determine the impact of a behavior change intervention that partners Ethiopian Orthodox priests with members of the Health Development Army (HDA) and trains them to conduct maternal health outreach to increase births attended by skilled health personnel among women who attend ≥1 ANC visits.
A midwife-led continuity model of care was implemented in governmental maternal facilities in Palestine. Midwives from the hospitals provided outreaching caseload ante- and postnatal care to women in rural villages clinics and homes. This study investigated if the model had impact on important maternal and neonatal health outcomes. A retrospective cohort design was used.
This study is investigating whether use of postpartum family planning (PPFP) increases if messages on PPFP and, if desired, PPFP services are integrated into as many contacts as possible between women/couples and the health system during pregnancy and the first year after birth. Health system contacts may be at health facilities (including antenatal, labor and delivery, postnatal, and child immunization visits) or, with Ethiopia's Health Extension Program, at households or health posts in the community.
