Intervention co-design to reduce the impact of heat exposure on pregnant and postpartum women and newborns in Burkina Faso
Interventions are needed to reduce the impact of heat on the health and wellbeing of women and newborns in Burkina Faso where seasonal temperatures can be extremely high. In this article, we share our experience and lessons learned from co-designing an intervention to improve maternal and neonatal health, about heat in a rural and an urban district of Burkina Faso. We performed community engagement and a series of workshops with 49 community memb…
Extreme heat, pregnancy and women’s well-being in Burkina Faso
Climate change is an increasing threat to the health of populations in Africa, with a shift in seasonal temperatures towards more extreme heat exposures. In Burkina Faso, like other countries in the Sahel, many women have little protection against exposure to high temperatures, either outside or inside the home or place of work. This paper investigates how women perceive the impacts of heat on their physical and mental health, in addition to thei…
Process and outputs from a community codesign workshop on reducing impact of heat exposure on pregnant and postpartum women and newborns in Kilifi, Kenya
Background: Ambient heat exposure is increasing due to climate change and is known to affect the health of pregnant and postpartum women, and their newborns. Evidence for the effectiveness of interventions to prevent heat health outcomes in east Africa is limited. Codesigning and integrating local-indigenous and conventional knowledge is essential to develop effective adaptation to climate change. Methods: Following qualitative research on heat i…
Differences in health-related quality of life between native and foreign-born gynaecological cancer patients in Sweden
HRQoL differs between native and foreign-born gynaecological cancer patients in Sweden, with lower HRQoL the further from Sweden the women are born. A more individualised cancer care, with tailored support to optimize HRQoL is needed for this vulnerable group of patients
Comparison of the Analytic Performance Between the B-HB and HB-201+ HemoCue® Hemoglobinometers for Venous and Capillary Blood Under Field Work Conditions
This study aimed at comparing the performance of the Hb-201+ and B-Hb HemoCues under field work conditions with 62 indigenous schoolchildren. The microcuvettes were filled with capillary and venous blood. Mean Hb using the Hb-201+ and B-Hb was 13.0 and 13.2 g/dL for venous blood, and 13.7 and 13.5 g/dL for capillary blood, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient was high (0.95, p<0.01) between the instruments for venous blood, but it…
