How maternal morbidities impact women’s quality of life during pregnancy and postpartum in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
Maternal morbidities present a major burden to the health and well-being of childbearing women. However, their impacts on women’s functional health are not well understood. This work aims to describe how maternal morbidities affect women’s quality of life (QoL) in pregnancy and the postpartum period . This qualitative study involved 118 pregnant and 135 postpartum women at six study sites in Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, Pakistan, and India. Data were co…
Factors influencing vaccination up-take among nomadic population in four regions of Ghana
Community leaders support vaccination among pastoralist nomads. Nomadic pastoralist miss vaccination dues to language barrier, feel discriminated against, and lack information about diseases and vaccinations. Strengthening Ghana Health Service collaboration with leaders of pastoralist nomads could build trust, create awareness and overcome language barrier between healthcare providers and pastoralist nomads
EMBRACE intervention to improve the continuum of care in maternal and newborn health in Ghana
BACKGROUND: Improving maternal and newborn health remains one of the most critical public health challenges, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries. To overcome this challenge, interventions to improve the continuum of care based on real-world settings need to be provided. The Ghana Ensure Mothers and Babies Regular Access to Care (EMBRACE) Implementation Research Team conducted a unique intervention program involving over 21 000 …
“Every Newborn-INDEPTH” (EN-INDEPTH) study protocol for a randomised comparison of household survey modules for measuring stillbirths and neonatal deaths in five Health and Demographic Surveillance si…
BACKGROUND: may underestimate mortality rates particularly for stillbirths. METHODS: and FPH to measure pregnancy outcomes in a household survey in five selected INDEPTH Network sites in Africa and South Asia (Bandim in urban and rural Guinea-Bissau; Dabat in Ethiopia; IgangaMayuge in Uganda; Kintampo in Ghana; Matlab in Bangladesh). The survey will reach >68 000 pregnancies to assess if there is ≥15% difference in stillbirth rates. Additional qu…
When someone becomes old then every part of the body too becomes old
Studies have suggested that in African countries, symptoms of cognitive decline are commonly seen as part of "normal ageing" or attributed to supernatural causes. The impact of folk beliefs about causality upon help-seeking is unclear. Likewise, there is a lack of evidence relating to how families cope with living with an older resident with dementia. Our study's aim was to explore the sociocultural beliefs, understandings, perceptions and behavi…
Determinants of attending antenatal care at least four times in rural Ghana
BACKGROUND: Improving maternal health is a global challenge. In Ghana, maternal morbidity and mortality rates remain high, particularly in rural areas. Antenatal care (ANC) attendance is known to improve maternal health. However, few studies have updated current knowledge regarding determinants of ANC attendance. OBJECTIVE: This study examined factors associated with ANC attendance in predominantly rural Ghana. METHODS: We conducted a cross-secti…
Patterns of cultural consensus and intracultural diversity in Ghanaian complementary feeding practices
Designing effective interventions to improve infant and young child (IYC) feeding requires knowledge about determinants of current practices, including cultural factors. Current approaches to obtaining and using research on culture tend to assume cultural homogeneity within a population. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of cultural consensus (homogeneity) in communities where interventions to improve IYC feeding practices are n…
