  • Newborn cord care practices in Haiti

    Open AccessSusan Walsh, Kathleen F Norr et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    Newborn cord infections commonly lead to neonatal sepsis and death, particularly in low-resource countries where newborns may receive unhygienic cord care. Topical application of chlorhexidine to the newborn's cord has been shown to prevent infection. Such benefits may be particularly important in Haiti. We explored current cord care practices by conducting a qualitative study using five focus groups among key community stakeholders (mothers of n…

  • HIV-related symptoms and patient clusters among Chileans living with HIV

    Alejandra-Ximena Araya, A X Araya et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Identifying both Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related and co-morbid symptoms experienced by people living with HIV (PLWH) who are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment is a major challenge for healthcare providers globally. Yet, little research to date has examined the symptoms of illness experienced by PLWH including patients living in Central and South American. To address this gap, this study was designed to identify symptoms …

  • Women's Perceptions of Childbirth Experience at a Hospital in Rural Tanzania

    Yoko Shimpuku, Crystal L Patil et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2013

    Tanzania's health care provider shortage, especially in rural areas, makes it challenging to meet women's support needs in hospitals. We describe women's perceptions of childbirth support at a hospital in rural Tanzania. We interviewed 25 women within 24 hours after delivery using semistructured interviews. Most women sought life-saving technological support in case of complications. They also valued having family present to provide care and affe…

  • Matroniya

    Nicole Warren, Kathleen F Norr et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2013

    Our team explored the lived experiences of rural auxiliary midwives, or matrones, in Mali. Since matrones attend more births than all other health workers combined, they are critical to efforts to reduce maternal mortality. Currently, their experiences are not well understood. This study used interpretive phenomenology to describe the experiences of seven matrones. We suggest that matrones provide a vital connection between traditional approaches…

  • Aids awareness and knowledge among Botswana women

    Kathleen F Norr, Sheila Tlou et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International1996

    In-depth interviews with 56 urban women in Botswana revealed high levels of AIDS awareness and high reliance on mass media information.

Nearly all of the women were aware that the virus that leads to AIDS is sexually transmitted and believed that condoms are effective for prevention. However, one third had incorrect knowledge about transmi…

  • Women's status in peasant‐level fishing

    James L Norr, Kathleen F NorrARTICLESociety & Natural Resources1992Referencias: 8

    The women of Minakuppam, a small hamlet of ocean‐going fishermen located just outside the city of Madras in Tamilnadu, India, are more active and less limited in their daily social activities and have more power than women in most Indian farming villages. This contrast is extended with evidence on women's status in fishing and agricultural communities in other predominantly agrarian societies. Several crucial features of political economy account…
