It aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of stress, depression, and anxiety among mothers of neo…
Measuring and monitoring child health and well-being—an integral part of the climate change agenda
Climate change has far-reaching consequences for all aspects of human society (Romanello et al. 2023). Children are uniquely vulnerable to climate change for a multitude of physiological and developmental reasons as well as because of distinctive behaviors such as outdoor play that increase their exposure to climate-related stressors (EPA 2023). Several reviews have summarized the multiple direct and indirect pathways through which climate change…
Facility newborn and stillbirth data use and enabling factors at different levels of the health system
Background: Improving data quality and use is a priority identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) to reduce stillbirths and newborn deaths; however, few studies have documented newborn and stillbirth data use in the African Region. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study from November 2022 to July 2024 in 12 regions and four city administrations across the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda. …
Users’ capabilities related to the electronic RHIS for newborn and stillbirth indicators
Background: The electronic routine health information system (eRHIS) is crucial for policy and planning. However, its effectiveness depends on end-users' capabilities in utilising it. Using a mixed-methods approach, we evaluated end-users' data in the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda in one of the first standardised cross-country assessment of eRHIS users' capabilities focussed on newborn and stillbirth indicators. M…
Functionalities of electronic routine health information systems related to newborn data

Organisational and management factors and related end-users’ perspectives relevant to newborn and stillbirth data at different levels of the health system
Background: As few studies systematically analysed organisational and management factors related to newborn and stillbirth data quality, we sought to identify specific gaps in these factors to provide evidence for planning tailored actions. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey in 12 regions and 4 city administrations in the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda between November 2022 and July 2024, collecting dat…
Availability and the quality of key newborn data within routine health facility data
Background: With declining funding for population-based household surveys, routine health facility data offer a promising alternative for tracking newborn health and service quality. However, their utility depends on data quality. We assessed the quality of ten data elements within routine health information systems in the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda, seven of which align with the Every Newborn Action Plan core …
Person- and family-centred care in neonatology
Background: Person- and family-centred care in the field of neonatology (N&FCC) are promoted by many international agencies and scientific societies because of evidence-based benefits for infants, parents and health systems; however, being very broad and evolving concepts, they have not been uniformly defined in operational terms. We conducted a scoping review of literature relevant to N&FCC with the objectives of synthetising: 1) existing defini…
Parental Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Participation in Neonatal Care in a Referral Brazilian Nicu over Different Phases of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background/Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, neonatal care units had to change protocols, and little is known about its impact on parents' mental health. This study aimed to evaluate parental stress, depression, anxiety, and participation in neonatal care in a Brazilian neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and observe changes over two different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional study comparing stress, depression, a…
