BACKGROUND: Adherence to healthcare-associated infection prevention and control best practices is essential to reducing morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, where structural and educational challenges may affect adherence. Strengthening nursing education requires contextually appropriate frameworks and valid tools to evaluate them. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the culturally adapted InovSafeCare Questionnaire an…
Experiences and feasibility of implementing and using smiley survey terminals as a research tool at six maternity care facilities in Malawi and Tanzania
This article discusses the feasibility and experiences of implementing and using digital smiley-surveys in research exploring women’s experiences of maternity care during their hospitalisation at six maternity hospitals in Malawi and Tanzania. Being mindful of concerns regarding women’s inability to provide honest health-care feedback in many low- and middle-income settings for fear of retribution, we established a system which enabled timely, an…
A meta-core outcome set for stillbirth prevention and bereavement care following stillbirth in LMIC
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Stillbirth is burdensome in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Currently, there are two core outcome sets (COS) for stillbirth (prevention and bereavement care), but these were developed with limited reflection of the needs of parents in an LMIC setting. To address this gap, the objective of this study was to establish consensus on the most important outcomes for still…
Respectful care an added extra
Background Quality of maternal and newborn care is integral to positive clinical, social and psychological outcomes. Respectful care is an important component of this but is suboptimum in many low-income settings. A renewed energy among health professionals and academics is driving an international agenda to eradicate disrespectful health facility care around the globe. However, few studies have explored respectful care from different vantage poi…

Screening of women for intimate partner violence
UNLABELLED: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem in Tanzania with limited health care interventions. OBJECTIVES: To study the feasibility of using an abuse screening tool for women attending an outpatient department, and describe how health care workers perceived its benefits and challenges. METHODS: Prior to screening, 39 health care workers attended training on gender-based violence and the suggested screening procedures. …
Striving to Make a Difference
In this article we describe health care workers' (HCWs') experiences and perceptions of meeting clients exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). Qualitative content analysis of in-depth interviews from 16 informants resulted in four main themes. The first, "internalizing women's suffering and powerlessness," describes HCWs' perceptions of violence, relating it to gender relations. The second, "caught between encouraging disclosure and lack of …
An evaluation of Health Workers for Change in seven settings
This paper presents the findings of a multi-centre study assessing the impact of Health Workers for Change (HWFC) workshops in seven different primary care sites, based on the common core protocol described in this paper. The paper discusses a common methodology used by the studies, consisting of a triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods. Such methodologies are inherently complex as they require comparisons across systems, sites and…
