‘One woman, one bed’: Prevalence and factors associated with women’s experiences of respectful birth in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – across-sectional survey
BACKGROUND: Respectful maternity care (RMC) is essential for quality care, safety, and a fundamental right of women during childbirth. However, mistreatment during childbirth hinders global efforts to reduce maternal and perinatal deaths and birth-related injuries. In rapidly urbanizing Dar es Salaam, disrespectful care in overcrowded maternity units is concerning. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with women's experience…
Maternal perception of fetal movements: Views, knowledge and practices of women and health providers in a low-resource setting
The study assessed perception, knowledge, and practices regarding maternal perception of fetal movements (FMs) among women and their healthcare providers in a low-resource setting. Semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and focus group discussions were conducted with 45 Zanzibar women (18 antenatal, 28 postpartum) and 28 health providers at the maternity unit of Mnazi Mmoja Hospital, Zanzibar, Tanzania. Descriptive and thematic analyses were …
Understanding women’s decision-making process for birth location in Tanzania based on individual women’s reproductive pathways: A life-course perspective
BACKGROUND: Determinants for women's care seeking for birth in low-income setting are multifactorial and remain poorly understood. A life course approach can assist to structure the interplay of the different factors that lead to women seeking care or not. OBJECTIVE: In this study we aimed to explore individual women's reproductive pathways, and increase understanding of how important life events including previous pregnancy and birth experiences…
Scaling up context-tailored clinical guidelines and training to improve childbirth care in urban, low-resource maternity units in Tanzania: A protocol for a stepped-wedged cluster randomized trial wit…
While facility births are increasing in many low-resource settings, quality of care often does not follow suit; maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity remain unacceptably high. Therefore, realistic, context-tailored clinical support is crucially needed to assist birth attendants in resource-constrained realities to provide best possible evidence-based and respectful care. Our pilot study in Zanzibar suggested that co-created clinical prac…
Disrespect and abuse in maternity care: Individual Consequences of Structural Violence
Disrespect and abuse of patients, especially birthing women, does occur in the health sector. This is a violation of women's fundamental human rights and can be viewed as a consequence of women's lives not being valued by larger social, economic and political structures. Here we demonstrate how such disrespect and abuse is enacted at an interpersonal level across the continuum of care in Tanzania. We describe how and why women's exposure to disre…
Maternity care and Human Rights: What do women think
BACKGROUND: A human rights approach to maternal health is considered as a useful framework in international efforts to reduce maternal mortality. Although fundamental human rights principles are incorporated into legal and medical frameworks, human rights have to be translated into measurable actions and outcomes. So far, their substantive applications remain unclear. The aim of this study is to explore women's perspectives and experiences of mat…
