Development of a survey tool to measure pediatric experience of care
Despite increased availability of child health services, poor quality of care remains a major barrier to improved health outcomes in low-resource settings. Few validated tools exist to measure pediatric experience of care (PEC). Building on prior work in respectful maternity care, this study developed a caregiver-reported PEC survey based on a new conceptual framework and assessed the clarity, relevance, and cultural appropriateness of survey ite…
Understanding factors influencing care seeking for sick children in Ebonyi and Kogi States, Nigeria
We conclude that care-seeking decisions do not follow a linear process; that intra-household decision-making processes particularly among parents should not be underestimated in addressing sick-child care seeking; and that, given the role of mothers as primary caregivers, their knowledge in illness recognition and agency in care-seeking decision-making, and seeking biomedical care, is deserving of future study
How the introduction of a human resources information system helped the Democratic Republic of Congo to mobilise domestic resources for an improved health workforce
The Democratic Republic of Congo has flagged health workforce management and compensation as issues requiring attention, including the problem of ghost workers (individuals on payroll who do not exist and/or show up at work). Recognising the need for reliable health workforce information, the government has worked to implement iHRIS, an open source human resources information system that facilitates health workforce management. In Kasaï Central a…
Using LiST to model potential reduction in under-five mortality in Burkina Faso
These findings suggest that significant reductions in under-five mortality may be achieved through the scale-up of the Acceleration. The Ministry of Health and its partners in Burkina Faso should continue their efforts to scale up these proven interventions to achieve and even exceed target levels for coverage
Quality of sick child care delivered by Health Surveillance Assistants in Malawi
OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of care provided by Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs)-a cadre of community-based health workers-as part of a national scale-up of community case management of childhood illness (CCM) in Malawi. METHODS: Trained research teams visited a random sample of HSAs (n = 131) trained in CCM and provided with initial essential drug stocks in six districts, and observed the provision of sick child care. Trained clinician…
Home management of childhood diarrhoea in southern Mali-Implications for the introduction of zinc treatment
Local terminology for medicines to treat fever in Bougouni District, Mali
Current household survey methods are likely to provide inaccurate estimates of appropriate treatment of febrile illness, and thus alternative approaches are recommended. In introducing new malaria treatments, malaria control programmes should differentiate recommended treatments from other medications through distinctive packaging, drug appearance and appropriate Bambara language terms
Intervention models for the management of children with signs of pneumonia or malaria by community health workers
A systematic review was conducted to categorize and describe Intervention Models involving community health workers (CHWs) that aim to improve case management of sick children at the household and community levels. The review focused on management of children with signs of malaria or pneumonia. Seven Intervention Models were identified, and classified according to: (1) the role of CHWs and families in assessment and treatment of children, (2) sys…
