Stillbirth and newborn data quality and use and related input and process factors
Background: High quality data is mandatory when shaping action-oriented policies aimed at reducing preventable neonatal deaths. Ethiopia has a high a neonatal mortality rate, but there has been limited assessment of the quality and use of newborn data, and its contributing factors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Ethiopia from November 2022 to September 2023 in 35 sites: 24 facilities, 10 subnational data offices, and the Ministr…
Newborn and family-centered care
Background: Newborn- and family-centered care (N&FCC) is essential for improving newborn and parental outcomes, yet no previous review focused on related newborn rights and principles. In this scoping review, we aimed to identify and synthetise related rights of hospitalised newborns and principles of N&FCC enunciated in the literature, assess correspondence of rights with international human rights instruments, examine alignments between rights …
Stillbirth and newborn data quality and use and related input and process factors
Background: The reduction of preventable newborn deaths in low- and middle-income countries is a global priority. The availability of high-quality newborn and stillbirth data is essential for shaping action-oriented policies and interventions towards resolving these challenges. Using a mixed-methods approach, we evaluated the input and process factors hindering data quality and use in Uganda. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from Nov…
Maternal Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Participation in Care in Neonatal Semi-Intensive and Intensive Care Units
Background/Objectives : Admission of a newborn to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) places mothers under considerable psychological strain, yet there is limited research from resource-limited settings regarding this aspect. This study represents the Sri Lankan arm of the multicentre study titled "Empowering Parents in the NICU". It aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of stress, depression, and anxiety among mothers of neo…
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
Background: Adequate functionality of electronic routine health information systems (eRHISs) is crucial for data use, yet few studies explored it in relation to newborn and stillbirth data in Africa. Methods: We conducted this cross-sectional study between November 2022 and July 2024 in data offices at central and subnational levels in 12 regions and 4 city administrations in the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda. Exc…
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…
Health workers’ perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn health care around the time of childbirth
Background: Health workers' (HWs') perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) are not routinely collected. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to document HWs' perspectives on QMNC around childbirth in 12 World Health Organization (WHO) European countries. Methods: HWs involved in maternal/neonatal care for at least one year between March 2020 and March 2023 answered an online validated WHO standards-based questionnaire c…
Women’s suggestions on how to improve the quality of maternal and newborn care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy
Background: Recent evidence revealed significant gaps in the quality of maternal and newborn care in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region (EUR) countries. Collecting and analyzing women's views on their needs and priorities is crucial for developing actions to improve the quality of maternal and newborn care. With this study from the IMAgiNE EURO Project, we aimed to add to previous quantitative studies by analysing emerging themes…

Evolution of Sars-CoV-2 IgG Seroprevalence in Children and Factors Associated with Seroconversion
Data on the effective burden of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the pediatric population are limited. We aimed at assessing the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in children at three subsequent time-points. The study was conducted between January 2021 and July 2021 among children referring to the Research Institute for Maternal and Child Health "Burlo Garofolo" in Trieste, a referral regional hospital in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. A multivari…
What Is Next for Public Health after Covid-19 in Italy? Adopting a Youth-Centred Care Approach in Mental Health Services
Although endeavours to protect mental well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic were taken at national and regional levels, e.g., mental support in school, a COVID-19 emergency toll-free number for psychological support, these were sporadic conjunctural financing interventions. In this Communication, the authors conducted a systematic search for programmatic and policy documents and reports with a solid literature and policy analysis concerning the…
Immuni” and the National Health System
Since the early stage of the current pandemic, digital contact tracing (DCT) through mobile phone apps, called "Immuni", has been introduced to complement manual contact tracing in Italy. Until 31 December 2021, Immuni identified 44,880 COVID-19 cases, which corresponds to less than 1% of total COVID-19 cases reported in Italy in the same period (5,886,411). Overall, Immuni generated 143,956 notifications. Although the initial download of the Imm…
