Comparing observed occurrence of mistreatment during childbirth with women’s self-report
BACKGROUND: There has been substantial progress in developing approaches to measure mistreatment of women during childbirth. However, less is known about the differences in measurement approaches. In this study, we compare measures of mistreatment obtained from the same women using labour observations and community-based surveys in Ghana, Guinea and Nigeria. METHODS: Experiences of mistreatment during childbirth are person-centred quality measure…
Mistreatment of women during childbirth and postpartum depression
BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a leading cause of disability globally with estimated prevalence of approximately 20% in low-income and middle-income countries. This study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with PPD following mistreatment during facility-based childbirth. METHOD: This secondary analysis used data from the community survey of postpartum women in Ghana, Guinea, Myanmar and Nigeria for the WHO study, …
Feasibility and readiness to implement Robson classification to monitor caesarean sections in public hospitals in Myanmar
Recent years have demonstrated an increase in caesarean section (CS) in most countries worldwide with considerable concern for the potential consequences. In 2015, WHO proposed the use of Robson classification as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates. Currently, there is no standardized method to assess CS in Myanmar. The aim of this study was to explore health provider’s perceptions about the feasibility, acceptabili…
Adolescent experiences of mistreatment during childbirth in health facilities
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy and childbearing among adolescents-especially younger adolescents-is associated with health complications and lost opportunities for education and personal development. In addition to established challenges adolescents and young women face in sexual and reproductive healthcare, evidence suggests that they also face mistreatment during childbirth. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of the WHO study 'How women are treated…
Labour companionship and women’s experiences of mistreatment during childbirth
BACKGROUND: Evidence has shown the benefits of labour companions during childbirth. Few studies have documented the relationship between the absence of labour companions and mistreatment of women during childbirth in low-income and middle-income countries using a standardised tool. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the WHO multi-country study on how women are treated during childbirth, where a cross-sectional community survey was cond…
Development of measures for assessing mistreatment of women during facility-based childbirth based on labour observations
INTRODUCTION: Mistreatment of women during childbirth is increasingly recognised as a significant issue globally. Research and programmatic efforts targeting this phenomenon have been limited by a lack of validated measurement tools. This study aimed to develop a set of concise, valid and reliable multidimensional measures for mistreatment using labour observations applicable across multiple settings. METHODS: Data from continuous labour observat…
Women’s report of mistreatment during facility-based childbirth
BACKGROUND: Accountability for mistreatment during facility-based childbirth requires valid tools to measure and compare birth experiences. We analyse the WHO 'How women are treated during facility-based childbirth' community survey to test whether items mapping the typology of mistreatment function as scales and to create brief item sets to capture mistreatment by domain. METHODS: The cross-sectional community survey was conducted at up to 8 wee…
Women’s experiences of mistreatment during childbirth and their satisfaction with care
INTRODUCTION: Experiences of care and satisfaction are intrinsically linked, as user's experiences of care may directly impact satisfaction, or indirectly impact user's expectations and values. Both experiences of care and satisfaction are important to measure so that quality can be monitored and improved. Globally, women experience mistreatment during childbirth at facilities; however, there is limited evidence exploring the mistreatment and wom…
How women are treated during facility-based childbirth in four countries
BACKGROUND: Women across the world are mistreated during childbirth. We aimed to develop and implement evidence-informed, validated tools to measure mistreatment during childbirth, and report results from a cross-sectional study in four low-income and middle-income countries. METHODS: We prospectively recruited women aged at least 15 years in twelve health facilities (three per country) in Ghana, Guinea, Myanmar, and Nigeria between Sept 19, 2016…
Time to anti-retroviral therapy among people living with HIV enrolled into care in Myanmar
BACKGROUND: Among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolled into care, time to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has not been studied in Myanmar. To inform progress, we conducted this operational research among treatment-naive PLHIV (≥18 years) enrolled during a period of three years (2014-2016) at Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar. OBJECTIVES: To determine (i) the time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation (time to ART) and associated factors and (ii) the associat…
