Non-specialist delivered psycho-social interventions for women with perinatal depression living in rural communities
Evidence from low- and middle-income countries suggests that non-specialist-delivered interventions effectively improve access to perinatal mental health care. However, there have been no systematic attempts to synthesize the evidence on effectiveness, relevance, and application of this strategy to resource-limited settings such as rural areas. The aim of this review is to synthesize the evidence about the effectiveness of non-specialist delivere…
Using knowledge translation to support the use of evaluation findings
Using program evaluation findings is crucial in improving health programs and realising the program’s benefits. In this article, we report on how a knowledge translation (KT) approach supported the use of evaluation findings to improve the Linda Mama free maternity program in Kenya. We used a case study design employing qualitative approaches to describe our KT strategy and its impact on evaluation use. Data were collected through semi-structured…
Kangaroo mother care prior to clinical stabilisation
Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an evidence-based method to improve newborn survival. However, scale-up even for stable newborns has been slow, with reported barriers to implementation. We examined facilitators and barriers to initiating KMC before stabilisation amongst neonates recruited to the OMWaNA study in Uganda. The OMWaNA study was a randomised controlled trial that examined the mortality effect of KMC prior to stabilisation amongst newborn…
Improvement of community health worker counseling skills through early childhood development (ECD) videos, supervision and mentorship
Background Community health workers (CHWs) play significant roles in improving health practices in under- resourced communities. This study evaluated an early childhood development (ECD) project in Tanzania assessing the effect of mobile video use, supervision and mentorship to improve quality of CHW counseling skills. Methods CHWs participating in the Malezi Project in Tabora Region were enrolled in a mixed methods pre-post evaluation. CHWs prev…
A qualitative enquiry of health care workers’ narratives on knowledge and sources of information on principles of Respectful Maternity Care (RMC)
Research from sub-Saharan Africa indicate that many women experience varied forms of disrespectful maternity care, which amount to a violation of their rights and dignity. Notably, there is little research that sheds light on health care workers (HCWs) training and knowledge of principles of respectful maternity care (RMC). Formulating appropriate interventional strategies to promote the respectful provision of services for women during pregnancy…
The role of men in antenatal care and preventing HIV transmission from mothers to infants in Gambella region, Ethiopia
Prevention of vertical transmission of HIV has evolved over the past two decades. Although public health agencies advocate for male involvement in such interventions, their role in the prevention of vertical transmission of HIV remains limited. This study aims to explore the role of men in antenatal care and prevention of vertical transmission of HIV in the Gambella region of Ethiopia. The study was conducted among the Nuer and Anuak communities …
