Neonatal resuscitation skills retention among healthcare providers one year after implementation of in situ low-dose high-frequency simulations using innovative tools across two regions in Tanzania
Background The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) was introduced in five regions in Tanzania to improve the quality of care around birth. Among the interventions was an initiative to train healthcare providers on neonatal resuscitation following the Helping Babies Breathe curriculum, using innovative simulation tools.Objectives This study aimed to assess simulated neonatal resuscitation skills retention and associated factors one year after imple…
Acceptability Among Healthcare Providers of In Situ, Low-Dose, High-Frequency Neonatal Resuscitation Simulation Training Using Innovative Tools
Introduction : Newborn mortality is unacceptably high, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) was implemented in Tanzania, including training of healthcare workers on neonatal resuscitation by means of frequent in situ simulation training using improved training tools. We aimed to assess the acceptability of this training model among healthcare providers in selected health facilities under SBBC inte…
Application of variance components to the identification of determinants of modern contraceptive use in the Tanzania demographic and health survey data
This study highlighted the utility of accounting for variance structures in addressing determinants of MCU while using DHS national level data. Apart from MCU, the DHS data have been widely applied to examine other variables pertaining to public health issues. This approach could be considered a better modelling technique for the DHS studies compared to traditional survey approaches, and to guide hierarchical population-based interventions to inc…
Family Planning Uptake in Kagera and Mara Regions in Tanzania
In Tanzania, 27.1% of all women of reproductive age are currently using modern contraception and 16.8% have an unmet need for family planning. We therefore examined factors associated with family planning uptake after giving birth in two regions of Tanzania. The survey, which collected information beyond that collected in the Tanzania Demographic Health Survey, used a two-stage, stratified-cluster sampling design, conducted in April 2016 in Mara …
Scale-Up of Doppler to Improve Intrapartum Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring in Tanzania
High-quality intrapartum care, including intermittent monitoring of fetal heart rates (FHR) to detect and manage abnormalities, is recommended by WHO and the Government of Tanzania (GoT) and creates potential to save newborn lives in Tanzania. Handheld Doppler devices have been investigated in several low-resource countries as an alternative to Pinard stethoscope and are more sensitive to detecting accelerations and decelerations of the fetal hea…
Women’s Experience of Facility-Based Childbirth Care and Receipt of an Early Postnatal Check for Herself and Her Newborn in Northwestern Tanzania
Negative experiences of care may act as a deterrent to current and/or future utilization of facility-based health services. To examine the situation in Tanzania, we conducted a sub-analysis of a cross-sectional household survey conducted in April 2016 in the Mara and Kagera regions of Tanzania. The sample included 732 women aged 15–49 years who had given birth in a health facility during the previous two years. Log binomial regression models were…
Factors affecting early identification of pregnant women by community health workers in Morogoro, Tanzania
We present a framework for the interaction of factors that affect CHWs' ability to identify pregnant women early in gestation. Further studies need to be conducted investigating optimal workload for CHWs, as well as reasons pregnant women might conceal their pregnancies
