Over Time

In an effort to reduce newborn mortality, a newly developed strap-on electronic fetal heart rate monitor was introduced at several health facilities in Tanzania in 2015. Training sessions were organized to teach staff how to use the device in clinical settings. This study explores skilled birth attendants’ perceptions and experiences acquiring and transferring knowledge about the use of the monitor, also called Moyo. Knowledge about this learning process is crucial to further improve training programs and ensure correct, long-term use. Five Focus group discussions (FGDs) were carried out with doctors and nurse-midwives, who were using the monitor in the labor ward at two health facilities in Tanzania. The FGDs were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The study revealed that the participants experienced the training about the device as useful but inadequate. Due to high turnover, a frequently mentioned challenge was that many of the birth attendants who were responsible for training others, were no longer working in the labor ward. Many participants expressed a need for refresher trainings, more practical exercises and more theory on labor management. The study highlights the need for frequent trainings sessions over time with focus on increasing overall knowledge in labor management to ensure correct use of the monitor over time.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy, reliability, clinical utility, and usability of HeraBEAT, a wireless fetal and maternal heart rate monitor (HBM) when used by clinicians and pregnant women to monitor fetal heart rate (FHR).MethodsWe recruited women aged 18 years or older with a singleton pregnancy of ≥12 weeks gestation. FHR recordings were performed using the HBM and cardiotocography (CTG) to determine comparative accuracy. The HBM was then used by clinicians and participants in the antenatal clinic with the latter then using the device unassisted to record at home. The women rated the HBM using the System Usability Scale (SUS).ResultsA total of 81 participants provided 126 recordings for analysis. The accuracy of the HBM was excellent compared with CTG, with limits of agreement (95%) between −1.5 and +0.9 beats per minute (bpm) and a mean difference of −0.29 bpm. The FHR was detected on 100% of occasions by clinicians (52 recordings) and participants when used in the clinic (42 recordings) and at home (32 recordings). Home users took an average of 1.1 minutes to detect the FHR and recorded a continuous trace of >1 minute in 94% of occasions, with an average total trace time of 4.4 minutes. The FHR trace was deemed to be clinically useful in 100% of clinician recordings and 97% of home recordings. There was no effect from body mass index, gestational age, pregnancy history, or placental position. The HBM ranked in the 96–100th percentile on the SUS for usability and learnability.ConclusionsThe HBM was accurate and easy for clinicians and participants to use. The data recorded at home was equivalent to that obtained in the clinic using current assessment protocols for low-risk pregnancies, allowing the device to be used in telehealth consultations.Clinical Trial RegistrationAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry, https://www.anzctr.org.au ACTRN12620000739910.
