Provision Of Care

Person-centered maternity care (PCMC) is defined as care which is respectful of and responsive to women’s and families’ preferences, needs, and values. In this cross-sectional study we aimed to evaluate the correlations among the degree of PCMC implementation, key indicators of provision of care, and women’s satisfaction with maternity care in Sri Lanka. Degree of PCMC implementation was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Provision of good key practices was measured with the World Health Organization (WHO) Bologna Score, whose items include: 1) companionship in childbirth; 2) use of partogram; 3) absence of labor stimulation; 4) childbirth in non-supine position; 5) skin-to-skin contact. Women’s overall satisfaction was assessed on a 1–10 Likert scale. Among 400 women giving birth vaginally, 207 (51.8%) had at least one clinical risk factor and 52 (13.0%) at least one complication. The PCMC implementation mean score was 42.3 (95%CI 41.3–43.4), out of a maximum score of 90. Overall, while 367 (91.8%) women were monitored with a partogram, and 293 (73.3%) delivered non-supine, only 19 (4.8%) did not receive labour stimulation, only 38 (9.5%) had a companion at childbirth, and 165 (41.3%) had skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth. The median total satisfaction score was 7 (IQR 5–9). PCMC implementation had a moderate correlation with women’s satisfaction (r = 0.58), while Bologna score had a very low correlation both with satisfaction (r = 0.12), and PCMC (r = 0.20). Factors significantly associated with higher PCMC score were number of pregnancies (p = 0.015), ethnicity (p<0.001), presence of a companion at childbirth (p = 0.037); absence of labor stimulation (p = 0.019); delivery in non-supine position (p = 0.016); and skin-to-skin contact (p = 0.005). Study findings indicate evidence of poor-quality care across several domains of mistreatment in childbirth in Sri Lanka. In addition, patient satisfaction as an indicator of quality care is inadequate to inform health systems reform.

Abstract Background In Ethiopia, inappropriate feeding including prelacteal feeding is one of the immediate causes of undernutrition. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of prelacteal feeding practices among mothers of children aged less than one year in Rural Pastoralist Communities of Afar, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Afar Region, Ethiopia from May to June 2016. A total of 424 mothers were included in the study. A two-stage cluster sampling technique was used to select sample clusters and households. A pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the data. Model goodness of fitness was assessed using Hosmer and Lemeshow test. Multi-collinearity between independent variables was checked. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between the explanatory variables and prelacteal feeding practices. Multivariable logistic regression was also used to determine the independent predictors of prelacteal feeding practices. Result In this study, 75.7% (95% CI 71.1%, 79.7%) of mothers gave prelacteal feeds to their newborns. The odd of prelacteal feeding was 2.32 times higher in mothers whose husbands didn’t attend formal education as compared to their counterpart (AOR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.18-4.5). The odds of prelacteal feeding was 7 times higher for infants delivered at home compared to infants delivered at a health facility (AOR = 7.52, 95% CI:3.44, 16.45). Fail to have skin to skin contact between the mother and the newborn increases the odds of prelacteal feeding by 5 times than their counterparts (AOR=5.12, 95%CI: 2.14, 12.21). Conclusion Three-fourth of the children in Rural Pastoralist Communities of Afar received prelacteal feeding. Home delivery, husband education and skin to skin contact immediately after birth were found to be independent predictors of prelacteal feeding in the pastoralist communities. Strengthening the behavior change communication on optimal infant and young child feeding, promotion of husband education and institutional delivery and skin to skin contact immediately after birth are the recommendations.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of skin-to-skin contact (STSC) and breastfeeding (BF) stimulation, as well as the reasons for these practices not to be performed; to identify whether women were given information on these practices along the pre-natal monitoring. Method: A cross-sectional study carried out in a university hospital with 586 women. Data collection was from February to September 2016. Data was collected from patient records and from a questionnaire. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Immediately after birth, 60.1% of the newborns (NBs) had STSC, and 44.9% were stimulated to suck at the breast. After primary care, 24.1% had STSC, and 69.3% were stimulated to suck at the breast; 47.7% of the newborns did not have STSC due to their unfavorable clinical conditions; 79.2% of the women were not able to inform the reason why BF was not stimulated; 58.5% of the women had pre-natal guidance about STSC, and 90.8% about BF. Conclusion: Both STSC and BF rates could be improved, in view of the benefits provided by these practices.

Knowledge about mothers’ perceptions of the quality of Finnish maternity services is limited. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe mothers’ perceptions of the quality of Finnish maternity services, and to identify background factors associated with them. The data were collected from 1,760 mothers in autumn 2016. Descriptive statistics were used. This study is reported in accordance with STROBE. Most mothers (84%) considered the quality of the maternity services good. The mean response values for the quality of patient education (3.9), staff knowledge and skills (4.3), and hospital environment (4.3) were good. Parity and mode of childbirth were associated with perceptions of the quality of maternity services. Based on the results, development of midwifery and nursing practices should focus on sufficient pain relief, adequate duration of skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding counselling and opportunities for mothers to reflect on their birth experience afterwards. Moreover, the study results can be used for education. Challenges for future research are presented.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze skin-to-skin contact practice in full-term newborns after birth. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out in São Paulo-SP with 78 mother-child binomials. Data were obtained from medical records and by non-participant observation. Maternal, neonatal and care conditions, length of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding attachment were analyzed. Results: skin-to-skin contact was performed in 94.9% of births, with a mean length of 29 minutes. Births with intact perineum took longer, neonates with Apgar 10, without upper airway aspiration, assisted by a nurse-midwife and with neonatal assistance by a resident in pediatrics. The variables that favor breastfeeding attachment were perineal integrity, newborn with good vitality, without upper airway aspiration and who received professional assistance for breastfeeding attachment. Conclusion: skin-to-skin contact was performed in almost all births, but with less time than recommended as best practice.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the occurrence of skin-to-skin contact and the early initiation of breastfeeding in a Baby-friendly hospital in northeastern Brazil. Method: cross-sectional study, composed of pregnant women, in which delivery occurred at the Baby-friendly Hospital. Data were collected between April 2017 and May 2019 through forms containing sociodemographic variables, obstetric history and data on the delivery and birth of the newborn. The possible associated factors were analyzed through the chi-square test, adopting the significance level of 0.05. Result: among the 727 pregnant women, skin-to-skin contact occurred in 83.6% and breastfeeding in 58.3%. Full-term birth, birth weight ≥ 2500g, Apgar index >7 in the first minute, vaginal delivery, 6 or more prenatal consultations and years of study >9 were the factors associated with the practice of skin-to-skin contact. Regarding breastfeeding, in addition to the first five factors related to skin-to-skin contact, a statistical relationship with the beginning of prenatal care in the first trimester, skin-to-skin contact and multiparity was also evidenced. Conclusions: this study found a prevalence rate of skin-to-skin contact appropriate to a Baby-friendly Hospital and a direct association of this practice with breastfeeding.
