Reducing maternal mortality continues to be a major challenge for African countries. We conducted a literature review to identify the factors associated with the utilization of maternal and child healthcare services during the postpartum period and the strategies for strengthening postpartum healthcare in Africa. We carried out an electronic search in several databases of texts published between 1995 and 2012 related to maternal and child health. Seventyfive publications fitted the eligibility criteria. Our analysis shows that to a large extent the socio-economic context was dominant among the factors associated with the quality and utilization of postpartum services. The best interventions were those on immediate postpartum maternal care combining several intervention packages such as community mobilization and provision of services, community outreach services and health training. The integration within health facilities of mother and child clinics was shown to contribute signifiHealthcantly to improving the frequency of mothers’ postpartum visits.

Abstract : Maternal And Child Health-Book, Women's Knowledge, Postnatal Visit. In 2015, the national coverage of postnatal visit only reached 87.06% of the target 95%. The mother’s and child’s health book (MCH book) contains comprehensive medical records and information, including postpartum care. If the KIA's book material is read and understood by the mother, her knowledge will increasing, so we can expect her to be willing to do the postpartum visit according to the government’s program. This research aimed to learn about the correlation between postnatal woman’s knowledge on postnatal services and her postnatal visit regularity. Design used was correlational study with cross sectional approach. The population was all post-natal women who have MCH book at a private midwife practice in May - June 2017 of total 35 women. Samples taken by simple random technique. Data collection tool used was questionnaire and MCH book. The result showed that a small amount of respondents with good knowledge about postnatal care (28,1%) done postpartum visit in accordance with the government’s program. Women with less knowledge level (18,8%), few of them (3.1%) made postnatal visits in accordance with the program. Chi-square analysis obtained ρ value (0.001) that means less than a (0,05), so the null hypothesis rejected. Hence, there was correlation between postnatal woman’s knowledge on postnatal services and her postnatal visit regularity. The results of the study said that most of the well-informed women about postnatal services will do postpartum visits according to government programs. Postpartum women need to be motivated to read postpartum care materials in maternal and child health-book.

And Child Health

Despite high rates of breastfeeding initiation in Australia, there is a significant drop in breastfeeding rates in the early postpartum period, and Australian government breastfeeding targets are not being met. The Supporting breastfeeding In Local Communities (SILC) trial was a three-arm cluster randomised trial implemented in 10 Victorian local government areas (LGAs). It aimed to determine whether early home-based breastfeeding support by a maternal and child health nurse (MCH nurse) with or without access to a community-based breastfeeding drop-in centre increased the proportion of infants receiving ‘any’ breast milk at four months. Focus groups, a written questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were undertaken to explore the interventions from the perspective of the SILC-MCH nurses (n=13) and coordinators (n=6), who established and implemented the interventions. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify themes, then findings further examined using Diffusion of Innovations Theory as a framework. SILC-MCH nurses and coordinators reported high levels of satisfaction, valuing the opportunity to improve breastfeeding in our community; and having focused breastfeeding time with women in their own homes. They felt the SILC interventions offered benefits to women, nurses and the MCH service. Implementing new interventions into existing, complex community health services presented unforeseen challenges, which were different in each LGA and were in part due to the complexity of the individual LGAs and not the interventions themselves. These findings will help inform the planning and development of future programs aimed at improving breastfeeding and other interventions in MCH.
