Awareness Programme

Birth preparedness and complication readiness or BP/ CR of pregnant women enable maternal and newborn survival. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to know the effect of awareness programme on knowledge and practice regarding BP/ CR among pregnant women in Panchla Block, Howrah District , West Bengal. Using the Mother and Child tracking system register 72 mothers with gestational age ≥ 36 weeks selected randomly from 12 sub-centers. Intervention was done through individual and group instructions and data were collected before and after intervention. The intervention through awareness programme to the pregnant women significantly raised the awareness level regarding BP/ CR, as the mean score was higher in the intervention group regarding birth preparedness ((17.1 after intervention versus 13.5 before intervention, t value 12.73 with 35 df ,  p<0.05) and complication readiness (13.8 after intervention versus 6.1 before intervention, t value 25.31 with 35 df , p<0.05). However, there is no significant improvement in mean score in the control group regarding birth preparedness. There is also, strong positive association between knowledge and practice (chi-square value 16.99 with 1 df and p<0.01). Keyword: birth preparedness; complication readiness

Abstract Background: Nearly all of maternal deaths in the world occurred in sub-Saharan African countries. As Ethiopian demographic health survey report, there were 412 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016. Delays in decision to seek and receive care are the main causes of these deaths. Birth preparedness and complication readiness plan has been globally endorsed pivotal strategy to decrease these delays. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the level of practice and factors associated with practice of birth preparedness plan among pregnant women. Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was done among 356 pregnant women selected by simple random sampling technique from July 1-30/2017 in Debretabor town. We selected samples by simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using interview administered questionnaire. Then, we coded, cleaned and entered data through Epidata version 3.1. Finally, exported and analyzed by SPSS. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify association between explanatory variables and practice of birth preparedness and complication plan. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p-value less than 0.05 was computed to determine the level of significance in multi-variable logistic regression model.Results: Prevalence of birth preparedness and complication readiness plan was 73.9% in this study. primary education status (AOR=3.2,95%CI,1.3-7.8) and secondary educational status (AOR=4.1,95%CI,1.6-10.3), Primigravida (AOR=4.7,95%CI,1.9-11.3), partner involvement in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan (AOR=3.4,95%CI,1.9-6.1), initiating antenatal care in first trimester and media exposure (AOR=1.9,95%CI,1.0-3.3) were significantly associated factors with birth preparedness and complication readiness plan in this study. Conclusions: Level of practice of birth preparedness and complication readiness plan was high in the current study. Higher education status, early ante-natal care initiation, partner involvement in birth preparedness and exposure to media were the factors associated with practice of birth preparedness and complication readiness. Therefore, emphasize on continues education through media, design educational curriculum which should include birth preparedness plan, increase partner participation in birth preparedness and complication readiness plan. Furthermore, early initiation of antenatal care is mandatory.

Complication Readiness

Background. Maternal mortality remains unacceptably high in developing countries. One key strategy to reduce such mortality is utilization of birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) and creating awareness of BP/CR is an important step for pregnant women, their families, and the community. However, there was limited to no evidence regarding the community’s awareness on BP/CR in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge on BP/CR and associated factors among pregnant women in Debremarkos town, Northwest Ethiopia, 2017. Methods. A Community based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1 to 30/2017. A total of 441 pregnant women were included in the study. Structured and pretested questionnaire was administered through face to face interview to collect the data. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. The data were entered in to Epinfo version 7.0 and then exported to SPSS version 20.0 for analysis. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model were fitted. Crude and adjusted odds ratio with 95 % confidence interval have been computed and variables with p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significance. Results. The proportion of pregnant women having good knowledge on birth preparedness and complication readiness was found to be 45.2 with 95%CI (40.4, 50.0). In the multivariable analysis, having history of childbirth (AOR=2.17;95%CI:1.18,4.00), having intended pregnancy (AOR=2.13;95%CI: 1.16, 3.90), being governmental employee ( AOR=6.50; 95%CI: 2.50, 16.87), and having Antenatal care visits (AOR=5.50; 95%CI:2.2,13.70) were factors which were independently and significantly associated with good knowledge on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Conclusion. Proportion of pregnant women having good knowledge on birth preparedness and complication readiness was low. Putting emphasis on intended pregnancy and antenatal care visit was recommended.

Abstract Background Maternal mortality is attributed to combination of contextual factors that cause delay in seeking care, leading to poor utilization of skilled health services. Community participation is one of the acknowledged strategies to improve health services utilization amongst the poor and rural communities. The study aimed at assessing the potentials of improving birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) using community-driven behavioural change intervention among pregnant women in rural Nigeria. Methods A pre-post intervention study was conducted from June 2018 to October 2019 on 158 pregnant women selected through multi-stage sampling technique from 10 villages. Data on knowledge and practices of birth preparedness and utilization of facility health services were collected through interviewer-administered pre-tested structured questionnaire. Behavioural change intervention comprising of stakeholders’ engagement, health education, facilitation of emergency transport and fund saving system, and distribution of educational leaflets/posters were delivered by twenty trained volunteer community health workers. The intervention activities focused on sensitization on danger signs of pregnancy, birth preparedness and complication readiness practices and emergency response. Means, standard deviations, and percentages were calculated for descriptive statistics; and T-test and Chi square statistical tests were carried out to determine associations between variables. Statistical significance was set at p-value < 0.05 Results The result showed that after the intervention, mean knowledge score of danger signs of pregnancy increased by 0.37 from baseline value of 3.94 (p < 0.001), and BP/CR elements increased by 0.27 from baseline value of 4.00 (p < 0.001). Mean score for BP/CR practices increased significantly by 0.22 for saving money. The proportion that attended ANC (76.6%) and had facility delivery (60.0%) increased significantly by 8.2% and 8.3% respectively. Participation in Community-related BP/CR activities increased by 11.6% (p = 0.012). Conclusion With the improvements recorded in the community-participatory intervention, birth preparedness and complication readiness should be promoted through community, household and male-partner inclusive strategies. Further evaluation will be required to ascertain the sustainability and impact of the programme.
