Abstract:

Background: Women must be provided with necessary health services for a child's good health and future during pregnancy. Women's health has experienced a considerable epidemiological change during the past several decades. Maternal well-being and health affect not only the developed world but predominantly the developing nations. Differences in resource allocation between industrialized and developing countries ultimately led to notable differences in pregnancy complications and deaths. Aim: To investigate these barriers. A literature review was carried out to address this research topic. Methodology: Six online databases AMED, CINAHL PLUS, PUBMED, MEDLINE, COCHRANE LIBRARY and SCIENCE DIRECT were used for a preliminary search that yielded 6353 articles. No grey literature was discovered due to time restrictions. Seven publications were discovered to be eligible for inclusion in the literature review after carefully reading, analysing, and evaluating them with the help of critical appraisal techniques. After the initially searched articles were filtered using robust inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings: Data were taken from different sources like the Pakistan Demographic and Health Surveys (PDHSs), WHO, and a comparison was made with the findings from different factors. The analysis concentrates on women of Pakistan having maternal health issues and maternal health services. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) is used for the assessment and qualitative analysisof this study. Practical implications: By addressing the issues highlighted in this paper there appears to be substantial room for improvements in Pakistan’s pregnancy outcomes. This review provides a better understanding of the risk factors determining maternal mortality in Pakistan.Public awareness is important as this paper almost covered the different platforms which are working on maternal health servicesto aware the society. To promote maternal health messages and encourage pregnant women to receive maternal healthcare services, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and health organizations can adopt a variety of campaigns. Results: This study discussed the impact of different factorswhich effect on maternal health. Different factors are associated with utilizing maternal healthcare services at antenatal care and delivery stages of pregnancy in Pakistan. This review concentrated on the economic and social vulnerability of pregnant women and emphasized the importance of parallel, more all-encompassing initiatives, like poverty reduction and women's empowerment. Poor maternal health in Pakistan has many root causes, including undernourishment of young girls, early marriage, high fertility rates, and unmet contraceptive needs. Conclusion: The key factors influencing women's hesitation and refusal to use the health facilities in Pakistan include structural hurdles, maternal knowledge and education levels, and men's dominance in decision-making, according to the themes drawn from the literature.

Abstract:

Introduction: Maternal health service (MHS) is a set of services related to maternity health care. These health services cause a serious concern worldwide. Furthermore, MHS incorporates antenatal care, delivery care and postnatal health service. The aim of this study was to assess Mother-to-Child utilization for MHS at Juba Teaching Hospital (JTH) South Sudan. Methods: A cross-sectional research study was done among 207 women of reproductive age at the time of visits to routine immunization services for receiving free under-five immunization. The interviewers gathered data using the structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics v20. The frequency tables were for describing data and chi-square test and logistic regression were used to determine whether there was statistical association of sociodemographic factors with MHS. Results: Of 207 mothers, 188 (91%) utilized the maternal health. Nearly 20% did not give birth at health facility. Furthermore, there was a significant association of education attainment with place of delivery [OR at 95%CI = 3.06 (1.40 – 6.71), p-value = 0.005] Conclusion: Maternal healthcare services were highly utilized as compared to others in the regions. Moreover, the Level of formal education found to be associated with effective maternity care. An estimated of 20% from women reported delivered at non-health facilities. Therefore, the study recommended specific attention to non-compliance mothers through reinforcement of active health education on safe reproductive and maternal childcare.

Abstract:

Most causes of maternal morbidity and mortality can be prevented by giving prompt, suitable treatment to the women by qualified health practitioners. Maternal health services (MHS), which include antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care, can play a crucial role in preventing maternal health problems. The recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a disastrous effect on the health care delivery system of people of all ages, on a global scale but pregnant women face particular challenges. The aim of this review is to assess the effect of COVID-19 on access to MHS. For writing this narrative review, national and international reports on maternal health services during COVID-19, along with journal articles on the related topic were reviewed. Due to this pandemic, women worldwide are facing more barriers to accessing maternal health care, including restrictions, transport challenges, and anxiety over possibly being exposed to coronavirus. Many women preferred not to seek healthcare due to the fear of themselves being infected with the virus or transmitting it to their unborn babies. Additionally, movement restriction has made it difficult for many pregnant women to reach health care facilities. Even those who managed to reach health facilities have reported not receiving timely care. As a result, a considerable rise in maternal mortality globally has been estimated over the next six months. Despite the circumstances, efforts have been made to boost maternal health in both developed and developing countries. This pandemic has highlighted the importance of health preparedness with special attention given to vulnerable people like pregnant women and newborns while planning for such events.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction: The utilization of the maternal and newborn health services has increased, but mere increase in utilization of services does not ensure that quality services are being provided. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of maternal and newborn services and their impact on maternal and neonatal outcome at a primary health center of Western Rajasthan in India. Materials and Methods: An exploratory study was undertaken at a conveniently selected primary health center providing 24-hour delivery services. Information regarding the availability of services was collected from the available medical officer in charge using an Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) Proforma. Assessment of quality of services was performed by using WHO standards of care based on assessment of quality of maternal and newborn services tool by the perspectives of the provider as well as the mothers utilizing the services. 36 mothers who delivered at the selected PHC were interviewed. Results: All basic obstetric care services were available at the selected primary health centers including the 24 × 7 delivery services. The assessment of quality by provider’s perspective revealed that the system of referral could be improved. Quality of maternal and newborn services assessment revealed that the practice of skin to skin contact between the mother and newborn just after the delivery was not being followed and few (30%) mothers informed that they could not start breastfeeding within 1 hours of birth. 47% mothers reported that they were not given the freedom to ask questions during delivery. Maternal and newborn outcome revealed that all mothers (100%) had a normal vaginal delivery, and 22% mothers had an episiotomy. All (100%) newborns cried immediately after birth, and average birthweight was 2.89 kg. Conclusion: PHCs are the first point of contact of mothers and healthcare delivery system. Assessment of quality of services is an important tool for quality assurance. Inclusion of evidence-based practices like skin-to-skin contact and early initiation of breastfeeding is important to improve the maternal and newborn well-being.

Abstract:

While contraception prescribing by pharmacists has seen rapid growth in recent years, pharmacist-provided services that can impact maternal health encompass more than just contraception. Each phase of maternal health—preconception, pregnancy, and post-pregnancy—has unique needs, and pharmacists are well equipped to provide services to meet those needs and are more accessible than other healthcare providers. While pharmacist-provided maternal health services may lead to significant savings to the healthcare system, additional research to more fully capture the value of pharmacist-provided maternal health services is needed. Robust implementation of a pharmacist-provided maternal health services program will require partnerships between providers, payers, and pharmacists. Infant and maternal mortality, preterm birth, and unintended pregnancies are significant public health issues, and pharmacists should be seen as a capable workforce who can provide needed maternal health care and serve as a gateway into the healthcare system for those capable of pregnancy.

Abstract:

Health of children and their mothers is a vital aspect of a society's longterm development. Unfortunately, around half of all mothers and over 10 million children die due to preventable causes. Data from a current National Family Health survey (NFHS) was utilized and compared with the previous data of the surveys conducted at national level. The maternal mortality ratio in India has decreased to 113 per 100,000 live births, according to a report released by the WHO. Only 51.6% women reported three or more ANC visits where anaemia is still found among 35.4% women. Although 88% of women delivered in a health facility whereas only 5 7.5 % mothers received postnatal care within two months. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Uttar Pradesh is remains high due to a lack of utilisation of available maternal and child health services, putting the health of mother and children at risk. Hence, to improve the health status, evidence-based policies with grass root level programme planning are required.

Abstract:

Purpose Despite the high prevalence of immigrant women at the national level, studies on migration have been indifferent to the gender perspective. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the engagement of Ukrainian immigrant women, one of the most expressive nationalities of female immigration in Portugal, on maternal and child healthcare services, exploring their perceptions and experiences in these contexts. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of critical and social constructionism assumptions, this research focusses on discourse. Assuming that immigrant women have access to different resources, as well as different competences to interpret and intervene within the context they are in (Topa et al., 2010; UNFPA, 2006), the best method to deeply understand their experiences was to analyse how discourse is organized and how it creates and produces meanings that become practices (Nogueira, 2001a). The present study adopted a qualitative methodology for collecting (semi-structured interviews) and analysing the data (thematic analysis) and was based on discourses of ten Ukrainian women, living in the metropolitan area of Oporto, who were pregnant or were mothers in Portugal. Findings Ukrainian women were misinformed about their legal rights and free access to maternal health services. Some dissatisfaction emerges among them with regard to the quality of information provided by health professionals and their communication skills. Their opinion is that they are given limited access to medical specialties, especially in primary care and that their doubts are inappropriately clarified during medical appointments. Originality/value This research also argues that cultural and intersectional considerations are fundamental to promote inclusive health policies for immigrants.

Abstract:

Maternal death is an indicator of quality and efficiency of reproductive health services and is regarded as a composite measure of the country’s progress. Reduction in maternal mortality is one of the eight globally accepted Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To achieve the goal of 109, by 2015, the developing world needs to take challenge where the burden of maternal mortality is 99 per cent. This study attempts to understand the strength of relationship of the correlates of maternal mortality with actual maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to come out with policy implications to lessen maternal deaths. Based on the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-3 data on maternal health indicators and sample registration systems (SRS) estimates of maternal mortality, the relationships are explored. Maternal deaths would significantly reduce when fertility declines, that is, when contraception increases, when status of women enhances, they are sufficiently fed to have normal body mass index (BMI) and have awareness of reproductive health issues. The most prominent correlate is utilization of reproductive health care services. When all antenatal, natal and postnatal services are utilized to a large extent, maternal deaths would diminish significantly. Effective implementation of services is a key to trim down maternal mortality.

Abstract:

Women suffer significant morbidity following childbirth and there is a lack of focussed, primary maternal health care to support them. Victorian Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nurses are ideally suited to provide additional care for women when caring for the family with a new baby. With additional training and support, MCH nurses could better fill this health demand and practice gap. This discussion paper reviews what we know about maternal morbidity, current postnatal services for women and the maternal healthcare gap, and makes recommendations for enhancing MCH nursing practice to address this deficit.

SummaryWith the objective of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, the Safe Motherhood Program was implemented in Nepal in 1997. It was launched as a priority programme during the ninth five-year plan period, 1997–2002, with the aim of increasing women’s access to health care and raising their status. This paper examines the association of access to health services and women’s status with utilization of prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care during the plan period. The 1996 Nepal Family Health Survey and the 2001 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey data were pooled and the likelihood of women’s using maternal health care was examined in 2001 in comparison with 1996. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicates that the utilization of maternal health services increased over the period. Programme interventions such as outreach worker’s visits, radio programmes on maternal health, maternal health information disseminated through various mass media sources and raising women’s status through education were able to explain the observed change in utilization. Health worker visits and educational status of women showed a large association, but radio programmes and other mass media information were only partially successful in increasing use of maternal health services. Socioeconomic and demographic variables such as household economic status, number of living children and place of residence showed stronger association with use of maternal health services then did intervention programmes.

Abstract:

The quality of care a woman experience during the prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum period has a direct impact on her health and the health of her child, and it might also affect her decision to seek care in the future. This study evaluated the quality of maternal health services in selected primary health centers in Rivers State. The study design was cross-sectional study design. Multistage sampling was used to select seven Primary health centers (PHCs) while simple random sampling was used to select 384 post-natal mothers across the selected PHCs. Self-administered questionnaire and checklist were used to assess the postnatal mothers and primary health centers respectively. The questionnaire collected data on socio-demographic variables, levels of satisfaction and factors influencing the quality of maternal health services while the checklist collected data on the extent to which the facilities have the capacity to support quality maternal health services. Three hundred and forty-one questionnaires and the entire checklist used for the survey were retrieved. SPSS V22 was used in the analytical process and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that 40.2% of the postnatal mothers were within age 26-33 years, 54.8% had secondary school as their highest educational level and 85% were married. Majority of the mothers were satisfied with the maternal healthcare services in PHCs in Rivers State, mean was 102.24±11.68; the perceived factors influencing the quality of maternal health services in PHCs in Rivers State include, healthcare delivery (96.2%), adequate human and material resources (94.1%), staff conduct and practice (86.2%) and physical facilities (84.5%); although PHCs with facilities that are available and in good condition were 85.7% they are not fully equipped to support quality basic obstetric emergency care.

Abstract:

This study attempts to analyze the trend in maternal health care utilization: antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care in Nepal. Maternal health remains a major challenge in developing countries despite improvements in medical technology and several efforts to improve maternal health care services. This study is based on Nepal Demographic and Health Survey data from 2006, 2011, and 2016. It covers 4,066 women in 2006, 4,148 in 2011 and 3,998 in 2016 for antenatal care. In the study, this analysis is confined to women aged (15-49) who had a live birth in the five years preceding the survey. Data on delivery care were obtained for all births that occurred in the five or two years preceding the survey. This study comprises 2030 women in 2011 and 1,978 women in 2016 aged 15–49 years who had a live birth in the two years preceding the survey on childbirth, and postnatal care. Especially, the study deals with antenatal, delivery care, and postnatal care. There is a substantial increase in the utilization of antenatal care (ANC) by skilled health providers from, 44 percent in 2006 to 84 percent in 2016 respectively. Still, six percent percentage do not seek even one-time ANC care and the percentage of women who seek 4 or more ANC care from a skilled service provider is low. Still, two fifth percent of delivery take place at home. postnatal service is still very low in Nepal. This study’s results suggest the need for efforts to be addressed to improve the use of maternal health care services in Nepal. There is a need to increase the use of postnatal checkup as well as delivery assisted by skilled attendants.
