Mono-Professional Simulation-Based Obstetric Training in a Low-Resource Setting: Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

Mono-Professional Simulation-Based Obstetric Training in a Low-Resource Setting: Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

Key barriers for providing safe childbirth include shortcomings in the management of emergency obstetric care, delays in referral practices, and insufficient coordination among health care staff, all of which obstruct the provision of adequate emergency obstetric care [2]. To address these challenges, simulation-based training for emergency obstetric care has evolved as a promising approach in sub-Saharan Africa.

Experiences of Birth Attendants on Upward Obstetric Emergency Referrals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Experiences of Birth Attendants on Upward Obstetric Emergency Referrals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Understanding stakeholders’ perceptions and navigation of the referral process can help identify gaps in service delivery, such as limited access to emergency obstetric care facilities or communication challenges between health care providers and pregnant women. Addressing these challenges can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of obstetric referral systems, ensuring timely access to needed care for women.

User-Centered Design of an Electronic Dashboard for Monitoring Facility-Level Basic Emergency Obstetric Care Readiness in Amhara, Ethiopia: Mixed Methods Study

User-Centered Design of an Electronic Dashboard for Monitoring Facility-Level Basic Emergency Obstetric Care Readiness in Amhara, Ethiopia: Mixed Methods Study

Despite progress in reducing adverse maternal outcomes in countries like Ethiopia, high maternal mortality ratios persist, largely due to gaps and stockouts of essential supplies for managing obstetric emergencies [2,3]. Inadequate supplies for basic emergency obstetric care (BEm OC) can lead to delayed or suboptimal care.

Using Large Language Models to Abstract Complex Social Determinants of Health From Original and Deidentified Medical Notes: Development and Validation Study

Using Large Language Models to Abstract Complex Social Determinants of Health From Original and Deidentified Medical Notes: Development and Validation Study

The most commonly flagged note types were assessments, plan of care, obstetric triage, history and physical, consults, discharge summary, and ED notes, indicating that these types of notes are most likely to provide relevant information related to housing or housing instability (Table S4 in Multimedia Appendix 1). We selected the 539 most recent notes from 355 patients for manual abstraction. Demographic characteristics of the 355 patients can be found in Table S5 in Multimedia Appendix 1.

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

A cross-sectional study was conducted among the recruited 32 pregnant women aged 20 years or older at 22-29 weeks of gestation with stable hemodynamics in the Obstetric Outpatient Department of Kyushu University Hospital. The study was conducted between July and September 2019. Mothers with obvious fetal morphological abnormalities or maternal complications were excluded from recruitment.

Intention to Use Mobile-Based Partograph and Its Predictors Among Obstetric Health Care Providers Working at Public Referral Hospitals in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia in 2022: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Intention to Use Mobile-Based Partograph and Its Predictors Among Obstetric Health Care Providers Working at Public Referral Hospitals in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia in 2022: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Hypothesis 2: Perceived usefulness will have a positive effect on obstetric health care providers’ attitudes toward mobile-based partographs. Hypothesis 3: Perceived ease of use will have a positive effect on obstetric health care providers’ attitudes toward mobile-based partographs. Hypothesis 4: Perceived ease of use will have a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of mobile-based partographs.

Use of Electronic Patient Messaging by Pregnant Patients Receiving Prenatal Care at an Academic Health System: Retrospective Cohort Study

Use of Electronic Patient Messaging by Pregnant Patients Receiving Prenatal Care at an Academic Health System: Retrospective Cohort Study

Additionally, pilot studies analyzing portal use in obstetric populations have suggested that portals can be a useful tool for management of complex medical comorbidities. A study evaluating portal use and glucose control in an obstetric population found that patients who were active portal users were less likely to have within-goal glycemic control, suggesting that pregnant patients with suboptimal glycemic control may have been more readily engaged in secure messaging with providers [16].
