Abstract

Introduction: Many changes that pregnant women experience affect them from different health perspectives, including quality of life. But many studies report mothers with high social support have better psychological states. This brings about the need for a pregnant woman to have an acceptable form of resilience. Objective: The study aimed to examine selected variables as predictors of perceived social support, quality of life, and resilience in pregnancy. Methods: The study was descriptive and adopted a cross-sectional design. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey 1.0 Questionnaire, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used for data collection. The population of the study was pregnant women attending antenatal care in the hospital. Systematic sampling was used in selecting the respondents of the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and presented as frequencies and percentages, and ordinal logistic regression was used to determine the predictive power of the study's independent variables. Results: Most respondents had poor and very-good perceived social support levels (27.2%), respectively. The majority (76.6%) of the respondents had poor quality of life, and 40.3% had outstanding resilience. Family socioeconomic status was the only variable significantly predicting the levels of perceived social support, P < 0.05. No variable significantly predicted the quality of life and resilience. Recommendation: To boost the social support received by pregnant women and to enhance the quality of life of pregnant women in developing countries, there is a need for the deep involvement of significant people in pregnant mothers' families from conception to delivery

Abstract

Background: The utilization of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) is one of the patient-level factors that are common in causing maternal mortality. The TBAs are deficient in the ability to identify or manage birth complications such as postpartum haemorrhage and birth asphyxia. However, training and retraining are given to TBAs without ascertaining their practice needs. The aim of the study was to explore the difficult situations the Traditional Birth Attendants encountered during their practice. Methods: The study employed a descriptive phenomenological research design. The population of the study consisted of TBAs currently practicing in Birnin Kebbi Metropolis. A purposive sampling strategy was employed to select twelve veterans TBAs for the study. An in-depth interview was used for data collection. One-on-one interviews were conducted by the researchers with each participant TBA. Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method was used for the analysis. four themes that emerged from this study conducted through in-depth interview. Results: The four themes that emerged from this study are difficulties in conducting labour, retained placenta, umbilical cord issues, and method of identifying abnormal labour. Conclusion: The identified difficulties encountered by TBAs are crucial. These are difficulties that could lead to serious maternal and neonatal health issues. Understanding these difficulties underscores the importance of training TBAs.
