Abstract

Background: The midwifery continuity of care is gaining more attention, and the WHO recommends the use of its models to provide antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care in a setting where effective midwifery programme exists. However, in many countries, implementation of continuity of care model has been challenging for midwives.Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the potentiality of midwives adherence to midwifery continuity of care as a new model of care.Method: The research is descriptive that adopted cross-sectional design. The population of the study was the midwives serving in antenatal clinic (ANC), maternity and labour units. The instrument for data collection was researcher made, self-administered questionnaire. Census sampling was used in taking the entire midwives of the units as the subjects of the study. The results of the study were presented in frequencies and percentages, with Chi-square as a statistical tool for inferential analysis.Results: Generally, 46.3% of the respondents were having good potentiality, 44.8% were having poor potentiality, and only 9.0% were having very good potentiality. 56.7% of the respondents with 0-5 years of experience were having poor potentiality, in contrast with 27.3% in respondents with >15 years of experience. 34.6% and 53.7% of the respondents that were midwives and those that were nurse-midwives in specialty respectively were having good potentiality to MCC adherence. There is no significant association between respondents’ years of experience and their potentiality to MCC adherence, P > 0.05. There is no significant association between respondents’ specialty and their potentiality to MCC adherence, P > 0.05.Conclusion: The respondents of this study had a moderate potentiality to MCC adherence. The possibility of midwives adherence to MCC can be improved if it is introduced into the system with some modifications and flexibilities; and when the midwives realise its positive impact on maternal and new-born health.

Abstract

Background: The need to act against stress required effective coping strategies for students to cope with academic activities. However, the degree of stress and type of coping style differ between nursing students; and assessing the nursing program’s level of stress for intervention planning is recommended to nurse educators.Purpose: To examine the differences in academic stress and stress coping style by characteristics of nursing undergraduates.Method: The descriptive study adopted a cross-sectional design with undergraduate nursing students as the population of the study. Census sampling was used, and the academic stress inventory and the stress coping style inventory were the instruments for data collection. The results were presented in means and standard deviations, and ANOVA was used for inferential analysis.Results: There was a significant difference in peer stress across the age brackets, (p = 0.004). The male respondents have lower mean academic stress than female respondents except for peer stress. There was a significant difference between the mean academic stress between the two genders in teacher stress and peer stress, p = 0.02 and 0.04 respectively. The mean academic stress is higher at 300 and 400 levels except in studying in groups stress. Active problem coping is having the highest mean score across all age brackets. There is no significant difference in stress coping style across all the factors. Male respondents have higher mean stress coping style than female respondents in active emotional coping and active problem coping with a significant difference, p = 0.011 and 0.045 respectively. The 500-level respondents have the highest mean stress coping style across all the factors than respondents from other levels.Conclusion: In planning interventions against academic stress for undergraduate nursing students, preference for test stress should be given to lower age brackets. Female students require more attention than male students. The 300 and 400-level students should be considered more than the other levels. Moreover, different methods of coping, where to apply them and the consequences of each should be taught to students irrespective of their age, gender, or level of study.

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.
