Many maternal deaths occur within hospitals often due to a lack of access to basic emergency obstetric care (Emoc). Aim: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a community-based pregnant women initiative to support emergency obstetric care in a Kimpese Health Zone (HZ). Setting: Kimpese Health Zone, Province of Central Kongo, in the South Western of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Results: Four hundred and thirty-five women were received for Emoc between January 2008 and June 2011, 75% were aged between 18 - 34 years old. Mechanical dystocia was the first cause of emergencies (34%). The diagnosis concordance between the transfers and the reasons for the transfer was weak and not statistically significant (Kappa = 0.350, p = 0.405). After the évaluation of the newborns, a favorable outcome was noted after the 10<sup>th</sup> day of de follow-up (95.4%). In multivariate analysis, the lack of ANC visits, the waiting time > 1 hour before the visit at the referral hospital, and assisted birth were the factors associated with the unfavorable obstetric outcomes. Conclusion: Improvement in maternal health involves better preparation of the community and the healthcare system for Emergency Obstetric Care. Research is needed for innovative and effective interventions in resource constraints settings.展开更多
目的:编制适用于农村地区孕产妇的母婴健康素养(maternal and infant health literacy,MIHL)问卷,并在广西灵山县进行应用,为广西壮族自治区农村乃至更广泛的我国农村地区开展有指向性的妇幼健康保健工作提供测评工具和科学依据。方法:...目的:编制适用于农村地区孕产妇的母婴健康素养(maternal and infant health literacy,MIHL)问卷,并在广西灵山县进行应用,为广西壮族自治区农村乃至更广泛的我国农村地区开展有指向性的妇幼健康保健工作提供测评工具和科学依据。方法:通过文献检索和专家讨论,建立MIHL框架体系,并初步确定条目清单,采用德尔菲法确定问卷核心条目。于2022年10月—2023年9月将该问卷应用于灵山县妇幼保健院就诊的1743名孕产妇,同时收集孕产妇的基本信息;采用Cron⁃bach’s α系数和验证性因子分析进行问卷的信效度检验,采用χ^(2)检验对不同组别间MIHL水平进行单因素分析,采用多元logistic回归分析MIHL的影响因素。结果:问卷共包含24个条目,总问卷Cronbach’s α系数为0.719;验证性因子分析结果提示模型拟合良好。应用结果显示,灵山县孕产妇MIHL得分为46分,MIHL具备率为27.25%。多因素分析显示,孕产阶段、产次、文化程度、与配偶关系、与父母关系是MIHL的影响因素。结论:该研究编制的MIHL问卷在农村孕产妇中具备良好的信度和效度,使用该问卷测评得到的灵山县孕产妇MIHL水平较低,需加强健康教育的精准度和实效性,应重点关注孕期阶段、初产、文化程度低、与父母及配偶关系一般的群体。展开更多

Women’s federations from 16 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions throughout China formed a research group and conducted extensive studies in a variety of fields while cooperating with experts from sociology,展开更多
