abstract: 'Background: Community health workers (CHWs) have been employed in a
|
||||
|
||||
number of low-and middle-income countries as part of primary health care
|
||||
|
||||
strategies, but the packages vary across and even within countries. The
|
||||
|
||||
experiences and motivations of a multipurpose CHW in providing maternal
|
||||
|
||||
and newborn health have not been well described.
|
||||
|
||||
Objective: This study examined the perceptions of community members and
|
||||
|
||||
experiences of CHWs around promoting maternal and newborn care
|
||||
|
||||
practices, and the self-identified factors that influence the
|
||||
|
||||
performance of CHWs so as to inform future study design and programme
|
||||
|
||||
implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
Design: Data were collected using in-depth interviews with six local
|
||||
|
||||
council leaders, ten health workers/CHW supervisors, and eight mothers.
|
||||
|
||||
We conducted four focus group discussions with CHWs. Respondents
|
||||
|
||||
included 14 urban and 18 rural CHWs. Key themes explored included the
|
||||
|
||||
experience of CHWs according to their various roles, and the
|
||||
|
||||
facilitators and barriers they encounter in their work particular to
|
||||
|
||||
provision of maternal and newborn care. Qualitative data were analysed
|
||||
|
||||
using manifest content analysis methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: CHWs were highly appreciated in the community and seen as
|
||||
|
||||
important contributors to maternal and newborn health at grassroots
|
||||
|
||||
level. Factors that positively influence CHWs included being selected by
|
||||
|
||||
and trained in the community; being trained in problem-solving skills;
|
||||
|
||||
being deployed immediately after training with participation of local
|
||||
|
||||
leaders; frequent supervision; and having a strengthened and responsive
|
||||
|
||||
supply of services to which families can be referred. CHWs made use of
|
||||
|
||||
social networks to identify pregnant and newly delivered women, and were
|
||||
|
||||
able to target men and the wider family during health education
|
||||
|
||||
activities. Intrinsic motivators (e.g. community appreciation and the
|
||||
|
||||
prestige of being `a doctor''), monetary (such as a small transport
|
||||
|
||||
allowance), and material incentives (e.g. bicycles, bags) were also
|
||||
|
||||
important to varying degrees.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: There is a continued role for CHWs in improving maternal
|
||||
|
||||
and newborn care and linking families with health services. However, the
|
||||
|
||||
process for building CHW programmes needs to be adapted to the local
|
||||
|
||||
setting, including the process of training, deployment, supervision, and
|
||||
|
||||
motivation within the context of a responsive and available health
|
||||
|
||||
system.'
