abstract: 'Background: Maternal and newborn health care intervention coverage has
|
|
|
|
increased in many low-income countries over the last decade, yet poor
|
|
|
|
quality of care remains a challenge, limiting health gains. The World
|
|
|
|
Health Organization envisions community engagement as a critical
|
|
|
|
component of health care delivery systems to ensure quality services,
|
|
|
|
responsive to community needs. Aligned with this, a Participatory
|
|
|
|
Community Quality Improvement (PCQI) strategy was introduced in
|
|
|
|
Ethiopia, in 14 of 91 rural woredas (districts) where the Last Ten
|
|
|
|
Kilometers Project (L10 K) Platform activities were supporting national
|
|
|
|
Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) strengthening
|
|
|
|
strategies. This paper examines the effects of the PCQI strategy in
|
|
|
|
improving maternal and newborn care behaviors, and providers'' and
|
|
|
|
households'' practices.
|
|
|
|
Methods: PCQI engages communities in identifying barriers to access and
|
|
|
|
quality of services, and developing, implementing and monitoring
|
|
|
|
solutions. Thirty-four intervention kebeles (communities), which
|
|
|
|
included the L10 K Platform, BEmONC, and PCQI, and 82 comparison
|
|
|
|
kebeles, which included the L10 K Platform and BEmONC, were visited in
|
|
|
|
December 2010-January 2011 and again 48 months later. Twelve women with
|
|
|
|
children aged 0 to 11 months were interviewed in each kebele. Propensity
|
|
|
|
score matching was used to estimate the program''s average treatment
|
|
|
|
effects (ATEs) on women''s care seeking behavior, providers'' service
|
|
|
|
provision behavior and households'' newborn care practices.
|
|
|
|
Results: The ATEs of PCQI were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for
|
|
|
|
two care seeking behaviors - four or more antenatal care (ANC) visits
|
|
|
|
and institutional deliveries at 14\% (95\% CI: 6, 21) and 11\% (95\% CI:
|
|
|
|
4, 17), respectively - and one service provision behavior - complete ANC
|
|
|
|
at 17\% (95\% CI: 11, 24). We found no evidence of an effect on
|
|
|
|
remaining outcomes relating to household newborn care practices, and
|
|
|
|
postnatal care performed by the provider.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: National BEmONC strengthening and government initiatives to
|
|
|
|
improve access and quality of maternal and newborn health services,
|
|
|
|
together with L10 K Platform activities, appeared to work better for
|
|
|
|
some care practices where communities were engaged in the PCQI strategy.
|
|
|
|
Additional research with more robust measure of impact and
|
|
|
|
cost-effectiveness analysis would be useful to establish effectiveness
|
|
|
|
for a wider set of outcomes.'
