abstract: 'Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal
|
|
|
|
mortality in low-income countries, and is the most common direct cause
|
|
|
|
of maternal deaths in Madagascar. Studies in Madagascar and other
|
|
|
|
low-income countries observe low provider adherence to recommended
|
|
|
|
practices for PPH prevention and treatment. Our study addresses gaps in
|
|
|
|
the literature by applying a behavioral science lens to identify
|
|
|
|
barriers inhibiting facility-based providers'' consistent following of
|
|
|
|
PPH best practices in Madagascar. Methods In June 2019, we undertook a
|
|
|
|
cross-sectional qualitative research study in peri-urban and rural areas
|
|
|
|
of the Vatovavy-Fitovinany region of Madagascar. We conducted 47
|
|
|
|
in-depth interviews in 19 facilities and five communities, with
|
|
|
|
facility-based healthcare providers, postpartum women, medical
|
|
|
|
supervisors, community health volunteers, and traditional birth
|
|
|
|
attendants, and conducted thematic analysis of the transcripts. Results
|
|
|
|
We identified seven key behavioral insights representing a range of
|
|
|
|
factors that may contribute to delays in appropriate PPH management in
|
|
|
|
these settings. Findings suggest providers'' perceived low risk of PPH
|
|
|
|
may influence their compliance with best practices, subconsciously or
|
|
|
|
explicitly, and lead them to undervalue the importance of PPH prevention
|
|
|
|
and monitoring measures. Providers lack clear feedback on specific
|
|
|
|
components of their performance, which ultimately inhibits continuous
|
|
|
|
improvement of compliance with best practices. Providers demonstrate
|
|
|
|
great resourcefulness while operating in a challenging context with
|
|
|
|
limited equipment, supplies, and support; however, overcoming these
|
|
|
|
challenges remains their foremost concern. This response to chronic
|
|
|
|
scarcity is cognitively taxing and may ultimately affect clinical
|
|
|
|
decision-making. Conclusions Our study reveals how perception of low
|
|
|
|
risk of PPH, limited feedback on compliance with best practices and
|
|
|
|
consequences of current practices, and a context of scarcity may
|
|
|
|
negatively affect provider decision-making and clinical practices.
|
|
|
|
Behaviorally informed interventions, designed for specific contexts that
|
|
|
|
care providers operate in, can help improve quality of care and health
|
|
|
|
outcomes for women in labor and childbirth.'
