“…The goal of birth planning is to encourage the timely use of skilled mother and newborn health care (Debelie et al, 2021). Another study revealed that there are several ways to prepare for labor, including becoming aware of the danger signs of pregnancy, using government-provided transportation services, receiving financial aid through a government program, finding skilled birth attendants, choosing transportation options, choosing delivery locations, and making arrangements for emergency blood donations (Hailu et al, 2011;Akshaya and Shivalli, 2017;Shukla et al, 2019).…”

A category of people who are susceptible to COVID-19 infection is pregnant women. The safety of the mother and fetus can be determined in large part by how prepared pregnant women are to give birth. Pregnant women who are mentally and physically prepared for childbirth can have a healthy delivery that includes the removal of the baby, placenta, and membranes. The purpose of this study is to investigate how prepared expectant mothers felt for childbirth during the COVID-19 epidemic. This study employs a qualitative methodology and phenomenology. In this study, 11 informants participated. Face-to-face interviews and semi-structured video were employed in the data collection process. According to the study's findings, there were five key elements in pregnant women's preparedness for childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) worry about COVID-19 exposure, 2) keeping healthy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, 3) adhering to our ancestors' culture, 4) preparing for a safe and comfortable delivery, and 5) receiving the best medical facility services. Pregnant women must maintain their health and carefully arrange their deliveries. Health facilities are crucial in assisting expectant mothers with labor preparation, particularly during the pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth may be employed as a substitute method of reaching pregnant women.

The integration of modern technology in healthcare education, mainly through digital media platforms, is pivotal for enhancing healthcare professionals' proficiency in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR). This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital media interventions on BP/CR knowledge among healthcare providers, reflecting on broader implications for global healthcare delivery and patient education. In this quasi-experimental study, 70 healthcare professionals were recruited using a nonprobability convenience sampling method. The training protocol was developed after an in-depth literature review, while the evaluation questionnaire incorporated provider-level index indicators aligned with Johns Hopkins University's BP/CR guidelines to ensure a comprehensive assessment framework. The intervention utilized widely accessible digital platforms, i.e., WhatsApp and email, aimed to deliver educational content, with its effectiveness gauged through pre- and postintervention assessments analyzed using SPSS 25.00. The study findings demonstrated significant improvements in BP/CR knowledge postintervention across various care domains. The results showed significant increases in BP/CR knowledge postintervention: focused antenatal care knowledge improved from 34.00% to 69.00% (p < 0.001), and knowledge of third-stage labor management increased from 21.00% to 56.00% (p < 0.001). Furthermore, significant improvements were also observed in neonatal care and emergency obstetric and neonatal care management knowledge (p < 0.001). These results affirm the role of digital media in improving healthcare education, suggesting its integration into healthcare policies to reduce maternal mortality and support professionals in resource-limited settings.

BackgroundBirth preparedness and complications readiness (BP/CR) is an effective strategy to reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality.AimTo assess the effect of educational interventions on women’s knowledge and attitude regarding BP/CR in southwest Nigeria.MethodsA quasi-experimental study was carried out over 1 year (May 2019–April 2020) in Lagos, southwest Nigeria. Intervention was delivered using multiple educational methods: health education sessions, information, education, and communication materials, and mHealth. A total of 2600 women were recruited by multistage sampling. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires and analysed with Epi Info and SPSS V.25 software. Summary and inferential statistics were done involving four-way analysis. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Regression analysis applied to intervention group (IG). A 50% cut-off was used to categorise respondents into adequate and inadequate knowledge of BP/CR.ResultsMean age of the respondents: 31.2±5.4 years for the IG, 30.4±6.0 years for the control group (CG); p=0.007. Most women in both groups had formal education, were employed and had their last antenatal care in health facilities. At baseline, both groups had overall inadequate knowledge of BP/CR which improved significantly post intervention only in the IG. For the IG: 9.4% (pre), 52% (post), (p<0.001); CG: 0.2% (pre), 0.5% (post), (Fisher’s exact p=0.624). Most respondents in both groups had a positive attitude to BP/CR, the intervention had no significant influence on this in the IG (p=0.504).Predictors of adequate knowledge of BP/CR included being of Yoruba tribe, (adjusted OR (AOR) 2.83, 95% CI 1.06 to 7.54), being employed, (AOR 1.31; 95% CI 1.04 to 5.87) and having a baby 6 months prior to the study (AOR 2.62; 95% CI 1.31 to 5.24).ConclusionFindings have implications for the design and implementation of relevant policy and community interventions to reduce maternal mortality. Further research can examine the role of financial exclusion in inadequate knowledge.
