“…There is a possibility that postpartum women with no formal education did not have high expectations compared to their counterparts with some form of formal education. Our result is consistent with studies conducted in Kenya [ 27 ] and the Netherlands [ 28 ]. These studies found that women with a higher level of education rated their maternity care experiences to be unsatisfactory.…”

The authors of this paper are involved in a 5 years respectful maternity care (RMC) project at a tertiary healthcare facility in Kumasi, Ghana that seeks to change the culture of disrespect and abuse in maternity care practice, with a sub-objective of determining its impact on how midwives provide quality maternity care services in this healthcare facility. To achieve this objective, respectful maternity care must be conceptualized and measured. Our literature search revealed that a Ghanaian version tool that measures women's experiences of respectful maternity care is non-existent. Thus, this study aims to construct a scale that measures childbearing women's experiences of respectful maternity care during childbirth and the immediate postpartum period in the study setting. We surveyed 263 postpartum women with a draft scale we have developed. This scale had 42 questions that sought to measure postpartum women's experiences of respectful maternity care in a tertiary health facility in Kumasi. The scale development went through processes of exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and inter-item reliability tests. The EFA was done using SPSS-21. Through series of EFA, we have created a 23 items RMC scale (23i-RMC) with three main factors labelled as follows: Verbal abuse-free, Discriminatory-free and Dignified care (VADDC), Physical and Psychological Abuse-free care (PPAC), and Compassionate Care (CC). The Cronbach's Alpha of the 23i-RMC is 0.945 and those of the individual domains greater than the 0.70 minimum threshold, suggesting that there is greater reliability among the items in the scale and the subscales. This 23i-RMC scale is useful for assessing postpartum women's experiences of RMC in the study setting. We recommend the use and validation of the newly developed respectful maternity care scale in other healthcare facilities in Ghana.

Objective: to analyze opportunities for orientations to promote the care of premature infants during home visits and telephone support. Method: a qualitative study from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics conducted with 18 mothers of premature infants discharged from hospital. Hospital contact and interviews were carried out, 15 and 45 days after discharge and at the infants’ six months of life, with data analysis by interpretation of meanings from 25 home visits and 56 telephone support contacts. Results: the following two thematic units emerged: Needs for contact and guidance: the place for home visits and opportunities for resolving doubts by telephone support, indicating aspects that suggest weakening child health, discontinuity in follow-up and vulnerability in specialized follow-ups. Home visits and telephone support favored the concern of health needs, doubts about basic care and problem solving, as ways to prevent damage and promote child health. Conclusion: home visits and telephone support emerge as collaborative practices of care and detection of latent conditions, which can be reduced or interrupted with prompt return of guidance, suggesting opportune strategies to increase follow-up, linkage and access to the health services.
