Experiences of the quality of care of women with near‐miss maternal morbidities in the UK

Abstract: We undertook a qualitative interview study of women's and their partners’ experiences of severe pregnancy complications. Across the care pathway, women identified a number of examples of good practice that made an important difference to their recovery. There were some areas where women felt the quality of care could be improved, for example during points of transition between higher level and routine care or from hospital to the community. Longer-term support and counselling were felt to be particularly valua… Show more

“…[13,14] When a woman experiences an LTC and survives, practitioners are able not only to identify the positive or negative components of her care, but also to elucidate any difficulties she experienced in seeking care or lack of understanding she had of her health problems. [15] In the Metro West maternity service of Cape Town, SA (formerly the Peninsula Maternal and Neonatal Service), maternal mortality has been systematically monitored since 1953, but there has been no system of measuring and monitoring near-misses.

“…[15] We also did not do any medium-or long-term follow-up of the women with near-misses to assess the impact of the severe morbidity on their subsequent physical and emotional wellbeing, which could have been considerable.…”

“…As narrativas de suas impressões, de perspectivas inerentes às histórias de vida, conformam-se como revelações de lacunas importantes e plausíveis de serem sanadas no contexto que circunscreve a atenção à saúde reprodutiva e contribui para a redução das complicações graves da gestação (5) . Outro ponto relevante apontado nos estudos refere-se à qualificação dos profissionais da saúde, uma vez que a detecção precoce de complicações resultantes da gravidez e a oferta de cuidados obstétricos de emergência torna-se essencial para a redução das taxas de Near Miss e de mortalidade materna .…”

“…Por apresentar uma maior proporção de casos com relação à ocorrência de óbitos (2) e por permitir que as próprias mulheres relatem o seu processo de adoecimento, a avaliação do Near Miss possibilita compreender os determinantes de morte em mulheres gravemente enfermas, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de estratégias efetivas para a redução da morbimortalidade materna, considerando que o desfecho é a única condição que as diferencia (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) . Apesar disso, ainda existem poucos estudos sobre o impacto do Near Miss na vida dessas mulheres (5) .…”
