“…Hazard [ 68 ] interviewed Spanish-speaking Hispanic women to evaluate a culturally-sensitive program of labor support compared to women who received standard care. Women who received the intervention appreciated having the cultural and social support from trained Hispanic doulas, demonstrated increased use of healthcare resources, reported enhanced quality of informed consent, and fewer language barriers with providers.…”

A systematic review of person-centered care interventions to improve quality of facility-based delivery

IntroductionWe conducted a systematic review to summarize the global evidence on person-centered care (PCC) interventions in delivery facilities in order to: (1) map the PCC objectives of past interventions (2) to explore the impact of PCC objectives on PCC and clinical outcomes.MethodsWe developed a search strategy based on a current definition of PCC. We searched for English-language, peer-reviewed and original research articles in multiple databases from 1990 to 2016 and conducted hand searches of the Cochrane library and gray literature. We used systematic review methodology that enabled us to extract and synthesize quantitative and qualitative data. We categorized interventions according to their primary and secondary PCC objectives. We categorized outcomes into person-centered and clinical (labor and delivery, perinatal, maternal mental health).ResultsOur initial search strategy yielded 9378 abstracts; we conducted full-text reviews of 32 quantitative, 6 qualitative, 2 mixed-methods studies, and 7 systematic reviews (N = 47). Past interventions pursued these primary PCC objectives: autonomy, supportive care, social support, the health facility environment, and dignity. An intervention’s primary and secondary PCC objectives frequently did not align with the measured person-centered outcomes. Generally, PCC interventions either improved or made no difference to person-centered outcomes. There was no clear relationship between PCC objectives and clinical outcomes.ConclusionsThis systematic review presents a comprehensive analysis of facility-based delivery interventions using a current definition of person-centered care. Current definitions of PCC propose new domains of inquiry but may leave out previous domains.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12978-018-0588-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The effectiveness of implementing brief maternal screenings for PPD during well‐child and postpartum visits is well‐documented (Freeman et al, 2005; Le et al, 2009; Olson, Dietrich, Prazar, & Hurley, 2006). This may be an important strategy because many Hispanic women do not return for their postpartum maternal checkups (Hazard et al, 2009). Given the high rates consistently found among similar studies, as well as the vulnerability of this population, we strongly recommend healthcare providers including nurses implement universal screening with the PDSS‐Spanish version for all Spanish‐speaking Hispanic women across the childbearing year.…”

“…The content for these items was formulated from the comments and experiences of postpartum women during extensive qualitative study (Le, Perry, & Ortiz, 2009). The English and Spanish versions of this tool have been widely used to evaluate PPD risk among Hispanic women (Beck, Froman, & Bernal, 2003; Hazard et al, 2009; Wei et al, 2008). The authors of the PDSS‐Spanish version conducted two studies to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish scale; both demonstrated an alpha internal consistency reliability of .95 for the total score, and .94 and .95 for Mexican–American women (Beck et al, 2003; Beck & Gable, 2005b).…”

“…The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) conducted a study in 2000 that examined PPD in seven states; Utah had the highest rate of PPD, and Hispanic women overall had a 46.7% rate of mild to moderate PPD and 8.4% had severe depression (CDC, 2004). Furthermore, an outcomes evaluation of the Hispanic Labor Friends Initiative conducted at the Ogden Community Health Clinic in Utah demonstrated that four out of 21 immigrant Hispanic women had significant symptoms of PPD and three were at high risk for PPD requiring referral to a mental health professional (Hazard, Callister, Birkhead, & Nichols, 2009). Because many of these women did not return for their 6 week postpartum checkup and had not been regularly assessed for PPD, the need was identified to determine the incidence of PPD in Utah for this population of vulnerable women so they could be referred for mental health services.…”

Given that a large number of Hispanic women do not return for postpartum appointments, along with the high rates of PPD symptoms, it is strongly recommended that healthcare providers implement universal screening for all Hispanic women in pregnancy and across the first postpartum year to ensure prompt diagnosis and culturally appropriate treatment. Further research is needed to assess the cultural components of PPD and to determine if the prevalence is consistent in other community settings.

“…A large sub-category comprises 14 interventions in which people who share cultural characteristics with a target service user group are employed to bridge the cultural gap between this group and service providers ( Table 4 ) [53] – [66] . They may fulfil various roles including encouraging and helping women to access care [57] , [59] ; assisting women in communicating with healthcare providers [55] , [56] ; and advocating on their behalf [62] . They are sometimes referred to as ‘linkworkers,’ ‘peer health workers’ or ‘cultural brokers’.…”

Maternity Care Services and Culture: A Systematic Global Mapping of Interventions

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundA vast body of global research shows that cultural factors affect the use of skilled maternity care services in diverse contexts. While interventions have sought to address this issue, the literature on these efforts has not been synthesised. This paper presents a systematic mapping of interventions that have been implemented to address cultural factors that affect women's use of skilled maternity care. It identifies and develops a map of the literature; describes the range of interventions, types of literature and study designs; and identifies knowledge gaps.Methods and FindingsSearches conducted systematically in ten electronic databases and two websites for literature published between 01/01/1990 and 28/02/2013 were combined with expert-recommended references. Potentially eligible literature included journal articles and grey literature published in English, French or Spanish. Items were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, yielding 96 items in the final map. Data extracted from the full text documents are presented in tables and a narrative synthesis. The results show that a diverse range of interventions has been implemented in 35 countries to address cultural factors that affect the use of skilled maternity care. Items are classified as follows: (1) service delivery models; (2) service provider interventions; (3) health education interventions; (4) participatory approaches; and (5) mental health interventions.ConclusionsThe map provides a rich source of information on interventions attempted in diverse settings that might have relevance elsewhere. A range of literature was identified, from narrative descriptions of interventions to studies using randomised controlled trials to evaluate impact. Only 23 items describe studies that aim to measure intervention impact through the use of experimental or observational-analytic designs. Based on the findings, we identify avenues for further research in order to better document and measure the impact of interventions to address cultural factors that affect use of skilled maternity care.

Hispanic Labor Friends Initiative

Abstract: The provision of culturally appropriate social support is critical in the care of Hispanic immigrant childbearing women. Programs such as the Hispanic Labor Friends Initiative can help improve support and promote positive outcomes in these vulnerable and disadvantaged women.
