“…Education and training programs should be organized according to the needs of midwives based on their service work [ 71 ]. Recent reviews stated that practicing midwives lack knowledge of diagnosis and care aspects in the early detection of pre-eclampsia [ 72 ], which was also found in our research ( Table 3 ). This early detection is part of midwifery emergency training [ 73 , 74 ].…”

“…The effectiveness of technology integration into healthcare training can improve clinical skills professionally and enhance health workers’ learning experiences [ 79 ]. Previous studies show that innovative on-traditional methods, such as mHealth, have the potential to increase midwives’ knowledge [ 72 , 80 ]. Besides, educational and skills training that integrates techniques and practice with the mHealth application can increase midwives’ self-efficacy [ 81 ] and be a learning medium for training through e-modules and learning videos with blended learning strategies [ 82 , 83 ].…”

Midwives’ competence in providing continuity of care using mobile health (mHealth) applications is limited in developing countries. This study identified and explored midwives’ competency and service needs to develop mHealth in Midwifery Continuity of Care (MCOC) education and training. It used an explanatory sequential mixed method, and was conducted from August to December 2021. A cross-sectional approach was used to find the characteristics and competency scope of 373 midwives in West Java, and continued with a qualitative design through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) of 13 midwives. Descriptive data analysis (frequency, mean, deviation standard) and qualitative data analysis (coding, sub-themes, and theme) were conducted. In terms of the x midwives who participated in this study, more than half were aged £ 35 years (58.98%), with a working period > 10 years (56.30%), had diploma degrees (71.12%), and used smartphones on average 1–12 h/day (78.28%). Most midwives needed to develop competency in the MCOC scope, including its early detection of the risk factor of complications and treatment management. They were concerned about the purposes, benefits, and design of mHealth. In summary, midwives’ competency indicators for early detection are more needed in MCOC using mHealth. Further research is required to evaluate midwives’ competence in MCOC using mHealth.

“…Previous studies on HDP have examined the prevalence, factors associated with the client, and interventions for addressing HPD. A recent scoping review ( Garti et al, 2021 ) identified several studies from Africa on midwives’ knowledge of preeclampsia management but not their experiences. Moreso, none of the studies included in the review focused on the current setting.…”

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective Eclampsia remains a public health issue, especially in low-resource countries worldwide. Midwives are the backbone of the pregnancy and delivery process. Midwives trained in the necessary knowledge and skills are more likely to notice early warning signals of preeclampsia and immediately help clients in such emergencies. This study explored midwives’ experiences in managing patients with eclampsia in Ghana. Methods This study was conducted among eight registered midwives at maternity units of two district hospitals in the Eastern Region of Ghana, using an exploratory, descriptive qualitative research design. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to select and interview participants. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The right of participation and withdrawal from the study was respected. Findings The three emerged overriding themes are: 1. Midwives have knowledge (warning signs, regimens, and prevention of complications) about the management of eclampsia. 2. Challenges in managing clients included inadequate equipment, staffing, and access to drugs. 3. Strategies for mitigating barriers to care for women with eclampsia (adherence to protocols, teamwork, peer mentoring and supervision, midwives’ attitude, and client education. Conclusion Midwives working in underserved facilities have the knowledge and skill to monitor and manage pregnant women experiencing eclampsia. However, they need to be supported with appropriate resources and advanced equipment to ensure adherence to protocols on managing eclampsia promptly referred. Continuous training and workshops for midwives in the management of hypertension in pregnancy are recommended and the public educated on the dangers of eclampsia.

“…Women needed appropriate information, otherwise they questioned the assessment and management skills of HCP [ 33 ]. There were instances wherein HCP lacked knowledge about the diagnosis [ 38 ], prevention and management [ 39 ] of preeclampsia. HCP have a responsibility to know the latest information, use optimal management strategies, improve their skills, and acquire knowledge pertinent to the women’s condition.…”

Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) constitute one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide, and are associated with an increased risk of recurrence and future cardiovascular disease. HDP affect women’s health condition, mode of birth and timing, length of hospital stay, and relationship with their newborn and family, with future life repercussions. Aims To explore the experiences of women with HDP from pregnancy to postpartum, and to identify (a) their perceptions and understanding of HDP, (b) their understanding of future health risks, and (c) the possible interventions by healthcare providers. Methods A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute method and in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The following databases were searched from 1990 to 2020 (October): MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar database. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist was used as a guide for the qualitative analysis. Content analysis and synthesis of findings were conducted using Nvivo12. Results Of the 1971 articles identified through database searching, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria. After data extraction, content analysis yielded six categories: ‘Life-threatening disorder’, ‘Coping with HDP’, ‘Concerns for baby and challenges of motherhood’, ‘Fear of recurrence and health problems’, ‘Necessity of social and spiritual support’, and ‘Positive and negative experiences in the healthcare context’. Women faced complex difficulties from the long treatment process while transitioning to motherhood. Conclusion Our findings revealed the perceptions and understanding of women regarding HDP as a life-threatening disorder to both mothers and their babies which mothers need to cope with. Recovery of physical condition and the long-term psychological effects of HDP on women should be given attention by mothers and HCP to reduce future health risks. Importantly, a lifelong follow-up system is recommended for women with HDP.
