“…[35] Our study findings related to inter-professional collaboration between midwives and physicians concur with previous study results examining the collaboration between midwives, nurses and physicians in maternity services. [36,37] Simpson et al [38] found that nurse-midwives and physicians in maternity services had a common objective of improving maternal and neonatal outcomes; however, they did not always come to an understanding on how to achieve that shared objective. [38] Education programs for health professionals would benefit by focusing on inter-professional collaboration.…”

High maternal and newborn mortality rates remain a global health issue. Ninety-nine percent of maternal deaths occur in low and middle income countries and many could be prevented by having more qualified health providers. In 2013, 62% of maternal deaths took place in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO R ) Educational Program is an internationally recognized continuous professional development course aimed at increasing the knowledge, skills, competence, and confidence of health professionals to manage obstetric emergencies. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore midwives' experiences of translating the knowledge and skills acquired from participating in the ALSO R program into their professional practice in Rwanda. A purposive sample of nine midwives participated in one-to-one interviews directed at understanding their experience of implementing their new knowledge and skills into practice. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Content analysis was used to illuminate five themes: 1) Improved midwifery practice, 2) Availability of resources, 3) Inter-professional collaboration, 4) Job (dis)satisfaction, and 5) Autonomy for midwifery practice. The findings revealed that although midwives reported increased knowledge, skills and confidence in management of obstetric emergencies, their ability to change practice was often hampered by non-conducive work environments, a shortage of health care providers, and insufficient equipment and materials. These findings can serve to inform ALSO R course module development, midwifery education development, and health human resources policy that can address obstetrical and newborn education needs and health service delivery in Rwanda.

“…In their qualitative study of midwifery staff perceptions of safety culture, Currie and Richens [16] argue that all staff members should be given the authority to report accidents, incidents, near-misses and safety concerns. In addition, the importance of communication between healthcare providers [17], improving relationships between patients and professionals [18] [19] as well as continuity of care [20] is described in several studies.…”

The aim was to evaluate the current state of knowledge pertaining to patient safety and its link to person-centred care. The international relevance of patient safety has expanded, as have the models of person-centred care. Inspired by this new trend, we collated and summarized the literature for evidence of the two topics. The study was guided by Russell, Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review framework. An electronic database search was conducted for relevant articles from 2005 to 2016. This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The structure and process of the evaluation of the evidence are described and the findings interpreted by means of a thematic synthesis. One theme emerged: trustful, safe communication in the relationship between the patient, family members and healthcare professionals and two domains; safety culture and multidisciplinary capacity building. The dominant dimension in the safety culture domain is respectful communication, which implies sharing experiences that lead to a sense of control during labour and birth and is related to the women's feeling of personal capacity. The dominant dimensions in the multidisciplinary capacity building domain are collaborative teamwork, coordination and risk management, knowledge sharing and patient-centred communication. In conclusion, to enhance patient safety, it is necessary to develop patient-focused, evidence-based skills and guidelines as well as a supportive organization. Due to their interaction with patients, midwives' communication competence on the part of midwives is essential for supporting the birth 379and fulfilling the women's needs and expectations.
