“…Several factors were identified from the included reviews that improved user satisfaction, such as family-centred care in which parents actively participated in healthcare of their children,69 effective communication50 and interventions that improved education and awareness about newborn care 67. Users’ dissatisfaction was mainly related to the uncaring, disrespectful, insensitive and abusive attitude of care providers,23 52 70 71 but it was also found to be associated with practices that were not compatible with their culture22 and concepts of health and illness 25.…”

“…It was observed that settings other than the clinics and hospitals, such as the home, maternity waiting facilities and outpatient setting, were relatively more successful in improving user satisfaction and at least as effective as the hospitals in terms of effectiveness 61 68 69 82 87 88. However, the safety of such settings could not be ascertained, particularly safety related to planned home birth/abortion59 82 89 90 and induction of labour in the home or community setting 68…”

ObjectiveConduct a global situational analysis to identify the current facilitators and barriers to improving quality of care (QoC) for pregnant women, newborns and children.Study designMetareview of published and unpublished systematic reviews and meta-analyses conducted between January 2000 and March 2013 in any language. Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) is used to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews.SettingsHealth systems of all countries. Study outcome: QoC measured using surrogate indicators––effective, efficient, accessible, acceptable/patient centred, equitable and safe.AnalysisConducted in two phases (1) qualitative synthesis of extracted data to identify and group the facilitators and barriers to improving QoC, for each of the three population groups, into the six domains of WHO's framework and explore new domains and (2) an analysis grid to map the common facilitators and barriers.ResultsWe included 98 systematic reviews with 110 interventions to improve QoC from countries globally. The facilitators and barriers identified fitted the six domains of WHO's framework––information, patient–population engagement, leadership, regulations and standards, organisational capacity and models of care. Two new domains, ‘communication’ and ‘satisfaction’, were generated. Facilitators included active and regular interpersonal communication between users and providers; respect, confidentiality, comfort and support during care provision; engaging users in decision-making; continuity of care and effective audit and feedback mechanisms. Key barriers identified were language barriers in information and communication; power difference between users and providers; health systems not accounting for user satisfaction; variable standards of implementation of standard guidelines; shortage of resources in health facilities and lack of studies assessing the role of leadership in improving QoC. These were common across the three population groups.ConclusionsThe barriers to good-quality healthcare are common for pregnant women, newborns and children; thus, interventions targeted to address them will have uniform beneficial effects. Adopting the identified facilitators would help countries strengthen their health systems and ensure high-quality care for all.

“…There is limited knowledge in the area of family caregivers experiences of caring for a child with long-term illness and especially for caring a child diagnosed with HIV during their lifelong treatment (Cooper, 2006;Parker et al, 2006). The experience of family caregivers dealing with the care of a HIV infected child is not studied at all in Ethiopia.…”

“…15,16 Of note, a systematic review of randomised controlled trials is currently under way to assess the evidence for the impact of such services in terms of positive outcomes and harm. 17 Despite these limitations in outcome assessment, this paediatric ambulatory and community service has begun to show benefits in terms of greater access for families to community outreach through increased referral, parental satisfaction and saved hospital bed-days. The multidisciplinary nature of the team and its proactive engagement with acute hospital and primary care services has resulted in an integrated and comprehensive model.…”

Hospital admission is distressing and traumatic for children as they are separated from their families and home. Internationally, and in Australia, alternative models of health care are being developed to meet the needs of children and their families. We describe the first eighteen months of the establishment of a paediatric ambulatory and community service in a district health service in New South Wales. Key outcomes include: increased referral to the service from acute hospital and primary care services; parental satisfaction and saved hospital beddays. Lessons learnt in the setting up of this service include the need for proactive engagement of consumers and stakeholders; clear definition of roles and responsibilities; and measurable and reasonable performance indi- cators.
