Postnatal care services in rural Zambia: a qualitative exploration of user, provider, and community perspectives on quality of care

Cephas Sialubanje et al.

Summary: This qualitative study explored user and provider perspectives on the quality of postnatal care (PNC) services in rural Zambia. The study found that while PNC services were perceived to be beneficial, there were mixed feelings on the quality, with users highlighting issues of communication, respect, preservation of dignity, and emotional support, and providers attributing poor quality to health system challenges. The study suggests that interventions should focus on improving communication, raising awareness on PNC guidelines, and addressing contextual health system challenges to enhance the quality of PNC services in Zambia.

Perspectives on factors influencing transmission of COVID-19 in Zambia: a qualitative study of health workers and community members

Cephas Sialubanje et al.

Summary: This study explores the perspectives of health professionals and community members in Zambia on the factors influencing the transmission of COVID-19. The findings reveal that health professionals have a higher risk perception and positive attitude towards prevention and control measures, while community members have myths and misconceptions, leading to a negative attitude towards the disease and lower adherence to guidelines. Factors such as limited information, negative attitudes, social activities, and work conditions contribute to the increased risk of COVID-19 transmission in the community.

Perspectives on the COVID-19 vaccine uptake: a qualitative study of community members and health workers in Zambia

Cephas Sialubanje et al.

Summary: Since the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine programme in April 2021, the vaccine uptake in Zambia has been low, less than 20%. This qualitative study explored the perspectives of community members and health workers on the vaccine uptake and identified factors influencing it. The study found that limited knowledge, access to information, myths and misconceptions, negative attitudes, low-risk perception, and supply issues in remote areas contributed to the low vaccine uptake. Health workers had more knowledge about the vaccine compared to community members, particularly those in urban areas. The study suggests that personal or family experience with COVID-19 and misinformation from social media influenced participants' attitudes towards the vaccine.

Decomposition of socioeconomic inequalities in the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Nigeria: evidence from Demographic Health Survey

Chijioke Ifeanyi Okoli et al.

Summary: The study revealed that in Nigeria, pregnant women from socioeconomically advantaged backgrounds had higher uptake of adequate IPTp-SP, especially in urban areas, while a pro-poor inequality was observed in rural areas. Factors such as geographic zone of residence and antenatal visits were identified as key drivers for the concentration of IPTp-SP uptake among wealthier pregnant women.

Determinants of the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulphadoxine pyrimethamine in Sabatia Sub County, Western Kenya

Joshua A. Mutanyi et al.

Summary: This study found a high level of optimal uptake of IPTp-SP in the Sabatia Sub County of Kenya, with factors such as timing and frequency of antenatal care visits, women's understanding of the benefits and dosage of the service, influencing the likelihood of pregnant women receiving optimal care. Efforts should be directed towards early and more frequent ANC visits, along with intensive and targeted health education to improve IPTp-SP uptake.

Uptake challenges of intermittent preventive malaria therapy among pregnant women and their health care providers in the Upper West Region of Ghana: A mixed-methods study

Frederick Dun-Dery et al.

Summary: The study conducted in the Upper West Region of Ghana found low uptake of IPTp-SP among pregnant women, with main challenges being frequent drug stock outs, staff absenteeism, knowledge deficiencies among pregnant women, and missed ANC contacts. The high dosing of co-administered FA is against international recommendations. These issues need to be addressed by national public health authorities.

Factors influencing the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel analysis

Eugene Kofuor Maafo Darteh et al.

Summary: The study found that the uptake of IPTp-SP among pregnant women in sub-Saharan African countries is relatively low, with significant inter-country variations. Factors associated with higher odds of optimal IPTp-SP uptake include higher educational level, exposure to media, low parity, and older age group. National policies and interventions to improve coverage and uptake of IPTp-SP should target women with lower education levels, non-exposure to media, higher parity, and younger age group.
