| description |
This study aimed to explore the situation during delivery in rural homes and to identify
the barriers to emergency obstetric care (EOC). Twenty sO< pregnant women were
followed-up at home by experienced female interviewers. No notes were taken during the
conversations but a detailed diary of each visit was made immediately after they returned
to the base. Women themselves were often not aware of self care. A fear of sin which
was attributed to the presence of unknown male doctors in the hospital acted as barrier.
Women's relationship with their in-laws was found to be important. An early assessment
and indication for referral by traditional birth attendants (TBAs) was important in the
decision making process. TBAs were often trying to manage the complications by
themselves. The hospital is a unfamiliar place for rural people. A common perception
was that the hospital people pay attention only to rich and educated people. In-laws and
neighbours jointly undertook the decision for hospitalization.
All members of the community need to be educated about the danger signs of obstetric
emergencies. For this poster charts, audio visual aids, folk drama might be used as
effective tools for the information campaign. TBA training interventions should give more
emphasis to early recognition of complications and early indications for referral. |
