Abstract

Introduction: Comadronas attend most births in rural and urban Guatemala where the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is highest in Latin America. Information has been published regarding rural comadronas' response to obstetrical emergencies. Understanding urban comadronas' response to obstetrical emergencies is essential to addressing Guatemala's MMR.

Methods: A total of 17 urban comadronas participated in one, 34-min focus group to share their knowledge, practices, and attitudes regarding obstetrical emergencies. We used the long table to analyze the content to develop a matrix of themes.

Results: Five themes emerged. Urban comadronas receive consistent training, have hospital transportation, and feel confident in their knowledge, but they lack equipment and feel hospital providers disrespect them. Still, the joy of attending births outweighs the challenges they face.

Discussion: Urban comadronas described a different experience of responding to obstetrical emergencies than rural comadronas. Distinct approaches are needed to provide culturally congruent support for urban and rural comadronas when responding to obstetrical emergencies.

圣雷蒙多关于 Comadronas 应对危地马拉城市产科紧急情况的焦点小组。

导言：危地马拉农村和城市的产妇死亡率（MMR）是拉丁美洲最高的。有关农村助产士应对产科紧急情况的信息已经公布。要解决危地马拉的孕产妇死亡率问题，了解城市社区保健中心对产科紧急情况的应对措施至关重要：共有 17 名城市妇产科医生参加了一个 34 分钟的焦点小组，分享了他们对产科急诊的认识、做法和态度。我们使用长桌分析法对内容进行分析，形成了一个主题矩阵：结果：形成了五个主题。城市助产士接受了持续的培训，有医院的接送，对自己的知识充满信心，但他们缺乏设备，认为医院服务人员不尊重他们。尽管如此，助产的喜悦还是超过了她们所面临的挑战：城市助产士与农村助产士在应对产科急症方面有着不同的经历。在应对产科急诊时，需要采取不同的方法，为城市和农村的护士长提供文化上一致的支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
