Abstract

Background: In India, current maternal mortality ratio is 97/100,000 livebirths, and still more efforts are needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3, target 1 of 70/100,000 livebirths. Women die because of complications during and following pregnancy and childbirth. Skilled care during and immediately after delivery has been identified as one of the key strategies in reducing maternal mortality. Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) has been implemented as a comprehensive strategy to fill this gap. BPCR is one of the key interventions to reduce the maternal mortality.

Materials and methods: This was a community-based before and after interventional study (quasi-experimental study) and was conducted in two randomly selected primary health centers of South West district of Delhi.

Results: A total of 152 community health workers (CHWs) took part in the study. About one fourth (22.03%) had knowledge regarding water breakage without labor, which increased to 85.53% after training and was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). Mean knowledge score preintervention was 4.35 (1.82), whereas the postintervention mean knowledge score was 8.98 (0.99) and was statistically significant (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Though awareness of CHWs on some aspects of the BPCR components was good before the training program, marked improvement was seen in most of the domains after the training session.

印度新德里社区卫生工作者分娩准备和并发症准备意识培训的效果。

背景：印度目前的孕产妇死亡率为 97/100,000，要实现可持续发展目标 3 的具体目标 1（70/100,000），仍需付出更多努力。妇女死于妊娠和分娩期间及之后的并发症。分娩时和分娩后的专业护理已被确定为降低孕产妇死亡率的关键战略之一。分娩准备和并发症准备（BPCR）已作为一项综合战略加以实施，以填补这一空白。分娩准备和并发症准备是降低孕产妇死亡率的关键干预措施之一：这是一项基于社区的前后干预研究（准实验研究），在德里西南区随机选择的两个初级保健中心进行：共有 152 名社区保健员（CHWs）参加了研究。约四分之一（22.03%）的社区保健员了解不分娩断水的相关知识，培训后这一比例上升至 85.53%，并具有显著的统计学意义（P < 0.0001）。干预前的平均知识得分为 4.35 (1.82)，而干预后的平均知识得分为 8.98 (0.99)，具有统计学意义（P < 0.0001）：尽管在培训计划之前，社区保健工作者对 BPCR 的某些方面的认识还不错，但在培训课程之后，他们在大多数方面的认识都有了明显的提高。
