The study utilized a qualitative phenomenological approach to document responses of participants. Data was collected from three health facilities that had male midwives delivering mothers at the time of the study, and targeted postnatal mothers 18-49 years who had been delivered by a MMW in the last 6 months. Thirty-three mothers participated in the study: 15 in individual in-depth interviews and 18 in three focused group discussions. Collected data were transcribed in word, coded in excel and exported to Atlas.t 7 for analysis. Thematic and content analysis were utilized to derive insights from the data collected. The results showed that perceptions varied significantly across participants. Respondents attached certain beliefs and perceptions that the delivery process is an intimate matter that should only be handled by fellow women. Fear and discomfort when touched by a MMW and discomfort by mothers' partners, came out as strong viewpoints. However, there were strong experiences that MMWs demonstrated supportive, caring, respectful, sympathetic and passionate provision of care. These findings agree with several other studies reviewed during the study. Comprehensive sensitization focused on promoting the utilization of skilled birth attendants regardless of gender is necessary in reducing maternal mortality.</p><p><p>Cette étude a exploré les perceptions et les expériences des mères qui ont été prises en charge par des sages-femmes (MMW) lors de l'accouchement dans le district de Kween. L'étude a utilisé une approche phénoménologique qualitative pour documenter les réponses des participants. Les données ont été collectées auprès de trois établissements de santé qui avaient des sages-femmes accouchant des mères au moment de l'étude, et ciblaient les mères postnatales âgées de 18 à 49 ans qui avaient accouché par une MMW au cours des 6 derniers mois. Trente-trois mères ont participé à l'étude : 15 lors d'entretiens individuels approfondis et 18 lors de trois discussions de groupe ciblées. Les données collectées ont été transcrites sous Word, codées dans Excel et exportées vers Atlas.t 7 pour analyse. Des analyses thématiques et de contenu ont été utilisées pour tirer des enseignements des données collectées. Les résultats ont montré que les perceptions variaient considérablement selon les participants. Les personnes interrogées ont certaines croyances et perceptions selon lesquelles le processus d'accouchement est une question intime qui ne devrait être traitée que par d'autres femmes. La peur et l’inconfort lorsqu’on est touché par une femme enceinte et l’inconfort de la part des partenaires des mères se sont révélés être des points de vue forts. Cependant, il y a eu de nombreuses expériences où les MMW ont fait preuve de soutien, de bienveillance, de respect, de sympathie et de passion.

Stunting cadres, who are community health workers selected and trained to monitor and prevent stunting at the village level, play a crucial role in these efforts.
