摘要

背景:分娩准备是一项有效预防产科延误的战略。使用移动技术可以使产前保健期间提供的卫生信息更容易获得,并更有效。移动技术可以更有效地传递健康信息,因为它的可及性和后续行动。材料和方法:这是一项随机对照试验,在Migori县公共卫生产前诊所就诊的孕妇中进行。随机选取了四家卫生机构。研究组和对照组分别随机选择了两个设施。这项研究共招募了379名参与者。研究小组的参与者在预产期前一个月收到了关于分娩准备的口头信息和手机短信提醒。研究人员通过两组人的手机通讯录对他们进行了跟踪。数据收集使用访谈者管理的问卷,并使用Stata版本11进行分析。通过比例测试对两组进行比较。结果:研究成功率为90.5% (n = 343)。大多数参与者(73%)的年龄在20到34岁之间。他们中大多数已婚(79.2%),大多数受过小学教育。新教为主要宗教(55.2%)。家庭主妇和商业女性分别占34.2%和27%。研究组有分娩准备者占74.3% (n = 136),对照组为48.1% (n = 77)。结论:手机短信提醒比口头提醒更有效。

Effectiveness of mobile phone text message reminder on birth preparedness in a rural community in Kenya
Background: Birth preparedness is a strategy that has been found effective in preventing obstetric delays. Use of mobile technology can enable access and efficiency of health messages delivered during antenatal care. The mobile technology can be more effective in conveying health messages owing to its accessibility and enables follow up. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized control trial carried out among pregnant women attending public health antenatal clinics in Migori County. Four health facilities were randomized. Two facilities each were randomly picked for the study and control groups respectively. A total of 379 participants were recruited into the study. The study group participants received a verbal message on birth preparedness and a mobile phone text message reminder one month to their expected date of delivery. Follow up was done to both groups through their mobile phone contacts. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using Stata version 11. Proportion tests were done to compare the groups. Results: The success rate of the study was 90.5% (n = 343). Most of the participants (73%) were aged between 20 and 34 years. Majority of them were married (79.2%) and most of them had primary level of education. Protestant was the predominant religion (55.2%). Housewives and businesswomen constituted 34.2% and 27%, respectively. The respondents in the study group who were birth prepared were 74.3% (n = 136) while those in the control group were 48.1% (n = 77). Conclusion: The use of mobile phone text message reminder in addition to verbal messages is more effective.
