Faith-based collaboration to address maternal and child mortality through midwifery training: a case study from Sierra Leone
Abstrak
Research on preventing maternal and child mortality highlights the importance of promoting midwife and nurse competence and confidence through training and continuous medical education. While training is effective, particularly through the use of the “low-dose, high-frequency” training model, there are barriers to implementing continuous medical education. This case study will present outcomes from a midwifery training conducted in Kenema, Sierra Leone. Outcomes include improvements in knowledge, skills, and confidence, and knowledge cascading through continued “low-dose, high-frequency” (LDHF) training in facilities. This case study will also present implications for strengthening future training, including integrating soft skills and increasing facility-based training opportunities, as well as present qualities necessary for organizational collaborative efforts for health systems strengthening.
