https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Index ${session.getAttribute("locale")} 5 Trends and projections of under-5 mortality in Bangladesh including the effects of maternal high-risk fertility behaviours and use of healthcare services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45111 2) test was used to identify if there was any association with maternal high-risk fertility behaviours and use of healthcare services. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the effects of fertility behaviors and healthcare usage on the occurrence of U5M adjusting with confounders. Results: U5M declined from 82.5 to 41.0 per 1000 livebirths during 1994–2014 and is projected to further reduce to 17.6 per 1000 livebirths by 2030. The study identified a noticeable regional variation in U5M with maternal high-risk fertility behaviours including age at birth <18 years (aOR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.23–2.76) and birth interval <24 months (aOR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02–2.37) found to be significant determinants. There was a 39–53% decline in this rate of mortality among women that had used antenatal care services at least four times (aOR, 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27–0.97), delivery care (aOR, 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24–0.95), and had received postnatal care (aOR, 0.61, 95% CI: 0.41–0.91) in their last birth. Cesarean section was found to be associated with a 51% reduction in U5M (aOR, 0.49, 95% CI: 0.29–0.82) compared to its non-use. Conclusion: The Sustainable Development Goals require a U5M rate of 25 per 1000 livebirths to be achieved by 2030. This study suggests that with the current trend of reduction, Bangladesh will achieve this target before the deadline. This study also found that maternal high-risk fertility behaviours and non-use of maternal healthcare services are very prevalent in some regions of Bangladesh and have increased the occurrence of U5M in those areas. This suggests therefore, that policies and programmes designed to reduce the pregnancy rates of women that are at risk and to encourage an increase in the use of maternal healthcare services are needed.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:45:21 AEDT ]]> Pathways to improving maternal mortality in rural Nepal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35074 Wed 19 Jun 2019 11:39:00 AEST ]]> Effect of antenatal care and severe maternal complications on neonatal near miss in south Ethiopia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37195 Wed 14 Jul 2021 10:14:38 AEST ]]> Pregnancy weight gain a balancing act: The experience and perspectives of women participating in a pilot randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47098 Wed 14 Dec 2022 09:44:38 AEDT ]]> Understanding smoking by pregnant Aboriginal women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15198 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:46:23 AEST ]]> Empowering families by engaging and relating Murri way: A grounded theory study of the implementation of the Cape York Baby Basket program https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28399 empowering families through a process of engaging and relating Murri (Queensland Indigenous) way. Key influencing conditions of the social environment were the remoteness of communities, keeping up with demand, families' knowledge, skills and roles and organisational service approaches and capacities. Engaging and relating Murri way occurred through four strategies: connecting through practical support, creating a culturally safe practice, becoming informed and informing others, and linking at the clinic. These strategies resulted in women and families taking responsibility for health through making healthy choices, becoming empowered health consumers and advocating for community changes. Conclusions: The theoretical model was applied to improve and revise Baby Basket program implementation, including increased recognition of the importance of empowering families by extending the home visiting approach up to the child's third birthday. Engaging and relating Murri way was strengthened by formal recognition and training of Indigenous health workers as program leaders. This theoretical model of program implementation was therefore useful for guiding program improvements, and could be applicable to other Indigenous maternal and child health programs.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:48:10 AEST ]]> Barriers to accessing maternal health care services in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh: a qualitative descriptive study of Indigenous women's experiences https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37444 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:05:39 AEDT ]]> Using mixed methods to establish tobacco treatment acceptability from the perspective of clients and clinicians of antenatal substance use services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52969 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:54:42 AEDT ]]> Weighing as a stand-alone intervention does not reduce excessive gestational weight gain compared to routine antenatal care: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30994 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:04:42 AEST ]]> Receipt of information about diet by pregnant women: a cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47615 Tue 24 Jan 2023 11:56:50 AEDT ]]> Developing research in partnership with Aboriginal communities: strategies for improving recruitment and retention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13864 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:00:28 AEST ]]> Improving Clinicians' Implementation of Guidelines to Help Women Stop Smoking in Pregnancy: Developing Evidence-Based Print and Video Materials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41737 Tue 14 Nov 2023 12:57:17 AEDT ]]> A practice change intervention to improve antenatal care addressing alcohol consumption by women during pregnancy: research protocol for a randomised stepped-wedge cluster trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36133 Thu 28 Oct 2021 12:36:52 AEDT ]]> A first step to improving maternal mortality in a low-literacy setting; the successful use of singing to improve knowledge regarding antenatal care https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34938 Thu 28 Oct 2021 12:36:30 AEDT ]]> Acceptance of smoking cessation support and quitting behaviours of women attending Aboriginal Maternal and Infant Health Services for antenatal care https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45132 Thu 23 Mar 2023 09:49:21 AEDT ]]> The Breathing for Life Trial: a randomised controlled trial of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)-based management of asthma during pregnancy and its impact on perinatal outcomes and infant and childhood respiratory health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25524 29 parts per billion (ppb), decrease in dose when FENO <19 ppb, and no change when FENO is between 19 and 29 ppb). A long acting beta agonist (LABA) will be added when symptoms remain uncontrolled. Both the control and intervention groups will report on exacerbations at a postpartum phone interview. The primary outcome is adverse perinatal outcome (a composite measure including preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, neonatal hospitalisation at birth or perinatal mortality), assessed from hospital records. Secondary outcomes will be each component of the primary outcome, maternal exacerbations requiring medical intervention during pregnancy (both smokers and non-smokers), and hospitalisation and emergency department presentation for wheeze, bronchiolitis or croup in the first 12 months of infancy. Outcome assessment and statistical analysis of the primary outcome will be blinded. To detect a reduction in adverse perinatal outcomes from 35 % to 26 %, 600 pregnant women with asthma per group are required. Discussion: This trial will provide evidence for the effectiveness of a FENO-based management strategy in improving perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with asthma. If successful, this would improve the management of pregnant women with asthma worldwide.]]> Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:41:14 AEDT ]]> Systematic review of community participation interventions to improve maternal health outcomes in rural South Asia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35064 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:37:02 AEDT ]]> Systematic and meta-analysis of factors associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia in sub-Saharan Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37246 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:36:54 AEDT ]]> Are pregnant women with asthma receiving guideline-recommended antenatal asthma management?

Educational status, previous use of antenatal care and best friend’s use of maternal care were significant predisposing factors associated with at least one antenatal care visit. Type of kebele, wealth index and husband’s attitude towards antenatal care were significant enabling factors associated with at least one antenatal care consultation. Health Extension Workers providing home visits, perceived importance of ANC and awareness of pregnancy complications were significant need factor associated with at least one antenatal care consultation. Husband’s attitude towards ANC, head of the household, awareness of pregnancy complications, and history of abortion were predictors of attending four or more antenatal care visits. Conclusion: More than half of the women attended at least one antenatal care visit. A sizable proportion of women had infrequent and delayed antenatal care. Intervention efforts to improve antenatal care utilization should involve the following: improving women’s educational achievement, peer education programs to mobilize and support women, programs to change husbands’ attitudes, ameliorate the quality of antenatal care, increasing the Health Extension Worker’s home visits program, and increasing the awareness of pregnancy complications.]]> Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:38:40 AEDT ]]> Identifying pregnant women at risk of poor birth outcomes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7288 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:11 AEDT ]]> Antenatal care adequacy in three provinces of Vietnam: Long An, Ben Tre and Quang Ngai https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10242 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:09 AEDT ]]> Maternal mortality and maternal health service utlization in Eastern Ethiopia: The case of Kersa district https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36415 Mon 26 Oct 2020 11:36:04 AEDT ]]> Antenatal education - Putting research into practice: A guideline review. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54974 Mon 25 Mar 2024 15:21:02 AEDT ]]> Father of the year 2016 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32328 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:04:39 AEST ]]> Pregnant pause: would it hurt you to go without drinking? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32325 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:34:45 AEST ]]> The coparenting edition https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32323 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:30:01 AEST ]]> Fatherhood Research Bulletin https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32316 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:54:31 AEST ]]> Fatherhood Research Bulletin https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32309 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:20:10 AEST ]]> Special issue on fathers and infants https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32310 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:09:03 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of a practice change intervention in reducing alcohol consumption in pregnant women attending public maternity services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50983 Mon 22 Apr 2024 15:27:07 AEST ]]> Practice change intervention to improve antenatal care addressing alcohol consumption during pregnancy: a randomised stepped-wedge controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50984 Mon 14 Aug 2023 15:52:49 AEST ]]> Written information and health professionals are the information sources about alcohol use in pregnancy most often used by pregnant women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50982 1 pregnancy] and more highly educated) obtained no information regarding alcohol use in pregnancy.

Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% CI for AnteSB and IntraSB comparing migrant women from white, Asian, Indian, African, Māori, and ‘other’ ethnicities with Australian-born women controlling for risk factors and potential healthcare-related covariates. Of all the births, 66.1% were to Australian-born and 33.9% to migrant women. The mean age (years) was 29.5 among the Australian-born and 30.5 among the migrant mothers. For parity, 42.3% of Australian-born women, 58.2% of Indian women, and 29.3% of African women were nulliparous. Only 5.3% of Māori and 9.2% of African migrants had private health insurance in contrast to 43.1% of Australian-born women. Among Australian-born women, 14% had smoked in pregnancy whereas only 0.7% and 1.9% of migrants from Indian and African backgrounds, respectively, had smoked in pregnancy. The odds of AnteSB was elevated in African (odds ratio [OR] 2.22, 95% CI 1.48–2.13, P < 0.001), Indian (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.13–2.44, P = 0.013), and other women (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.07–1.97, P = 0.016) whereas IntraSB was higher in African (OR 5.24, 95% CI 3.22–8.54, P < 0.001) and ‘other’ women (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.35–3.54, P = 0.002) compared with Australian-born women. When migrants were stratified by timing of first antenatal visit, the odds of AnteSB was exclusively increased in those who commenced ANC later than 14 weeks gestation in women from Indian (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.18–3.95, P = 0.013), Māori (OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.43–6.45, P = 0.004), and ‘other’ (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.34–3.58, P = 0.002) ethnicities. With midwife-only intrapartum care, the odds of IntraSB for viable births in African and ‘other’ migrants (combined) were more than 3 times that of Australian-born women (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.28–9.19, P = 0.014); however, with multidisciplinary intrapartum care, the odds were similar to that of Australian-born group (OR 1.34, 95% CI 0.30–5.98, P = 0.695). Compared with Australian-born women, migrant women who utilised interpreter services had a lower risk of SB (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.27–0.96, P = 0.035); those who did not utilise interpreters had a higher risk of SB (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.07–1.35, P < 0.001). Covariates partially available in the data set comprised the main limitation of the study. Conclusion: Late commencement of ANC, underutilisation of interpreter services, and midwife-only intrapartum care are associated with increased risk of SB in migrant women. Education to improve early engagement with ANC, better uptake of interpreter services, and the provision of multidisciplinary-team intrapartum care to women specifically from African and ‘other’ backgrounds may reduce the risk of SB in migrants.]]> Fri 15 Jul 2022 09:57:23 AEST ]]> Service environment link and false discovery rate correction: methodological considerations in population and health facility surveys. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37083 Fri 14 Aug 2020 14:27:46 AEST ]]> Availability and readiness of healthcare facilities and their effects on antenatal care services uptake in Bangladesh https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55281 Fri 10 May 2024 16:13:47 AEST ]]> Screening for recommended antenatal risk factors: how long does it take? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34930 Fri 10 Mar 2023 18:38:15 AEDT ]]> Improving implementation of smoking cessation guidelines in pregnancy care: development of an intervention to address system, maternity service leader and clinician factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42775 Fri 02 Sep 2022 11:00:17 AEST ]]>
