The study aimed to explore perceptions of stakeholders regarding misoprostol use in Cambodia, a setting with high maternal mortality. Semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with 21 participants in the capital, Phnom Penh. The sample included participants involved in providing reproductive health services through international and local health agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. A theme of controversy over the role of misoprostol in the context of reproductive health services emerged, along with a need to reconcile legitimate viewpoints in order to understand the place of misoprostol in the Cambodian reproductive health setting. Understanding stakeholder perspectives on misoprostol can shed light on the drug's role in reproductive health programming where maternal mortality is high and health facilities are still improving.
本研究旨在探讨利益相关者对米索前列醇在柬埔寨(一个孕产妇死亡率较高的国家)使用的看法。研究采用半结构化专家访谈的方法,在首都金边对 21 名参与者进行了访谈。样本包括通过国际和当地卫生机构以及制药行业参与提供生殖健康服务的参与者。研究结果显示,在生殖健康服务背景下,米索前列醇的作用存在争议,需要调和各种合理观点,以了解米索前列醇在柬埔寨生殖健康环境中的地位。了解利益相关者对米索前列醇的看法,可以揭示在孕产妇死亡率较高且卫生设施仍在不断改善的情况下,该药物在生殖健康规划中的作用。
