To address the gap in the uptake of long-acting contraception (LAC) methods among high-risk postpartum women who fail to return for a family planning method at HôpitalUniversitaire de Mirebalais in the Central Plateau Department of Haiti, contraceptive implant trainings were held for providers on the Labour and Delivery, Post-Partum and Internal Medicine inpatient wards. A very high maternal mortality rate affects large numbers of women in Haiti; however, contraceptive use can reduce maternal mortality significantly. A quality improvement strategy to offer LAC methods to immediate postpartum women at a University Hospital in rural Haiti was initiated in March 2016. This new strategy produced an average improvement from 5% to 32% of women delivering at the hospital, accepting a long-acting method (including bilateral tubal ligations) by the end of the project and which has proved sustainable at an average of 20% to date.
为解决海地中央高原省米雷巴莱大学医院高危产后妇女长效避孕(LAC)方法使用率低的问题,即这些妇女未能返回接受计划生育方法,医院为产科、产后及内科住院病房的医护人员举办了避孕植入培训。海地有大量妇女受极高孕产妇死亡率影响;然而,使用避孕药具可显著降低孕产妇死亡率。2016年3月,海地农村一家大学医院启动了一项质量改进策略,为产后即刻的妇女提供长效避孕方法。这一新策略使在该医院分娩的妇女接受长效避孕方法(包括双侧输卵管结扎)的比例从平均5%提高到了项目结束时的32%,且截至目前平均维持在20%,已证明具有可持续性。
