Sierra Leone has one of the highest maternal mortality and infant mortality rates globally. We share findings from a Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment, conducted in 2021 as a collaboration between the Government of Sierra Leone and Seed Global Health. The assessment identified existing needs and gaps in midwifery clinical training at health facilities in Sierra Leone from various stakeholders' perspectives.
The descriptive needs assessment utilized mixed methods, including surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and reviews of maternal medical records.
The following showed needs and gaps in labor and delivery management; record keeping; triage processes; clinical education for students, recent graduates, and preceptors; and lack of infrastructure and resources.
The knowledge gained from this needs assessment can further the development of midwifery clinical training programs in Sierra Leone and other low-income countries facing similar challenges. We discuss the implication of our findings.
塞拉利昂的孕产妇死亡率和婴儿死亡率在全球范围内属于较高水平。我们分享了 2021 年由塞拉利昂政府与 Seed Global Health 合作进行的助产士临床培训需求评估的结果。该评估从不同利益攸关方的角度确定了塞拉利昂卫生机构助产士临床培训中现有的需求和差距。
该描述性需求评估采用了混合方法,包括调查、焦点小组讨论(FGD)、访谈以及对产妇病历的审查。
以下是分娩和分娩管理、记录保存、分诊流程、学生、应届毕业生和导师的临床教育以及基础设施和资源缺乏方面的需求和差距。
从这项需求评估中获得的知识可以进一步推动塞拉利昂和其他面临类似挑战的低收入国家的助产士临床培训计划的发展。我们讨论了我们研究结果的意义。
