Background:
Anemia is a global maternal health problem that commonly occurs in developing countries. During pregnancy, a woman will receive antenatal services to check her condition and prevent complications. This study aimed to explore barriers towards achieving eradication of iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women in Aceh Besar District, Indonesia.
Methods:
This qualitative study was conducted on 18 health workers who were recruited through a purposive sampling method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using open-ended questions to gain insight about participants' experiences in managing iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women. Data analysis was conducted by an inductive content analysis method to evaluate, encode, and analyze the interview's result.
Result:
Three main themes emerged: (1) facilities, infrastructures, and supplement support; (2) sociocultural factors; and (3) health provider competency deficits and no developing guidelines.
Conclusion:
Our findings provide understanding that there are many obstacles and barriers encountered by health workers in iron deficiency anemia prevention management. Thus, the management of anemia must be supported by a skilled health worker and quality facilities. Health workers and pregnant women must work together to achieve optimal management of anemia prevention.
There may be numerous situations that challenge the communication skill competency of newly graduated nurses in the Pediatric unit. Newly qualified nurses employed in a specialized unit like Pediatrics need effective communication skill training because of the complexity of dealing with both a desperate, dedicated parent and a child with medical needs. The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate a communication skill training program for new graduate nurses in dealing with clinical communication challenges in the General Pediatric units. Purposive sampling was used for the recruitment of the participants. A two-day communication skill workshop was conducted using (1) brief presentations; (2) video on effective communication skills; (3) small group experiential learning using role play simulation based on real clinical experiences of participants; and (4) debriefing. Participants completed questionnaire after the workshop. Thirty-two participants completed the two-day workshop. The questionnaire response shows that the training was useful, would be helpful for their daily pediatric nursing practice and would recommend the training to Pediatric staff. Qualitative feedback was greatly positive. Overall the communication skill workshop is highly valued by the participants in improving confidence in communication skills.
