“…Family planning was an education topic of our community outreach program for the nurses as well as the women, which resulted in the largest increase in nurse confidence and satisfaction [8]. Health professionals with high confidence in family planning may have helped Ethiopian women to use contraceptives.…”

We examined the effects of a community outreach program for maternal health in Tigray, Ethiopia, on women's knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum care, and family planning, and assessed their participation in antenatal care, postpartum checkups, institutional childbirth, and contraceptive use. Methods: We recruited Ethiopian women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years) in Tigray, Ethiopia. Two villages in Tigray, Kihen and Mesanu, which have similar population sizes and living environments, were chosen as the intervention and comparison groups, respectively. A two-group pretest-posttest design with cluster sampling was employed. We conducted self-report questionnaire surveys using face-to-face interviews. The 2.5-year community outreach program was developed based on Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory. It consisted of mass media use and health education for lay women in the community, along with training of health care providers, including nurses, midwives, and health extension workers, in maternal health care. Results: The intervention group showed significant increases in knowledge and behaviors regarding maternal health and family planning compared to the comparison group (p < .001). In particular, there was a dramatic increase from 10.8% to 93.5% in the institutional birth rate in the intervention group. Conclusion:The community outreach program and health care professional training effectively improved knowledge and behaviors regarding maternal health in Ethiopian women. Mass media and interpersonal communication channels for health education may be useful health interventions in developing countries.

“…As such, there has been a steady effort to achieve health equity [ 6 ]. The Republic of Korea (ROK) also launched the Korea International Cooperation Agency in 1998 [ 7 ], which engages in international technological and policy exchanges and dispatches the “ROK overseas emergency rescue team” in response to disasters [ 8 ]. In addition, Ethiopia has been designated as one of the least developed countries by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development/Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC, 2014–2017) and has attracted much attention as a target country for healthcare outreach [ 4 ].…”

Background: The number of international healthcare volunteers in low-income countries that need trained human resources has been increasing. However, migrating to a foreign country requires adapting to its environment and culture. The purpose of this study was to explore the international healthcare volunteers’ experiences in Ethiopia in building relationships with local healthcare providers. Methods: Six participants were enrolled in the study, and data were collected through individual in-depth interviews conducted between September and October 2018. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. Results: Ten subthemes emerged from five themes: “facing new situations”, “accepting myself as an outsider in Ethiopia”, “impact on the wall of prejudice”, “adapting to a new culture”, and “positive outlook”. Conclusions: This study shows that international healthcare volunteers in Ethiopia experienced challenges in building relationships with local healthcare providers due to linguistic and cultural gaps. Nevertheless, they strived to accept the culture and play their part as helpers in providing healthcare services.
