“…De même que le bébé est perçu comme un corps coulant à l'issue de sa naissance, de même le corps de l'accouchée est considéré comme altéré et souillé par son accouchement. Durant la période de marge (Damus, 2012, la mère est donc soumise à des thérapies purificatrices et réparatrices afin de la rendre apte à la reprise des activités sexuelles et de l'agréger à sa communauté sociolinguistico-épistémique 11 . Par exemple, l'absorption d'une tisane spécifique et du bebelis lui permet de réparer son corps (reconstruction du vagin ouvert par la naissance du bébé, réparation des muscles du ventre, rééquilibration de la température du corps par l'évacuation du froid 12 incorporé pendant et après l'accouchement…) et de se purifier en se débarrassant des lochies (écoulements sanguins impurs) durant les quatre premiers jours suivant la naissance.…”

Découvert par hasard lors d'un atelier de dialogue local avec des titulaires de savoirs du Sud sur des thèmes divers, le bebelis est un médicament traditionnel utilisé par des femmes rurales en Haïti pour traiter des problèmes de santé rencontrés lors de la période des menstruations, de grossesse et après l'accouchement. Les propriétés multiples de ce médicament féminin (purificatrices, réparatrices, embellificatrices, menstrogènes, etc.) en font un produit d'une importance inestimable dans les communautés rurales peu ou non biomédicalisées. Quand, comment et pourquoi de nombreuses femmes rurales l'utilisent-elles ? Quelles sont les représentations populaires du corps féminin explicatives des usages du bebelis ? L'objectif principal de cet article est de décrire, dans la perspective de l'anthropologie des médicaments traditionnels, les propriétés de ce phytomédicament Mots-clés : Bebelis, médicament traditionnel, titulaires de savoirs du Sud, problèmes de santé, femmes rurales.

“…Gen fanm ki fè plis pase dis pitit lakay yo san yo pa t janm pran medikaman yon fwa pou te soulaje doulè akouchman an. Lè y'ap rakonte esperyans akouchman yo, yo pa menm fasil pale sou doulè si ou pa poze yo kesyon sou sa, daprè ankèt tèren nou yo (Damus, 2012(Damus, , 2017(Damus, , 2021. Nan yon kontèks sosyal kote pa gen sekirite materyèl ak medikal (nan sans modèn mo sa yo), kominote yo kreye on seri valè ak nòm pou fè fanm yo asepte doulè akouchman tankou yon bagay ki pa bezwen tretman medikal.…”

Fanm lavil ki ale akouche andeyò pou zafè pa bon ak fanm andeyò ki akouche lakay yo jere doulè akouchman san yo pa pran medikaman. Anpil nan fanm sa yo se potestan yo ye. Gen ladan yo tou ki se vodouyizan. Menmsi yo pa vodouyizan, gen nan yo ki konn fè rele ongan oubyen manbo lè yo santi doulè akouchman an pa yon bagay ki nòmal. Nosyon akouchman san doulè pa egziste pou anpil fanm andeyò, sitou pou sa ki pa gen mwayen yo. Anpil ladan yo fè nenpòt dis timoun lakay yo. Matwòn yo ede fanm sa yo jere doulè yo san yo pa itilize medikaman. Gen anpil nan fanm sa yo ki te akouche lakay yo, paske al akouche lopital potko alamòd. Genyen ki prefere akouche lakay yo malgre gon lopital ki rele Mache Kabrit ki pa twò lwen yo, yon lopital ki bay fanm ki ap akouche peridiral pou redui doulè yo, daprè sa yon matwòn Benè te di nou. Nan atik sa a, nou dekri kijan matwòn ak fanm yo jere doulè akouchman lakay ; nou bay rezon ki koz anpil fanm rete akouche lakay yo andeyò epi nou eseye konprann ki sans yo bay doulè yo ak benefis siko-espirityèl yo jwenn ladan.Mo kle : Doulè akouchman andeyò, fanm andeyò, matwòn, benefis siko-espirityèl.

“…These relationships and their engrained roles in the community allow them to provide culturally acceptable services that are in closer proximity to pregnant women 19. Performing what can be viewed as protective rituals for mother and child,19 20 they further represent a nexus of herbal, childbirth ritual and spiritual knowledge 11 21. For instance, matrones have specialized knowledge of plants that can help the uterus contract or help women express breastmilk.…”

Reframing the Three Delays framework: factors influencing referrals to facilities by matrones in rural Haiti

In Haiti, there has been limited research on the experiences of traditional birth attendants/matrones when they decide to refer and accompany pregnant women to the facility for giving birth. Understanding this contextualised experience could help to strengthen programming aimed at improving maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) outcomes in rural Haiti. This paper describes the qualitative findings from seven focus group discussions (FGDs) with matrones regarding their experience of referring pregnant women to facilities in Haiti’s Central Plateau. Each FGD was conducted in Haitian Kreyol and audio recorded. Recordings were transcribed, translated to English, and thematically analysed. A conceptual model visualising factors influencing matrone decision-making was then developed using an adapted version of the Three Delays framework. Findings from this study show that matrones face a complex, multilayered web of intertwining factors related to attitudes and beliefs around their role, resource availability, and perceptions around quality of care and treatment. Each factor corresponds to a delay in the Three Delays framework. The factors can occur at the same time or each can occur individually at different times, and influence the decision to refer. The complexity of factors identified reflects the need to reassess the Three Delays framework so that it accounts for the intertwining, cyclical complexities faced by those trying to access the facility amidst the backdrop of both time and the community/social contexts. Results further reflect the need for strengthened health systems that better facilitate matrone facility-based referrals, improving outcomes for all parties involved and bridging the gap between homes/ communities and facilities. This calls for better integration of the matrones into the formal health system to systematically strengthen the continuum of MNCH health services provided from home to facility.
