“…The self-efficacy construct for instance, is an important construct for healthcare providers who believe that they cannot provide certain FP and MCH services adequately. Knowledge and confidence in using partograph, a basic component of managing labour in MCH services, was associated high utilization of partograph among healthcare providers [18–20]. …”

BackgroundAdolescent mothers are at a much higher risk for maternal mortality compared to mothers aged 20 years and above. Newborns born to adolescent mothers are also more likely to have low birth weight, with the risk of long-term effects such as early onset of adult diabetes than newborns of older mothers. Few studies have investigated the determinants of adequate quality maternal and child healthcare services to pregnant adolescents. This study was conducted to gain an understanding of nurses’ and midwives’ intentions to provide maternal and child healthcare and family planning services to adolescents in South Africa.MethodsA total of 190 nurses and midwives completed a cross-sectional survey. The survey included components on demographics, knowledge of maternal and child healthcare (MCH) and family planning (FP) services, attitude towards family planning services, subjective norms regarding maternal and child healthcare and family planning services, self-efficacy with maternal and child healthcare and family planning services, and intentions to provide maternal and child healthcare and family planning services to adolescents. Pearson’s correlation analysis was conducted to determine the association between knowledge, attitude, subjective norms, self-efficacy, and intention variables for FP and MCH services. A 2-step linear regression analysis was then conducted for both FP and MCH services to predict the intentions to provide FP and MCH services to adolescents.ResultsSelf-efficacy to conduct MCH services (β = 0.55, p < 0.01) and years of experience as a nurse- midwife (β = 0.14, p < 0.05) were associated with stronger intentions to provide the services. Self-efficacy to provide FP services (β = 0.30, p < 0.01) was associated with stronger intentions to provide FP services.ConclusionsSelf-efficacy has a strong and positive association with the intentions to provide both MCH and FP services, while there is a moderate association with attitude and norms. There is a need to improve and strengthen nurses’ and midwives’ self-efficacy in conducting both MCH and FP services in order to improve the quality and utilization of the services by adolescents in South Africa.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12913-016-1901-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…To overcome the under-utilization since the inception of partograph, several types of partograph have been developed in various countries to suit local needs 13 . But still use of partograph is not increasing satisfactorily 14. Despite more than 50 years of training and investments in the partograph in a low-resource setting, due to low rate of implementation and provider competencies it can be said that the paper partograph has failed practically to reach the potential of its original design i.e to provide an inexpensive and simple -early warning system‖ 15 for identifying complications during childbirth.…”

“…The results of a study conducted in Ethiopia stated that the use of partograf in monitor labor is very low at both the profession of midwifery, it is influenced by the attitudes and knowledge of health care personnel in the use of partograf, holding training for health care personnel would improve the quality of maternal use of partograf until the death of preventable early [20]. Based on some research, there were 36.4% of midwives, private practice (BPS) Member IBI (Bond Midwife Indonesia) North Surabaya branch obediently in front as well as rear fill partograf for each maternity patients.…”

Partograf is a record chart the progress of labor to monitor the State of mother and fetus as well as detect any abnormal childbirth and a guidance for doing surgical obstetrics. This research aims to prove the partograf based computer systems can be used as a tool of clinical decision-making, assessing the effectiveness of the difference and know the aspects of convenience, speed and relevance of the data on the partograf-based computer systems and conventional partograf in clinical decision-making in the process of childbirth. This research method using quasy alphabets experiment with comparative descriptive design, sampling by means of purposive sample amounted to 20 data inpartu mother by using computer-based partograf and mother inpartu 20 by using the partograf conventional (manual). Data analysis using univariate analysis and bivariat with Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the effectiveness on partograf-based computer system towards decision-making in the birthing clinic is to ease the median value aspect of 24, the median value of the speed aspect and the aspect of relevance the median value of 15 data, whereas in conventional partograf (manual) to the median value of the convenience aspect of 23, with the median value of the speed aspect and the relevance of the data with the median value of 13. The results of statistical tests by using test Mann Whitney p value obtained Value < 0.05 (a = 0.05 <). This means that there is a difference in the effectiveness of partograf-based computer systems and conventional partograf in clinical decision making. Thus it can be concluded that partograf-based computer systems more effectively used as a tool of decision-making clinic compared to the use of conventional partograf (manual).
