“…Several studies have indicated that counseling can significantly improve mothers’ satisfaction with overall maternal functioning. 62 , 63 Prenatal counseling has been identified as a major determinant of satisfaction, as it is critical for a woman’s understanding of her health condition and her overall satisfaction with maternal health care. 64 Additionally, individual counseling by healthcare providers during pregnancy has been linked to positive attitudes toward childbirth and informed decision-making, which can contribute to higher satisfaction among mothers.…”

Background Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is a comprehensive intervention aimed at reducing vertical transmission. More than 90% of pediatric AIDS cases are caused by MTCT. However, the quality of care has lagged in terms of service integration, client satisfaction, and facility readiness, although improvements have been observed. Evidence on the quality of PMTCT services is required by clinicians, and policymakers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PMTCT services provided by public health facilities in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at nine public health facilities in Gondar city between June 1 and July 17, 2022. A total of 334 mothers were participated. The Structure-Process-Outcome components were used to evaluate service quality. About 135 counseling sessions were observed. The SPSS 26 software was used for statistical analyses. To identify mothers’ satisfaction with the service, P-values < 0.25, and < 0.05 were considered in the binary and multiple logistic regression analyses to identify significant variables, respectively. Results The overall performance of the health facilities was 74.09% (72.19–76.01 CI 95%). In 88.89% of cases, the output quality was higher and rated as good. However, the quality of the input and process services was 60.40% and 72.97%, respectively. Women’s satisfaction was 67.09%. Women aged 15–24 years (AOR= 0.31; 95% CI:0.06, 0.79), formally educated (AOR=0.59; 95% CI:0.35, 0.67), > one hour of arrival (AOR=0.71; 95% CI:0.55, 0.93), > 30 minutes waiting time (AOR=0.23; 95% CI:0.11, 0.37), sufficient time for counseling (AOR=2.83; 95% CI:1.72, 3.97), and opening hours (AOR=4.27; 95% CI:2.09, 6.67) were factors associated with satisfaction in women. Conclusion The quality of PMTCT service provision and mothers’ satisfaction were low. Reducing waiting time, punctuality of service providers, adequate counselling, and availability of basic resources can boost mothers’ satisfaction.

Objectives: Postpartum services are the most important factor in preventing unwanted maternal and neonatal outcomes. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and the stress associated with the risk of infection, one way to improve midwifery services in the postpartum period and reduce unwanted maternal and neonatal outcomes is the participatory care model. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of the participatory care model on quality of life and performance in the postpartum period. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 200 women in the third trimester of pregnancy living in Bojnourd, Iran in 2020. Health-promoting interventions, including self-care training based on the participatory care model, were performed in four sessions for mothers, spouses, and their supporters. Quality of life and postpartum performance questionnaires were completed two and eight weeks after delivery. Results: Mean quality of life in two weeks after delivery in the intervention and standard care groups were 115.5 and 114.7, respectively, and in the eight weeks after delivery were 121.0 and 116.8, respectively. Mean postpartum performance life in two weeks after delivery in the intervention and standard care groups were 74.7 and 73.6, respectively, and in the eight weeks after were 81.7 and 75.8, respectively. The results of repeated-measure analysis of variance showed that the intervention group had higher quality of life and performance scores than the standard care group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The participatory care model can effectively improve the quality of life and performance of mothers, and we recommend its use.

Background: The postpartum period is a challenging time for mothers, in which the quality of life (QOL) is an important indicator of health. Assessing the factors related to postpartum QOL (PQOL) can provide a holistic approach to health programs from an individual to a macro level. This study identified predictive factors for PQOL among Iranian postpartum women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using demographic, obstetric, and PQOL questionnaires on 236 postpartum women. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The results identified education level, delivery method (p< 0.05), planned pregnancy, and sufficient family income (p< 0.001) as the four factors associated with PQOL. In addition, adequate family income was identified as a predictor of PQOL (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Given that mothers' health helps to ensure the health of their families and communities, they should be classified according to PQOL predictors and matched with appropriate health programs to provide a high-quality postpartum period.
