Abstract

Using the Quality Maternal and Newborn Care Framework to evaluate women's experiences of different models of care: a qualitative study

Impact of nurse staffing on reducing infant, neonatal and perinatal mortality rates: Evidence from panel data analysis in 35 OECD countries

“…In response to shortages of practicing nurses and physicians to ensure proper care delivery and to enhance the quality of newborn care in health facilities, it is critical for governments, policy makers and researchers to look for more efficient care services aimed to advance the health level of mothers and newborns [ 4 ]. To do this, the first step is to estimate the impact of nurse staffing on improving newborn health outcomes among different health care systems of developed countries [ 5 ].…”

Evaluation of a regional midwifery caseload model of care integrated across five birthing sites in South Australia: Women’s experiences and birth outcomes

“…The evaluation of the MMoC was a pragmatic 18-month evaluation in regional SA that simultaneously assessed the implementation of the model and examined the clinical and broader consumer and workforce outcomes. In designing the women's survey we assessed key care components of the QMNC framework [10,17,18] and as have been posited as a framework against which midwifery care should be evaluated [19]. These included questions around organisation of care, values (i.e.…”

“…In Allen's [11] study, midwives working within continuity models were more likely to go above and beyond, as the model provided the context for developing an authentic therapeutic relationship with women at the centre of care. In a QMNC Framework study comparing women's experiences of different models of care, it was the relational and continuity aspects of care that were most emphasised in the midwifery caseload model of care [18]. As previously pointed out, continuity is only one characteristic of the organisation of care component of the QMNC Framework, however it is critical in enabling women and midwives to foster connections across the maternity and newborn care spectrum [10].…”

Transforming the Quality Maternal Newborn Care Framework into an index to measure the quality of maternity care

“…31 A distinct advantage of the QMNCFi is that it reflects a global synthesis of the evidence from the Framework, and is, in theory at least, applicable globally. 1 Following the Framework's successful adaptation as a qualitative data collection tool, [8][9][10][11][12][13] this paper reports its transformation into a survey instrument -the QMNC Framework index (QMNCFi). Our intention was to produce an instrument that can be used in a wide variety of settings.…”
