Summary

Using a public health facility Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana the overall goal of the research is to examine: 1) the feasibility of implementing respectful care modules (RMC-M) in Kumasi, Ghana; 2) whether exposure to RMC-M increases participants perception of respectful maternity care in a public hospital setting in Ghana; and 3) the efficacy of RMC-M in changing midwives' attitudes, behaviors and clinical practice patterns. To achieve Aim 1, qualitative and quantitative study designs will be used to assess for reliability of implementation, usefulness, and patient responsiveness. Based on data collected, feasibility will be examined and the RMC-M will be further modified as needed prior to beginning Aim 2. To achieve Aim 2, a two group study design will be used, with one group of midwives receiving training on the RMC- M and the other not receiving any training. Participants receiving care from these two groups of midwives will be followed through intrapartum and surveyed postpartum to examine their perceptions of the care they received. To achieve Aim 3, a pre-post study design will examine whether expose to a RMC-M changes midwives' attitudes, behaviors, and clinical care of participants during labor and delivery.
