Abstract
In Mexico, over the last decade, more non-physician medical professionals have been participating in birth care according to recent federal regulations. So far, very few sites have been able to implement birth care models where midwives and obstetric nurses participate. We describe the experience of a group of intern obstetric nurses participating in a model that provides respectful birth care to rural populations, managed by an international NGO in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Chiapas, Mexico. We conducted a case study including individual interviews and focus group discussions with obstetric nurse interns participating in the Compañeros En Salud programme over four years from 2016 to 2019. We applied targeted content analysis to the qualitative data. There were 28 participants from 4 groups of interns. Informants expressed their opinions in four areas: (a) training as a LEO, (b) training experience at CES, (c) LEO role in health care delivery; and (d) LEOs' perspectives about respectful maternity care. Interns identified gaps in their training including a higher load of theoretical content vs practical experience, as well as little supervision of clinical care in public hospitals. Their adaptation to the health services model has increased over time, and recent classes acknowledge the difficulties that earlier ones had to confront, including the challenging interactions with hospital staff. Interns have incorporated the value of respectful birth care and their role to protect this right in rural populations. Findings could be useful to call for the expansion of the model in public birth centres.
在墨西哥,根据最近的联邦法规,在过去十年中,越来越多的非医生医疗专业人员参与了分娩护理。到目前为止,很少有机构能够实施助产士和产科护士参与的分娩护理模式。我们介绍了一群实习产科护士的经历,他们参与了一个由一个国际非政府组织与墨西哥恰帕斯州卫生部合作管理的为农村人口提供尊重生育护理的模式。我们在2016年至2019年的四年时间里,对参与Compañeros En Salud计划的产科护士实习生进行了一项案例研究,包括个人访谈和焦点小组讨论。我们对定性数据进行了有针对性的内容分析。共有来自4组实习生的28名参与者。举报人在四个领域表达了他们的意见:(a)作为LEO的培训,(b)在CES的培训经验,(c)LEO在提供医疗保健方面的作用;以及(d)低轨组织对尊重产妇护理的看法。实习生发现了他们培训中的差距,包括理论内容与实践经验的差距更大,以及公立医院对临床护理的监督很少。随着时间的推移,他们对医疗服务模式的适应程度有所提高,最近的课程承认了早期课程必须面对的困难,包括与医院工作人员的富有挑战性的互动。实习生融入了尊重生育的价值以及他们在保护农村人口这一权利方面的作用。研究结果可能有助于呼吁在公共生育中心扩大这一模式。
