Short Summary of the Article:

The article “Factors Influencing Postpartum Hemorrhage Detection and Management and the Implementation of a New Postpartum Hemorrhage Care Bundle (E-MOTIVE) in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa” explores the causes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which remains the leading cause of maternal deaths, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The study looks at the implementation challenges and enablers for a new care bundle designed to improve the detection and management of PPH. It identified a range of individual, socio-cultural, and systemic factors that hinder or facilitate effective care. This research applies the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Wheel to identify key influences on PPH care, from lack of training to shortages of drugs and other resources.

Learning Outcomes 

Upon completion of this activity, you should have an understanding of:

1. The primary challenges in PPH detection and management in low-resource settings: Understanding how resource shortages, inadequate training, and socio-cultural factors hinder the implementation of evidence-based practices.
2. The E-MOTIVE bundle for PPH care: Learning the steps of the new PPH care bundle and how it aims to improve rapid detection and management of hemorrhage.
3. Behavioral interventions for improving PPH outcomes: Gaining insights into the necessary educational and systemic interventions that can enhance the uptake of new care practices.
