ASEAN Institute for Health DevelopmentA cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the intention of midwives to use basic ANC practice guidelines in the Palembang district of Indonesia and to examine factors related to the intention. Using stratified sampling, 144 midwives were sampled from randomly selected community health centers and two public hospitals. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire during January and February, 2011. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression (MLR) were used to identify factors related to the intention of midwives. Fifty-two percent of the midwives were between 40 and 59 years old and 70% had worked in maternity divisions for less than 17 years. As for in-service training experience, 58% had not had any antenatal care training. Most of the midwives (58.3%) had high intentions to use the basic ANC practice guidelines. By MLR, years of work and attitudes towards the use of the basic ANC practice guidelines each had a statistically significant association with the midwives’ intention regarding use of the basic ANC practice guidelines. Midwives having positive attitudes were three times more likely to have high intentions than those having negative attitudes (Adj OR= 2.88, 95% CI=1.09 – 7.65) when adjusting for other factors in the model. New staff members should be frequently trained to promote positive attitudes towards the use of the basic ANC practice guidelines which enable midwives to detect early complications in pregnancyPublication Open Access Efficacy of a church-based lifestyle intervention programme to control high normal blood pressure and/or high normal blood glucose in church members: a randomized controlled trial in Pretoria, South Africa(2014) Supa Pengpid; Peltzer, Karl; Skaal, Linda; Hendry Van der Heever; Mahidol University.
