Brief Summary:
Effectiveness of interactive mobile health intervention (IMHI) to improve neonatal care practice among postpartum women in Dessie and Kombolcha town zones, north east Ethiopia: behavioral cluster randomized control trial.
Detailed Description:
The main aim of this study is to determine effectiveness of mobile health intervention to improve neonatal care practice among postpartum women in Dessie and Kombolcha town zones, North east Ethiopia. First participants will be grouped in to two arms based on randomization of clusters. The intervention arm will take the new intervention with existed health care practice and the control arm will take the existed current health care practice.
The intervention arm will receive sending message service (SMS) over a four month period (90 days pre-natal and 42 days post-partum) and the control arm will receive the existed health care practice. Participants in the intervention arm will receive mobile based health education and health communication messages as well as messages on neonatal care practice based on national maternal and child health care education and counseling guidelines. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned as intervention will receive sending message service from a trained professional; while participants assigned to control group will not receive phone based interventions but can contact their health care providers as routine health facility activity. Initially, study participants will receive one text message every two weeks with the frequency increasing to messages for 42 days following delivery.
Pregnant women with 26-28 weeks of gestation(based on world health organization eligibility criteria) will be recruited and baseline data will be collected at selected clusters. Women who will provide informed consent will be asked to complete a post-consent eligibility assessment including access to a mobile phone, and willingness to receive health messages on their mobile phone. Women who meet these eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study and administered the baseline interview. Intervention will be started among randomly selected clustered pregnant women at 30 weeks of gestation and continued up to 6 weeks of post par-tum period for 4 months. Three intervention worker female nurses/midwifes will be recruited and trained to do the intervention based on the protocol After this end line data will be collected from both intervention and control group.
