The Maternal and Neonatal Health Surveillance Officer and the Public Health Center of Purwoyoso build the android application. This application aims to help pregnant women recognize their pregnancy health thereby can improve the pregnant women’s four-visit antenatal care coverage. This case study described the dimensions supporting and inhibiting pregnant women in the Puskesmas Purwoyoso work area conducted on August-November 2019. The informants of the research consisted of 42 pregnant women. Data collection was conducted using interviews and observation techniques. The instrument used was an interview guide, recorder, and observation sheet. The result of the research showed the factors supporting healthcare service in Semarang area, Semarang Health Office always monitoring the condition of pregnant women through the result of examination on pregnant women facilitation in the application, updating pregnancy article, making innovation of application to facilitate pregnant women in accessing and using the application. Puskesmas Purwoyoso promotes the application when pregnant women have their pregnancy examined in Puskesmas and the implementation of pregnant women class. The Maternal and Neonatal Health Surveillance Officer promotes the application when visiting the pregnant women’s house for facilitating the pregnant women. This application has an advantage over other pregnancy application so that pregnant women Puskesmas Purwoyoso work area can get many benefits. Inhibiting factor includes the highland condition of residence, pregnant women having no android smartphone and memory data of smartphone android of pregnant women has been full.

Background Despite greater emphasis on maternal and neonatal health through policy and programming in Nepal, maternal and neonatal health is still not impressive. Health care providers’ knowledge assessment on maternal and neonatal care has been well documented elsewhere, but it is very little understood in Nepal.Objective The primary objective of this study was to assess the critical knowledge of primary level nurse- midwives on maternal and newborn care in Kapilvastu District of Nepal.Method This was an Institution based cross-sectional study, conducted in Kapilvastu district, Nepal among sixty eight nurse-midwives. The participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. For collecting the data, health institutions were visited by enumerators for a month from 1st October to 1st November 2012. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 17.0.Result More than 3/4th of the nurse-midwives had 10-20 years of experience. Majority of them (89.7%) had poor knowledge in taking action to prevent mother to child transmission for HIV positive women. More than half of them (54.4%) had some knowledge in performing the active management of third stage of labor whereas almost half (51.5%) had poor knowledge to actions needed on post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). Similarly, more than two third (69.1%) had poor knowledge in newborn care.Conclusion Majority of the nurse-midwives were found to have either poor or some level of knowledge in most of the components of maternal and newborn care services. So, greater emphasis should be given to upgrade the knowledge of nurse mid-wives.

Abstract Background Mobile technology is increasingly important for delivering public health interventions to remote populations. This research study developed, piloted, and assessed a serious game for mobile devices that teaches geohazard, maternal, and neonatal health messages. This unique mHealth intervention aimed at low-literacy audiences in low resource settings is part of the Maternal and Neonatal Technologies in Rural Areas (MANTRA) project: Increasing maternal and child health resilience before, during, and after disasters using mobile technology in Nepal. Specifically, we assess impact of the serious game to improve knowledge gain in our target audience. Methods Co-creation with the MANTRA team and local stakeholders in Nepal identified core needs, developed appropriate pictograms and mechanics, and tailored the pilot game to the local cultural context. Through picture matching with immediate audio and visual feedback, the game teaches 28 learning objectives in three modules: maternal health, neonatal health, and geohazards. To assess the game, 35 participants were recruited in Kathmandu and villages in Kavre district. Sessions consisted of pre-test assessment, playing the game, post-test assessment, and a focus group to elicit qualitative feedback. Results The knowledge assessment quantified knowledge gain. Overall, the group averaged a normalized 6.8 point improvement (p = 0.000022). Change in the geohazard module was 9.5 points (p = 0.001), followed by maternal health (7.4 points, p = 0.007), and neonatal health (4.3 points, p = 0.83). Four learning objectives had statistically significant change (p < 0.05). Feedback demonstrated high engagement, motivation, and usability of the game. Conclusions This MANTRA study is a unique mhealth intervention of a serious game to teach core health and hazards messages to low-literacy audiences in rural Nepal. The pilot intervention demonstrated statistically significant knowledge improvement among participants. Key messages The pilot MANTRA mobile serious game intervention is a novel idea, to bring public health knowledge to difficult to reach vulnerable populations, including often ignored illiterate audiences. The pilot MANTRA mobile serious game intervention demonstrated a statistically significant knowledge improvement of geohazard, maternal, and neonatal health learning objectives among participants.
