Response to COVID-19: Clients' perspectives on the utilization of reproductive, maternal and child health care services in Nigeria
<p>This dataset was a part of a cross-sectional descriptive study in 320 rural communities in 32 Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and 9 out of the 36 Nigerian States in 2020. The dataset contains views of women who used primary health care centres in the selected LGAs for maternal and child health care, and family planning services before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Nigeria. The sample size was determined using the Yamane sample size formula. The estimated sample size per State was 384 (3,840 for nine States and FCT), with a 10% adjustment for non-response, the total sample size was 422 per State or location (4220 for the nine States and FCT). The data are stored in SPSS format. <br> The study was an initiative of UNFPA Nigeria. They coordinated it under the One UN Basket fund to respond to COVID-19 and implemented it under the supervision of three national NGOs: The Women’s Health and Action Research Centre (WHARC), Education as a Vaccine (EVA), and the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN). </p> <p> </p>

A Double-Edged Sword: Parental care increases risk of offspring infection by a maternally-vectored parasite
<p>Parental care can protect offspring from predators but can also create opportunities for parents to vector parasites to their offspring. We hypothesized that the risk of infection by maternally-vectored parasites would increase with the frequency of mother-offspring contact. Ammophila spp. wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) build nests in which they rear single offspring. Ammophila species exhibit varied offspring provisioning behaviors: some species enter the nest once to provision a single, large caterpillar, whereas others enter the nest repeatedly to provision with many smaller caterpillars. We hypothesized that each nest visit increases the risk of offspring parasitism by Paraxenos lugubris (Strepsiptera: Xenidae), whose infectious stages ride on the mother wasp (phoresy) to reach the vulnerable Ammophila offspring. We quantified parasitism risk by external examination of museum-curated Ammophila specimens—the anterior portion of P. lugubris protrudes between the adult host's abdominal sclerites and reflects infection during the larval stage. As predicted, Ammophila species that receive larger numbers of provisions incur greater risks of parasitism, with nest provisioning behavior explaining ca. 90% of the interspecific variation in mean parasitism. These findings demonstrate that parental care can augment, rather than reduce, risk of parasite transmission to offspring.</p>
Genotypic sex shapes maternal care in the African Pygmy mouse, Mus minutoides
<p><span>Sexually dimorphic behaviours, such as parental care, have long been thought to be </span><span>mainly</span><span> driven by gonadal hormones. In the past two decades, a few studies have challenged this view, highlighting the direct influence of the sex chromosome complement (XX vs XY or ZZ vs ZW). The African pygmy mouse, </span><span>Mus minutoides</span><span>, is a wild mouse species with naturally occurring XY sex reversal induced by a third, feminizing X* chromosome, leading to three female genotypes: XX, XX* and X*Y. Here, we show that sex reversal in X*Y females shapes a divergent maternal care strategy (maternal aggression, pup retrieval and nesting behaviours) from both XX and XX* females. Although neuroanatomical investigations were inconclusive, we show that the dopaminergic system in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus is worth investigating further as it may support differences in pup retrieval behaviour between females. Combining </span><span>behaviours</span><span> and neurobiology in a rodent subject to natural selection, we evaluate potential candidates for the neural basis of maternal behaviours and strengthen the underestimated role of the sex chromosomes in shaping sex differences in brain and behaviours. All things considered, we further highlight the emergence of a third sexual phenotype, challenging the binary view of phenotypic sexes.</span></p>

Assessing the Nature and Quality of Emergency Obstetric Care for Preventing Maternal and Perinatal Mortality in 8 Secondary and Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria: Results of a Formative Research Study
<p>Nigeria suffers some of the highest rates of maternal and perinatal mortality in the world. Poor quality of obstetric care is a key factor, and although not quantified at a national level, local studies suggest that high rates of maternal and perinatal deaths are due to clinical management errors in hospitals. This project therefore explored the nature of existing practices and quality of clinical management of three leading causes of maternal and perinatal deaths (primary postpartum haemorrhage, eclampsia, and obstructed labour); implement an intervention package aimed at improving the quality of clinical management of these causes of deaths; and test the effectiveness of this package on quality of care indicators and maternal and perinatal outcomes. </p> <p>The study follows a quasi-experimental research design, using interrupted time series analysis for assessment over a three year period. Six public secondary care hospitals and two public tertiary care hospitals in both north and south of Nigeria were selected randomly. Formative research was conducted in all eight hospitals, and thereafter the intervention will be carried out in four hospitals, with the remaining four hospitals functioning as control sites. </p> <p>Clinical outcomes will be compared between intervention and control sites in a total of 2334 cases of PPH, preeclampsia/eclampsia and obstructed labour (based on an anticipated 50% reduction in case fatality rates, significance level of 0.05 and 80% power). This will consist of 1167 cases in the intervention sites and 1167 in the control sites. Maternal and perinatal mortality rates will serve as primary outcome measures. Secondary outcomes involve quality of care drawn from United Nations process indicators, skilled attendance index and data derived from this formative audit phase of the project.</p> <p>The results will enable the identification of a system-wide quality of care framework for improving the delivery of emergency obstetric care for the prevention of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in Nigeria.</p>

Triparental ageing in a laboratory population of an insect with maternal care
<p>Parental age at reproduction influences offspring size and survival by affecting pre- and postnatal conditions in a wide variety of species, including humans. However, most investigations into this manifestation of ageing focus upon maternal age effects; the effects of paternal age and interactions between maternal and paternal age are often neglected. Furthermore, even when maternal age effects are studied, pre- and postnatal effects are often confounded. Using a cross-fostered experimental design, we investigated the joint effects of prenatal paternal and maternal and postnatal maternal ages on five traits related to offspring outcomes in a laboratory population of a species of burying beetle, <em>Nicrophorus vespilloides</em>. We found a significant positive effect of the age of the egg producer on larval survival to dispersal. We found more statistical evidence for interaction effects, which acted on larval survival and egg length. Both interaction effects were negative and involved the age of the egg-producer, indicating that age-related prenatal maternal improvements were mitigated by increasing age in fathers and foster mothers. These results agree with an early study that found little evidence for maternal senescence, but it emphasizes that parental age interactions may be an important contributor to ageing patterns. We discuss how the peculiar life history of this species may promote selection to resist the evolution of parental age effects, and how this might have influenced our ability to detect senescence.</p>
Maternity uncertainty in cobreeding beetles: females lay more and larger eggs and provide less care
<p>Cobreeding, which occurs when multiple females breed together, is likely to be associated with uncertainty over maternity of offspring in the joint brood, preventing females from directing resources towards their own offspring. Cobreeding females may respond to such uncertainty by shifting their investment towards the stages of offspring development when they are certain of maternity and away from those stages where uncertainty is greater. Here we examined how uncertainty of maternity influences investment decisions of cobreeding females by comparing cobreeding and single breeding females in the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides; a species in which females can breed together on a single carcass but cannot recognise their own offspring. We found that cobreeding females shifted investment towards the egg stage of offspring development by laying more and larger eggs than females breeding alone. Furthermore, cobreeding females reduced their investment to post-hatching care of larvae by spending less time providing care than females breeding alone. We show that females can respond to the presence of a competitor by shifting allocation towards egg laying and away from post-hatching care, thereby directing resources to their own offspring. Our results demonstrate that responses to parentage uncertainty are not restricted to males, but that, unlike males, females respond by shifting their investment to different components of reproduction within a single breeding attempt. Such flexibility may allow individuals to cope with a variety of negative social or physical environments</p>

Training of maternity service providers on supportive and dignified maternity care: pre-post training assessment
<p>Poor psychosocial support and lack of respectful care for women during childbirth are commonplace in health facilities in low- and middle-income countries. While WHO recommends providing supportive care to pregnant women, there is a scarcity of material for building the capacity of maternity staff to provide systematic and inclusive psychosocial support to women in the intrapartum phase and prevent work stress and burnout in maternity teams. To address this need we adapted WHO's mhGAP and its training manual for maternity care staff to provide psychosocial support in labour room settings. Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) is an evidence-based intervention which focuses on providing psychosocial support to people with mental, neurological and substance-use disorders (MNS).</p> <p>The objective of this paper is to describe the adaptation of mhGAP to develop psychosocial support-capacity-building materials for maternity staff to provide support to maternity patients, and also to staff, in the labour room.</p> <p>Adaptation was conducted within the Human-Centered Design framework in three phases: inspiration, ideation, and implementation feasibility. In the inspiration phase, a review of national-level maternity service-delivery documents and formative study via in-depth interviews of maternity staff were conducted. Ideation involved a multidisciplinary team to develop capacity-building materials by adapting mhGAP. This phase was iterative and included cycles of pretesting with staff, deliberations among the core team, and revision of materials. In the implementation feasibility phase, materials were tested via the training of 98 maternity staff and exploring system feasibility via post-training visits to health facilities.</p> <p>The inspiration phase identified gaps in policy directives and implementation. A formative study found that staff lacked the understanding and skills to assess patients' psychosocial needs and provide appropriate support. Allied with this, it became evident that maternity staff themselves needed psychosocial support. In ideation, the team developed capacity-building materials comprising two modules: one dedicated to conceptual understanding, and the other to implementing psychosocial support in collaboration with maternity staff. In the implementation feasibility phase, Staff found the materials relevant, acceptable and feasible for the labour room setting. Finally, users and experts reviewed and endorsed the relevance and usefulness of the materials. </p> <p>Our work in developing psychosocial-support training materials for maternity staff extends the utility of mhGAP by building the capacity of maternity staff to identify specific, hitherto-neglected needs of patients and staff, and by supporting, respectively, pregnant women to have positive birthing experiences, and maternity staff to manage workplace stress and avoid burnout. These materials can be used in a similar maternity setting after cultural adaptation.</p>
