Abstract
Quality Assessment of PMTCT Data Documentation among User and Non-User Data Clerks in a Nigerian PMTCT Program
Highlights
High-quality routine data is needed to track progress and identify gaps in national PMTCT programs
In many resourcelimited settings like Nigeria, the quality of data obtained from health facilities (HFs) has been poor
Data quality of Mother-Infant pair (MIP) records was assessed by type of data clerk (DC) (User vs Non-User) documenting the data
Summary
Annals of Global Health, VOL. 83, NO. 1, 2017 January eF ebruary 2 0 1 7 : 1 8 – 5 8. A study conducted by BIPAI five years after program implementation found that 11% of physicians reported feelings of depression during and after their placements. Contributing factors to these feelings have been identified as dealing with large-scale death encountered in resource-limited areas (RLAs), long work hours in countries with a lack of trained, local medical professionals, and adapting to a new culture in both work and social settings. In response to the study findings, Pedi-HIV sought to improve the pre and in-service trainings provided to physicians serving in global locations.
