          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: Interpretar la experiencia de mujeres sobrevivientes y cuidadoras acerca de afrontar un evento de morbilidad materna extrema en la subregión del Urabá antioqueño, 2016. Metodología: Investigación narrativa autobiográfica, que busca reconstruir la experiencia mediante un proceso reflexivo. Se llevó a cabo un proceso de selección de mujeres sobrevivientes de morbilidad materna extrema y de cuidadoras de ellas, y para la construcción de las narrativas se efectuaron entrevistas conversacionales a profundidad. Los relatos fueron trascritos textualmente y se hizo un proceso interpretativo de estos con base en un instrumento que tiene en cuenta tres momentos miméticos fundados en la propuesta de Paul Ricoeur sobre el arco hermenéutico. Además, se tuvieron en cuenta las consideraciones éticas pertientes para este tipo de investigación. Resultados: La historia de sobrevivir a una morbilidad materna extrema en Urabá da sentido a la resignificación del cuidado humano y al reconocimiento de las capacidades humanas. Las mujeres que sobrevivieron a esta complicación y las cuidadoras consideran que el cuidado es determinante durante ella. Por otro lado, las condiciones familiares, sociales, culturales e históricas de Urabá limitan las posibilidades que las mujeres tienen para ser, actuar y decidir después de sobrevivir a una morbilidad materna extrema. Conclusiones: Con la emergencia de sentimientos de razón práctica, de afiliación y emociones en los relatos de sobrevivientes y cuidadoras, la experiencia de la morbilidad materna extrema, comprendida como un acontecimiento narrativo, se muestra de forma más rica y humana. El enfoque de las capacidades propuesto por Nussbaum posibilita valorar la calidad de vida, identificar limitaciones del entorno social para desplegarlas, develar ausencia de capacidades, desigualdad y desconocimiento de derechos. Se abre, así, una línea de estudio de historias de vida de morbilidad materna extrema desde una perspectiva ética y política de justicia social en salud.

          Resumo Objetivo: Interpretar a expertise das mulheres sobreviventes e as suas protetoras ao respeito de enfrentar um evento de morbidade materna ao estreme na sub-região do Urabá antioqueño, no ano de 2016. Metodologia: Investigação narrativa autobiográfica, que procura reconstruir o experiencial mediante um processo reflexivo. Se levou até o fim o processo de escolha das mulheres sobreviventes de morbidade materna no estreme e das suas protetoras, pra edificação das narrativas se efetuaram entrevistas conversacionais aprofundadas. Os relatórios foram transcritos textualmente e se fez o processo interpretativo destes baseados num instrumento que leva a sério três momentos miméticos fundados na proposta de Paul Ricoeur alusivos ao arco hermenêutico. Além disso, se deu grande relevo para as considerações éticas pertinentes para este jeito de investigação. Resultantes: A história do sobreviver duma morbimortalidade materna ao estreme no Urabá faz sentido na ressignificação da proteção ao ser humano e pro reconhecimento das capacidades humanas. Conclusões: Com a emergência dos sentimentos da razão prática, de afiliação e as emoções nos relatórios das sobreviventes e as suas protetoras, o experiencial da morbimortalidade materna ao estreme, aceita em quanto acontecimento narrativo, se mostra dum jeito mais humano e enriquecido. O foco dessas capacidades proposto por Nussbaum possibilita mensurar a qualidade de vida, identificar gargalos do redor social para desengasgar estes, desvelar a ausência das capacidades, inequidade e desconhecimento dos seus direitos. Abrindo, assim, una trilha pro estudo das histórias de vida na morbidade materna ao estreme desde uma visão ética e política de justiça social na saúde.

          Abstract Objective: To interpret the experience of women survivors and caregivers with regards to facing an event of extreme maternal morbidity in the subregion of Urabá, Antioquia 2016. Methodology: Autobiographical narrative research, which seeks to reconstruct the experience through a reflective process. A selection process was carried out for women survivors of extreme maternal morbidity and their caregivers, and in-depth conversational interviews were conducted for the construction of the narratives. The stories were transcribed textually and an interpretative process was made using an instrument that takes into account three mimetic moments based on Paul Ricoeur’s theory of the hermeneutic arc. Furthermore, ethical considerations relevant to this type of research were taken into account. Results: The story of surviving extreme maternal morbidity in Urabá gives meaning to the resignification of human care and the recognition of human capabilities. Conclusions: With the emergence of feelings of practical rationality, affiliation and emotions in the stories of survivors and caregivers, the experience of extreme maternal morbidity, understood as a narrative event, is shown in a richer and more humane way. The capabilities approach proposed by Nussbaum makes it possible to assess the quality of life, identify limitations of the social environment in order to unfold them, and reveal the absence of capabilities, inequality and ignorance of rights. This opens an area of study regarding life stories of extreme maternal morbidity from an ethical and political perspective of social justice in health.

          Maternal near miss--towards a standard tool for monitoring quality of maternal health care.

          Maternal mortality is still among the worst performing health indicators in resource-poor settings. For deaths occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to understand the processes of obstetric care in order to address any identified weakness or failure within the system and take corrective action. However, although a significant public health problem, maternal deaths are rare in absolute numbers especially within an individual facility. Studying cases of women who nearly died but survived a complication during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum (maternal near miss or severe acute maternal morbidity) are increasingly recognized as useful means to examine quality of obstetric care. Nevertheless, routine implementation and wider application of this concept in reviewing clinical care has been limited due to the lack of a standard definition and uniform case-identification criteria. WHO has initiated a process in agreeing on a definition and developing a uniform set of identification criteria for maternal near miss cases aiming to facilitate the reviews of these cases for monitoring and improving quality of obstetric care. A list of identification criteria was proposed together with one single definition. This article presents the proposed definition and the identification criteria of maternal near miss cases. It also suggests procedures to make maternal near miss audits operational in monitoring/evaluating quality of obstetric care. The practical implementation of maternal near miss concept should provide an important contribution to improving quality of obstetric care to reduce maternal deaths and improve maternal health.

            Delays in receiving obstetric care and poor maternal outcomes: results from a national multicentre cross-sectional study

            Background The vast majority of maternal deaths in low-and middle-income countries are preventable. Delay in obtaining access to appropriate health care is a fairly common problem which can be improved. The objective of this study was to explore the association between delay in providing obstetric health care and severe maternal morbidity/death. Methods This was a multicentre cross-sectional study, involving 27 referral obstetric facilities in all Brazilian regions between 2009 and 2010. All women admitted to the hospital with a pregnancy-related cause were screened, searching for potentially life-threatening conditions (PLTC), maternal death (MD) and maternal near-miss (MNM) cases, according to the WHO criteria. Data on delays were collected by medical chart review and interview with the medical staff. The prevalence of the three different types of delays was estimated according to the level of care and outcome of the complication. For factors associated with any delay, the PR and 95%CI controlled for cluster design were estimated. Results A total of 82,144 live births were screened, with 9,555 PLTC, MNM or MD cases prospectively identified. Overall, any type of delay was observed in 53.8% of cases; delay related to user factors was observed in 10.2%, 34.6% of delays were related to health service accessibility and 25.7% were related to quality of medical care. The occurrence of any delay was associated with increasing severity of maternal outcome: 52% in PLTC, 68.4% in MNM and 84.1% in MD. Conclusions Although this was not a population-based study and the results could not be generalized, there was a very clear and significant association between frequency of delay and severity of outcome, suggesting that timely and proper management are related to survival.

              Consequences of maternal mortality on infant and child survival: a 25-year longitudinal analysis in Butajira Ethiopia (1987-2011)

              Background Maternal mortality remains the leading cause of death and disability for reproductive-age women in resource-poor countries. The impact of a mother’s death on child outcomes is likely severe but has not been well quantified. This analysis examines survival outcomes for children whose mothers die during or shortly after childbirth in Butajira, Ethiopia. Methods This study uses data from the Butajira Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) site. Child outcomes were assessed using statistical tests to compare survival trajectories and age-specific mortality rates for children who did and did not experience a maternal death. The analyses leveraged the advantages of a large, long-term longitudinal dataset with a high frequency of data collection; but used a strict date-based method to code maternal deaths (as occurring within 42 or 365 days of childbirth), which may be subject to misclassification or recall bias. Results Between 1987 and 2011, there were 18189 live births to 5119 mothers; and 73 mothers of 78 children died within the first year of their child’s life, with 45% of these (n=30) classified as maternal deaths due to women dying within 42 days of childbirth. Among the maternal deaths, 81% of these infants also died. Children who experienced a maternal death within 42 days of their birth faced 46 times greater risk of dying within one month when compared to babies whose mothers survived (95% confidence interval 25.84-81.92; or adjusted ratio, 57.24 with confidence interval 25.31-129.49). Conclusions When a woman in this study population experienced a maternal death, her infant was much more likely to die than to survive—and the survival trajectory of these children is far worse than those of mothers who do not die postpartum. This highlights the importance of investigating how clinical care and socio-economic support programs can better address the needs of orphans, both throughout the intra- and post-partum periods as well as over the life course.
