The IDEAS study was conducted to understand the manifestation and prevalence of respectful maternity care, and mistreatment of women during institutional delivery in Gombe state, Nigeria. Qualitative data was collected using a combination of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions conducted with women who had recently given birth in government facilities. The data collection tools made available cover several themes, including their experience accessing care, and their reflection on the quality of care received.
The study was conducted to understand the manifestation and prevalence of respectful maternity care, and mistreatment of women during institutional delivery in Gombe state, Nigeria.
Qualitative data was collected using a combination of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions conducted with women who had recently given birth in government facilities. We wanted to know their experience accessing care, and their reflection on the quality of care received. We used this data to refine our quantitative tools, and to develop a discrete choice experiment (DCE). These were conducted in English and Hausa.
Interviews and focus groups were held in two local government facilities, one with high facility delivery and one with low facility delivery.
The audio files and transcripts for this study are stored on the LSHTM Secure Server, but cannot be made available due to the extent of personal information and difficulty of anonymisation without context loss.
