Resum
BACKGROUND: Quality
antenatal care (ANC) is recognised as an opportunity for
screening and early identification of pregnancy-related
complications. In rural Ghana, challenges with access to
diagnostic services demotivate women from ANC attendance and
referral compliance, leading to absent or late identification
and management of high-risk women. In 2016, an integrated
diagnostic and clinical decision support system tagged
'Bliss4Midwives' (B4M), was piloted in Northern Ghana. The
device facilitated non-invasive screening of pre-eclampsia,
gestational diabetes and anaemia at the point-of-care. This
study aimed to explore the experiences of pregnant women with
B4M, and its influence on service utilisation ("pull effect")
and woman-provider relationships ("woman engagement").
