- by Camilla Bjelland, Joseph Sieka, Veronica Millicent Dzomeku, HaEun Lee, Wahdae-Mai Harmon-Gray, Emmanuel K. Nakua, Jody R. Lori Background To address the delayed provision of obstetric emergency care in Ghana and Liberia, our team previously implemented a mobile obstetric emergency referral system (MORES) connecting rural health facilities (RHFs) and district hospitals through a South-South-North triangular collaboration.
- This secondary qualitative data analysis aimed to synthesize the perceived barriers and benefits associated with the adoption of MORES in Ghana and Liberia. To guide this cross-context synthesis, we utilized Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory. Methods The analysis included individual interviews conducted among 29 district hospital providers and 33 rural health facility (RHF) workers in Liberia.
- In Ghana, 11 midwives at a district hospital participated in a focus group discussion. The codes were developed utilizing an inductive process. Thematic analysis was utilized to compare adoption across countries through the Diffusion of Innovation Theory.
- Findings Four themes were identified from the healthcare workers in Ghana and Liberia: compatibility, relative advantage, resource barriers, and limited implementation.
