Accelerating Maternal and Newborn Survival: The AMANI Study (AMANI)
The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to learn if a practice facilitation package (including both audit and feedback and enhanced mentorship) can increase the use of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) in Kenyan health facilities and reduce maternal and perinatal deaths. Twenty facilities will be enrolled (10 intervention; 10 control) and the intervention will be tested with facility staff including the MPDSR committee members and facility administrators. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does the practice facilitation package improve the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of MPDSR in Kenyan health facilities?
- What is the primary pathway through which the practice facilitation package influences MPDSR implementation with fidelity?
Researchers will compare outcomes between the intervention and control facilities to see if the practice facilitation package influences the degree to which facility MPDSR committees can complete all of the steps of the MPDSR process.
Participants in both intervention and control facilities will be asked to respond to short surveys and engage in focus group discussions. Participants in the intervention facilities will be asked to engage regularly with the practice facilitators in enhanced mentorship and audit and feedback.
調査の概要
状態
条件
詳細な説明
The AMANI study will take place over three years. During the first two years, practice facilitators will deliver the practice facilitation package with intervention facilities. During the third year, practice facilitators will withdraw from intervention facilities, and both intervention and control facilities will be monitored to understand what elements of practice facilitation and MPDSR are maintained without external support.
Prior to beginning the practice facilitation intervention, a baseline service readiness assessment and data quality audit will be conducted in all enrolled facilities to understand the context of maternal and child healthcare provision at baseline. During the data quality audit, the previous year of facility death and MPDSR documentation will be abstracted from all facilities. During the three years of the AMANI study, facility records will be abstracted from all facilities on a monthly basis.
Within the first question that this study aims to answer, we have several sub-questions:
- What is the number, proportion, and representativeness of health workers who participate in the practice facilitation package? (Reach)
- What is the effect of the practice facilitation package on maternal, neonatal, and perinatal mortality and MPDSR technical knowledge among facility staff? (Effectiveness)
- What is the number and proportion of deaths for which the MPDSR process is started? (Adoption)
- What is the effect of the practice facilitation intervention on MPDSR implementation with fidelity? What organizational, individual, and intervention characteristics influence the use of MPDSR in facilities? What changes do the facility MPDSR committees make to MPDSR processes? (Implementation)
- What is the proportion of facilities implementing MPDSR with fidelity and the proportion of intervention facilities sustaining each component of the practice facilitation package at 6 and 12 months after withdrawing practice facilitator support? (Maintenance)

武器と介入
参加者グループ / アーム |
介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
介入なし:Control Arm
The control arm will not receive any interventions.
MPDSR committees will continue holding MPDSR meetings as usual for that facility.
|
|
|
実験的:AMANI Intervention Arm
In the intervention arm, trained practice facilitators (PFs) will deliver the practice facilitation package.
|
For audit and feedback (component 1), practice facilitators will hold regular meetings with MPDSR committees and facility administrators to present data on facility mortality and MPDSR implementation.
Practice facilitators will discuss challenges in MPDSR implementation and help committees engage in quality improvement, including tracking adaptations to the MPDSR process.
For enhanced mentorship (component 2), practice facilitators will attend regular MPDSR committee meetings and provide coaching on navigating data sources and provide information about MPDSR, how to complete quality improvement cycles, and how to problem solve.
Practice facilitatorswill also be available for individual mentorship in person or via Zoom/phone call.
During meetings, practice facilitators will support the committee to co-develop a tracking system for recommendations made during MPDSR meetings.

Reach of the practice facilitation package
時間枠:From enrollment to end of the active intervention phase (2 years)
|
Reach is defined as the proportion of MPDSR committee members who participate in each component of the strategy package (audit and feedback and enhanced mentorship) out of the number of MPDSR committee members in each facility.
We will determine if there is a significant difference in participation in each practice facilitation component over time across intervention facilities.

|
|
Perinatal mortality rate
時間枠:From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
Number of stillbirths (fetal deaths at least 28 weeks of gestation) and newborn deaths (up to and including the first seven days after birth), divided by the total births in the facility over the same time.

Adoption
時間枠:From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
Adoption is defined as the proportion of deaths at each facility for which the first two steps of the MPDSR cycle are initiated (death was identified).
The first two steps include deaths 1) identified and 2) reported with full documentation in maternal death review (MDR), perinatal death review (PDR), and neonatal death review (NDR) data forms within 7 days.
Adoption will be considered a binary outcome (yes/no), and adoption will be compared between intervention and control facilities.

Partial MPDSR fidelity
時間枠:From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
Proportion of maternal, perinatal, and neonatal deaths for which less than six of the MPDSR steps are implemented, and average number of steps completed, to identify most challenging MPDSR step.
Partial fidelity will be compared between intervention and control facilities.
|
From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
|
Adaptations
時間枠:From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
We will use the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-based interventions (FRAME) to track monthly facility specific adaptations to MPDSR implementation in intervention facilities only and to identify how facilities incorporate MPDSR steps into their practice context and facility infrastructure.
Of note, intervention facilities will not be adapting the implementation strategy (AMANI practice facilitation package) and will only be adapting how the MPDSR process is integrated into facility operations.
Specifically, we will track the number of modifications made per month to MPDSR implementation, including documentation of the nature of the modification, goal/rationale for modification, timing, and other features.

|
Proportion of intervention facilities sustaining audit and feedback and/or enhanced mentorship 6 and 12 months after external PF support is withdrawn.
We will determine if there is a significant difference in the prevalence ratio comparing participation in strategy components during the maintenance phase among intervention facilities.
|
From the end of the AMANI intervention phase to the end of the maintenance phase (1 year)

Maintenance of MPDSR
時間枠:From enrollment to study endline (3 years)
|
The proportion of maternal and perinatal deaths for which all six MPDSR steps are implemented in full within 3 months, measured 6 and 12 months after external PF support is withdrawn.
We will test the effect size of the immediate post-intervention change in fidelity and the overall slope to determine if moving from phase 1 (intervention phase) to phase 2 (maintenance phase) had a meaningful impact on fidelity, comparing intervention and control facilities.
