Effective post-partum maternal care is essential for the overall well-being of both the mother and the child. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a pervasive issue with profound implications for maternal health. However, a significant research gap exists concerning the perspectives of nurse-midwives on PPD within the context of Lesotho.

更正：心理健康审查委员会成员对72小时评估政策指南的理解

Background: Worldwide, women continue to die from obstetric-related complications, despite the global progress made to reduce maternal mortality. Elderly women play a key role in using their own socio-cultural practices during pregnancy and childbirth.Objectives: The study aimed to explore the practices based on the beliefs of elderly women in Limpopo province.Method: A qualitative approach using descriptive, explorative and contextual design was employed. Audio recording of unstructured focus group discussions was conducted of the elderly women who were purposively sampled. Data were analysed and coded using thematic analysis approach following Tesch’s method and co-coded to ensure trustworthiness. Ethical considerations were also adhered to.Results: The findings discuss practices based on beliefs of elderly women and the need for them to be trained to participate in maternal health practices.Conclusion: The study concluded that practices based on beliefs of elderly women lead to delays in seeking medical intervention. Therefore, elderly women need to be trained to reduce maternal mortality.Contribution: This study adds knowledge to the need for training and the importance of elderly women to be trained in order to reduce maternal mortality.

老年女性的社会文化习俗是否影响产科并发症？一项在利姆波波省的研究

Globally, few studies were conducted mostly in Africa on Ubuntu and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). These studies did not incorporate empowering communities on integrating Ubuntu HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis (TB). As such, this study used empowerment as a tool to raise awareness in the community about how they can integrate Ubuntu when caring for people living with HIV (PLWHIV)/AIDS or TB.

Background: The Mental Health Care Act (No 17 of 2002) promotes the involvement of Mental Health Review Board (MHRB) members in the oversight, execution and evaluation of assessments and admissions of individuals in accordance with the 72-h policy guidelines. However, the MHRB experiences dissatisfaction with the implementation of policy guidelines on 72-h assessment of involuntary Mental Health Care Users (MHCUs).Objectives: This study explores and describes the MHRB members’ understanding of the policy guidelines on 72-h assessment of involuntary MHCUs in South Africa.Method: A qualitative exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was used. Data were collected using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) from MHRB from three provinces of South Africa, namely North West, Northern Cape and Gauteng. Three FGDs involving a total of 13 participants were conducted.Results: Three themes emerged from the data, namely: MHRBs’ understanding of the policy guideline on 72-h assessment of involuntary MHCUs, MHRBs’ challenges with the policy guideline on 72-h assessment of involuntary MHCUs and MHRBs’ recommendations to strengthen the implementation of policy guideline on 72-h assessment of involuntary MHCUs.Conclusion: Certain issues regarding dissatisfaction related to improper implementation of the 72-h policy guideline persist. Therefore, MHRB recommends that there should be skilled Mental Health Care Practitioners, adequate infrastructure, community involvement, and family and stakeholder collaboration to improve care towards the involuntary MHCUs.Contribution: The study illustrated there is a need to strengthen the implementation of 72-h assessment of involuntary MHCUs through ensuring enough human resources, designated facilities and involvement of the community as raised by the MHRBs.
