Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate how an educational program impacted the quality of life for individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in South East Nigeria, acknowledging the challenges of managing the disease daily.
- Out of 382 participants, data were collected using questionnaires before and after a 6-month educational intervention, with significant improvements in the intervention group's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores noted after the program.
- Results showed that while the control group started with higher HRQOL scores, the intervention group surpassed them after treatment, although older age was associated with lower HRQOL in certain domains, and gender did not significantly affect outcomes.
Background: Person-centred maternity care (PCMC) is acknowledged as essential for achieving improved quality of care during labour and childbirth. Yet, evidence of healthcare providers' perspectives of person-centred maternity care is scarce in Nigeria. This study, therefore, examined the perceptions of midwives on person-centred maternity care (PCMC) in Enugu State, South-east Nigeria.
