Background: We aimed to assess risk factors for neonatal mortality, quality of neonatal resuscitation (NR) on videos and identify potential areas for improvement.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included women in childbirth and their newborns at four district hospitals in Pemba, Tanzania. Videos were analysed for quality-of-care.
Article Synopsis
- Autonomy-supporting interventions, like self-determination theory, may improve diabetes self-management and outcomes but have not been systematically reviewed for both benefits and harms.
- This systematic review followed Cochrane methodology to analyze randomized trials of these interventions against usual care, focusing on various health outcomes, including quality of life and diabetes distress.
- Out of 5578 studies screened, only 11 trials with 6059 participants were included, but results showed no significant effects of the interventions on quality of life compared to usual care, and all trials had a high risk of bias.
Background: More than 2 million third-trimester stillbirths occur yearly, most of them in low- and middle-income countries. Data on stillbirths in these countries are rarely collected systematically. This study investigated the stillbirth rate and risk factors associated with stillbirth in four district hospitals in Pemba Island, Tanzania.

Background: High-quality essential newborn care (ENC) can improve newborn health and reduce preventable newborn mortality. The World Health Organization recommends specific ENC interventions. Video recordings have potential as a tool for assessment of clinical care also in low and middle-income countries.

Introduction: In the management of type 2 diabetes, autonomy-supporting interventions may be a prerequisite to achieving more long-term improvement. Preliminary evidence has shown that the guided self-determination (GSD) method might have an effect on haemoglobin A1c and diabetes distress in people with type 1 diabetes. Previous trials were at risk of uncertainty.
