Training Duration: • For staff nurses: Two to three weeks • For ANMs and LHVs: The total duration of the course will be for a minimum of three weeks which can be extended for six weeks. • Skill Assessment: • Trainee are supervised during client practice. • Perform at least 75% of the recommended number of cases as Performed To Standard (PTS) checklist. • Trainee should get a score of “competency achieved” on at least 80% of steps in checklist. SBA Training-Summary
Independent Anesthesia Evaluation • UNICEF and DFID initiative through MGIMS, Sevagram. • For assessment of the quality and impact of anesthesia training in provision of EmOC Services. • Includes Assessment of : • Training Site and Trainers: Medical College + DHs. • EmOC Facilities: • Trained personnel posted. • No specialist/trained personnel available. • Stakeholders.
Impact of the training ( Gujarat & T.Nadu) Increased in No. of deliveries conducted. Increased in No. of Cesarean Section conducted. Anesthesia administered confidently during Cesarean section. No of Referrals reduced. Confidence in handling complications. Since the training protocol was not adhered to in Chhattisgarh, there was no visible impact.
Recommendation from Evaluation LSAS training has improved the EmOC service provision in areas where specialist care is not available. Needs to adherence to GOI guidelines to improve quality and impact. States with High MMR along with shortage of specialist, needs to upscale the training. GOI Recommendation for establishment of quality assurance cell in the states needs to be implemented.
Issues in Training… • Linking the Facilities for operationalization with placement of trained personnel. • Strengthening training sites and sites where the trainees be posted after the training. • Selecting the trainees as per the requisite criteria and their willingness for undertaking the training. • Timely nominations of the trainees and release of funds. • Lack of monitoring and supportive supervision. • Placing adequate funds for monitoring visit. • Avoid transfer/deputation of trainers to other facilities. • Strengthening SBA training institutes with logistics such as Tablet Misoprostol, Injection MagSulph and other essential inputs such as partograph etc.
Planning for service provision needs to be holistic with linkage to manpower, training, logistics, equipments along with focus on quality service delivery protocols. • Identifying the gaps and use of Facility Assessment Survey. • HR needs, redeployment, multi skilling and contracting. • Procurement of all needed supplies as per service package • Placing monitoring systems involving SPMs/DPMs. • Provision for repairs/renovations/additions . • Quality of Training need attention; • Activate State/District QA systems. • Identify State and District Monitors. • Initiatives to disseminate training and program guidelines. • Standardization LR protocols and practising of the same.
