Midwives ’ experiences of providing pre-eclampsia care in a low- and middle-income country – A qualitative study

Like other low- and middle-income countries, Ghana has high maternal mortality stemming from pre-eclampsia. Ghanaian midwives are frontline service providers of emergency care in obstetric complications and have the greatest potential to maximise pre-eclampsia outcomes. Little is known about the potential barriers and challenges to midwives' capacity to provide quality care in pre-eclampsia in Ghana. Therefore, we aimed to explore and gain insights into midwives ’ experiences of pre-eclampsia care including their knowledge, skills, and psychological aspects such as midwives' resilience.
