Caring for Providers to Improve Patient Experience Study Phase 2 in Migori County : Addressing Provider Stress and Unconscious Bias to Improve Quality of Maternal Health Care

Poor person-centered maternal health care (PCMHC) contributes to high maternal and neonatal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and disparities in PCMHC are driving disparities in use of maternal health services., However, little research exists on how to improve PCMHC and reduce disparities. The investigators seek to fill this gap with this project. They propose targeting health provider stress and unconscious bias as fundamental factors driving both poor PCMHC and disparities in PCMHC. Health care provider stress and unconscious bias are important to consider because: (1) providers in low-resource settings often work under very stressful conditions; (2) unconscious bias is prevalent in every society including SSA; and (3) these factors are mutually reinforcing drivers of poor quality care and disparities in person-centered care. In the first phase of the project (CPIPE1), they conducted research to examine (1) the factors associated with PCMHC and identified provider stress and unconscious bias as key contributing factors. They also examined the levels of provider stress and unconscious bias and the types of stressors and biases in Migori County, Kenya. The results of that research will be used to inform this phase (CPIPE2), the aims of which are to: (1) design a multicomponent theory and evidence-based intervention that enables providers to identify and manage their stress and unconscious bias; (2) pilot the intervention to assess its feasibility and acceptability; and (3) assess preliminary effect of the intervention on: (a) provider knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to stress and unconscious bias; and (b) provider stress levels using a pretest-posttest control group design. They will use the results of the pilot to refine the intervention and develop an R01 proposal for a multi-site evaluation with a larger sample and longer follow up to assess impact on PCMHC. This study will yield valuable information to inform quality improvement efforts for PCMHC..
