摘要
Objective To test the safety, acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of community-based education and distribution of misoprostol for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage at home birth in Afghanistan Methods A nonrandomized experimental control design in rural Afghanistan Results A total of 3187 women participated 2039 in the intervention group and 1148 in the control group. Of the 1421 women in the intervention group who took misoprostal. 100% correctly took it after birth, including 20 women with twin pregnancies Adverse effect rates wre unexpectedly lower in the intervention group than in the comparision group Among women in the intervention group. 92% said the would use misoprostol in their next pregnancy. In the intervention area where community-based distribution of misoprostol was introduced, near-universal uterotonic coverage (92%) was achieved compared with 25% coverage in the control areas Conclusion In Afhanistan, community-based education and distribution misoprotol is safe, acceptable, feasible, and effective. This strategy should be considered for other countries where access to skilled attendance is limited.
