Abstract
- Objective: To explore the perceptions of key stakeholders on different modalities of training and mentoring activities for healthcare providers of postpartum family planning and postpartum intrauterine devices (PPFP/PPIUD).<br />Methods: In this qualitative study, data were collected from 40 participants in December 2017 via focus group discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews (IDI) in three hospitals implementing PPFP/PPIUD services and government line agencies in Nepal. Data were analyzed through content analysis and grouped into themes and categories.<br />Results: The majority of participants reported that PPFP/PPIUD training and mentoring was useful and contributed to their professional development. Most found that on-the-job training (OJT) was more effective than group-based training (GBT).<br />Conclusion: Training and mentoring activities were perceived to be useful by health providers and OJT was the approach preferred by the majority. Further studies are necessary to explore the existing challenges and long-term effects of each modality of training and mentoring on health providers' competency and attitudes and on the uptake of PPIUD by postpartum mothers.<br /> (© 2018 The Authors.
