Caring for Providers to Improve Patient Experience (CPIPE) Study: A Cluster Randomized-controlled Trial to Assess the Impact of the CPIPE Intervention on Person-centered Maternity Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CPIPE Training, Peer support groups, and 3 other interventions for Stress, Psychological and 8 related conditions. Currently enrolling by invitation, targeting 6,400 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The activities described in this proposal are aimed at addressing health care provider stress and unconscious bias to improve quality of maternal health care, particularly related to the person-centered dimensions of care-i.e. care that is respectful and responsive to women's needs, preferences, and values. The investigators focus on health provider stress and unconscious bias because they are key drivers of poor-quality care that are often not addressed in interventions designed to improve quality of maternal health care. The investigators plan to (1) test the effectiveness of an intervention that targets provider stress and bias to improve PCMC; (2) assess the cost-effectiveness of CPIPE; (3) examine the mechanisms of impact of CPIPE on PCMC; and (3) assess impact of the CPIPE intervention on distal outcomes including maternal health seeking behavior and maternal and neonatal health.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A two day training covering the following topics: understanding stress \& burnout and developing positive coping mechanisms, bias awareness \& mitigation, person-centered maternity care mindfulness, dealing with difficult situations, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, teamwork and communication, mentorship and peer support.
Groups for healthcare providers to meet with other healthcare providers of their cadre, and discuss issues they are facing, brainstorm solutions, and provide support to one another.
Mentor-mentee relationships that provide the opportunity to coach junior healthcare providers on professional development, work-life balance, clinical skills, career advancement and other topics. Mentors develop their mentorship and leadership skills.
Engagement of County leadership at the onset of the project through a community advisory board, regular updates of the study and findings, and discussing systemic gaps that impact provider stress and bias.
To facilitate ongoing engagement and sustainability at the facility level, we identified facility champions who lead in organizing and facilitating peer support groups and refreshers at their facilities and serve as role models.
