Background

Maternal mortality remains a major challenge to health systems worldwide. One of its main causes is the limited number of health workers and facilities for pregnant women in rural areas. To reduce maternal mortality rates, Indonesia has instated policies to support the implementation of Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs). Bulukumba District is located in an MWHs implementation area and is representative of the mainland and ocean countryside. Thus, the Bulukumba District was used in this study to investigate the key success factors in MWHs implementation.

Methods

This is a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. This research was conducted in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, a rural area in Indonesia, in 2020. Data was collected through focus group discussions (FGD) involving public and civil parties (n = 10), government members (n = 14), professional organizations (n = 8), and local community members (n = 12). The NVivo Release 1.0 software was used in this study’s analysis to code and categorize the transcripts.

Results

Three themes were identified: stakeholders’ experience in managing MWHs in rural areas, efforts to increase the implementation of MWHs by stakeholders, and stakeholder expectations regarding the implementation of MWHs.

Conclusions

The key success factors in MWH implementation are leadership and collaboration with each stakeholder. Additionally, the stakeholders’ experiences, efforts, and expectations of MWH implementation can decrease the maternal mortality rate in rural areas.

Millennium Development Goal number 5 (MDGs) aims to improve maternal health.¹ This target is related to the high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in developing countries, which is estimated at 415 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, more than 40 times higher than the MMR in Europe and almost 60 times higher than in Australia and New Zealand.^1,2 Approximately 295,000 women died during pregnancy and childbirth in 2017, and 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.³ Indonesia is a developing country with an estimated maternal mortality ratio of 177 per 100,000 live births.⁴ Although the trend has decreased, it has not met the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target of < 70 per 100,000 live births in 2030.⁵ MMR in Indonesia is also still the third highest in Southeast Asia.⁶

Globally, there are several causes of maternal death.⁷ Maternal death can be caused by direct causes such as hypertension (14%), sepsis (10.7%), bleeding (27.1%), abortion (7.9%), and embolism.^7,8 Indirect causes of maternal death include socio-cultural and socioeconomic factors, occupation, income level, access to health services, and delay in receiving treatment by health workers.⁹ In general, poor women in remote and rural areas experience the most difficulty obtaining adequate health services due to the low number of professional health workers and difficulty in reaching health facilities.⁵

In general, the MMR in South Sulawesi Province reached 129 per 100,000 live births in 2021. This figure is still high compared to the regional medium-term target of 90 per 100,000 live births.¹⁰ In Bulukumba District, ten incidents of maternal death caused by delays in delivery assistance and limited access to quality health care facilities, especially for pregnant women in the 3T Regions (tertinggal = underdeveloped, terdepan/terjauh = remote, and terluar

= frontier/outer).^10,11 The number of health facilities in Bulukumba District consists of nine polyclinics and 20 public health centers (PHC). However, there is only one referral hospital and maternity home for pregnant women.¹² The barriers to giving birth in hospitals and maternity homes are influenced by long distances and their preference to give birth with a traditional healer based on aspects of local cultural understanding.¹³ Due to the limited access to maternal health in Bulukumbu District, the government is pushing for the enactment of the South Sulawesi Regent Regulation Law number 44 of 2016 concerning Maternity Waiting Homes.¹⁴ Additionally, Bulukumba District is a strategic and representative area for Indonesia’s mainland and ocean countryside. To date, the implementation of MWHs has remained a health program in Bulukumba.

Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs) is an intervention method that aims to aid pregnant women to be closer to delivery facility services.¹⁵ MWHs facilitate pregnant women to stay in a house in their last weeks of pregnancy so that they can be easily transferred to a health facility for delivery with health professionals and receive prompt emergency obstetric care when needed.^15,16 MWHs have been proven to reduce maternal mortality by 80% in developing countries. Additionally, more than 70% of stillbirths can be reduced by mothers who use maternity waiting homes.⁷

Design

This is a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. The researchers listened carefully, understood the meaning of the story, analyzed the participant’s words, created a holistic description, and reported the participant’s information. The exploratory approach is a method used for exploring something new to be studied more deeply, usually regarding current phenomena.¹⁹ This approach was used to collect information from stakeholders regarding the implementation of Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs) in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Qualitative research is a process of collecting and interpreting data to create a theme or concept. The data for this research were obtained from FGDs in the form of transcripts, observations, and collection of relevant documents, which were then studied to identify major themes.¹⁹

Setting

This research was conducted in Bulukumba District, South Sulawesi Province. Bulukumba District has a population density of 939,718 people, an area of 1154.58 km², and public facilities such as schools, markets, health centers, hospitals, and inns or hotels. There are 20

first-level health facilities in Bulukumba District and 9 Polyclinics. Bulukumba District can represent rural areas for Indonesia’s mainland and ocean countryside. The long distance to the hospital has impacted maternal mortality rates due to delays in the delivery process.¹³ Bulukumba Regency has recorded ten maternal deaths in 2021.¹²

Study participants

FGDs were conducted with a range of stakeholders, such as public and civil parties (n = 10), government members (n = 14), professional organizations (n = 8), and local community members (n = 12). The participants were selected by purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria, which included stakeholders at the government level, village apparatus, and common people. Stakeholder collaboration is needed to manage the empowerment and advocacy of a health program in a low-income country.²⁰ The FGD participants also signed an informed consent form to ensure their voluntary participation in this research.

Data collection

Data collection was conducted during the FGD activities with stakeholders. Participants who took part in the FGD confirmed their participation by signing an informed consent form. The FGDs were conducted in a comfortable meeting room with a peaceful atmosphere. The duration of the FGD was 90 minutes, and the language of instruction was the Indonesian national language. In addition, the activities were facilitated by a moderator who led and directed the discussion efficiently. The FGD activities were documented through video recordings. The FGD process began with self-introduction where the researchers stated their names, local origins, and professions. Oral informed consent was also obtained by asking the participants whether they agreed to be documented via video recording. After the participants understood the flow of the FGD, the discussion continued with a series of guided questions set by the previous researcher.

Data analysis

Data analysis was done through the inductive content analysis method. This process involved analyzing video records and exploring new knowledge. Procedural analysis was performed by paying attention to flexibility, recording, accuracy in transcripts, and direct quotations.¹⁹ This analysis further strengthens the credibility of the exploratory interpretation, and as linguists translated the transcripts to English, this ensures that the meaning of sentences did not differ in meaning.

The analytical approach allows for comparisons within the transcribed texts and categorizes recurring concepts into themes. This study used the NVivo Release 1.0 software to code and categorized the transcripts. Coding is done by identifying the concepts in the transcript related to the research questions and separating them into themes. These themes will become a concept that is further developed. Agreement on the code and themes is reached before the results are interpreted. The peer debriefing process during data analysis was also conducted to help researchers to reflect on the process and improve research accuracy.

Ethical consideration

This study was granted ethical approval from the health research ethics committee of Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta with No.267/EP-FKIK UMY/IV/2017 to investigate the key success factors of MWH implementation. This study’s participants voluntarily participated and signed a written consent form before taking part in the FGD activities. In addition, the participants received incentives for transportation costs related to this activity.

Table 1 shows that Bulukumba District provides MWHs facilities across ten PHCs in mainland and ocean countryside areas. The availability of MWHs is also supported by Jampersal services for pregnant women in the PHC.

Table 2 Number of FGD informants from each stakeholder and role distribution

Table 2 shows that the FGD informants included the collaboration of four group stakeholders, including public and civil parties, government members, professional organizations, and local community members. Most of the informants were from government groups (31.8%), consisting of provincial and district government members, and University and Musrembang (Development Planning Committee) members. The researcher then described the role distribution to make the statements of each informant easier to understand, including Public and Civil (PC), Government (G), Professional Organization (PO), and Personal (P), and included the numerical order of each group.

Table 3shows data on the analysis of 3 themes including Stakeholders' experience of managing MWHs in a rural area, Efforts to increase the implementation of MWHs by stakeholders, and Stakeholders' expectations regarding the implementation of MWHs.

Theme I. Stakeholders’ experience of managing MWHs in a rural area

MWHs leadership

Collaboration system between stakeholders. Stakeholder collaboration from the provincial, district, village, and individual levels to strengthen MWH implementation.

“We have worked together to implement the Maternity Waiting Homes program… starting from establishing policies at the provincial and regional levels, outreach support by local leaders, field implementation for pregnant women. I'm sure... without this collaboration, it would be difficult to do this program” (Informant G1).

The involvement of each stakeholder group from the central to the local level can be used to advocate and participate in health policymaking.²⁰

Coordination meetings with MHWs Stakeholders. Stakeholders conducted accountability reporting through regular meetings.

“We have a regular agenda for monthly meetings for advocacy and monitoring. Usually... for example, if there are problems or suggestions from the community... we convey them to the leadership. So, in essence... we have to make an accountability report every month” (Informant G13).

The involvement of traditional institutions, government, religious leaders, and the general public is a positive way to support the continuous implementation of the MWH program.²¹

MWHs Utilization

Positive mindset for implementation. The District Government has developed a positive mindset that Maternity Waiting Homes are one of the keys to controlling maternal mortality in Bulukumba District.

"I think Maternity Waiting Homes have a great opportunity to be one of the keys to reducing maternal mortality. I am very optimistic... especially if all pregnant women use this facility; it is not impossible… that maternal mortality in Bulukumba can be eliminated” (Informant G5).

MWHs have been proven to reduce maternal mortality by 80% in developing countries.¹⁷ Nevertheless, this positive mindset needs to consider the mother’s knowledge factors, subjective norms related to women's perceptions, and behavioral control to decide the use of MHWs.²²

Awareness of benefits. The benefits of MWHs include easy access to hospitals and referrals when there is an emergency during the delivery process.

“In my opinion... Maternity Waiting Homes make it easier for mothers who are going to give birth to be closer to the hospital. Apart from that... because there is a doctor's supervision, so if at any time there is an emergency condition, it can be quickly handled” (Informant P1).

A study proved that awareness of the benefits for pregnant women increases their positive attitude toward participating in using MWHs. The benefits of MHWs are reduced maternal mortality rates, fewer complications, and better access to maternal health services and information.²³

Theme II. Efforts to increase the implementation of MWHs by stakeholders

Community socialization

Socialization of the importance of MHWs for preventing emergency deliveries by health workers. Health Workers continuously provide socialization on the implementation of MWHs in various villages and during ANC visits.

“So far... doctors and midwives have socialized the importance of using Maternity Waiting Homes to prevent maternal deaths and emergency deliveries. Usually... we target various corners of the village... and mention this during ANC visits” (Informant PO2).

Socialization was associated with the increased use of the MWH after controlling for the influence of family support.²⁴ Health workers can also modify socialization materials to include MWHs to reduce maternal mortality rates and emergency deliveries.

Socialization of the support of MHWs by local leaders. Local leaders conduct MWH socialization through village association activities.

"We certainly provide support... to encourage village communities, especially pregnant women, to actively use Maternity Waiting Homes. We also convey this through the activities of the village community association” (Informant PC1).

The utilization of MWHs requires different parties to have specific roles and responsibilities to foster a sense of community ownership. Cross-sector collaboration is needed with a community-based approach through the role of local leaders.²⁵

Capacity building of MWHs

Procurement of MHWs facilities according to standards. Describing MWHs as a facility resembling a house is generally done to make pregnant women feel comfortable and secure.

“If in the description of the Maternity Waiting Home, it includes a house in general... there is a bed... there is a kitchen and bathroom. Mothers can stay there until after delivery. Family members can also accompany the mother.” (Informant P12).

Health facilities are an important element that supports the smooth running of a health program in any region and country. Recently, the convenience and completeness of healthcare facilities have been the main elements of community interest.²⁶

Ensure safety and ease of access to delivery assistance. Health workers have standard operating procedures for delivery assistance and emergency referral pathways to ensure that pregnant women feel safe.

“We have established standard operating procedures for delivery assistance and emergency referrals. With the aim... of course to ensure safety and comfort during birthing” (Informant PO5).

Coordination within the health sector has resulted in SOPs presenting the steps that health workers must follow in the delivery room. The SOP also elaborates on the points that must be considered to ensure good maternity care is provided at all levels to pregnant women in district hospitals.²⁷

Supportive policies from the local government

Guarantee of the quality of professional health workers. The government guarantees that healthcare workers have qualifications, abilities, registration certificates, and receive appropriate incentives.

“We recruit human resources who have passed competency tests, are skilled, and are experienced. In addition... we require health workers to attend regular training to update their knowledge. In addition, we ensure that health workers receive appropriate incentives according to the standards” (Informant G1).

Healthcare providers, hospitals, and primary care institutions must continue improving their healthcare workers’ quality. It is expected that by improving their quality, they will be able to meet society's demands and provide optimal health services. Moreover, applying good knowledge management will generate ideas and creativity from the workforce in creating healthcare innovations.²⁸

Establish the use of Jampersal (maternity insurance). Utilization of Maternity Waiting Homes can be accessed free of charge for Jampersal users and additional regional allocation funds.

"We make it easier for the wider community to access Maternity Waiting Homes facilities for free by using Jampersal. We hope that all pregnant women can give birth safely and comfortably. Moreover, we provide additional regional allocation funds to support the implementation of this program " (Informant G3).

The analysis discovered that health insurance coverage had a significantly positive effect on at least two of the four measures of maternal health care utilization in each of the three countries. If compared, Indonesia has the most systematic effect on health insurance. Health insurance also appears to have a more consistent positive impact on maternal health care. According to the findings, expanding health insurance to include poor people with low or no copayments can increase the use of maternal health care.²⁹

Theme III. Stakeholders’ expectations regarding the implementation of MWHs

Increasing collaboration between stakeholders

Implementation system. MWH implementation requires collaboration across sectors

'' Of course... in the implementation of this program must consider the collaboration of stakeholders... local leaders motivate pregnant women to participate in the maternity waiting home program… healthcare workers provide quality services... the government provides policies that make it easier for the community. I think... this makes for a great collaboration” (Informant PC7).

Stakeholder collaboration is required for the successful implementation of a health program. From the central level to the individual level, this collaboration must be conducted in an integrated manner. This collaborative synergy enables the program to stay on track.^20,21

Monitoring and evaluation system. The use of telemedicine facilitates access to consultation and supervision of pregnant women quickly and effectively.

''To improve health evaluation, we can use telemedicine... With the hope... if there are problems during pregnancy, they can be resolved immediately'' (Informant G9).

The evaluation involves various stakeholders and uses feedback mechanisms to ensure the constant improvement of the impact of their contribution.²⁰

Improved community support

New thinking for implementation. There is a new and open way of thinking about participating in the MWHs program.

''We hope... that the general public will realize the benefits of maternity waiting homes and form new thinking to participate in this program" (Informant G4).

Efforts to increase women's awareness by providing sustainable health service strategies and health education have an impact on new thinking for their intention to use MWH.²²

Increased participation of the MWH program. There is a target of increasing the utilization of MWHs

"In addition... our target is to increase the utilization of Maternity Waiting Homes in Bulukumba District” (Informant P4).

Knowledge sharing of MWHs implementation experiences would provide a better understanding to support women to utilize MHWs.¹⁸

This research investigated stakeholders’ experiences, efforts, and expectations in implementing MHWs, as well as the role of leadership and collaboration among stakeholders. The success and sustainability of MHWs require strong commitment and support from all stakeholders, especially from the community, and are supported by government policies.^20,30 According to past studies, successful leadership in the health workforce will require interdisciplinary coordination and a culturally diverse work environment.³¹ Collaboration can be raised through communication, consultation, and participation that diverse stakeholders consider accessible, timely, and able to exert positive influence.^20,25,28 Stakeholders also hold regular meetings as a form of evaluation of MHW implementation. The monitoring and evaluation of the health system focuses on the results of stakeholder contributions, including ensuring the availability of healthcare workers, quality health services, utilization of health facilities, coverage of health services, and subsequent relevant health impacts such as morbidity and mortality.³²

Several studies have proved that MHWs can reduce maternal mortality rates due to delays in treatment and emergency birthing.^15,17,30 Some supporting evidence has helped stakeholders to accept that MHWs is a strategy that can be used to reduce maternal mortality rates in Bulukumba District. The collaboration between stakeholders is very dominant in the program’s implementation.¹² Excellent collaboration was demonstrated among stakeholders through the integrated socialization of MHWs based on the role of each stakeholder. The rise of public awareness regarding MWH usage is one of the positive impacts of MHWs’ socialization by stakeholders.²⁰ Stakeholders also advocate for the implementation of MHWs through socialization forums. This is in line with research which revealed that socialization is associated with increased use of MHWs.²⁴

Stakeholders perform socialization in an integrated collaboration to recognize the importance of MWHs for mothers who give birth.²⁰ Healthcare providers play a key role in pregnant women with limited health literacy, which rely on them as sources of health information.³³ Midwives in PHC provide education on the use of MWHs through ANC visitation.³⁴ The health education strategy of health workers is considered to be an important factor in the success of health programs.³³ Furthermore, local leaders and village midwives also

have a role in formulating policies and outreach at the village level regarding participation agreements on using MHWs for pregnant women and prohibiting giving birth with traditional birth attendants.^35,36 One of them is through the role of the Musrenbang, which involves stakeholders to improve the quality of village, regional, and national planning for health systems.³⁷ The role of village midwives, in particular, is important for a family-based approach to obtaining support for MHW utilization.³⁵ Meanwhile, the government greatly contributed by establishing policies related to MHW implementation, such as eliminating fees for Jampersal users.^38,39 Support for providing additional allocation funds for the implementation of MHWs in Bulukumba is also part of the local government's efforts to reduce maternal mortality rates. Therefore, people who do not have Jampersal can still receive MWH services.¹³ Moreover, the government provides standard incentive money for health workers.¹²

Another finding is that stakeholders collaborated to increase capacity building by ensuring that MHW’s facilities have met standards.⁴⁰ In addition to the completeness of the facilities, it is necessary to pay attention to the psychological comfort of pregnant women, which is influenced by the details of MHWs furniture, including color, lighting, layout and circulation, selection of furniture, as well as ventilation.⁴¹ Therefore, to realize pregnant women's comfort and interest in MHWs requires non-health human resources.²⁵ Comfort and safety during birthing are of particular concern for pregnant women. Thus, healthcare workers implement an SOP to ensure that they provide birth care according to standards.²⁷ The referral system for emergency delivery cases is also a critical point that needs to be improved.⁴² Guidelines for referral and use of primary services are key factors in the successful use of health service infrastructure in an effective and efficient in achieving universal health coverage in Indonesia.⁴³ Positive birthing experiences provide a positive attitude toward the use of MHWs.15,18,22

In general, people in rural areas tend to have more limited access to health service resources than those living in urban areas.^3,13 For patients living in rural areas, telemedicine offers opportunities to access health services and other resources.⁴⁴ A study stated that health care in rural and remote areas should be combined with telemedicine services to increase the availability of health facilities, consultation, and referral guidelines.⁴³ Accuracy and speed of decision-making in referrals will reduce the chances of maternal morbidity and mortality in rural Indonesia.⁸

The last finding concerns stakeholders’ expectations regarding increased collaboration from the central to the local level.³³ It has been widely proven that collaboration between stakeholders is the key to utilizing MHWs to reduce maternal mortality rates.^15,17,24 Collaboration can be conducted with interdisciplinary health and non-health stakeholders.²⁵ The WHO revealed that strengthening collaboration among multilateral organizations can be done to accelerate each country’s progress toward health-related Sustainable Development Goals.⁴⁵ Collaboration on the monitoring and evaluation system for each stakeholder is useful for tracking target achievements and constraints during the implementation of MHWs.⁴⁶ Community support is also necessary for implementing MHWs.^17,21,23

The limitation of this study is that it is a qualitative study that was only conducted in 1 district. The research method used is limited to FGDs with several stakeholders. For further research, it is hoped that qualitative research will be conducted in several Indonesian districts to obtain a comparative description of the implementation of MWHs. In-depth interviews with key participants can also supplement the research method. Additionally, future researchers can involve pregnant women and their families to deepen the information explored regarding the implementation of MWHs.

The key success factors in Maternity Waiting Home implementation are leadership and collaboration with each stakeholder. Collaboration is not limited to fellow healthcare stakeholders but extends to non-healthcare workers from central to regional levels. Overall, the experience, effort, and expectations of MWH implementation by stakeholders can decrease the maternal mortality rate in rural areas.
