Post-intervention Phase
Separately designed KII and FGD guides were used to assess the effectiveness of the package of interventions. The designing and pre-testing of semi-structured guides followed the same process as the pre-intervention phase. During the post-intervention phase, feedback about the new reporting system was elicited from the head of the institution, consultants, SGNOs, sisters in charge, and in-charge nursing officers.
The data from consultative meetings, KIIs, and FGDs were recorded with the consent of participants and then transcribed. Thematic analysis was executed according to a pre-defined framework framed upon the KII and FGD guides. Coding was completed using a Thematic Analysis approach (10, 11). Analysis was led by the first author, with ongoing input from the broader research team. Quotes were captured and presented below to exemplify the main themes identified.
