 My name is Dorothy Aloch. I have a basic undergraduate degree in anthropology and a master's degree in medical anthropology. My current research at the moment is looking at the experiences of mothers with sick newborns in Nairobi City County. I'm basically documenting the stories, the challenges and some of the things that they go through on a day-to-day basis when their children or when their new units are admitted in the hospitals in Nairobi. It's a qualitative study on applying different methodologies. I conduct non-participant observation within the newborn units. I conduct in-depth interviews when they're being discharged and I also do home follow-up visits to their homes about two to three weeks after they're discharged. This is important because not so much has been published in relation to experiences of mothers who have premature babies. A lot of the published work out there is from high-income countries and therefore this work is filling in that gap. I'm using different methodologies. I think it's also playing a major impact in methodologies on how these experiences can be collected, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. The ultimate contribution of this work would be to policy in terms of training of health workers because some of the things that mothers go through are linked to relationships within the newborn unit in terms of how do nurses communicate with their mothers. For the nurses to actually get to hear these stories of the mothers, they might be able to change things that might not cost much, that might be cost-effective. The second thing is the peer support networks that these mothers developed over time. During the time of admission and even post discharge, can be a learning point and a peer resource for some of the mothers with premature babies or sick babies.
