Convenience sampling was used to select the participants from a population of 90 TBAs who were trained by Ekwendeni Mission Hospital. A sample •size of 23 TBAs was used.
Data was collected using three Focus Group Discussions. Data analysis was done manually using Collaizi's method of content analysis. The study revealed that T BAs have
knowledge of the changes in their role but have different views on the reasons for such
changes. The study also found that despite having knowledge of the changes some TBAs
still continue conducting deliveries. This study has concluded that there is minimal
compliance to the TBAs changed roles. There is need for policy makers to revisit the
policy and find other strategies of gradually replacing TBAs with Skilled attendants |
