| dc.description.abstract | This descriptive research study was undertaken in the following areas: George, Kanyama, Chawama, Chilenje, Mtendere, Kaunda Square and Chelstone Health Centres. These health Centres are located in the respective compounds in Lusaka urban. The main aim of the study was to determine the extent to which the TBAs were being utilised in Luseka Urban, end also to determine the influence of the incentives and remuneration on the performance of the TBM's which in turn would reinforce their utilisation by the community. Literature review was based on the factors related to prevention of maternal and child mortality through the services being offered by the Traditional Birth Attendants, in areas where medical facilities are inadequate. It was from this basis that the objectives and hypothesis were formulated for the study. Data were collected from 20 trained Traditional Birth Attendants of the already stated compounds, through the interviewing method. The results of the study revealed that the majority of the TBA's practicing fulfill the criteria for acceptance as traditional midwives | en_US |
