Description
Mercy Tiko, Vivian Senoo-Dogbey, and Charles Adjei ask why midwives in northern Ghana often miss protection after hepatitis B exposure. Their twenty twenty-six study is based on talks with twenty midwives. Midwives face blood and fluids daily, so their risk at work is high.
Shots and post-exposure care exist, yet uptake stays low for many reasons. Talks at three health sites were sorted by theme under a social-ecological frame. Blocks sat with the person, such as fear or low knowledge, and with the workplace, such as stock or rules. Readers see both levels at once, which points to fixes that match each level.
