Evaluation of The Capacity Required to Support the Implementation Process of Integrating the Non-Clinician Staff in The Obstetric Emergency Response in Bungoma County Referral Hospital, BCRH

Abstract
The capacity of non-clinicians in obstetric emergencies holds significant value through prompt intervention, leveraging community insights for culturally adept responses. This study focused on evaluating the capacity required to support implementation of non-clinician integration in obstetric emergency response at Bungoma County Referral Hospital. Using a cross-sectional survey, 93 non-clinicians were sampled through questionnaires and interviews. Descriptive and inferential statistics aided analysis with stringent adherence to ethics and COVID-19 protocols. Results showed sensitization training strongly influenced integration (84.4% agreement, mean=4.45), while 44.1% agreed non-clinicians have emergency response roles (mean=4.10). Regression analysis indicated capacity (R?=0.158, ?=0.241, p=0.001) significantly influenced quality of obstetric emergency response, explaining 15.8% of variation. Capacity building positively affected non-clinicians by equipping essential emergency response skills. Non-clinicians should be capacity-built to supplement clinical service delivery, alleviating clinical burden, prioritizing patient preferences, and improving maternal and infant outcomes while reducing mortalities.
