Benefits of a Mentorship Program on Interprofessional Collaboration in Obstetric and Neonatal Care in Rwanda: A Qualitative Descriptive Case Study.
Article in Rwanda journal of medicine and health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) contributes to optimum patient outcomes. The Training, Support, Access Model for Maternal, New Born, and Child Health (TSAM - MNCH), a project initiated as an innovative model for Rwanda, has provided a mentorship program to improve the quality of emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) including IPC. However, no research has been conducted to understand the impact of that mentorship on IPC practice. Study objective: To identify the impact of the TSAM mentorship on IPC practice in Rwanda from the perspective of hospital managers where TSAM mentorship was implemented and healthcare professionals (HCPs) participated in the mentoring program. Methods: A qualitative descriptive case study was conducted in five district hospitals in the Northern Province of Rwanda. Interviews were conducted with hospital directors and twenty-five HCPs mentees. Data were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed to identify emergent themes. Results and discussions: Four themes emerged: a) experience with IPC and TSAM mentorship; b) benefits of TSAM mentorship on IPC, c) challenges with mentoring programs, and 4) suggestions to improve TSAM mentorship. Conclusion: The findings indicated an increase in self-confidence and awareness of responsibilities, which contributed to the improved working relationship among the team involved in EmONC.
