Perception and Experiences of Auxiliary Nurse Midwives in using the ANMOL Application: A Qualitative Study Based on Training Needs.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Currently, auxiliary nurse midwife (ANM), a crucial public health functionary in rural India, uses health-related mobile-based applications for their routine activities. The study aims to explore the facilitators and barriers of ANMs in using the ANMOL applications. Material and Methods: A sequential exploratory study was conducted among all 24 ANMs in the Salon block of Raebareli district, India. The ANMs were categorized into low- and high-performing ANMs using an adapted Hennessy-Hicks Training Needs Analysis questionnaire. In-depth interviews (IDIs) in their language using a structured interview guide were conducted among six ANMs from each category. An inductive thematic analysis was performed to identify domains, themes, and subthemes. Results: The mean (SD) age of the ANMs was 37.25 (9.9) years with a median (IQR) experience of 5.5 (2.75,8.50) years. Around 13 (54.17%) were categorized as low-performing and 11 (45.83%) as high-performing ANMs. The key themes identified were internet-related issues, technical issues, easy information tracking, increased work, one-point availability of data, and monitoring of the activities. The high-performing ANMs not only reported technical challenges along with increased workload in using the application, but also provided technical suggestions, like ASHA-wise classification of data in the application. However, low-performing ANMs focused mainly on ease in routine immunization. Conclusions: More than half of the ANMs were perceived to have a high need for training in the ANMOL application. Poor internet coverage, technical glitches in the application, and duplication in data entry affect the holistic utilization of these applications.
