Implementation of a midwifery preceptor program in Sierra Leone: a qualitative evaluation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research
The findings indicate that the MPP is a valuable innovation for enhancing midwifery education in Sierra Leone, which in turn can help to improve perinatal health outcomes. By identifying key barriers and facilitators to implementation, this study provides actionable insights to inform the adaptation, scaling, and sustainability of the MPP not only in Sierra Leone but also in other resource-limited settings facing similar workforce challenges.
