Methods
Study design
This study was embedded within a large prospective study that
investigated a tool to assess and triage women on admission to the labor
ward.(18) Assessment of maternal perception of fetal movement was an
important component of this tool. This part of the study used a
mixed-method approach to provide a comprehensive and in-depth
understanding of the topic within the contextual limitations.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women and antenatal care
(ANC) nurses; focus group discussions (FGDs) supplemented with
questionnaires were used among skilled birth attendants. This study was
reported according to the COREQ checklist (Tabel S1).(19)
