ClinConnect Summary

The Caring for Providers to Improve Patient Experience (CPIPE) Trial is focused on improving the care that women receive during and after childbirth. Researchers are looking at how stress and unconscious bias among healthcare providers can affect the quality of maternal health care. By addressing these issues, the trial aims to create a more respectful and responsive healthcare environment that meets women's needs. The study will test a special program designed to help providers manage stress and reduce bias, while also examining how this can lead to better health outcomes for mothers and their babies.

To participate in this trial, women who have given birth within the last 12 weeks and healthcare providers working in maternal health for at least six months are eligible. Women must be at least 15 years old and able to give consent, while providers need to be 18 or older and committed to attending training sessions. Participants can expect to take part in surveys and training sessions that aim to improve their experiences and the care provided. This trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants, meaning they are not looking for additional people at this time.
