Posttest Data from Forum Play Intervention for Respectful Maternity Care in Nepal

100% prevalence of disrespect and abuse during facility-based birth was reported in a prior study in Nepal. This dataset contains post-intervention survey results from a quasi-experimental study assessing a Forum Play theater intervention among 100 care providers in two Nepalese hospitals. The data was collected by Narayani Paudel Ghimire and published on figshare in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the effectiveness of participatory theater interventions based on pre-post survey scores.
• Comparing self-reported perception and behavior changes between intervention and control groups.
• Studying the impact of training on respectful maternity care among doctors and nurses.

Strengths

• Includes data from 100 care providers (25 intervention, 75 control) across two hospitals.
• Data collection used a structured questionnaire at baseline and two months post-intervention.
• Results show statistically significant differences at follow-up (p=<0.001 to 0.004).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The study design was not strictly parallel, as control data was collected later.
