Understanding service users and other stakeholders' engagement in maternal and newborn health services research: A systematic review of evidence from low- and middle-income countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stakeholder engagement is widely considered democratic, transparent, and essential in the shared decision-making process for improving health services. However, the integrated evidence of stakeholders' engagement activities in maternal and newborn health (MNH) services in the context of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is lacking. Therefore, this review aims to generate synthesised evidence of different practices for stakeholder engagements, characteristics of stakeholder engagements and outcomes of stakeholder engagements in improving the MNH services uptake and delivery.

Methods

The systematic review reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist. The literature was searched in PubMed, CINAHL,
