Case Study: Postpartum Depression
Sheela’s Story Sheela was a 30 year-old mother of four children who had been married for eight years. She lived with her husband and in-laws in a small village. She had given birth to her fourth child three months previously. Her pregnancy and labor had been uneventful, and an untrained traditional midwife helped conduct the home delivery. Because pregnancy was viewed in her village as a normal occurrence that did not require any medical attention, Sheela did not receive any antenatal or postnatal care. For a month after the birth, Sheela felt normal, but then she began to exhibit unusual behavior. She became reclusive and stopped speaking to anyone at home, losing interest in her daily activities and ceasing to care for her children. The rest of the people in her family, however, were busy with their own lives and seemed indifferent to her condition. One day, when all of her family members had gone to the fields to work, Sheela set herself on fire and walked out of the house covered in flames. Some neighboring men saw her and smothered the flames with blankets, and one of them ran to get her family from the fields. They called an auto rickshaw to take her to the hospital, where Sheela was admitted to the burns unit. She had sustained 63% superficial and deep burns. Eight days after admission, she died of shock and septicemias.
What were the social, economic, and medical factors that contributed to Sheela’s death? What could have been done to prevent it? Write your answers in a Word Document and submit (one person in your group may write this but you all need to submit the document to the dropbox).

Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.
Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.
More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.
To Prepare:
