This qualitative enquiry has already provided, and will continue to provide, new and clinically relevant insights into patients' experiences of morbidity, the processes of rehabilitation, recovery and perceived HRQoL following discharge into the community.
The need for nurses to exhibit a higher standard of clinical competence is a direct result of increased technology, new treatment regimes, and complex co-morbidity disease processes of patients.
Although they have the advantage of unlimited supply without additional donor site morbidity, the incorporating process of allografts is slower and probably less complete than that with autografts due to a low-grade immune response or a lack of osteocytes in the graft or both [14, 15].
This is not unexpected as a deterioration of host fitness generally occurs when a pathogen load increases in a host since pathogen multiplication leads to resource depletion in the host potentially leading to death or morbidity if the process is not prevented by host immune defenses [48].
Morbidities are entered onto the computer in these practices using the Read Code classification, a hierarchy of morbidity, symptom and process codes commonly used in the U.K. [ 11].
Read codes are a hierarchy of morbidity, symptoms and process codes that are used to record all electronic morbidity data in UK primary care [ 23].
Read codes are a hierarchy of morbidity, symptom and process codes that enable UK primary care workers to code consultations by either presenting symptom, the working or established diagnosis or the procedure undertaken [ 9].
The Read code classification is a hierarchy of morbidity, symptom and process codes, organised by anatomical symptom, that become more specific the lower down the coding hierarchy one progresses [ 33].
This is of particular importance in view of the current policy to increase institutional deliveries in Tanzania as a means to bring down maternal mortality and morbidity (in the process to reach MDG 5), and in a context where the MoHSW in collaboration with NGOs work to motivate women to deliver in hospital.
Secondary outcomes will assess the success of the induction process, neonatal morbidity and mortality, and maternal mortality and morbidity.
