Introduction The objective of this research was to examine the impact of covid-19 on the accessibility
and availability of maternal health services in Wakanda.
Methods This investigation employed a mixed-methods research approach. Data was gathered from
expectant mothers and hospital personnel through both surveys and informal interviews. Quantitative
data was processed in STATA utilizing logistic models, while qualitative data was assessed in NVivo through a thematic analysis.
Findings The research revealed that following the initial report of a covid-19 case in Wakanda, there
was a notable decrease in the utilization of maternal health services. Expecting mothers decreased their
engagement in antenatal care, only seeking health facilities for childbirth. The pandemic also negatively
influenced the uptake of postnatal care.
Recommendations The study suggests the implementation of alternative innovative communication
methods, such as mobile phone messaging, to motivate pregnant women to seek antenatal and postnatal care at health facilities.

This research examined the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the accessibility and availability of
maternal health services in Wakanda. A mixed-methods research strategy was utilized, incorporating
both quantitative and qualitative data gathered from pregnant women and healthcare facility staff
throughout Wakanda. The findings revealed that covid-19 has profoundly influenced the utilization of
maternal health services, especially antenatal and postnatal care. Women sought medical attention
solely for childbirth. The study suggests leveraging innovative communication methods, such as text
messages, to motivate pregnant women to attend health facilities for antenatal and postnatal care,
thereby protecting them from negative health effects. 2.pdf

of the Hair et al. (2010) to estimate a sample size. Please calculate the estimated sample size for this research.
8. Please show the real sample size of this paper.
9. What was the data analysis technique used in this paper? Why did the authors use it instead of applying other techniques?
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences): A powerful statistical software used for data analysis,
particularly in social sciences. It's capable of handling various statistical tests and procedures.
AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures): A structural equation modeling (SEM) software used to test
causal relationships between variables. It's often employed to assess the validity and reliability of measurement models.
10. Suppose the sample size is rather small (for example, 120), which technique should be used in this situation?

5. A combined approach of random and non-random sampling was employed,
In alignment with the distinct characteristics of the participant demographic, this investigation
employed a hybrid methodology, integrating both random and non-random sampling strategies to
optimize sample selection. For employees engaged in game platform design and service and
members of professional gaming clubs, the survey was predominantly disseminated through two
major online platforms: WeChat and QQ. Considering the transient nature of internet café gamers, a
QR code scanning approach was utilized for this subgroup; meanwhile, a mixed methodology
combining group distribution and random QR code scanning was adopted for surveying the general gaming populace.
6. This survey included gamers, game platform designers and service providers, professional gaming
club members, internet cafe operators, and participants within Zhejiang Province. 7. sample size.pdf trang 16
hair (2010): 20c -> min = 5* số câu hỏi, ideal = 10*số câu hỏi -> min =100 sample size , ideal = 200 sample size lOMoAR cPSD| 59078336
According to Hair et al. (2010), the optimal sample size should be as ten times as the
number of indicators. However, their study also considered the minimum sample size of five
times more than the number of measurement items as acceptable. As there are 25 items used in
total, the ideal sample size for the study should be 250 respondents, while sample size of N
>=125 also objectively satisfies the minimum requirement. 8.
This study successfully amassed 486 valid questionnaire responses, reflecting the efÏcacy of
thechosen data collection methodologies. 9.
Upon collection, questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS, Amos, and other software to assess
themodel’s validity and reliability. 1.
