Placental Pathologic Features and Perinatal Outcomes in Pregnant Woman With Autoimmune Connective Tissue Disease.

We aimed to investigate the association between perinatal outcomes and placental pathological features in pregnant women with ACTD, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD). Placental tissue from SLE (n=44), APS (n=45), and UCTD (n=45) were included, and contemporaneous deliveries of placenta were served as a control group (n=46) between September 2015 and March 2021. The placental histopathology was evaluated using the Manual of Human Placental Pathology and classified according to the Amsterdam consensus framework. SLE pregnant women have a higher rate of cesarean section (61.40%), premature birth (24.56%), and SGA (26.32%) when compared to control group (p=0.008, p=0.005, and p=0.000, respectively). The rate of vascular malperfusion, inflammatory-immune lesions, and other placental lesions in the SLE group was 47.73%, 56.82%, and 63.64%, which were higher than the control group (p=0.000, p=0.000, and p=0.006, respectively). In the meantime, the incidence of inflammatory-immune lesions in the APS group (42.22%, p=0.004) and vascular malperfusion in the UCTD group (37.78%, p=0.007) were increased when compared to the control group. SLE appeared to confer increased risk for a wide range of adverse perinatal outcomes. We determined elevated placental histopathology risk for most women with ACTD, including vascular maldevelopment, vascular malperfusion, and inflammatory-immune lesions.

The Association Between the Characteristics of Pregnant Women with Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Midwifery Care Based on Gender Sensitivity

Respectful maternity care must be ensured that all pregnant women can accept it. It is necessary to understand all pregnant women receiving midwifery care with a gender-sensitive approach to prevent the possibility of mistreatment, harassment, or violence during midwifery practice. This study aimed to assess the association between the characteristics of pregnant women and the knowledge and attitudes regarding gender-sensitive midwifery care. This was a cross-sectional study on 200 pregnant women who came to get antenatal care services at independent practice midwives. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain the odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, and p-value for the trend to assess the strength of the association. Data was collected using a questionnaire that was developed and has been assessed for validity and reliability. Pregnant women who actively participate in community activities are associated with good knowledge of midwifery care with a gender sensitivity approach (OR equal 1.51, OR equal 1.16-1.97, p-value equal 0.03). Pregnant women with higher education levels are associated with a good attitude toward midwifery care with a gender sensitivity approach (OR equal 2.02, 95% CI equal 1.01-4.05, p-value equal 0.04). Pregnant women participating in community activities are associated with good knowledge about midwifery care with a gender sensitivity approach, and pregnant women with higher education levels are associated with good attitudes about midwifery care with a gender sensitivity approach (p-value less than 0.001). Midwives and other health workers educate pregnant women in all health facilities at every antenatal visit and community activities such as the village community health center.

Mothers who are multigravida as much as 48.8% experience emesis. Furthermore, housewives who experienced emesis were 43.9%. The conclusion is that pregnant women with emesis gravidarum are often felt by mothers with the last high school education, multigravidas and housewives.

Characteristics of Pregnant Women with Reactive HBsAg

In developing countries, including Indonesia, vertical hepatitis B virus transmission still plays an essential role in spreading the hepatitis B virus. The first step in preventing vertical transmission is knowing the HBsAg status of pregnant women. The HBsAg screening method for pregnant women using a rapid test was carried out by the Hepatitis B Early Detection Activity (DDHB) for pregnant women at the Puskesmas and its network. In order to break the chain of hepatitis B transmission from mother to baby, health workers play an essential role in this, especially midwives. Because midwives are health workers closest to pregnant women, all pregnant women are expected to have their HBsAg status checked to know whether they have hepatitis B disease or not. This study aims to determine the relationship between the factors of pregnant women and the incidence of positive HBsAg where the characteristics include age, occupation, parity, environment, number of sex partners, history of blood transfusion, and history of hepatitis B immunization in the Taktakan district of Serang City, Banten. This study used an observational study with a case-control approach, and the case sampling technique was purposive sampling. The sample of this study was 80 pregnant women, with a total of 40 people from the case group and 40 people from the control group with a ratio of 1: 1. The research instrument consisted of a pregnant woman's early detection questionnaire at each pregnant woman's blood sampling. This questionnaire is in the Ministry of Health's program. In this study, it was found that there was a relationship between the characteristics of pregnant women based on the environment, the number of sex partners, and a history of hepatitis B immunization with the incidence of positive HBsSg in the Taktakan District, Serang City (Sig value > 0.05). As for the other variables in this study, there was no relationship between the characteristics of pregnant women based on age, occupation, parity, and history of blood transfusion with the incidence of positive HBsAg in the Taktakan District, Serang City (Sig value < 0.05). There is a relationship between the characteristics of pregnant women based on the environment, the number of sex partners, and a history of hepatitis B immunization with the incidence of positive HBsAg in the Kecamatan Taktakan, Serang City. Researchers hope that further research can continue with more diverse variables and samples.

Hemodynamic features of pregnant women with atrial septal defect in the third trimester of pregnancy: A literature review

Due to the decline in mortality rates among children with heart disease, a significant number of such children have reached reproductive age. However, since knowledge about the impact of pregnancy on haemodynamics in women with heart disease is limited, this study is extremely relevant. The study aimed to provide a comprehensive review of current scientific sources and consolidate the knowledge gained on haemodynamic features in pregnant women with atrial septal defects. Several methods were used in the study: analysis, including comparative analysis, synthesis, bibliography, systematisation, and categorisation. A two-stage approach in the form of a systematic literature review was also used. The complex haemodynamic changes that occur in pregnant women, both in normal and pathological conditions, in particular in pregnant women with atrial septal defect, are considered. The question is specified as to why hemodynamic changes become most significant in the third trimester of pregnancy, their impact on the course of pregnancy, and the outcome of labor completion. The topic of acute and chronic complications of atrial septal defect and modern principles of their prevention and treatment are covered. Special attention is paid to the methods of correction of this heart defect, considering their advantages, disadvantages and possible complications. The experience of perinatal centres in several European countries in managing pregnancies in women with cardiovascular disease, in particular with atrial septal defects, is reviewed. Gaps in knowledge about the prevalence of these defects and risk factors were filled. The study addressed the lack of a comprehensive view of this problem: from pathophysiological basis and epidemiology to treatment and modification of risk factors. The study is of great practical value for healthcare professionals, as it can serve as a basis for the development of preventive programmes and other interventions for pregnancies of women with congenital cardiovascular disease

Analysis of the characteristics of pregnant women affect nurse interaction with self hypnosis approach in prevention of preeclampsia

Introduction: Preeclampsia is one of the most common medical problems during pregnancy and is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. Through professional antenatal care services, increasing knowledge and behavior in pregnancy care is expected to be able to prevent the occurrence of preeclampsia. The interaction of the client nurse with the self-hypnosis approach will increase the mother's abilities. This study aimed to analyze pregnant women's characteristics influencing nurses' interaction with a self-hypnosis approach in the prevention of preeclampsia.

Characteristics of Pregnant Women and Risk Factors of Their Newborn for Admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Nepal.

Nepal has progressed gradually in reducing under-5 mortality and neonatal mortality; however, they are still high at 30.8 and 19.8 per 1000 live births, respectively. Neonatal mortality constituted about 64% of the under-5 mortality in 2019, higher than the global average of 47%. This is a prospective study among pregnant women and their newborn babies in Siddhi Memorial Hospital, Bhaktapur, Nepal, from October 2017 to April 2018. Demographic and clinical data, high vaginal swabs of pregnant mothers, and umbilical cord blood were collected. High vaginal swabs were cultured, and umbilical cord blood samples were cultured and tested for inflammatory markers. After discharge to home, neonates were followed for 28 days of life by weekly phone calls. Total number of pregnant mothers enrolled was 151. The median age was 26 years (IQR: 18-40), and the proportion of adolescent mothers was 4.7%. Half of the deliveries were done by the caesarian section, and 8.6% had gestational age <37 weeks. High vaginal swab cultures were positive in 8.2% of the samples (n=135), and Escherichia coli was the most common bacteria. Out of 153 newborn babies (2 were twins), 8 (5.2%) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The proportion of low birth weight was 13%, and it was independently associated with neonatal intensive care unit admission (adjusted OR=9.4, 95%CI 1.8-50.1; P value= 0.009). Adolescent pregnancies and Low Birth Weight babies were commonly observed. Both of these issues need to be addressed by effective measures that would improve the current situation of maternal and child health in Nepal.

Karakteristik Baduta dan Analisis Pengembangan Aplikasi STOP STUNTING dalam Upaya Penurunan Kasus Stunting

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by insufficient intake for a long time. There has been an increase in stunting in Indonesia, especially the prevalence of stunting under five in Jambi Province is higher than the national figure of 37.9%. The implementation of nutrition interventions has not been integrated, from the planning process to evaluation at the central, regional and village levels. As a result, the coverage and quality of various basic services is less than optimal. Therefore, this study aims to analyze application development as an effort to monitor the evaluation of health workers. The method used is a descriptive method with a survey approach, the population in this study is health workers, cadres, midwives from two pilot health centers in West Tanjab, namely Pijoan Baru Health Center and Sungai Saren Health Center with a total sampling of 18 people. The results of the study concluded that there are still a lot of data on infants and mothers that are difficult to monitor, through the STOP STUNTING application on the toddler monitoring feature added warnings (danger signs on toddler growth) (83.3%), symptoms of hyperthyroidism at birth (72.2%), data completeness of the baby at birth (77.78%), early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding (88.89%), and cognitive development of toddlers (66.67%). In the features of pregnant women, the identity of the primary health center is needed (88.89%), participation in the class of pregnant women (66.67%), consumption of blood-added tablets (77.78%), and a history of infectious diseases of pregnant women (55.56%) , and reporting the results of the application in the form of a cohort table (88.9%).

Relationship Between Serum Ferritin Levels and Patient Characteristics in Pregnant Women

Abstract: Ferritin is an iron storage protein and is found extracellularly in serum. Serum ferritin functions as a clinical marker of the status of body iron stores. Low ferritin levels illustrate low iron stores that lead to iron deficiency conditions that result in anemia in pregnant women. Several maternal characteristics affect ferritin levels in pregnant women. This study aims to determine the relationship between characteristics and ferritin levels in third trimester pregnant women. Taking the research location, TGK Chiek Ditiro Sigli Regional General Hospital, Aceh, Indonesia with a total sample of 45 respondents who have met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research method is observational analytic by taking maternal venous blood to check ferritin levels and then looking for its relationship with the characteristics of pregnant women and analyzed using chi square. More than half (83%) of the respondents had ferritin levels &lt;30 pg/ml. The results of the analysis using chi square (p value = &lt;0.05) showed that there was a relationship between age (0.04) and parity (0.01) with ferritin levels in third trimester pregnant women. And there is no relationship between education (0.71) and occupation (0.23) with ferritin levels in third trimester pregnant women. Age and parity are related to ferritin levels in third trimester pregnant women. While education and work are not related to ferritin levels in third trimester pregnant women. It is expected that pregnant women increase the consumption of foods that contain lots of iron to prevent anemia and health workers provide socialization of types of foods that contain lots of iron.

Clinical and laboratory features in pregnant women with body weight deficiency

In recent years, endocrinopathy, in particular, and body weight deficiency have taken an important place in the structure of genital and extragenital pathology. Background somatic diseases are a risk factor for pregnancy loss, but the detailed mechanisms of influence on the course of pregnancy and childbirth in patients with body weight deficiency have not been studied. The objective: to evaluate the clinical and laboratory parameters of pregnant women with body weight deficiency. Materials and methods. A clinical, laboratory and functional examination of 200 pregnant women with body weight deficiency and 30 pregnant women with normal body weight was carried out. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated according to A. Ketle formula. Results. In women with body weight deficiency before pregnancy, the reduction in nutrition (BMI 19.1±0.4 kg/m2) was 50%, hypotrophy of the I degree (BMI 18.0±0.5 kg/m2) – 41% and hypotrophy of the II–III degrees (BMI 16.3±0.9 kg/m2) – 9%. It was established that the total frequency of genital pathology before pregnancy in women with a body weight deficiency was 51.5%, among which menstrual cycle disorders predominated (16.5%). It was found that in pregnant women with a body weight deficiency, the increase in body weight occurs mainly (70–80%) due to lean body mass. During the assessment of clinical and biochemical indicators, no significant differences were found in the levels of hemoglobin, glucose, total protein and blood cholesterol compared to the indicators of women with normal body weight. However, a high frequency of hypocalcemia (71.7–92.8%), which correlates with the degree of hypotrophy, was found in women with body weight deficiency.Conclusions. Pregnant women with body weight deficiency are characterized by a high cumulative frequency of genital pathology before pregnancy, the absence of reliable changes in the levels of hemoglobin, glucose, total protein and blood cholesterol, and the presence of hypocalcemia.

Prevalence of High-Risk Pregnancies and Their Characteristics in Pregnant Women at Sukamulya Community Health Center in 2020

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the important parameters to measure the degree of public health in a country. Pregnant women who have high risk pregnancy risk factors have a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than women with low-risk pregnancies. Objective for knowing the prevalence of risky pregnancies and their characteristics in pregnant women at the Sukamulya Public Health Center in 2020. This study uses total sampling method. There were 136 research subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Data is collected by secondary data in the form of medical records. The majority of the subjects were pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies (72.8%) with the risk factors possessed by pregnant women at the Sukamulya Public Health Center from the highest to the lowest, respectively, were comorbidities (52.9%), age (36.8%), BMI (19.1%), history of cesarean (17.6%), blood pressure (16.9%), total parity (8.8%), gestational interval (7.4%), history of habitual abortion (3.7%), number of fetuses (2.9%), and maternal height (1.5%). The majority of pregnant women at the Sukamulya Health Center, Cigugur Village, Kuningan, West Java are pregnant women with high risk pregnancies (72.8%).

Intimate partner violence disclosure and associated factors among pregnant women attending a city hospital in South-Western Uganda: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a public health problem in Uganda that negatively impacts maternal and newborn health outcomes. However, IPVdisclosure and associated factors among pregnant women have remained poorly documented in southwestern Uganda. Therefore, this study determined IPV disclosure and associated factors among pregnant women attending a large City hospital.MethodsIn a cross-sectional design, 283 women attending Mbarara City Hospital Antenatal care (ANC) clinic were consecutively recruited into the study. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. This was administered by the research team and the exercise took over a month. That is; from 7th January 2019 to 7th February 2019. The collected data was entered in STATA, and it was analyzed using chi-square, and univariate logistic regression statistics.ResultsOut of the 283 pregnant women who participated in the study, 199 of them, representing seventy-point three percent (70.3%), had reportedly experienced at least one type of IPV during their current pregnancy. However, nearly fifty percent of those that experienced IPV (49.7%, n = 99) disclosed it to a third party, while the majority disclosed it to their biological family member (66.7%), followed by their friends (55.5%), members of their husband’s family (35.3%), neighbors (12.1%), healthcare providers (9.1%), religious leaders (8.1%), and the police (3.1%). Gravidity, OR = 1.9(95% CI: 1.07–3.31, p = 0.027), parity OR = 1.9(95% CI: 1.08–3.34, p = 0.026) and witnessed IPV OR: 5.4(95% CI: 1.93–14.96; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with IPV disclosure.ConclusionA large proportion of the pregnant women who experienced IPV did not disclose it to any third party. In addition to the above, pregnant women's characteristics seem to have a strong influence on IPV disclosure. Therefore, it is important for healthcare providers to routinely screen for IPV during antenatal care if a high IPV disclosure rate is to be achieved.

Effect of Self-Care Guidelines on Knowledge and Practice of Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Context: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a kind of hyperglycemia and one of pregnancy's most common health problems. It affects 1%-28% of pregnancies worldwide, representing approximately 18 million births annually. It is considered a major cause of prenatal morbidity and mortality.&#x0D; Aim: The present study aims to construct and evaluate the effect of self-care guidelines on the knowledge and practice of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.&#x0D; Methods: Quasi-experimental (one group pre/post-test) design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. The study subjects consisted of 200 pregnant women recruited from the antenatal clinic. The data collection tools include a structured interviewing questionnaire to assess the pregnant women's characteristics, obstetric history, and women’s knowledge regarding gestational diabetes mellitus. The second tool was women-reported self-care practice checklists of pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (pre/post-self-care guidelines).&#x0D; Results: A women's mean age of 29.7±5.8 and 1.97±0.91 was the mean gravidity. The majority (96%) of studied women had unsatisfactory knowledge, only 4% of them had satisfactory knowledge about GDM, and 95% of them had unsatisfactory practice about GDM. Only 5% of them had satisfactory practice about GDM before self-care guidelines implementation compared to 90% and 94% satisfactory knowledge and practice, respectively, with a highly statistically significant difference between the two phases (P&lt;0.001).&#x0D; Conclusion: The study concluded a positive effect of the self-care guidelines in improving women's knowledge and self-care practices regarding GDM. The study recommended regular and continuous health educational programs to enhance women's knowledge and self-care practices regarding GDM with further application of self-care guidelines in different settings.
