Assistance of Women's Organizations in the Prevention of Maternal and Child Mortality

The increase in the Maternal Mortality Rate not only reflects maternal health problems, but also shows the existence of gender inequality and injustice. The low public awareness of pregnant women's health also contributes to the high number of AKI. Therefore, the participation of women's organizations in society is highly expected to be involved, contribute, and responsible for women's issues. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide assistance and training to women's organizations in an effort to prevent maternal and child deaths. This activity was carried out in the city of Makassar, especially in areas that are the center of women's community organization activities and there are pregnant women. The mentoring was carried out for 3 months, starting from June to August 2023, using pre and post test analysis. The results of this service activity show that women's organizations can play a role as a companion for pregnant women, which is assessed through increasing knowledge and attitudes before and after participating in training.

Tourism and Ethnodevelopment: Female Contribution in Rural Community-Based Agritourism

The ethnodevelopment emphasizes cultural dimension as identity form, the encouragement of local and marginalized groups in decision-making, and the crucial role of the indigenous knowledge and skill to sustain local livelihood. In contrast, females in rural areas have the same potential as men. It is then necessary to empower females with many ethnic backgrounds as farmers. The Women Farmers Group is a forum consisting of women engaged in agricultural activities within various ethnic groups. In addition, females expect to play a role in economic empowerment to achieve financial independence and build their territory. This research uses a qualitative perspective to illustrate Community Based Agritourism, which dominated ethnic lives in two rural areas of the Pesawaran Regency, and the female characteristics among farmers groups to promote the territory by linking social capital from many stakeholders. Agritourism initiates the diversification of agriculture products and supports the revitalization of rural areas. It is also an important instrument to improve the social status of the female. Both local and national levels in agritourism development need to promote female contributions. The assistance of Women in economic empowerment requires solid institutional support. Furthermore, it emphasizes state institutions as the key players in agritourism development.

Women Assistance in Fertile Age Couples in the use of Contraception as an Effort to Suppress Baby Booms During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The use of contraceptives in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic has decreased by 35% to 47%. This resulted in the pregnancy rate increasing by 67 pregnancies from the previous year. In West Java, the pregnancy rate jumps by 10%. One of the efforts to suppress the spike in baby births is through the Keluarga Berencana (KB) program for couples with childbearing age.

Violence against Women: Analysis Recorded in the Special Police Stations for Women Assistance

Type of Conception and Outcomes in Women with Singleton Pregnancy

An estimated 4.9 million women in India are infertile. If we add secondary infertility to these estimates, the number of infertile couples in India may rise to 17.9 million. Increased use of assisted conception services and information on outcomes after assisted conceptions are useful, to appropriately counsel women who utilize such services. To determine as to whether outcomes of pregnancy differ between assisted conceptions and natural conceptions in pregnant women with singleton foetuses. A retrospective observational study done a single tertiary care centre in southern India. This study included pregnant women with singleton gestations, who delivered at the study institute in 2012. Assisted conception was considered to include all invasive and non-invasive methods like ovulation induction (OI), Intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytopalsmic sperm injection (ICSI). Outcomes of interest included gestational age at delivery, birth weight, small for gestational age babies, still births, neonatal deaths and caesarean sections. Point estimates and the 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) around point estimates of associations with assisted conceptions and outcomes were determined by using bivariate analysis and a multivariate logistic regression model. This study included 6,712 women who were pregnant with a singleton foetus, including 460 (6.85%, 95% CI: 6.27, 7.48) women who conceived with assistance Women who conceived with assistance were more likely to be older (p<0.001), nulliparous (p<0.001), who had a higher prevalence of obesity (p<0.001), pre-gestational diabetes mellitus (p=0.009), gestational diabetes (p<0.001) and pre-pregnancy hypothyroidism (p<0.001) in this population. Assisted conceptions were not significantly associated with small for gestational age babies (p=0.09), still births (p=0.56), or neonatal deaths (p=0.89). Assisted conceptions were associated with a higher incidence of caesarean sections (adjusted OR: 1.37, 95%CI: 1.11-1.70) in a multivariate logistic regression model. After adjusting for differences in maternal characteristics, pregnant women with singleton foetuses, who conceived with assistance, had similar outcomes, except for higher caesarean section rates, as compared to women who conceived naturally.

Informed Choice Assistance for Women Making Uterine Fibroid Treatment Decisions: A Practical Clinical Trial

There is limited evidence about how to ensure that patients are helped to make informed medical care decisions. To test a decision support intervention for uterine fibroid treatments. Practical clinical trial to test informed choice assistance in 4 randomly assigned gynecology clinics compared to 5 others providing a pamphlet. Three hundred women facing a treatment decision for fibroids over a 13-month period. Mailed DVD and brochure about fibroid treatments plus the Ottawa decision guide and an offer of counseling soon after an index visit. Mailed survey 6 to 8 weeks later asking about knowledge, preferences, and satisfaction with decision support. In total, 244 surveys were completed for an adjusted response rate of 85.4%. On a 5-point scale, intervention subjects reported more treatment options being mentioned (3.0 v. 2.4), had a higher knowledge score (3.3 v. 2.8), and were more likely to report being adequately informed (4.4 v. 4.0), and their decision was both more satisfactory (4.3 v. 4.0) and more consistent with their personal values (4.5 v. 4.2). Neither knowledge nor use of the intervention was associated with greater concordance between preferences and decisions. Implementation of intervention may not have been well timed to the decision for some patients, limiting their use of the materials and counseling. It is difficult to integrate structured decision support consistently into practice. Decision support for benign uterine conditions showed effects on knowledge and satisfaction but not on concordance.

Análise de correspondência como estratégia para descrição do perfil da mulher vítima do parceiro atendida em serviço especializado

Domestic violence perpetrated against women by their live-in partners may be rated as a public health problem. Knowledge of battered women's profiles helps shape specific actions that curtail this type of aggression. This paper examines the links between violence groups, and the socio-demographic status of aggressors and their victims, using the Multiple Correspondence analysis technique in order to profile the women helped by the Integrated Women's Assistance Center (CIAM). The findings showed different profiles for women assaulted by their partners in terms of the severity of the violence. Victims with severe sexually-related injuries were associated with incomplete high school educations and more than three workers resident in the home. Victims with serious physical and psychological injuries were related to university educations and graduate studies, declared as heads of families. Victims with minor physical and psychological injuries were related to relationships lasting less than five years, with high school diplomas for the women and younger aggressors, employed, and with up to three workers resident in the home.

Health assistance model and nursing care given to women planning to breast feed

The present study shows that the nursing practices used on women's assistance, looking forward breast-feeding, transcend an individual technical action. It is known that the kind of assistance practiced will depend on the guidelines set by each institutional organization. These guidelines are based on a prevailed health model which is determined by social and organizational relations that are part of different societies and institutions. The objective of this study is to analyse the relation between the model of breast-feeding assistance established by SUS (Unique Health System) and the actual nursing practice within the Basic Health Units (UBS) of SMS-RP (Municipal Health Office of Ribeirão Preto). Semi-structured interviews with nursing workers were adopted in order to have a report of their practices concerning breast-feeding assistance. The data was examined on the basis of the analyses of content of Bardin (1977). Results showed that there is a considerable difference between the theoretical postulate, and the assistance that is actually practiced. This happens because the nursing practices are submitted to a biomedical model, centered on patients' complaints, which favors medical assistance actions and reinforces prompt assistance. For this reason the study couldn't detect any significant changes regarding the uniqueness of health actions. It was observed that some nursing workers were closer to a better understanding of women care assistance, however the daily determinations have hindered more concrete actions that could transform this practice.
