Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between premarital reproductive counselling and husband support with increased coverage of pure K1 pregnancy visits at Puskesmas Ajangale in 2022. Research Design and Methodology: This study used a correlation study design with a retrospective cohort approach. Secondary data were taken from medical records and observation results, while primary data were obtained through questionnaires. The study population included first trimester pregnant women who had first contact with health workers at Ajangale Health Centre, and the sampling technique was total sampling. Findings and Discussion: The results of the analysis showed that premarital reproductive counselling and husband support had a significant correlation with increased coverage of pure K1 visits. Of the respondents who participated in premarital counselling, the majority made a pure K1 visit. Similarly, respondents who received good support from their husbands tended to be more compliant in conducting pure K1 visits. The P=0.002 value indicates a significant association between these variables. Implication: This study confirms the importance of integrating premarital reproductive counselling programmes in public health policies to increase the coverage of antenatal care visits. Husband support also needs to be improved through education and active involvement in antenatal care. The findings provide valuable insights for health practitioners and policy makers in an effort to improve maternal and child health.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of midwifery-led care on birth outcomes in low-risk pregnancies. Research Design and Methodology: Utilizing a qualitative research approach grounded in a comprehensive literature review, this study synthesizes existing knowledge on midwifery-led care. A systematic search and analysis of peer-reviewed articles, clinical reports, and grey literature were conducted to explore the efficacy of midwifery-led care compared to conventional medical care. Findings and Discussion: The findings highlight the significant reduction in medical interventions associated with midwifery-led care, along with the promotion of physiological childbirth and enhanced maternal and neonatal well-being. Key factors such as continuity of care, patient-provider relationships, and cultural competence play crucial roles in optimizing outcomes. Implications: Policy implications include the integration of midwifery care into mainstream healthcare systems, investment in midwifery education, and advocacy for legislative support to ensure equitable access to high-quality maternity care.

Abstract

Purpose: This systematic literature review aims to examine the multifaceted risk factors contributing to preterm birth and evaluate the effectiveness of various prevention strategies. By synthesizing existing research, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological, behavioral, and socio-economic determinants of preterm birth and identify gaps for future research.. Research Design and Methodology: A qualitative approach was utilized, involving a systematic search of electronic databases to gather relevant peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2000 and 2024. The study employed thematic analysis to identify key themes related to preterm birth risk factors and prevention strategies, incorporating approximately 150 high-quality studies into the synthesis. Findings and Discussion: The review identified critical biological factors such as maternal age and genetic predispositions, with younger and older mothers facing increased risks due to complications like cervical insufficiency and chronic conditions. Inflammatory pathways, hormonal regulation, and uteroplacental blood flow emerged as significant mechanisms leading to preterm labor. Behavioral factors, including smoking and substance abuse, along with poor nutritional status, exacerbated the risk. The discussion highlights the necessity for integrative prevention strategies that address these diverse factors through medical, behavioral, and socio-economic interventions. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of personalized medical care, comprehensive public health strategies, and policy initiatives to reduce preterm birth rates. Future research should focus on integrative models of care and personalized prevention approaches, considering the complex interplay of risk factors identified.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to systematically review the effects of stress during pregnancy on maternal and fetal health, highlighting physiological, psychological, and socio-economic dimensions. Research Design and Methodology: A systematic review design was adopted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. The review included studies focusing on human subjects and examining various stress-related factors and their impacts on pregnancy outcomes. Data was collected through exhaustive searches of electronic databases, followed by thematic analysis and meta-analysis where appropriate. Findings and Discussion: The review reveals significant impacts of prenatal stress on maternal and fetal health. Elevated maternal cortisol levels are linked to adverse birth outcomes, such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Prenatal stress also causes structural changes in fetal brain development, leading to long-term cognitive and behavioral issues. Systemic inflammation resulting from chronic stress exacerbates these effects. Socio-economic and cultural disparities further intensify the negative impacts of prenatal stress. Tailored interventions, including culturally competent care and improved access to healthcare, are essential for mitigating these effects. Implications: The study underscores the need for comprehensive stress management programs for pregnant women, policies enhancing healthcare accessibility, and interventions addressing socio-economic stressors. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and exploring genetic mechanisms to develop more effective interventions. These efforts are crucial for improving maternal and fetal health outcomes globally.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the role of maternal health literacy in preventing pregnancy complications and evaluates the effectiveness of various educational interventions designed to enhance health literacy. Research Design and Methodology: Utilizing a quantitative design, this research involved pre-and post-tests to measure changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes among diverse demographic participants. Participants were divided into control and experimental groups. Educational interventions were implemented, including prenatal classes, online courses, and community workshops. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using statistical methods. Findings and Discussion: The study revealed a significant correlation between increased health literacy and reduced pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm labor. This positive correlation underscores the potential for improved maternal and child health outcomes. Educational interventions significantly enhanced health literacy, with different models showing varied effectiveness based on accessibility and engagement. These findings align with the Health Belief Model and Self-Determination Theory, reinforcing the positive impact of health literacy on maternal and child health outcomes. Implications: The research underscores the importance of tailored educational interventions in promoting maternal and child health. Policymakers and healthcare providers should prioritize developing comprehensive, accessible, culturally sensitive health education programs. Addressing socio-economic disparities and providing continuous support is crucial to ensuring that all mothers and children have equal access to healthcare and can benefit from improved health literacy. Future research should explore long-term impacts and innovative educational technologies to enhance maternal health outcomes further.
