Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors associated with abortion at Sitti Fatimah Makassar Mother and Child Hospital. Research Design and Methodology: The research employed an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional study design. This design was used to examine the correlation or association between independent variables and the dependent variable. The study population consisted of 107 respondents, and the sampling technique used was Random Sampling, where samples were selected randomly from the population. Findings and Discussion: The analysis of 107 respondents revealed several key findings: a significant relationship was found between age and the incidence of abortion (p = 0.005); no significant relationship was found between parity and abortion (p = 0.058); a significant relationship was identified between pregnancy spacing and abortion (p = 0.000); a significant relationship was also found between nutritional status (hemoglobin levels) and abortion (p = 0.000); and a significant relationship was established between a history of previous abortions and the current incidence of abortion (p = 0.000). Implications: These findings highlight the importance of considering factors such as age, pregnancy spacing, nutritional status, and previous abortion history in the prevention and management of abortion cases at the hospital. This could inform healthcare practices and policies aimed at reducing the incidence of abortion by addressing these associated factors.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the relationship between environmental factors—such as clean water supply, fecal disposal, waste treatment, household waste security, and household drinking water treatment—and the incidence of typhoid fever in Barru District, South Sulawesi. The hypothesis suggests that inadequate environmental sanitation and poor water supply are major contributors to the spread of typhoid fever. Research Design and Methodology: The research utilized a cross-sectional observational design, focusing on 80 Barru Regional General Hospital patients. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria. Data were gathered through direct observations, structured interviews, and hospital medical records. The Chi-Square test was used to analyze the relationships between the identified variables. Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate a significant relationship between clean water supply and household waste security with typhoid fever incidence. Respondents lacking access to clean water and proper waste management practices showed a higher risk of infection. However, no significant associations were observed between typhoid fever incidence and factors like fecal disposal, waste treatment, or household drinking water treatment. Implications: These results suggest that policy interventions aimed at improving water supply and waste management practices at the community level could effectively reduce the incidence of typhoid fever. Future research should investigate the interaction between these environmental factors and individual behaviors, extending the study to other regions for a more comprehensive understanding.

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.
