Abstract

Background: Maternal health literacy (MHL) is essential in identifying pregnant women with limited MHL, especially in the post-COVID-19 period. The data can assist in the design of tailored interventions for improving MHL. Nevertheless, MHL measurements are not routinely applied because more general health literacy scales are used to assess MHL in pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to provide an overview of MHL measurement development. Method: A scoping review was utilized in this study. The search was conducted through four electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct) published in English and Indonesian between 2001 to 2021, with the searching process of PCC (Population: pregnant women, Concept: maternal health literacy instrument development, Context: clinical or community setting). The selection process of the articles is referred to as Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Result: The selected articles' critical appraisal was done using The Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. The measurements of MHL are Maternal Health Literacy and Pregnancy Outcome Questionnaire (MHLAPQ), Maternal Health Literacy (MaHeLi), and Maternal Health Literacy Inventory in Pregnancy (MHELIP). These instruments are adequate, valid, and reliable. The MHELIP is the fittest instrument to capture the MHL concept because it consists of specific items to measure MHL in pregnancy. Future studies must investigate this topic as thoroughly as the current material available in some databases. In addition, healthcare practitioners can apply the MHL in pregnancy measurement to analyze and report client cases, contributing to the expansion of MHL's body knowledge.

Abstract

Introduction: Gaining insight into the maternal health literacy situation among pregnant women in Indonesia is crucial, as it forms the foundation for crafting precise interventions to enhance the well-being of mothers and infants on a national scale. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspective of maternal health literacy among pregnant Indonesian women. Method: We employed a qualitative phenomenology method to explore maternal health literacy. Purposive sampling was used to collect participants' data. The data saturation was achieved at the thirteenth pregnant woman. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi's strategy to identify themes and subthemes within the phenomenon. Results: Four themes and seventeen subthemes emerged to explain maternal health literacy among pregnant women in this study. These themes include the ability to understand health-related information, search for information related to maternal health during pregnancy, assess and evaluate obtained information regarding pregnancy and maternal health, and decision-making, action, and maternal health behavior. Recommendation: The findings have the potential to benefit multiple sectors and contribute to efforts to improve maternal health in Indonesia. Culturally tailored health education programs, community engagement, empowerment, decision-making support, strengthening healthcare infrastructure, and integrating technology and telemedicine are all essential components

Abstract

Hypertension not only stands as a primary contributor to cardiovascular diseases but also exhibits a strong interconnectedness with psychological aspects, one of which is anxiety. This study aims to develop a consensus-based protocol for the implementation of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in managing anxiety and blood pressure among hypertensive patients. We conducted a Delphi consensus study included a panel of experts with diverse background in hypertension, mindfulness, and psychology. Eleven experts participated in the three rounds of Delphi consensus. The Delphi consensus process resulted in a robust and widely accepted protocol that integrates mindfulness technique, cognitive restructuring, and lifestyle modifications. The definition, aims, indication, and procedures. The core of MBCT covering introduction of mindfulness, mindful awareness of though and emotions, mindful eating and hypertension with D.A.S.H., cultivating gratitude and positivity, mindfulness in daily activities, mindfulness for coping with anxiety, mindfulness and self-compassion, and review and integration. The study represents a crucial step in bridging the gap between research and clinical also community nursing practice, providing a structures framework for healthcare professionals to address anxiety and hypertension simultaneously. This consensus holds significant clinical and community promise, offering a standardized approach to MBCT implementation in hypertensive patient care. By addressing both psychological and physiological aspects, it has the potential to reduce anxiety levels and contribute to improved blood pressure control.
