Abstract

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. The management of PPH requires rapid and accurate clinical decision-making by healthcare professionals, particularly midwives who serve as frontline providers in maternal care. In addition to clinical competence, emotional responses, teamwork, and personal values may influence midwives’ decision-making processes during obstetric emergencies. Objectives: This study aimed to explore midwives’ experiences of clinical decision-making in managing postpartum hemorrhage, with consideration of the role of spirituality in clinical practice. Methods: This qualitative phenomenological study involved 14 midwives working in delivery or postpartum units who had direct experience managing at least two PPH cases within the previous year. Participants were selected using purposive sampling until data saturation was achieved at the 14th interview. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and field notes and analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenological method. Trustworthiness was strengthened through member checking, source triangulation across participants and hospital contexts, peer debriefing, and an audit trail. Results: The analysis revealed four major themes describing midwives’ experiences in managing PPH: (1) emotional responses in life-threatening situations, (2) rapid clinical decision-making based on standard operating procedures (SOP) in critical conditions, (3) midwives’ leadership and teamwork within health system limitations, and (4) the integration of spiritual values as a source of strength and professional meaning in clinical practice. Conclusions: Midwives’ experiences in managing postpartum hemorrhage represent a dynamic process involving emotional regulation, adherence to clinical protocols, teamwork, and spiritual coping. The integration of clinical competence and psychosocial support plays an important role in supporting effective clinical decision-making during obstetric emergencies.

Abstract

General Background The puerperal phase triggers significant physiological, psychological, and social transitions that require structured clinical monitoring to prevent severe maternal affective disorders. Specific Background Primiparous women exhibit heightened vulnerability to postpartum anxiety and depression compared to multiparous mothers due to childbirth unfamiliarity. Knowledge Gap However, maternal psychological adaptive patterns remain under-examined when complicated by unexpected infant clinical vulnerabilities that mandate specialized neonatal care. Aims This case study evaluates maternal postpartum anxiety triggered by newborn health complications in a 26-year-old primigravida. Results Psychometric screening using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales confirmed mild anxiety (score: 8) caused by excessive cognitive overthinking, structural adaptation difficulties, and initial caregiving unfamiliarity. Novelty The evaluation demonstrates that immediate modification of external stressors, such as reducing social media consumption alongside active family support, effectively minimizes postpartum stress. Implications Midwives must provide comprehensive, continuous, and long-term psychosocial interventions to secure optimal maternal-infant health outcomes. Keywords: Postpartum Anxiety, Primigravida, Neonatal Care, Maternal Psychology, Clinical Midwifery Key Findings Highlights Psychometric assessment via the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales identifies a mild anxiety baseline score of 8 in primiparous tracking. Sudden requirements for specialized newborn medical care serve as an immediate trigger for acute maternal cognitive overthinking. Combining targeted social media reduction with consistent familial assistance actively minimizes postpartum emotional distress.

Abstract

Masa nifas merupakan periode pemulihan setelah persalinan yang rentan terhadap terjadinya infeksi, terutama apabila kebersihan area genital tidak dijaga dengan baik. Praktik vulva hygiene menjadi salah satu upaya penting dalam mencegah infeksi postpartum pada ibu nifas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan praktik vulva hygiene pada ibu nifas di Klinik Alfa Medika Asemrowo Surabaya. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif analitik korelasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 50 ibu nifas yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner pengetahuan dan lembar observasi praktik vulva hygiene yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat signifikansi α=0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan baik sebanyak 32 responden (64%) dan praktik vulva hygiene baik sebanyak 33 responden (66%). Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan nilai p-value sebesar 0,000 (<0,05), yang berarti terdapat hubungan signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan praktik vulva hygiene pada ibu nifas. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa semakin baik pengetahuan ibu nifas, maka semakin baik pula praktik vulva hygiene yang dilakukan sebagai upaya pencegahan infeksi postpartum.
