Abstract

Prolonged labor remains a primary risk factor contributing to the rising rates of cesarean sections. This condition is commonly triggered by inadequate uterine contractions or pelvic disproportion, which, if left unmanaged, can jeopardize the safety of both mother and fetus. Given the importance of maintaining a physiological (normal) birth process, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of date consumption as a natural alternative for strengthening contractions. The active compounds in dates play a vital role in optimizing uterine function mimicking the effects of the hormone oxytocin making this research strategically significant in efforts to reduce invasive medical interventions during childbirth of this study was to determine the effectiveness of dates on the duration of active phase I and phase II labor at the Pondok Gede Bekasi TPMB. Was a quasi-experimental study with a post-test with control group design. The research sample involved 64 respondents divided into two groups. One group was given date fruit intervention, and one control group was only given sweet tea. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data analysis used the Independent Sample T-test because the data were normally distributed. The results showed that dates were effective in reducing the duration of active phase I labor with a p-value = 0.000 (<0.05), but were not effective in reducing the duration of stage II labor in mothers in labor because they had a p-value of 0.327 (>0.05).

Abstract

Severe preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity worldwide. Identifying specific maternal characteristics is crucial for early intervention. This review synthesizes evidence regarding the association between maternal traits and severe preeclampsia incidence. A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect for studies published between 2016 and 2025. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist, five high-quality articles were selected based on strict eligibility criteria. Synthesis of the five core studies identifies advanced maternal age (>35 years), high pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI), chronic hypertension, parity, and inadequate antenatal care (ANC) as primary predictors. These factors significantly elevate the risk of progression to severe clinical features. Early screening of maternal risk profiles and optimized antenatal monitoring are essential to mitigate the incidence of severe preeclampsia.
