Abstract

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious and lethal disease that occurs predominantly in African countries, with a case-fatality rate of 30–90%. The causative viral pathogens of EVD are within the genus Ebolavirus in the family Filoviridae. The primary route of human-to-human transmission is through direct contact with blood, bodily fluids and secretions from infected individuals. Direct contact with virally contaminated objects and sexual transmission have also been reported. Management of EVD is aggressive supportive care with possibly new therapeutic options. On 20 September 2022, an EVD outbreak was declared in Uganda, caused by Sudan ebolavirus. As of 7 November 2022, a total of 136 confirmed cases, 53 confirmed deaths have been reported, including 18 cases with seven deaths among healthcare workers. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), an EVD outbreak was also declared on 22 August 2022 (which ended on 27 September 2022); with only one case, a middle-aged woman. At the time when most countries in the world have been occupied with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the recent human monkeypox outbreak, these two outbreaks of EVD have the potential to significantly add to the burden on global health. Authorities need to augment their multi-faceted response, including stringent contact tracing and border control, to avoid the catastrophe of the 2014–2016 EVD epidemic.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal mortality rates around the world are still high. The first place out of 25 countries in Asia Pacific is Salomon Island with 327 per 100,000 live births, while the sustainable development goal target in 2030 is 70 per 100,000 live births. Factors influencing the high maternal mortality rate are pregnancy complications, demographics, sanitation, maternal education, and husband's education. Knowledge deficits require intervention in order to change behavior with appropriate approaches, such as the HBM (Health Belief Model). Objective: to determine changes in health behavior with the application of the Health Belief Model among pregnant women. Methods: This study used a literature review design. The databases involved in the search are Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria: research with the topic Health Belief Model in Pregnancy, publication 2018-2023, full text Mesh terms used: health belief model AND pregnant women OR pregnancy. Result: Database extraction results obtained (n = 8) articles from 235 articles. Educational or evaluation materials that use Health Belief Model were nutrition education, prevention of anemia, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, influenza vaccination, prevention of urinary tract infections, and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusions: This review demonstrates the lack of evidence-based research to apply Health Belief Model to pregnant women. Nurses need to apply the concept of health belief model to pregnant women in future research and education.
