Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to systematically review the effects of stress during pregnancy on maternal and fetal health, with a focus on the physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic 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 that examined various stress-related factors and their impact 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.

Abstract

Background : Due to their higher nutritional needs, pregnant women are among the most vulnerable groups in society. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 35–75% of pregnant women worldwide suffer from chronic energy deficiency (CED), which is one of the most common nutritional problems. Chronic Energy Deficiency is a condition in which the body does not receive adequate nutrients due to an imbalance in energy and protein intake, ultimately affecting fetal development. Objective: To determine the relationship between the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency among pregnant women at the Bara-Baraya Community Health Center (Puskesmas Bara-Baraya) in 2024. Methods: This study used age, knowledge, and economic status as independent variables, while the occurrence of chronic energy deficiency among the study subjects, observed and measured simultaneously, was the dependent variable. An analytical statistical test was used to explain the research findings, with a total sample of 32 pregnant women examined at the Bara-Baraya Community Health Center in Makassar City between March and April 2024. The sampling method used was accidental sampling. Results and Conclusion: The study showed that: There is a significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of chronic energy deficiency among pregnant women at the Bara-Baraya Health Center in 2024 (significance value = 0.01). There is a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and the incidence of chronic energy deficiency (significance value = 0.02). There is also a significant relationship between economic status and the incidence of chronic energy deficiency (significance value = 0.04). Thus, the prevalence of CED among pregnant women at the Bara-Baraya Community Health Center in 2024 is associated with age, knowledge, and economic factors.
