Abstract

Tetanus toxoid injection is important as one mandatory vaccine for pregnant women to prevent maternal and neonatal tetanus. This study purposed to examine the barriers of not receiving tetanus toxoid vaccine among women of reproductive age in Nepal. This study used the secondary data using “Multiple Indicators Clusters Survey” round 6 in 2019. Total sample of this study are 2,494 women of reproductive aged 15 to 49 years. The data analysis was done for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate using binary logistic regression. The results in this study revealed that increasing child ever born (CEB) as the main predictor for not receiving TT vaccine, following by higher educational level and wealth index. In conclusion, the TT vaccine is a critical intervention to prevent maternal and neonatal tetanus. Understanding the determinants of TT vaccination coverage, ensuring accessibility to the vaccine, and addressing knowledge gaps among pregnant women are essential for improving TT vaccination rates during pregnancy.

Abstract

Preeclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy complication characterized by elevated blood pressure (>140/90 mmHg), proteinuria, and edema, is a leading cause of maternal mortality. Various risk factors have been identified, including a history of hypertension, age, body mass index (BMI), parity, stress, knowledge level, dietary patterns, exposure to cigarette smoke, and lipid metabolism changes—particularly elevated cholesterol levels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cholesterol levels and the incidence of preeclampsia among pregnant women at Gang Sehat Community Health Center, Pontianak City. Using a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling technique, the study involved 48 pregnant women with gestational age over 20 weeks during the period of May to June 2024. The results showed that 23 respondents (47.9%) had high cholesterol levels. Interestingly, all 17 respondents (35.4%) who experienced preeclampsia had high cholesterol levels. Meanwhile, among the pregnant women who did not develop preeclampsia, 6 respondents (19.4%) had high cholesterol levels, while 25 respondents (80.6%) had normal cholesterol levels. Statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a significant correlation between cholesterol levels and the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women, with an Asymptotic Significance value of < 0.001 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between cholesterol levels and the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women at Gang Sehat Community Health Center, Pontianak City.
