Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of midwifery-led care on birth outcomes in low-risk pregnancies. Research Design and Methodology: Grounded in a comprehensive literature review, this study employs a qualitative research approach to synthesize existing knowledge on midwifery-led care. A systematic search and analysis of peer-reviewed articles, clinical reports, and grey literature were conducted to explore the efficacy of midwifery-led care compared to conventional medical care. Findings and Discussion: The findings highlight the significant reduction in medical interventions associated with midwifery-led care, the promotion of physiological childbirth, and enhanced maternal and neonatal well-being. Key factors, including continuity of care, patient-provider relationships, and cultural competence, are crucial in optimizing outcomes. Implications: Policy implications include integrating midwifery care into mainstream healthcare systems, investing in midwifery education, and advocating for legislative support to ensure equitable access to high-quality maternity care.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the level of mothers' knowledge about primary immunization for infants in the working area of Puskesmas Kassi-Kassi Makassar City. Research Design and Methodology: This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 37 mothers with babies aged 0-12 months who visited the Kassi-Kassi Health Centre in February 2023. The sampling technique was accidental sampling. Findings and Discussion: The results showed that most mothers had a good understanding of primary immunization, including its definition, purpose, and benefits. The level of education and access to adequate information significantly influenced this knowledge. Most respondents knew that immunization protects infants and children against tuberculosis, pertussis, hepatitis, measles, and poliomyelitis. However, some mothers still lack adequate knowledge, which is often caused by low educational levels and limited access to information. Implications: This study makes a significant contribution to the field of public health by demonstrating the relationship between education level, access to information, and mothers' knowledge of immunization. These results can inform the development of more effective health education policies and programs. This study also emphasizes the importance of ongoing support from healthcare workers in offering counseling on primary immunization. Further efforts are needed to improve mothers' immunization knowledge through intensive and comprehensive extension programs.
