Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Pregnancy Class Program in West Java Province and develop policy recommendations to enhance maternal health outcomes. Method: A literature review was conducted using journal databases including ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles published between 2018 and 2024 were retrieved using keywords such as “evaluation,” “implementation,” “policy,” “pregnancy class,” “prenatal education,” and “West Java.” From 58 identified articles, six studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and thematically analyzed. Results: The review identified several challenges in implementing pregnancy classes in West Java, including low participation rates, limited partner and family involvement, and barriers faced by working mothers. Digital innovations, such as video-based education and online classes, have effectively increased maternal knowledge and participation. Furthermore, family-oriented approaches and prenatal yoga sessions had a positive impact on maternal preparedness and confidence. Conclusion: The pregnancy class program holds significant potential to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes in West Java. However, to maximize the effectiveness of its online educational sessions and offline interactive activities, such as prenatal yoga, is recommended. Additionally, to maximize its effectiveness, high-quality video content, continuous training for healthcare workers, and sufficient funding should be integrated to enhance the program's reach and impact.

Abstract

Introduction: Globally, maternal mortality remains a major public health concern, with an estimated 223 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births and more than 800 women dying every day from preventable pregnancy-related causes. The burden is disproportionately high in low-resource settings, including coastal and island regions. This review aimed to identify the strategic approaches implemented to improve maternal health and antenatal care in these areas.Methods: A systematic search was conducted for studies published from 2000 to April 2025 in the PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases. Of the 1,054 articles identified, 1,017 were screened, 54 met the eligibility criteria for full assessment, and 41 studies were ultimately included in the review.Results: The findings revealed several key strategies: mobile clinics, outreach services, and emergency transportation for pregnant women (n=6); telemedicine and mHealth initiatives (n=12); engagement of community health workers and local personnel (n=13); strengthening maternal waiting homes, delivery systems, and referral mechanisms; and integration of ANC with other health programs (n=10). These approaches highlight efforts to overcome socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural barriers to accessing essential maternal health services in coastal regionsConclusion: We recommend empowering local health workers, leveraging technology for outreach, strengthening referral and transport systems using data for targeted actions, and fostering community engagement to improve maternal health outcomes in coastal regions. Understanding the effectiveness and challenges of these strategies is crucial for developing context-specific interventions to reduce maternal mortality and enhance ANC coverage in underserved coastal communities.
