Abstract

Background: Cesarean section has a maternal mortality risk 4 times higher than those with normal birth. In Kediri, the incidence of cesarean section increased, i.e. 8.5% in 2012 to 15.3% in 2015. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the factors affecting cesarean section deliveries in Kediri.Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytical study with case control design. A total sample of 50 women giving birth with cesarean section and 50 normal birth. The population was all women giving birth by cesarean section in Kediri. A sampling technique was using a Fixed Sampling Disease. Data analysis used multiple logistic regression.Results: Maternal age <20 or ≥35 years was lower the chances of having cesarean 0.83 times compared to mothers aged 20-35 years and was not statistically significant (OR = 0.83; 95% CI = 0:26 to 2.78, p = 0.757), Parity 1 and ≥4 increase of 1.64 times more likely to undergo cesarean section than parity 2-3 and was not statistically significant (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 0.60 to 4:58, p=0341). Less physical activity during pregnancy increases the likelihood of cesarean section 1:10 of times and was not statistically significant (OR = 1:10; CI 95% = 0:38 to 2.90, p = 0932). Mothers who experienced complications during labor increases the risk 12 times through cesarean section and was statistically significant (OR = 12; 95% CI = 3.56 to 41.81, p <0.001). Mothers who do their own request for delivery by cesarean section increases the likelihood 21 times through cesarean section and was statistically significant (OR = 21:24; 95% CI = 5.22 to 86.33, p <0.001).Conclusion: There is a positive correlation, very strong and statistically significant between the complications of labor and delivery at hisown request by cesarean section.Keywords: cesarean section, affecting factorsCorrespondence: Dian Rahmawati.

Abstract

Background: Infants with low birth weight or LBW is one of the risk factors for infant mortality. Complications LBW actually can be prevented and dealt with, but is constrained by access to health care, socio-economic circumstances, a referral system that has not gone well, delays in early detection and awareness of parents to seek medical help. By looking at the number of deaths caused by LBW remains high, and research on the causes of LBW widely used partial analysis, and have not been analyzed in stages, the researchers conducted this research with multilevel analysis.Subjects and Method: This was an observational studt with case control design. A total sample of 120 infants were selected by fixed disease sampling with a ratio of 1: 2 between cases and controls. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: There are three variables at the individual level were significantly associated with LBW and was statistically significant can among others, mother’s education (OR= 0.19; 95% CI= 0:07 to 0.53; p= 0.001), history of ANC t (OR= 7.76; 95% CI= 2.18 to 27.62; p= 0.002) and the nutritional mother status (OR= 5.61; 95% CI= 0.21 to 0.79; p= 0.008) and the variables that are not statistically significant is the mother’s age and family income, and there are  no contextual role within house with wellness facilities with LBW expressed by ICC < 0.001.Conclusion: The influence of maternal education, a history of the ANC examination and nutritional status of mothers with LBW and there is no contextual role of distance between home and health care facilities with LBW. This study suggests to health professional to improve the coverage of the ANC.Keywords: multilevel analysis, factor low birth weightCorrespondence: Yulia Nur Khayati.

Abstract

Background: Various products are common in the market for vaginal hygiene purpose, such as povidone iodine vaginal douche, extract of betel leaf, and other herbal internal vaginal hygiene products. However, it is hypothesized that these hygiene products may hamper female fertility. This study aimed to examine the effect of vaginal hygiene product use on female fertility, while controlling for the level of physical activity, age at marriage, and body mass index.Subjects and Method: This study was analytical-observational with case control design, conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia. The study population were women aged 15-49 years old. A total of 55 infertile women and 55 pregnant or post-partum women were selected as cases and controls, respectively, by using fixed diseases sampling. The dependent variable was infertility. The independent variables were external and internal use of vaginal hygiene product, level of physical activity, age at marriage, and body mass index (BMI). The data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: External use of vaginal hygiene product decreased the risk of infertility, but it was statistically non-significant (OR=0.62; 95%CI= 0.22 to 1.74; p=0.366). Internal use of vaginal hygiene product (OR=14.97; 95%CI= 1.66 to 135.16; p=0.016), heavy physical activity (OR=7.95; 95%CI= 1.54 to 41.08; p=0.013), age at marriage>29 years (OR=3.66; 95%CI= 0.68 to 19.76; p=0.131), BMI<18,5kg/m2(OR=1.62; 95%CI= 0.31 to 8.56; p=0.572), and BMI ≥ 25kg/m2(OR=23.17; 95%CI= 4.05 to 132.40; p<0.001) increased the risk of infertility.Conclusion: Internal use of vaginal hygiene product, heavy physical activity, age at marriage>29 years, underweight, and overweight, are risk factors of infertility in women. Women who use vaginal hygiene product internally should be aware that this practice significantly increased the risk of infertility.Keywords:Female infertility, vaginal hygiene product, physical activities, age at marriage, body mass indexCorrespondence: Ayu Kusuma Puspasari Arifin.

Abstract

Background: According to David Barker’s fetal origins hypothesis, the period of gestation has significant impacts on the developmental health and wellbeing outcomes for an individual ranging from infancy to adulthood. In the current study, toddlers growth is hypothesized to be affected by various gestational exposure and psychosocial factors at early childhood. In addition,the government has launched the class-room program for mothers of toddlers, which aimed improve maternal ability to raise healthy children. This study aimed to determine the effect of gestational factors,psychosocial,andmaternalclass-room programon toddler’s growth.Subjects and method: This was an observational analytical study with case-control design. The study was conducted in Banjarnegara, Central Java, Indonesia, from July 29 to August 31, 2016. A total of 120 toddlersaged 3 months to 5 years old along with their motherswere selected for the study by fixed exposure sampling. The exogenous variables were family support, family income, maternal education, maternal physical activity, and maternal participation in the class-room program. The endogenous variables were toddler’sbirthweight, weightfor age,height for age, weight for height. The data were collected with a questionnaire and anthropometric measures. The data were analyzed using path analysis model.Results: Maternal education (b=-2.44; p<0.001), birth weight (b= 0.01; p=0.038), family support (b = 0.04; p = 0.048), and maternal participation in the class-room program (b=1.29; p=0.007), had direct significant effect on toddler’s weight for age. Birth weight (b= 0.14; p=0.279), maternal participation in the class-room program (b=4.92; p=0.020), maternal education (b=-11.76; p=0.209) had direct significant effect on toddler’s height for age. Birth weight (b<0.01; p=0.047), maternal participation in the class-room program (b=0.01; p=0.016), family income (b=-0.01; p=0.549), maternal education(b=-0.01; p=0.008) had direct significant effect on toddler’s weight for height. The goodness of fit statistics for the three outcome variables indicated  the goodness of fit of the model specified in the path analysis.
