Gerdaristi program success is as high as the number of maternal and infant mortality from year to year decline. Nevertheless they found several things including not maximal assistance from the volunteer and mothers level of knowledge about high risk pregnancies are still lacking, and still have a maternal and infant mortality in some districts. This is due to several factors that inhibit awareness among pregnant women to give birth at the hospital as well as their lower mortality factor that cannot be predicted from the beginning.Conclusion: Gerdaristi program has been implemented in accordance with the initial plan involving several related sectors, although there is a few things that implementation is not optimal, but rated this program has been quite successful.Keywords: gerdaristi program, maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rateCorrespondence: Titin Ratnaningsih.

Abstract

Background: The number of birth delivery attended by unskilled traditional birth attendant in Brebes District, Central Java, was still high. From January to April 2016, 67 birth deliveries were attended by unskilled traditional birth attendant. This study aimed to delve information in how social and cultural factors influence the decision to choose traditional birth attendants in Brebes, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with phenomenology approach. This study was carried out in Brebes, Central Java. The key informants of this study were midwives, who by snowball sampling technique suggested on the traditional birth attendants and their clients (i.e. laboring mothers) to be interviewed. The data were collected by in-depth interview, focus group discussion, observation, and document review. The researcher did data reduction, data display, and made decision. The data were verified by triangulation of sources technique.Results: Some skilled traditional birth attendants actively collaborated with midwives. Today rarely traditional birth attendants attend birth delivery, although there was a considerable number of community members who sought their help for birth attendant. Community members regard these traditional birth attendants as to have charisma and some supernatural power. Usually traditional birth attendants get involved in cultural ceremonies. Sometimes community members seek traditional birth attendants as a source of advice. In an extended family the decision to choose birth attendant was made by the mother or grandmother of the laboring woman. In a smaller family the decision to choose birth attendant was made by the laboring woman.Conclusion: The decision to choose unskilled birth attendants is made by the family members of the laboring woman, and this choice was influenced by traditional birth attendant’s charisma.Keywords: birth delivery, traditional birth attendant, social and cultural factorsCorrespondence: Ratih Sakti Prastiwi.

Abstract

Background: The primary causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia are hemorrhage (32%), pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia (25%), infection (5%), prolonged labor (5%), abortus (1%), and other causal factors not related to pregnancy and birth delivery (32%). This study aimed to investigate risk factors of post partum hemorrhage in Bondowoso, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with case control design. This study was conducted in Bondowoso, East Java, from  May, 15 to June, 15, 2016. A total of 90 study subjects was selected by fixed disease sampling, consisting of 30 women with post-partum bleeding and 60 control women without post-partum bleeding. The dependent variable was post-partum hemorrhage. The independent variables were age, parity, hemoglobin, obstetric history, use of ANC, and type of birth attendant. The data were collected by questionnaire and medical record. The data were analyzed by mix-effect model.Results: Anemia (Hb <11 g%) (b=2.22; 95%CI=1.05 to 3.39; p=0.001) and obstetric history of bleeding (b=1.31; 95%CI= 0.15 to 2.47; p= 0.027) increased the risk logodd of postpartum hemorrhage, and it was statistically significant. ANC ≥ 4 times (b= -1.46; 95%CI=-2.95 to 0.02; p=0.052) decreased the risk logodd of postpartum hemorrhage, and it was marginally significant. Age <20 year or ≥ 35 year (b= 0.12; 95%CI= -1.01 to 1.26; p= 0.827) and parity = 1 or ≥4 (b= 0.18; 95%CI= -0.95 to 1.32; p=0.754) increased the risk logodd of postpartum hemorrhage, but it was not statistically significant. Multilevel analysis was not needed in this model because ICC <1%.Conclusion: Anemia and history of postpartum bleeding are important risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage. Use of ANC ≥4 times decreases the risk of postpartum bleeding.Keywords: Postpartum bleeding, risk factor.Journal of Maternal and Child Health (2016), 1(4): 205-213https://doi.org/10.26911/thejmch.2016.01.04.01

Abstract

Background: Maternal mortality amounted to 33 cases in Tegal, Central Java, in 2015. The leading cause of maternal mortality rate in Indonesia was obstetric complication, i.e 46.8%. Pregnancy complication may be affected by maternal age, parity, education, and maternal employment status. Various efforts have been implemented by the government to reduce maternal mortality rate, including pregnant woman class. The objective of the pregnant mother class is to increase maternal knowledge in risk factor detection and to increase their willingness to use antenatal care. This study aimed to estimate the association between pregnant woman class and pregnancy complication, while controlling for confounding factors.Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational with case control design. This study was conducted at Pagerbarang, Pangkah and Dukuhwaru Health Centers, Tegal, Central Java. A total of 90 study subjects, consisting of 30 laboring women with complication and 60 without complication. The dependent variable was pregnancy complication. The independent variables were maternal age, parity, education, employment status, and participation in pregnant woman class. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire. The data on pregnancy complication was obtained from the obstetric record at the health center. The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regresion.Results: Parity ≥3 (OR = 3.47; CI 95% = 0.95 to 12.69; p=0.060) and maternal education <senior high school (OR= 8.58; CI 95% = 1.7 to 43.33; p= 0.009) increased the risk of pregnancy complication. Maternal age 20 to 35 years (OR= 0.26; CI 95% = 0.08 to 0.81; p=0.020), employed  mother (OR= 0.21; CI 95% = 0.06 to 0.71; p = 0.012), and participation in pregnant woman class (OR =0.35; CI 95% = 0.12 to 1.05; p = 0.061), decreased the risk of pregnancy complication.Conclusion: Participation in pregnant woman class is associated with decreased risk of pregnancy complication. Parity ≥3 and maternal education <senior high school are associated with increased risk of pregnancy complication. Maternal age 20 to 35 years and employed  mother are associated with decreased risk of pregnancy complication. It is suggested that pregnant women plan their pregnancy in order to prevent pregnancy complication.Keywords: pregnant woman class, pregnancy complication.Correspondence: Siti Maryani.

Abstract

Background: Maternal mortality rate was 359 per 100,000 live birth in Indonesia in 2012. An indirect cause of maternal mortality rate is anemia. This study aimed to investigate effect of maternal education, family income, mother-midwife interface, on the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in Pemalang, Central Java.  Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational with case control design. This study was conducted at Purwoharjo, Rowosari, and Petarukan health centers, Pemalang, Central Java. This study was carried out from March 2 to 27, 2016. A total of 146 pregnant women from the three health centers were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This study consisted of pregnant mothers with iron deficiency anemia (cases) and those without iron deficiency anemia (controls) with equal share. The dependent variable was iron deficiency anemia, which was measured by Sahli method. The independent variables were maternal education, family income, and mother-midwife interface. These variables were measured by a set of questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Better knowledge (b= -1.26; p=0.002), positive attitude (b= -1.01; p=0.019), stronger purchasing power (b= -1.16; p=0.004) had direct effects on reduced risk of iron deficiency anemia, and they were statistically significant. There were positive effects of higher income on stronger purchasing power (b=0.63; p=<0.001), mother-midwife interface on better knowledge (b=0.19; p=0.021), mother-midwife interface on positive attitude (b=0.21; p=0.023), and higher education on better knowledge (b=0.21; p=0.035).Conclusion: Better knowledge, positive attitude, stronger purchasing power, have direct effects on reduced risk of iron deficiency anemia. Higher income has indirect effect on reduced risk of iron deficiency anemia via stronger purchasing power. Mother-midwife interface has indirect effect on reduced risk of iron deficiency anemia either via better knowledge or positive attitude. It is suggested that pregnant mothers increase their interaction with midwives so that they are able to detect sign and symptom of anemia and to take necessary preventive action.Keywords: iron deficiency anemia, pregnant mother, mother-midwife interfaceCorrespondence : Ade Kurniati.
