Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of pregnant women’s fear of COVID-19 on their expectations, experiences, and reactions in the first ultrasound examination. This study was conducted with 166 pregnant women who visited the polyclinic in a Hospital of University, on the March and May, 2021 and, have an ultrasound examination for the first time. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), and the Parents’ Expectations, Experiences, and Reactions to Routine Ultrasound Examination Scale (PEER-U). The average age of pregnant women was 29.02±5.56. While 15.1% had a COVID-19 positive history, 8.4% lost someone they knew due to COVID-19. FCV-19S score was found 18.26±5.32. Fear of COVID-19 scores were higher in women who did not work and who had their first pregnancy.  While the mean score for PEER-U before was 59.05±6.99, the mean score for PEER-U after was 65.07±4.53. While a positive correlation was reported between FCV-19S and the scores for PEER-U before (r=0.392), no significant correlation was detected between FCV-19S and the scores for PEER-U after.  Pregnant women were found to experience an average fear of COVID-19. It was found a correlation between COVID-19 and the scores for PEER-U before. The fear of COVID-19 and the scores for PEER-U before were found to be affected by some socio-demographic characteristics.

Abstract

 Purpose: This study aimed to develop a prenatal maternal self-report inventory (prenatal MSRI) based on the Maternal Self-Report Inventory (MSRI) and establish its reliability and validity. Methodology: The components of the prenatal MSRI were examined, and a 4-factor, 32-item questionnaire was developed and completed by 348 pregnant women. Findings: Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 factors and 22 items in this scale. Cronbach’s α coefficient for the total scale was .85. The test–retest correlation coefficient for the total score was .86. The scale showed a significant positive correlation with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, indicating concurrent validity. Originality: The prenatal MSRI is a new instrument with confirmed reliability and validity. Practical Significance: This questionnaire, which takes approximately 5 minutes to complete, offers an instant assessment of maternal self-esteem. Practical and social implications: This scale can be used to assess maternal self-esteem specific to the gestational period, to identify the factors that may reduce self-esteem, and provide nursing support. Limitation: This scale has not been used on pregnant women who require hospitalization due to serious perinatal complications. Therefore, future research should apply this scale on all pregnant women.

Abstract

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is characterized by abnormal placental invasion due to incomplete or complete loss of decidua. PAS subtypes are classified based on the depth of invasion: placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. Placenta percreta is the most severe form of placenta accreta and is characterized by invasion of the placenta through the entire myometrium reaching up to the uterine serosa. The increasing rate of placenta accrete because of increased rate of cesarean delivery. Urological complications are relatively rare in placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), but can be severe. Treatment planning must always involve a multidisciplinary team. Placenta percreta is a very high-risk obstetric condition associated with morbidity and mortality. A 32-year-old woman referred from Maternal Fetal Medicine Polyclinic with G4P2A1L2 37-38 weeks of term pregnancy + total placenta previa suspected percreta PAS 2 grade 3B S2 + once previous CS, and a CCS hysterectomy was planned. PAS with bladder involvement was significantly correlated with massive surgical blood loss. Prenatally, the disorder was predicted with high specificity by the combination of loss of chemical shift artifacts in the steady-state free precession sequence and abnormal vascularization at the uterovesical interface on USG (Ultrasonography)

Abstract

Background: A midwife's fundamental care includes lowering anxiety, improving comfort, and managing labor pain. The health of the mother and fetus is adversely affected by some pharmacologic techniques for reducing labor pain. Applying ice massage to acupressure points can have a variety of benefits, including promoting energy flow there and reducing stress and discomfort by activating peripheral nerve receptors. Activating the spleen (SP6) and large intestine (L14) points reduces labor pain and alleviate anxiety. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the literature to identify the effect of ice massage on labor pain and anxiety at SP6 and LI4 point. Methods : A narrative review of journal articles was conducted. Databases searched were PubMed and Google Scholar. Search terms used were “ice massage”, “labor pain”, and “anxiety”. Limitations included ‘English language’and ‘published between 2000–2024. Results : Reviewed for this paper were 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results were categorised using thematic analysis. Themes that emerged were labor pain and anxiety and will be explored under these themes. Conclusions : The impact of ice massage on labor discomfort and anxiety has been covered in this review of the research. Most of the research articles that were used to source this review were conducted at SP6 and LI4 stages and published in clinical trials. The results of the study showed that applying ice massage to the LI4 and SP6 sites reduced labor discomfort. A midwife may think about using ice massage as a technique to lessen anxiety. Midwives can utilize the results of this study to manage labor discomfort.

Abstract

Vulvovaginitis is very common in pregnancy in our country. Lactobacilli are the normal vaginal microflora which maintains acidic vaginal pH. Lack of hygiene may lead to colonisation of coliforms resulting in vulvovaginitis which in turn may cause serious health problems for the mother and the new-born. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on pregnant women attending antenatal OPD of BMCH on every Wednesday between 1st July to 31st December, 2022 with a preformed questionnaire which dealt with different parameters to observe whether present pregnancy was complicated by any vulvovaginal ailments. Although they had little knowledge about vulvovaginal microbiota, pathogenesis and morbidity of vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, most had a practice of vulvovaginal cleaning with plain water and not commercial douching. Protection against vulvovaginal infection is particularly important for pregnant women as it increases the risk serious maternal and neonatal morbidities. Routine washing of the vulva with plain water is beneficial to maintain cleanliness and prevent vulvovaginal infection. Vulvar cleansing products does not treat infections rather disrupts normal vaginal microbiota thus promotes colonization of uropathogens. Prevention of vulvovaginal infection by simple hygiene maintenance can be achieved by educating antenatal mothers during their visits.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors affecting Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immunization among brides-to-be in Aceh, using a mixed-method approach. Tetanus, a potentially fatal bacterial infection, poses a significant risk, particularly to maternal and neonatal health. Despite government mandates for TT immunization, uptake remains inconsistent. Quantitative data from structured questionnaires assessed respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and healthcare provider support. The qualitative component used in-depth interviews with brides-to-be, healthcare providers, and community leaders to explore contextual factors impacting TT immunization. Results showed that 92.9% of respondents were aged 20-35, indicating the importance of targeting this demographic. While 57.1% held college degrees or higher, a high unemployment rate (35.7%) suggested potential barriers to healthcare access. Misinformation, societal resistance, and religious concerns emerged as key challenges, with misconceptions about vaccine safety contributing to vaccine hesitancy. Recommendations for improving TT immunization uptake include targeted education campaigns, addressing religious and cultural concerns, and simplifying the immunization process. By implementing these strategies, public health authorities can increase TT immunization rates, leading to better maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Aceh
