Abstract

Background: The postpartum period is a crucial period for the mother's recovery after childbirth. One of the health problems that commonly occurs in postpartum mothers is low back pain (LBP), which can affect the quality of life and ability to care for the baby. Moxa therapy is a traditional treatment method that is believed to reduce pain and speed up recovery. Objective: This article aims to review the benefits of moxa therapy for postpartum women Method: A literature search was carried out through the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases using the keywords Moxa therapy postpartum, moxibustion for postpartum recovery, moxa massage for postpartum mothers, and traditional Chinese medicine for postpartum. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were published within the last 5 years and discussed the benefits of moxa therapy for postpartum women. Conclusion: Moxa therapy has various benefits in reducing lower back pain in postpartum women, including improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, relaxing tense muscles, and improving quality of life. With increasing interest in traditional medicine, moxa therapy may be an effective and safe option for postpartum women with lower back pain.

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a decrease in the availability of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and contraceptive services, reduced access to services, and increased risk of infection for health workers. coverage of antenatal care, contraception and immunization has decreased significantly. Nagari Kambang Utara also experienced a decrease in the coverage of MCH services during the pandemic. Therefore, to support the recovery of maternal and child health services during the pandemic, health workers need to work together with cadres to reach all communities in order to get the health services they need. Empowering cadres is a step that is needed to help optimize maternal and child health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method of activities carried out is by using participatory methods from the target group, namely the health partners and the community of Nagari Kambang Utara. The activity began with conducting a workshop related to the formation of health cadres for the Nagari Kambang Utara. After the workshop was carried out, it was continued with data collection for cadres and training of health cadres in accordance with the work focus, namely cadres of pregnant women, maternity mothers, postpartum mothers, breastfeeding mothers, infant and toddler cadres and family planning cadres. The proposing team and partners agreed to work together to optimize the performance of health cadres by conducting cadre training and evaluation and agreed to carry out cooperation in the next 5 years. The results of this activity are expected to increase the achievement of MCH and family planning services and decrease MMR and IMR.

Abstract

Existing risk assessment tools in pregnancy are limited in their predictive capabilities, whereas effective risk assessment should incorporate non-medical variables such as cultural and religious contexts of women, typical of African settings. This sstudy explored perception about risk in pregnancy, assessed knowledge about risk in pregnancy, examined risk status and related factors among pregnant women in Ile-Ife, southwest Nigeria. Study employed sequential explanatory mixed method design. Quantitative datac was collected using modified Dutta & Das Prenatal Scoring System from 239 pregnant women selected through a two-stage sampling technique. Regression analysis examined relationship between dependent and independent variables. Level of significance was p<0.05. Focus Group Discussion explored participants’ perception about risk in pregnancy. Qualitative responses were analyzed thematically. Findings showed that 80.5% had positive perception about risk in pregnancy, 19.5% had negative perception, 29.0% had good knowledge about risk in pregnancy, 17.3% of the pregnant women had poor knowledge while 53.7% had fair knowledge. Study observed significant relationship between high risk in pregnancy and age group 15-24 years (p=0.01, RRR= 0.67, CI= 0.12-3.63), ethnicity (p=0.02, RRR=12.93, CI=1.42-117.76), poor knowledge about risk in pregnancy (p=0.03, RRR=4.08, CI=1.19-13.98), primigravidity (p=0.001, RRR=0.01, CI=0.002-0.08), multigravidity (p=0.001, RRR=0.04, CI=0.02-0.29) and vaginal birth (p=0.001, RRR=0.21, CI= 0.08-0.54). Qualitative findings resulted in three themes namely; women’s perception about risk in pregnancy, perceived causes of risk in pregnancy, perceived risk preventive measures in pregnancy. Study concluded that women’s age, ethnicity, knowledge about risk in pregnancy, gravidity and mode of birth were main predictors of risk in pregnancy. Intervention programs should take cognizance of these variables especially cultural contexts of women.

Abstract

Planning for safe delivery and anticipating actions needed during obstetric emergencies are vital strategies towards reduction in maternal mortality and morbidity. Study explored perception about danger signs of pregnancy among expectant mothers, assessed level of knowledge about danger signs of pregnancy, examined birth preparedness and related factors among expectant mothers in Ogbomosho, southwest Nigeria. Study employed sequential explanatory mixed method design. Quantitative data was collected using questionnaire adapted from John Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, JHPIEGO (2004) from 483 expectant mothers, selected through multistage sampling technique. Binary logistic regression examined relationship between dependent and independent variables, p < 0.05 was significant. Focus Group discussion was conducted among 32 participants selected purposively, qualitative responses were analyzed thematically. Quantitative findings revealed that 34.8% of the mothers had good knowledge about danger signs of pregnancy, 65.2% had poor knowledge,36.9% had adequate preparation towards childbirth while 63.1% had inadequate preparations. Binary logistic regression analysis shows that good knowledge about danger signs of pregnancy (p=0.03, OR=0.54. CI=0.31-0.94) was the main predictor of birth preparedness among expectant mothers. Main themes from qualitative responses include knowledge about obstetric danger signs; recognition of obstetric danger signs; perceived severity of obstetric danger signs and perceived susceptibility to obstetric danger signs. Good knowledge about obstetric danger signs was the main predictor of birth preparedness; effective maternal health services aiming at favourable pregnancy outcomes should focus on educating women on early identification of obstetric danger signs and prompt decision making capabilities.

Abstract

Introduction: Approximately 80% of cervical cancer occurs in developing countries of which India contributes about 20-30% of the global burden. WHO considers cervical cancer as a preventable disease because it can be diagnosed in its precancerous phase. Cytology and VIA for screening and colposcopy for directed biopsy jointly may achieve accuracy of approximately 90% to 99%.Methods: An observational cross sectional comparative study was performed to find accuracy of screening protocols of exfoliative cervical cell cytology and visual inspection under acetic acid in terms of the diagnostic test of Colposcopy guided biopsy on 300 symptomatic women of age 18-60 years over the period of one year.Result: Both PAP and VIA positivity increased with age, increasing parity, gynaecological symptoms. PAP and VIA positive results co related with Colposcopy directed biopsy histopatholgy reports in a statistically significant proportion.Discussion: VIA can screen out a large number of women suspected to have cervical cancer in an easy method done in OPD in naked eye and does not require any meticulous microscopic examination with a high degree of sensitivity and high false positivity but on the other hand PAP was less sensitive but more specific test when both combined with Colposcopy guided biopsy.Conclusion: The associations between distribution of women who were Pap +ve and histology +ve as well as VIA and histo +ve were statistically significant.

Abstract

Changes in the immune response during pregnancy until postpartum cause an increased risk of infection during pregnancy, including skin infections. Tinea cruris is a dermatophyte infection of the inguinal folds, inner thighs, perineum and buttocks. One of the risk factors for tinea cruris is obesity. Obesity aggravates the condition, causing skin changes and conditions (inflammatory and hypertrophic-based) that are often associated with excessive fungal or bacterial growth. Obesity is a risk factor for infection in Caesarean wounds. This case study will describe a patient who experienced an infected Caesarean wound with tinea cruris

Abstract

Based on WHO data, Indonesia is one of the countries contributing around 10,000 cases of Hansen’s morbus  2019. Hansen's morbus, or leprosy, is a chronic bacterial infection (Mycobacterium leprae) that attacks skin tissue, peripheral nerves, and the respiratory tract. Hansen's disease can occur during pregnancy and worsen during pregnancy. Pregnancy causes a relative decrease in cellular immunity. This can be explained because immunosuppression occurs during pregnancy. Pregnancy is dangerous for women with Hansen’s morbus . This case study describes a case of habitual abortion with Hansen’s morbus . The patient had a history of Hansen's morbus and had discontinued the medication. During pregnancy, the patient never underwent examination and treatment for Hansen's morbus. So, the patient experiences the habit of abortion. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out good treatment for pregnant women with Hansen's disease so that the mother and fetus receive appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Worldwide, bacterial infections are a main cause of morbidity and mortality, mainly in low-income countries. The world emergence of antimicrobial resistance negatively impact the management of infectious diseases. Nationwide, there is an increasing concern over antimicrobial resistance (AMR) recently evaluated to contribute for more than 700,000 deaths per year across the globe. The key objective of this present study is to characterise the antimicrobial resistance patterns of urinary tract organisms isolated from pregnant women’s urinary samples analysed at Lancet Clinical Laboratories in Zimbabwe from January to December 2021. This was a laboratory based, cross sectional study conducted among pregnant women’s samples analysed at the laboratory. Microbiology results logbook and patients’ clinical data were used to evaluate basic descriptive statistics (proportions and mean) of participants engaged in this study. We describe the characteristics of variables of respondents where categorical variables were portrayed in the form of numbers and percentages in table, figures format. The prevalence of UTI was 60% with the main isolated bacteria being Escherichia coli (28.10%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.18%) and Kleibseilla pneumoniae (10.27%). There was association between gestational ages with UTI. The prevalence of AMR was 54%. The highest resistant drugs being Ampicillin (60%), Vancomycin (45%) and Penicillin (40%), the least resistant were chloramphenicol (15%), ciprofloxacin (23%) and nitrofurantoin (25%). The prevalence of AMR was high with regards   to AMR prevalence rates in a study conducted in Zimbabwe Bulawayo. This is mainly due to the misuse of drugs therefore re-enforcement of prescription-only policies is crucial.

Abstract

Adolescent girls need information about the menstrual process and health during menstruation. Young women will experience difficulties in facing their first menstruation if they have never previously known or discussed it with their peers or parents. This research aimed to determine the association between parental support and the readiness of adolescent girls to face menarche. This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 105 adolescent girls and parents who were determined using a simple random sampling technique using a questionnaire on parental support and readiness to face menarche via Google Form. Based on the Chi-Square test, there is a significant association between parental support and the readiness of young women to face menarche (p-value = 0.002). Adolescent girls with good family support are three times more prepared to face menarche than those who do not have good family support, with an OR (95% CI) = 2.981 (1.263–7.037).
