Mothers who are in the period of pregnancy and childbirth are prone to experience anxiety and depression due to the change in role from an ordinary woman to a mother. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of pregnant and postpartum women. This study aims to describe the relationship between the mental health of pregnant women and the incidence of depression during pregnancy and childbirth, the impact of depression on pregnancy and childbirth, prevention, and treatment of depression in pregnant and postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used is a literature review by collecting research sources in the 2019-2023 range from online databases such as GARUDA, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The sources collected were filtered using the PRISMA method to produce concise facts about the topics to be discussed. From 10 articles, various studies were found from several countries debating the factors that cause depression during pregnancy and childbirth such as the role of partners, family, social support, lifestyle, education, and the economy. There are depressive impacts on the mother and fetus, such as premature birth, baby blues, malnutrition, impaired brain growth, low birth weight, and stunting. Early prevention and treatment need to be done to prevent adverse effects and even further complications.

Abstract

At the Sikumana Public Health Center, maternal and infant mortality rates are still high, and the Minimum Service Standards have not been achieved optimally, which means that program management has not been fully implemented properly due to problems with funding, facilities, and suboptimal health worker performance. Health center employees, especially health workers, need to have high knowledge, skills, and motivation to support performance and achieve organizational goals. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of work ability and work motivation on the performance of health workers at Sikumana Public Health Center. Using the Slovin method, 89 respondents were selected from a total population of 113 Sikumana Health Center employees, with a quantitative cross-sectional technique. Documentation, interviews, and questionnaires were the data collection methods used. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 was used to analyze data using multiple linear regression and descriptive analysis. From the results of the multiple regression analysis, the performance of health workers at Sikumana Health Center was influenced by work ability. The t-test result for the work ability variable (X1) is 0.000 < 0.05 and tcount > ttable (6.636 > 1.98761). As a consequence, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. The work motivation variable (X2) produces a t-test result of 0.000 < 0.05 and its tcount> ttable value is 4.948 > 1.98761. This shows that work motivation has an effect on the performance of health workers at the Sikumana Health Center, H2 is accepted and H0 is rejected. The F-test result shows that the work ability and work motivation factors have a simultaneous effect on the performance of health workers at the Sikumana Health Center. H0 is rejected and H3 is accepted with an Fcount value = 98.404 > Ftable = 3.10. The adjusted R Square value obtained is 0.696. The dependent variable (performance) can be explained by the independent variable (work ability and work motivation) with a magnitude of 69.6%. This value has an estimated standard error of 2.228. The remaining figure of 30.4% can be explained by other factors not examined in this study. In order to achieve excellent performance, it is expected that workers in the health center can improve their work ability and motivation, which will be supported by infrastructure and work equipment that function well.

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are non-communicable diseases that are the main cause of death in the world, including in the work area of the Oebobo Health Center, Kupang City. The high number of cases of these two diseases encourages the implementation of the Chronic Disease Management Program (prolanis) as a strategic effort to improve the quality of life of sufferers. This study aims to describe the implementation of prolanis in the Oebobo Health Center based on a system approach that includes input, process, and output elements. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The informants consisted of health workers managing prolanis and program participants with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observations, and thematically analyzed documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of prolanis is supported by sufficient and competent human resources, adequate educational facilities and methods, and assessed educational materials. Core activities include medical consultations, group education, prolanis gymnastics, and home visits. The output of this program includes controllable diseases thus reducing the risk of pain and improving health status. However, obstacles were found such as the limitation of health workers if there were enough participants, irregular attendance, and lack of facilities to support physical activities such as education rooms and gymnastics. In conclusion, the implementation of prolanis at the Oebobo Health Center went quite well and had a positive impact on the participants, although there are still challenges that need to be overcome immediately to achieve optimal results.
