Abstract

Introduction: The Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, a severely persecuted ethnic minority of Myanmar, face numerous challenges related to their sexual and reproductive health (SRH), including access to appropriate services. This systematic review examines the SRH status of Rohingya refugee women in Bangladesh, focusing on barriers to accessing SRH services and interventions to address their specific SRH needs. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus, as well as gray literature, from August 2017 to July 2023. Both quantitative and qualitative studies were included, with data extraction and analysis performed independently by two authors using a narrative synthesis approach. Results: Out of 394 citations, ten studies met the criteria. The findings revealed that 48.9% of Rohingya women were unaware of SRH service access, only 11% received frequent (once fortnightly) visits by family planning personnel, 70% lacked knowledge about HIV/STIs, and over two-thirds believed that family planning required husband approval. The prevalence of contraceptive use was 50.9%, with cultural and religious beliefs and gender dynamics significantly influencing family size decisions. Discussion: Cultural preferences impacted family size decisions, and limited awareness of permanent birth control widened the SRH education gap. The review emphasizes the need for comprehensive, community-based interventions, including door-to-door visits, culturally tailored outreach programs, and SRH education within refugee camps. To address the SRH needs of Rohingya women, adopting a multifaceted approach that promotes SRH education, improves service accessibility, and empowers women to make informed reproductive choices is essential.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted maternity care and affected the psychosocial well-being of pregnant women in India. Purpose: This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on access to maternity care, psychosocial health, and information satisfaction among pregnant women in South India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary hospitals in South India between September 2020 and January 2021 as part of the global COCOON study. A convenience sample of 321 pregnant women receiving antenatal care participated in an online survey available in English and Telugu. Psychosocial well-being was assessed using validated scales: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), and De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS). Results: Despite the pandemic, 87.2% of women continued attending antenatal check-ups. However, 44% reported moderate-to-severe anxiety, 52% experienced depressive symptoms, 91% had high stress levels, and 82% felt lonely. Additionally, domestic violence increased by 10%, while 58% of participants reported strengthened family connections. Healthcare providers emerged as the most trusted information source (79%). Conclusion: "Despite continued access to maternity care, the pandemic significantly impacted the psychosocial well-being of pregnant women. Integrating routine mental health screening and support into antenatal care is crucial to improving maternal well-being and ensuring resilient maternity services during public health emergencies."

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, stunting remains a very serious challenge for public health development. Nationally, the stunting prevalence in 2023 was 21.6% which was still above the threshold set by WHO. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze maternal characteristics with stunting occurrence at Puskesmas Air Periukan. Methods: The study used a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. The target population comprised all mothers with toddlers aged between 6 and 59 months. The sample were 65 mothers that were selected using purposive sampling technique. Questionnaire, that its validity and reliability had been previously established by the research team, was used in collecting the data. The data then analyzed using the chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression. Results: A highly significant correlation was observed for maternal age, parity, and family income. Conversely, the variables of education, occupation, and maternal knowledge had no significant correlation. The multivariate test results showed that age could increase the stunting occurrence by 1.084 times (OR = 1.084, 95%CI: 0.256-97.697), while the income factor increased the stunting risk by 2.153 times (OR = 2.153, 95%CI: 0.056-8.822). Conclusion: Stunting in children under five is influenced by maternal age, parity, and family economic status. Healthy reproductive age and having fewer children reduce the risk of stunting. Conversely, maternal education, knowledge, and employment do not have a significant impact. Low economic conditions are the primary factor increasing the risk of stunting.

Abstract

Background: Pain during labor can be caused by unmanaged anxiety, then causing tension in the lower uterine segment, cervix, and ischemia in the uterine muscles so the sensation and intensity of pain felt during labor is getting stronger. Hypnobirthing is one of the actions that can be done to reduce pain during labor. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of hypnobirthing in reducing the scale of pain in mothers giving birth. Methods: This type of research is a narrative literature review using PICO. Article searches are accessed through several databases, including Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Google Scholar, and Portal Garuda. then the articles are selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and then analyzed. Based on 19 journal articles that have been analyzed, the implementation of the hypnobirthing method in mothers in labor has proven effective in reducing pain during the labor process. Conclusion: The benefits of hypnobirthing that directly affect the mother are that it can make the mother feel comfortable and relaxed during the labor process, and reduce the production of catecholamine and adrenaline hormones but increase the endorphin hormone in the mother, proven to be successful in reducing the scale of pain in mothers giving birth. However, there are several factors that affect the effectiveness of hypnobirthing, such as when hypnobirthing is done, how consistently the mother does hypnobirthing and also how focused the mother is on doing deep relaxation as one of the stages of hypnobirthing itself. Further research should be conducted on the combination of the hypnobirthing method with other pain management to determine the effectiveness of this management in reducing pain during the labor process.

Abstract

Background: Maternal anxiety is a psychological factor that can interfere with the breastfeeding process, while breastfeeding self-efficacy—defined as a mother's confidence in her ability to breastfeed—is a strong predictor of exclusive breastfeeding success. Hypnobreastfeeding is a therapy that combines relaxation techniques and positive suggestions to help reduce anxiety and enhance self-efficacy. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnobreastfeeding therapy in reducing anxiety levels and increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy among postpartum mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted involving 60 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling (30 in the intervention group, 30 in the control group). The intervention consisted of four hypnobreastfeeding sessions delivered over a two-week period. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and breastfeeding self-efficacy was assessed with the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (BSES-SF). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests to compare pre- and post-intervention scores. Results: The intervention group showed a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels (p < 0.001) and a significant increase in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores (p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: Hypnobreastfeeding is an effective intervention for reducing maternal anxiety and improving breastfeeding self-efficacy. It is recommended as a supportive approach in breastfeeding education and maternal mental health programs in clinical and community health settings.

Abstract

Background : Adolescence is an important stage for starting high-risk behavior, including in the realm of sexuality. Race or ethnicity is an important factor related to sexual behavior. Perpose: to evaluate the behavior of adolescents in engaging in high-risk sex from the perspective of their respective ethnic cultures. Methods : This systematic review followed the 2020 version of the PRISMA guidelines. The initial search was conducted from April to June 2023. Search sources from 4 databases, using 5 keywords: adolescent, sexual behaviour, high-risk behaviour, sexual risk, and reproductive behaviour. Criteria: observational study, using English, 2000 to 2023, school adolescent population. There were 1,492 papers found after searching the database. The systematic review contained the final 11 research following screening and eligibility determination. Results : Overall, high-risk sexual behavior appears to demonstrate no significant differences among Latino, Hispanic, European, and American adolescents. However, in Asia, pre-marital sex remains highly stigmatized in contrast to its acceptance in Europe and America. Acculturation emerges as a critical predictor contributing to increased high-risk sexual behavior. In Latin adolescents, a lack of compliance with family ties (Familismo) strongly correlates with high-risk sexual behavior. Moreover, in Hispanic adolescents, paternal discipline seems to have a greater association with high-risk sexual behavior compared to maternal discipline. Notably, there were no discernible differences among ethnicities concerning gender, indicating that males across these groups were more prone to engaging in high-risk sexual behavior. Conclusion. Sex education is a prevalent topic among Western societies, primarily aimed at curbing unsafe sexual behavior to prevent venereal diseases. In contrast, Asian cultures still regard sex education as taboo, placing emphasis on preventing extramarital sexual activity.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a global prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnancy ranging from 35-75%. In Padang City’s Lubuk Begalung Region, the 2022 health profile indicated a 12.9% incidence of CED among 1,268 pregnant women. Several factors influence CED incidence, including age, economic status, education, pregnancy spacing, parity, employment, and antenatal care (ANC) visits. Purpose: To identify factors associated with CED among third-trimester pregnant women in the Lubuk Begalung Health Center Working Area. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study involved 57 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Inclusion criteria were third-trimester pregnant women aged 24-40 weeks who could communicate effectively, excluding those who could not be contacted after three attempts. Data collection involved interviews using a structured questionnaire, and analyses were performed using chi-square and logistic regression with a 95% confidence interval. Results: CED was observed in 21 respondents (36.8%). Key factors included age <20 or >35 years (59.3%), low economic status (55.0%), low education level (53.8%), unemployment (51.5%), and ?3 ANC visits (56.5%). Age was the dominant factor (p = 0.005, b = 6.623). Conclusion: Age, education, occupation, and ANC visits were significantly associated with CED, while economic status, pregnancy spacing, and parity were not. Future studies should explore additional factors influencing CED.

Abstract

Background: Maternal mortality remains a significant public health challenge in Ghana. Understanding the level of knowledge among pregnant women regarding maternal mortality is crucial for designing effective interventions. Purpose: To evaluate the knowledge of maternal mortality and its determinants among pregnant women at Tamale Teaching Hospital in the Northern Region of Ghana. Methods: An institution-based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at Tamale Teaching Hospital in the Northern Region of Ghana. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 240 pregnant women attending ANC services at the facility. The data were analyzed using John's Macintosh Project (JMP) Statistical Software version 17.1. Results: The response rate in this study was 97.5%. The majority of pregnant women (52.6%) had good knowledge of maternal mortality, while 47.4% had poor knowledge. Significant determinants of knowledge of maternal mortality were educational level (OR=3.69, p=0.002), occupational status (OR=4.00, p=0.001), monthly income (OR=3.67, p=0.001), age at first pregnancy (OR=2.84, p=0.021), number of weeks in the current pregnancy (OR=0.41, p=0.041), previous history of intrauterine fetal distress (IUFD) (OR=5.01, p=0.021), presence of chronic illness (OR=7.93, p=0.001), and obstetric labor complications readiness (OR=8.93, p<0.001). Conclusion: Although the majority of pregnant women had good knowledge of maternal mortality, special attention should be given to women in the second trimester and those with previous histories of IUFD or chronic illnesses to address gaps in knowledge and ultimately reduce maternal mortality rates.
