Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between premarital reproductive counseling and husband support with increased coverage of pure K1 pregnancy visits at Puskesmas Ajangale in 2022. Research Design and Methodology: This study used a correlation study design with a retrospective cohort approach. Secondary data were obtained from medical records and observational results, while primary data were collected through questionnaires. The study population consisted of first-trimester pregnant women who had their first contact with health workers at Ajangale Health Centre, and the sampling technique employed was total sampling. Findings and Discussion: The analysis results showed a significant correlation between premarital reproductive counseling and husband support, as well as increased coverage of pure K1 visits. Of the respondents who participated in premarital counseling, the majority made a pure K1 visit. Similarly, respondents who received good support from their husbands tended to be more compliant in conducting pure K1 visits. The P-value of 0.002 indicates a statistically significant association between these variables. Implication: This study confirms the importance of integrating premarital reproductive counseling programs in public health policies to increase the coverage of antenatal care visits. Husband support must also be improved through education and active involvement in antenatal care. The findings provide valuable insights for health practitioners and policymakers to improve maternal and child health.

Abstract

Purpose: This systematic literature review examines the multifaceted risk factors contributing to preterm birth and evaluates the effectiveness of various prevention strategies. By synthesizing existing research, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological, behavioral, and socioeconomic determinants of preterm birth and identify gaps for future research. Research Design and Methodology: A qualitative approach was utilized to systematically search electronic databases to gather relevant peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2000 and 2024. The study employed thematic analysis to identify key themes related to preterm birth risk factors and prevention strategies, incorporating approximately 150 high-quality studies into the synthesis. Findings and Discussion: The review identified critical biological factors such as maternal age and genetic predispositions, with younger and older mothers facing increased risks due to complications like cervical insufficiency and chronic conditions. Inflammatory pathways, hormonal regulation, and uteroplacental blood flow emerged as significant mechanisms leading to preterm labor. Behavioral factors, including smoking and substance abuse, along with poor nutritional status, exacerbated the risk. The discussion highlights the necessity for integrative prevention strategies that address these diverse factors through medical, behavioral, and socio-economic interventions. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of personalized medical care, comprehensive public health strategies, and targeted policy initiatives in reducing preterm birth rates. Future research should focus on developing integrative models of care and customized prevention approaches, taking into account the complex interplay of identified risk factors.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to systematically review the effects of stress during pregnancy on maternal and fetal health, with a focus on the physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic dimensions. Research Design and Methodology: A systematic review design was adopted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. The review included studies focusing on human subjects that examined various stress-related factors and their impact on pregnancy outcomes. Data was collected through exhaustive searches of electronic databases, followed by thematic analysis and meta-analysis where appropriate. Findings and Discussion: The review reveals significant impacts of prenatal stress on maternal and fetal health. Elevated maternal cortisol levels are linked to adverse birth outcomes, such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Prenatal stress also causes structural changes in fetal brain development, leading to long-term cognitive and behavioral issues. Systemic inflammation resulting from chronic stress exacerbates these effects. Socio-economic and cultural disparities further intensify the negative impacts of prenatal stress. Tailored interventions, including culturally competent care and improved access to healthcare, are essential for mitigating these effects. Implications: The study underscores the need for comprehensive stress management programs for pregnant women, policies enhancing healthcare accessibility, and interventions addressing socio-economic stressors. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and exploring genetic mechanisms to develop more effective interventions. These efforts are crucial for improving maternal and fetal health outcomes globally.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze in depth the understanding and perceptions of women of childbearing age regarding breast self-examination (BSE) as an early detection measure for breast cancer. The primary focus is on technical knowledge, subjective meaning, and social and cultural influences that shape women's health behaviors. Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a qualitative approach, grounded in a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The articles analyzed were selected based on their relevance to the theme, the time frame of 2015–2024, and publication in reputable international journals such as SAGE, BMC, and Elsevier. The analysis process involved extracting thematic data from various sources to identify patterns, gaps, and determinants of behavior related to SADARI. Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that although most women of reproductive age are aware of SADARI, a significant gap remains between knowledge and practice. Factors such as shame, fear, social stigma, and cultural norms significantly influence the shaping of attitudes and behaviors. In addition, internal factors such as motivation and self-efficacy also influence the decision to perform SADARI regularly. Implications: This study highlights the importance of a contextual and responsive educational approach to addressing the social realities faced by women of reproductive age. The findings can serve as a basis for designing community interventions and culturally informed health policies to increase participation in breast cancer early detection practices.
