Abstract

Background: Physiological and psychological anxiety significantly impacts maternal and fetal health. Lack of knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth dominates the causes of anxiety. This study investigated whether third-trimester pregnancy anxiety can be reduced by receiving health education about pregnancy and labor. Methods: Quasi-experimental quantitative research was conducted using a design consisting only of before and after tests. The sample consisted of 64 third-trimester samples selected using a purposive sampling approach. The measuring instrument used was the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-R2. Univariate analysis tests and bivariate analysis were conducted to see the significance and differences before and after treatment using paired t-tests. Results: It was found that most of the subjects were primigravida 36 (56.2%) respondents, the majority were aged 20-35 years 47 (73.4%), and the majority of education was Bachelor 27 (42.2%), and the majority of economic income < regional minimum wage. Most pregnant women experienced anxiety before childbirth in the moderate category 35 (54.7%) respondents. Demographic factors of education, parity, and economic income have a significant relationship with a p-value of 0.000, but age has no relationship with the incidence of anxiety. Conclusion: The difference between pre and post by looking at the two-tailed sig number with a result of 0.000 <0.05, the Confidence interval value of the difference is lower 0.900 and upper 1.099. In the t-test, the sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.000 (<0.05), which shows that health education about pregnancy and childbirth reduces the anxiety of third-trimester pregnant women facing labor.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a transitional period characterised by significant physical, psychological, and social changes, including reproductive maturation. Limited knowledge and negative attitudes toward reproductive health can increase adolescents’ risk of engaging in unhealthy behaviours. Understanding their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours is crucial for developing effective educational interventions. Objective: This study examined the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and reproductive health behaviours among adolescents. Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted at a junior high school in Batam City from March to June 2024. Of 250 students, 72 were selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Chi-square test. Results: Most respondents had moderate knowledge of reproductive health (41.7%), positive attitudes (63.9%), and good reproductive health behaviour (55.6%). Bivariate analysis showed significant correlations between knowledge and behaviour (p = 0.021) and between attitudes and behaviour (p = 0.015). Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes are significantly associated with adolescents’ reproductive health behaviour. Strengthening reproductive health education in schools is recommended to improve adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices.

Abstract

Background: Midwifery-led care (MLC) is a continuity of care model that positions midwives as the primary responsible providers in managing low-risk pregnancies. Despite endorsement by the World Health Organization, its implementation in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of MLC intervention on maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-risk pregnancies.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at four primary health centers in Surabaya, Indonesia, from January to December 2024. A total of 240 low-risk pregnant women meeting inclusion criteria were allocated into two groups: MLC intervention (n=120) and conventional care control (n=120). Outcomes measured included preeclampsia, preterm delivery, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, and maternal satisfaction. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t-test, and multivariate logistic regression with significance set at p<0.05.Results: The MLC group demonstrated significantly better maternal outcomes, including lower cesarean section rate (15.7% vs 28.2%; p=0.018), lower preeclampsia incidence (5.2% vs 13.7%; p=0.024), and lower postpartum hemorrhage (3.5% vs 10.3%; p=0.034). Neonatal outcomes also showed significant differences in low birth weight (4.3% vs 12.0%; p=0.029) and neonatal asphyxia (2.6% vs 8.5%; p=0.041). Overall maternal satisfaction was higher in the MLC group (92.2% vs 71.8%; p<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified MLC as a protective factor against adverse maternal-neonatal outcomes (OR=0.42; 95% CI: 0.24–0.73; p=0.002).Conclusion: Midwifery-led care intervention significantly improves maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-risk pregnancies and enhances maternal satisfaction with care. This model is recommended for broader implementation within the Indonesian maternal and child healthcare system.

Abstract

Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a major public health issue that negatively affects women’s psychological well-being and reproductive health. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an approach to health services that recognizes the long-term effects of trauma and incorporates this understanding into all aspects of patient care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TIC implementation in midwifery services on the psychological recovery of pregnant and postpartum women with a history of GBV in Medan City. Methods: This study applied a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design involving 86 pregnant and postpartum women identified through GBV screening at six primary health centers in Medan. Participants were divided into a TIC intervention group (n=43) and a control group (n=43). Psychological outcomes assessed included post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms using the PCL-5, depression with the EPDS, anxiety with the GAD-7, self-efficacy with the GSE, and mother–infant bonding using the PBQ. Data collection was conducted at baseline, week 8, and week 16. Statistical analysis employed repeated measures ANOVA and multiple linear regression.Results: Women receiving TIC showed significantly better psychological outcomes at week 16 compared with the control group. PTSD, depression, and anxiety scores decreased significantly, while self-efficacy and mother–infant bonding improved markedly (p<0.001). TIC also emerged as an independent predictor of psychological recovery after adjustment for confounding variables (β=-0.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: Trauma-informed care in midwifery services effectively enhances psychological recovery among women with GBV histories and should be integrated into maternal healthcare standards for vulnerable populations in Indonesia.
