“…Our data also suggest that women with a higher level of knowledge about MHM used disposable sanitary napkins more than those with a low level of knowledge. This finding is supported by studies in India, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Indonesia (Mufdlilah & Rachmawati, 2018) which show that women with good knowledge about MHM tended to maintain good menstrual hygiene (e.g., use of disposable sanitary napkins).…”

Background: Research into menstrual hygiene management (MHM) has been mainly based on menstruation-related knowledge and practices of women and girls in the mainstream Bangladeshi society; socially disadvantaged groups, such as the Bihari refugee women, have largely been ignored. Purpose: This study aims to assess knowledge and practices about MHM among Bihari women in the Mohammadpur Geneva Camp in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: In 2017, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among Bihari women and girls by the trained interviewers using a structured questionnaire. The purposive sampling was applied to select 160 Bihari women aged between 15 and 49. Data were entered, cleaned, and analysed using SPSS software. Both univariate and bivariate analyses were undertaken to examine knowledge and MHM-related practices with a significance level of p<0.01. Results: Overall, most women (59.4%) had low knowledge about menstruation. More than one-quarter (27.0%) used disposable sanitary napkins. The Bihari women who did not use sanitary pads (73%) reported that they used old disposable clothes (59.83%), reusable cloths (25.64%), cotton (9.40%), or toilet tissue paper (4.27%). Around two-thirds of the women (68.0%) performed special baths and 36.9% followed socio-cultural taboos during menstruation. The bivariate analyses revealed that higher menstruation knowledge was associated with higher use of disposable sanitary napkins (low knowledge: 18.9%, high knowledge: 38.5%; p<0.01). Conclusions: The findings suggest that it is imperative for Bihari women to have adequate and appropriate menstruation knowledge so that they can maintain good menstrual hygiene practices. The findings highlight challenges experienced by the refugee women in maintaining MHM and can be used to improve women’s reproductive health and well-being and reduce the risk of reproductive tract infections (RTI) among socially disadvantaged women.

“…The main goal of gestational diabetes management in research according to Rahmasari (2019) is to prevent complications and normalize insulin activity in the body. Management consists of four pillars, including education, diet, physical exercise and pharmacological treatment (Mufdlilah & Rachmawati, 2018;Rahmasari & Wahyuni, 2019;Vaira et al, 2020).…”

Background: Globally, one of the increasing health problems that occur during pregnancy is gestational diabetes. The experience of women diagnosed with diabetes in pregnancy has the possibility of experiencing risks such as pre-eclampsia and polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). Babies of mothers who experience this are also at risk for complications such as macrosomia (birth weight > 4000g). Meanwhile, the experience of women during antenatal visits who have a diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy, often feel anxious about themselves and the fetus and the risks that will occur in the future. Purpose: To review the evidence related to the experience of antenatal care in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Methods: The method used is the scoping review. created a framework, selecting article studies with Prism Flow Charts, mapping charting data and Critical Appraisal. Results: Based on 9 articles with quantitative and qualitative research types, it was found that there were 8 articles with grade A and 1 article with grade B. The tool used in the scoping review was the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Based on the articles collected, 4 themes were selected consisting of Antenatal Care (ANC), Knowledge of Pregnant Women, Gestational Impact of Diabetes, and Health Service Efforts. Conclusion: Antenatal care experiences for mothers with gestational diabetes carry a significant risk of maternal and fetal complications and a significant risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes can contribute to potential emotional imbalances during pregnancy that can trigger depressive symptoms.
