“…Social, instrumental, and emotional support are important resources to buffer the effects of stressors (Bertera, 2005 ; Fakhraei & Lennox Terrion, 2017 ; Thoits, 2011 ; Turner & Turner, 2013 ). The pandemic, however, made it more difficult to obtain these forms of support.…”

In this paper, we integrate the stress process model with symbolic interactionism to frame our analysis of interviews with 35 women who were pregnant and/or gave birth during the first year of the Covid‐19 pandemic. We detail three stressors, highlight their variation, and discuss how they coped with these stressors. Women reported having to navigate contradictory information about the public health crisis, but Black participants simultaneously endured added strain from a heightened awareness of racialized violence. To cope with an overabundance of precarious and contradictory messages, some women sought out information (i.e., information gatherers), others eschewed information (i.e., information avoiders), and most established protective “bubbles.” Next, women experienced disruptions in pregnancy rituals but coped by reframing their expectations. This stressor, however, was less acute for women with a prior birth. Third, women shared feelings of social isolation and reduced social support, which were intensified if pregnancy complications occurred. Women coped by relying on telecommunication and at‐home monitoring devices. Our study shows how pregnant women experienced and coped through adversity to mitigate stressors amid pandemonium.

“…8 In this study, primipara postnatal women were 1.85 times more likely to be knowledgeable than multipara. The possible reason may be that primipara needs intensive education and emotional support to alleviate the difficulties associated with their first childbirth 14 that contribute to their high level of knowledge. 15 This result is incomparable with a study in India knowledge score was not significantly associated with parity of postnatal women.…”

Objectives: Puerperal sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can lead to death and long-term morbidities of postnatal women, such as chronic pelvic pain, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of postnatal women at Debre Markos town health facilities toward the prevention of puerperal sepsis and its associated factors. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 July 2020. In all, 404 sampled postnatal women took part in the study. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select each study participant. Data were entered into Epi data 4.6 and analyzed by statistical package for social sciences 25. Multivariate logistic regression was carried out for variables with a p value less than 0.25 in bivariate logistic regression to determine significant associations between the outcome and independent variables. The statistical significance was determined using a 95% confidence interval with a p value of less than 0.05. Results: The study reported that 44.6% and 40.8% of postnatal women had adequate knowledge, and good practice toward the prevention of puerperal sepsis, respectively. Factors associated with knowledge were urban residence [adjusted odds ratio = 5.84, 95% confidence interval = (3.54–9.46)], primiparity [adjusted odds ratio = 1.85, 95% confidence interval = (1.19–2.89)], and attending formal education [adjusted odds ratio = 2.41, 95% confidence interval = (1.11–5.22)] of study participants. Attending formal education [adjusted odds ratio = 2.46, 95% confidence interval = (1.13–5.37)] and having adequate knowledge [adjusted odds ratio = 2.34, 95% confidence interval = (1.49–3.67)] were factors associated with the prevention practice of postnatal women toward puerperal sepsis. Conclusion: Less than half of postnatal women had adequate knowledge and good practice to prevent puerperal sepsis. As a result, obstetric caregivers and other concerned bodies should consider strategies to increase the awareness level of women about puerperal sepsis. Interventions to improve the community’s educational level should also be considered.

“…La educación prenatal y la continuidad del cuidado también tendrían importancia para alcanzar el concepto de parto respetado. Una buena educación prenatal permitirá a la mujer saber a qué se enfrentará en el momento del parto, lo cual es especialmente relevante en las primíparas 57 . En este momento es adecuado educar en tiempos del parto, opciones disponibles de analgesia, posibilidades de participación del padre o de un acompañante significativo, políticas locales de episiotomía y amniotomía, entre otras; así se contribuye a disminuir la ansiedad del parto, logrando un efecto positivo que permitirá alcanzar un parto respetado.…”

Introducción: El cambio de modelo en la atención en salud ha traído varias transformaciones, entre ellas el empoderamiento de las mujeres por recuperar sus derechos y control sobre el parto, concepto conocido como «parto respetado». En Chile, a diferencia de otros países, no se ha incorporado dentro de la legislación. La Organización Mundial de la Salud ha elaborado guías con recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para lograr un parto respetado. Objetivo: Generar una recomendación y propuesta de parto respetado para el sistema de salud chileno. Método: Búsqueda bibliográfica dirigida de los principales puntos descritos en la literatura y la evidencia que los respalda. Resultados: Se recomienda definir fase activa del parto sobre 5 cm de dilatación, preferir auscultación intermitente, manejar el dolor según las preferencias de la mujer, favorecer el movimiento, el apego inmediato y el retraso en el pinzamiento del cordón, y restringir episiotomías, amniotomías, cesáreas y tactos vaginales. Conclusiones: Las recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia contribuirán a conseguir un parto respetado, dado que muchas de las intervenciones consideradas violencia obstétrica, o que no colaboran con un parto respetado, no están basadas en la evidencia, y por tanto representan intervenciones innecesarias para el proceso del parto.
