“…The results of this study showed that the use of the partograf-based computer system allows midwives to perform the process, partograf-based computer system will minimize the error rate and has a good level of truth, This is in line with research conducted by [5,6], who get that the use of electronic partograf more effectively and efficiently with limited human resources so that the impact on the completeness of on charging partograf, and reduce the error rate and the use of hardware and software as a tool to monitor progress of labor can be used as a tool to train health workers on how to use partograf.…”

Partograf is a tool that can help health workers to perform recording and reporting in the process of childbirth, recording reporting the use of partograf is still low that is below 70%. This study aims to determine partograf-based comparison of computer systems and conventional partograf. The method used in this research is using quasy experiment with comparative descriptive design, sampling technique that is purposive sample, the number of subjects examined as many as 40 mothers inpartu divided into group one (1) is recording reporting using partograf based on computer system and group two (2) is recording reporting using conventional partograf. The data analysis used univariate analysis by looking at median value and bivariate analysis by using Mann-Whitney Test. The results obtained partografbased computer system namely; partographic filling 20 (100%), partographic correctness 20 (100%), partographic length 2 (10%), time velocity 8.6 hours, with median aspect value of convenience 24, while conventional partograf ie; completeness 16 (80%), truth 16 (80%), filling duration 3 (15%), 11.6 hours time velocity, with median aspect of ease 23. Statistical test result got p value of 0.004, 0001, 0.000, dan 0.005 (<α = 0.05) means that there are differences in partograf based on computer system and conventional partograf. Thus it can be concluded that computer-based partograph can be used as a monitoring tool for recording the reporting of progress of labor, and better than conventional partograf. Recording of partographic reporting based on computer systems needs to be applied in documenting midwifery care, and being developed to be web-based so as to link to referral sites.

BackgroundProper monitoring of labor and childbirth prevents many pregnancy-related complications. However, monitoring is still poor in many places partly due to the usability concerns of support tools such as the partograph. In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) called for the development and evaluation of context-adaptable electronic health solutions to health challenges. Computerized tools have penetrated many areas of health care, but their influence in supporting health staff with childbirth seems limited.ObjectiveThe objective of this scoping review was to determine the scope and trends of research on computerized labor monitoring tools that could be used by health care providers in childbirth management.MethodsWe used key terms to search the Web for eligible peer-reviewed and gray literature. Eligibility criteria were a computerized labor monitoring tool for maternity service providers and dated 2006 to mid-2016. Retrieved papers were screened to eliminate ineligible papers, and consensus was reached on the papers included in the final analysis.ResultsWe started with about 380,000 papers, of which 14 papers qualified for the final analysis. Most tools were at the design and implementation stages of development. Three papers addressed post-implementation evaluations of two tools. No documentation on clinical outcome studies was retrieved. The parameters targeted with the tools varied, but they included fetal heart (10 of 11 tools), labor progress (8 of 11), and maternal status (7 of 11). Most tools were designed for use in personal computers in low-resource settings and could be customized for different user needs.ConclusionsResearch on computerized labor monitoring tools is inadequate. Compared with other labor parameters, there was preponderance to fetal heart monitoring and hardly any summative evaluation of the available tools. More research, including clinical outcomes evaluation of computerized childbirth monitoring tools, is needed.

This digital scale can help people to avoid postpartum hemorrhage, to improve the diagnosis and the management strategies.…”

INTRODUCTION: A simple graph partograph serves to record the information of the inpartu mothers during their 1st active phase of labor, to detect complications, to make an appropriate action in decision making, to prevent prolonged labor, postpartum hemorrhage, and sepsis. The aimof this research was to compare the use of digital scales of web-based partograph and the conventional partograph in detecting the early estimation of postpartum bleeding at the stage III and IV. MATERIALS & METHODS: The study used the Quasi-Experiment method.Thirty women in labor were chosen by using the purposive sampling technique. The web digital scale and the conventional digital scale were used to weigh the underpad of the postpartum at the stage III and IV. The Independent T-test and Mann-Whitney test were employed to analyze the data. RESULTS: The results of the study indicated that the digital scale of the WEB-based partograph was more rapid in estimating the postpartum hemorrhage at the stage III and IV comparing to the digital scale of conventional partograph. The statistical test of Mann-Whitney revealed the p-value > 0.05, which means that there was a difference in the speed but in case of the accuracy aspect of p-value > 0.05, it means that there was no difference. In case of the estimation of the blood amount at stage III and IV, the test value of the Independent T-test revealed the p-value of > 0.05, which means that there was no difference in the estimation of the postpartum hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the digital scale of web-based partograph was faster in estimating postpartum hemorrhage at period III and IV comparing to the digital scales of conventional partograph and there were no differences in its accurateness and number of postpartum hemorrhage at the stage III and IV.
