“…Recent research shows that women receive very limited counseling from professional staff regarding sexual relations, especially from pregnancy to postpartum (Janssen et al, 2023). Counseling carried out in health facilities mostly only focuses on danger signs for both mother and baby (Chayachinda et al, 2015).…”

“…There is very little counseling regarding efforts to reduce sexual dysfunction or increase sexual satisfaction during the postpartum period (Chayachinda et al, 2015;Ng et al, 2023). This could be due to a lack of provider knowledge or clinical guidelines (Janssen et al, 2023). Identifying and overcoming these sexual problems has a big impact not only on women's health but also on the survival and development of their children so that they are raised by mothers who are physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally healthy (Hababa & Assarag, 2023).…”

Introduction: Only 7–13% of women say they need help or advice to overcome problems regarding sexual satisfaction; 40% of women do not even seek help from a doctor for their sexual complaints. Meanwhile, 54% reported that they only wanted to find a solution to the problem of sexual satisfaction without actually doing it. Purpose: to determine the effect of counseling on postpartum women's sexual satisfaction in the Puskesmas Kamonji working area. Method: The research was conducted in July–August 2023 with a one-group pretest-posttest design and a sample size of 49 women who had babies aged 2–6 months. Using the Wilcoxon consecutive sampling analysis technique. The results before being given counseling showed that 42.9% of respondents were sexually satisfied, but after being given counseling about sexual satisfaction, 57.3% of respondents felt sexually satisfied (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in sexual satisfaction before and after providing counseling about sexual satisfaction to respondents. It is recommended that health facilities provide counseling about providing for sexual needs periodically, from pregnancy to the postpartum period, and involve the roles of husband and family.

Background/Aims In Indonesia, cultural beliefs affect holistic healthcare practices. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of cultural beliefs on maternity care and fetal wellbeing. Methods This study used an ethnographic-qualitative design and was conducted in a community setting in West Java, Indonesia. A total of 16 participants of Sundanese culture were recruited based on information from local health workers and community leaders. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and observation sheets were used to collect data on cultural beliefs that impacted pregnant women. Data were analysed using an editing analysis style. Results The seven themes were: dietary practices and restrictions during pregnancy, hygiene practices, managing sleep and drowsiness, sexual intimacy and interactions, cultural beliefs and religious devotion, family participation and challenges monitoring fetal wellbeing. Conclusions To ensure quality pregnancy and fetal care, and facilitate provision of basic needs and parental empowerment, healthcare workers must consider women's cultural beliefs.
