“…The findings of our study reveal that women who gave birth at home were more likely had a lower level of education, economically poor, and had a limited access to media than women who had an institutionalized birth. These findings are consistent with the previous studies from Nigeria (186,187), Bangladesh (6,64), Indonesia (32), and Ghana (52,188). These highlight the need for targeted interventions that aim to improve access and utilization of maternal health services among disadvantaged groups such as women with low education, low income, and living in rural areas.…”

“…In some parts of the world, homebirth is relatively common and accepted as a cultural norm, while in others, it may be less prevalent or even uncommon (25,31,32). It is important to note that the prevalence of homebirth can be influenced by factors such as cultural traditions, socioeconomic status, access to healthcare facilities, and availability of skilled birth attendants (11).…”

“…Out of 21 studies that meet the criteria for a systematic review (of which 20 were included in the meta-analyses), they were in 10 settings. Twelve studies were from a country where home birth was considered to be "well integrated" into the healthcare system (The Netherlands, UK, and Denmark) (15,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(30)(31)(32)(33); eight of them were in…”

Maternal and foeto-neonatal characteristics of home childbirth

Home birth has emerged as a contemporary issue, one of the most controversial and hotly disputed topics in modern maternity care. The debate over home birth involves a wide range of concerns, including safety, accessibility, maternal autonomy, and healthcare system dynamics, revealing a complex interaction of medical, social, and cultural considerations. The studies demonstrate that homebirth can indeed be a safe option for low-risk, healthy pregnant individuals when attended by qualified and licensed birth attendants. While homebirth poses fewer significant health risks for these individuals, it's crucial to acknowledge potential complications such as postpartum haemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia, which may necessitate immediate medical attention. Delayed access to emergency assistance and limited availability of medical procedures in homebirth settings underline the importance of strict risk assessment and preparedness for timely transfer to a medical facility, prioritizing the safety of both the mother and newborn. Analysis of foetal-maternal outcomes suggests that planned home births exhibit consistent safety profiles across different levels of healthcare integration and parity in well developed countries. However, the lack of significant studies from “less-integrated” settings underscores the need for additional studies to draw definitive conclusions. It's imperative to recognize that deliveries with a higher likelihood of complications should still be managed at institutional levels. Achieving safety in homebirth necessitates collaboration among policymakers, healthcare providers, and expectant mothers, along with ongoing research, evaluation, and open dialogue to continually enhance practices and overall safety standards in homebirth settings.

Background. Both miscarriage and stillbirth occur in almost 20% of clinical pregnancies, resulting in pregnancy loss. The incidence has been associated with several risk factors and events of maternal adverse health outcomes. Purpose. This study was conducted to analyze some associated factors of pregnancy loss in Indonesia. Methods. This cross-sectional study used the 2017 Indonesia DHS data involving 18,882 female participants aged 15–49 years who had ever had a gestation. Pregnancy loss was the dependent variable, whereas the independent variables included education, employment, wealth status, advanced maternal age, grand multiparity, and cigarette smokers. Finally, the author used binary logistic regression to calculate the determinants. Results. The adjusted risk of pregnancy loss was significantly higher in respondents with lower education levels (AOR=1.25; 95% CI: 1.11-1.41) and employed (AOR=1.19; 95% CI: 1.10-1.29). The lower the wealth status of women, the higher the chance of pregnancy loss. The adjusted risk of pregnancy loss was higher in women of advanced maternal age (AOR=2.03; 95% CI: 1.37-3.02), those with grand multiparity (AOR=1.91; 95% CI: 1.74-2.09), and those who cigarette smokers (AOR=1.53; 95% CI: 1.25-1.87). Conclusion. The study concluded that six variables i.e., education, employment, wealth status, advanced maternal age, grand multiparity, and cigarette smokers are strong predictors of pregnancy loss in Indonesian women. Therefore, the government should make a policy to address the determinants of the pregnancy issue.

Introduction: Adolescent pregnancy poses a significant concern in Indonesia, particularly in some regions, namely West Sumatra and Padang City. This issue has been addressed with two prominent approaches, the Continuity of Midwifery Care (CMC) model and the Mother-Child Health (MCH) Book. Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of these approaches in enhancing knowledge about adolescent Pregnancy, including several aspects, such as domestic violence, substance risks, reproductive health, pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting roles. Material and Methods: A quantitative research approach was applied by utilizing a quasi-experimental design, conducting pre- and post-tests with the validated questionnaires during the third trimester of pregnancy, postpartum days 31 and 43. Conducted in Padang City, the research involved 70 young primiparous mothers, categorized into groups using the CMC model and MCH Book. The collected data analyzed the generalized linear models repeated measures. Results: Both groups exhibited a significant knowledge enhancement, with the CMC model yielding more substantial enhancement. The focused and continuous care approach in the CMC model effectively enhanced the knowledge across various aspects, compared to the MCH Book. Conclusion: The CMC model stands out as an effective means to enhance knowledge among young pregnant mothers, addressing their distinct challenges during their transition to parenthood. We suggest that the health authorities and policymakers consider the implementation of the CMC model alongside the existing MCH book as a more effective approach to enhance the knowledge of Adolescent mothers.
