“…The most frequent disorder was pre-eclampsia. Various educational intervention tools were used for assessment of efficacy of education in the included studies: educational pamphlets ( 27 , 28 ), mobile-based educational application ( 11 ), a combination of pamphlets, pictographic magnet, and videos ( 24 ), prenatal health education and nutrition interventions ( 29 ), and a mixture of PowerPoint, as well as data, show projectors and conversation ( 26 ) were used for the purpose of education ( Table 2 ). All studies reported a positive impact of educational interventions on the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.…”

BackgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including chronic hypertension, preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, is the cause of about 50,000 deaths out of 400,000 perinatal deaths. HDP is an effective risk factor in stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases like ischemic heart disease. There is a significant relation between HDP, lifestyle, and knowledge. Unfortunately, many studies showed that pregnant women have lack of knowledge about HDP. Therefore, the importance of educational interventions is, today, more acknowledged than before.AimThe goal of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of interventional educations on the knowledge of pregnant women about HDP.MethodsA systematic review of the related articles was conducted. We included English randomized controlled trials published up to December 2021, including pregnant women as population, HDP as the outcome, and educational interventions as the intervention.ResultsAfter the process of study selection, six articles containing 819 pregnant women were included in this study. Educational pamphlets, mobile-based application, a mixture of pamphlets, pictographic magnet and videos, and a combination of PowerPoint and data show projectors and conversation were the educational interventions in these studies.ConclusionsThe positive effects of educational interventions on the knowledge of women with HTP were observed in all studies. The higher knowledge leads to HDP-related complications.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://archive.org/details/osf-registrations-gcs5r-v1, identifier: doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/GCS5R.

Most of the rural pregnant women practiced incomplete continuum of care in Myanmar. The support of family members is important for adherence of health care among pregnant women. This study intended to explore the perceptions, preferences and needs on continuum of maternal health care for development of health education package among family main caregivers of pregnant women in rural areas of Yangon Region. Three different focus group discussions were done with pregnant women, main care-givers and midwives respectively. Each group discussion consisted of seven to nine participants. Almost all of main caregivers and pregnant women could not mention detail about the continuum between pregnancy, delivery and after delivery. In spite of being aware of suitable place and personnel for safe delivery, pregnant women were still giving birth at home. Minimum required frequency of antenatal visits, fourty-two days puerperium period and three times postnatal additional checks were not well known. Avoidance of food during pregnancy and puerperium; and application of unclean powder into umbilical stump were still present due to the influence of traditional practices. Main caregivers were aware of some danger signs in pregnancy and services given by midwives for pregnant women. Family caregivers were important for pregnant women in receiving health services, decision making and daily household chores. Midwives explored the importance of health education to caregivers of pregnant women to support for continuous and adequate maternal health care. The findings of this formative study were evident to develop the health education package for the main caregivers of pregnant women and hoped to be incorporated in improving maternal heath by approaching continuum of care.Index Term: Intervention Package, Main Caregivers, Pregnant Women, Continuum of Care (CoC), Myanmar I.INTRODUCTIONFrom the start of pregnancy to the end after delivery, antenatal care (ANC) is a key for wellbeing of mothers [1,2]. The postnatal care (PNC) also plays as a crucial role during the postnatal period for promoting health of the woman by identifying, monitoring and managing health conditions [3]. Health professional with midwifery skills can appropriately manage pregnancy related complications by early recognition of danger signs and an effective timely referral to a well-equipped facility [4]. Therefore, the dimensions of continuum of care (CoC) by World Health Organization (WHO) for maternal health emphasize on different stages of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum; and address continuous care from home to health center and hospital [5].

“…More representative samples and studies using different methods to assess attitudes would be desirable, including the effects of different phrasing and the ways that trade-offs are presented. The relevance and role of anxiety in screening and treatment decisions is unclear [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Background Advances in research suggest the possibility of improving routine clinical care for preeclampsia using screening (predictive) and diagnostic tests. The views of women should be incorporated into the way in which such tests are used. Therefore, we explored the views of women with experience of preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) about predictive and diagnostic tests, treatment risks, and expectant management. Method Eight hundred and seven women with experience of preeclampsia or other HDPs completed an online questionnaire. These women were participants in the Preeclampsia Registry (USA). The questionnaire contained 22 items to elicit women’s views about predictive tests (n = 8); diagnostic tests (n = 5); treatment risks (n = 7), and expectant management (n = 2). An optional text box allowed participants to add qualitative open-ended comments. Levels of agreement with the statements were reported descriptively for the sample as a whole, and a preliminary investigation of the role of lived experience in shaping women’s views was conducted by comparing subgroups within the sample based on time of HDP delivery (preterm/term). The qualitative data provided in the optional text box was analysed using inductive thematic analysis to examine participants’ responses. Results Women generally favored predictive and diagnostic testing, although not because they would opt for termination of pregnancy. Participants generally disagreed that taking daily low-dose aspirin (LDA) would make them nervous, with disagreement significantly higher in the preterm delivery subgroup. A high proportion of participants, especially in the preterm delivery subgroup, would take LDA throughout pregnancy. The majority of participants would be more worried about the possibility of preeclampsia than about the risks of treatments to their health (60%), and that proportion was significantly higher in the preterm delivery subgroup. There were no differences between subgroups in the views expressed about expectant management, although opinion was divided in both groups. Overall, most participants opted to put the baby’s interests first. Conclusion Women with experience of hypertensive disorders were enthusiastic about improved predictive and diagnostic tests. However, varied views about treatment options and expectant management suggest the need for a shared decision-making tool to enable healthcare professionals to support pregnant women’s decision-making to maximize the utility of these tests and interventions.
