Experiences of women with preeclampsia
Get PDFPreeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria that arises after a gestational age of 20 weeks. Pre-eclampsia is one of the obstetric diseases with the most severe complication rates. Research on increasing knowledge, causes, prevention, treatment of pre-eclampsia, and strong evidence of the traumatic impact on short-term and long-term psychological health has been widely undertaken. However, there has been relatively little study on mothers' experiences with preeclampsia. This Scoping Review aims to find out the experiences of mothers with pre-eclampsia. The method used is Scoping Review using Willey Online Library, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The search results that match the criteria are then analyzed to generate these articles. The appraisal study uses Joana Briggs Institute (JBI), and the synthesis method uses PEOS modification. Of the 152 articles relevant to titles and abstracts, seven articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review discovered four themes that affect mother experience with preeclampsia: maternal reaction, obstacles, impact, and coping. This study contributes to the understanding that the condition of women with preeclampsia during pregnancy and childbirth still requires medical professionals' attention, particularly regarding awareness of perceived symptoms and information regarding pregnancy with preeclampsia
The implementation of referral system in postpartum hemorrhage cases by midwife
Get PDFPostpartum hemorrhage (PPP) is the most significant contributor to maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for 50-75% of all emergency cases that occur during childbirth. Research on the causes, knowledge, prevention, and factors that influence the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage has been carried out previously. However, research on the referral system in postpartum hemorrhage cases done by midwives has not primarily been explored. PRISMA results showed that there were 95 articles obtained from three databases. Article selection was carried out based on predetermined criteria for inclusion and exclusion. This research has acquired five related articles. The seven articles obtained were analyzed for their critical appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). This study aims to identify the in-depth literature obtained through various sources with various research methods related to the topic, which is the implementation of the referral system in primary postpartum hemorrhage done by midwives of health centers. Therefore, identifying gaps from the existing articles or synthesizing evidence through different studies can be done. Then sources of evidence that provide reference information and research on postpartum bleeding can be found.
