It is important to distinguish the type of cholestasis for determine management. Patient with intrahepatic cholestasis have birth weight lower than extrahepatic cholestasis. Onset of acholic stool in extrahepatic cholestasis usually appear in 15-30 days of first life. The aim of the study to identify differences of birth weight and onset of acholic stool between the type of cholestasis. Method: A retrospective study on cholestasis children aged under 2 years was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016. A thorough history of birth weight and onset of acholic stool were undertaken. Based on histopatology liver biopsy patients were classified into twogroups: I (extrahepatic cholestasis) and II (intrahepatic cholestasis).

2024-04-19T08:13:07+00:00

Background: Preeclampsia-related maternal mortality is a persistent issue globally, including in Indonesia. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) recommends universal preeclampsia screening in obstetric services. In Indonesia's NTT Province, pregnant women are screened based on guidelines in the MCH book. Sikka Regency mandates midwives to use the KSPR and MCH manuals for risk factor screening In 2022, 154 out of 9,685 screened pregnant women exhibited signs of preeclampsia risk factors. Despite the reduction in maternal deaths in Sikka Regency, the number of deaths directly linked to preeclampsia increased from one in 2021 to four in 2022. Notably, at Watubaing Public Health Center, two cases of maternal death were specifically attributed to preeclampsia. This underscores a significant gap in midwives' perceptions and clinical practices, elevating maternal mortality risk. This study explores midwives' perceptions of preeclampsia screening. Method: Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach at Watubaing Public Health Center involved three informants selected through purposive sampling, meeting the inclusion criteria. Data collection, conducted from April to July 2023, comprised in-depth semi-structured interviews that were subsequently analyzed thematically. Results: Midwives' expressed divergent opinions on preeclampsia screening, yet a consensus prevailed on its crucial importance. Conclusion: Midwives' perceptions of preeclampsia screening in ANC services are significantly shaped by internal and external factors, including knowledge and experience.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding rates in Indonesia have decreased significantly in recent years. In 2021, less than half of babies in Indonesia (48.6 percent) were breastfed in the first hour of life, down from 58.2 percent in 2018. Only 52.5 percent were exclusively breastfed in the first six months, which is a decrease sharply from 64.5 percent in 2018. The success of breastfeeding is determined by several inhibiting and supporting factors, one of which is anxiety due to an episiotomy. Episiotomy is often performed to prevent more severe perineal tearing during labor, but there is controversy regarding the benefits and risks of episiotomy, as well as its impact on breastfeeding practices. Objective: To describe the perceptions and experiences of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding barriers and support in providing breast milk at 7 days postpartum at Airlangga University Hospital, Surabaya City. Method: This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach/Interpretive Phenomelogical Analysis (IPA). The method for taking subjects used purposive sampling. This research involved a total of 8 informants. The analysis method used is content analysis. Results: It was found that the perception of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding breastfeeding and their intention to breastfeed was still low. The experience of providing breast milk varies greatly and mothers tend to be physically and emotionally uncomfortable. Social support is very important for mothers' behavior in providing breast milk. There are physical and psychological barriers associated with episiotomy including pain, physical discomfort, anxiety about health and recovery so that breastfeeding behavior becomes disrupted.
