“…While there is currently no research exploring women's motivations for requesting a CS in Indonesia, studies from other countries have described that women's preferences for CS are due to fear of labour pain, previous painful childbirth, previous CS, perceived pregnancy risk, CS deemed as 'safer, quick, painless and easy' than vaginal birth, prioritising women and baby's health and women's 'right to choose' CS.

Trends and sociodemographic inequalities in the use of caesarean section in Indonesia, 1987-2017

IntroductionCaesarean section (CS) rates are increasing globally. CS can be a live-saving procedure when medically indicated, but it comes with higher risks for women and newborns when done without medical indication. Crucially, inequalities in who receives CS exist, both within and across countries. Understanding factors driving increasing rates and inequalities of CS is imperative to optimise the use of this life-saving intervention. This study aimed to investigate trends of CS use and inequalities across sociodemographic characteristics in Indonesia over a 30-year period.MethodsSeven waves of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey were used to estimate trends and inequalities in CS from 1987 to 2017. Relative and absolute inequalities across a range of sociodemographic characteristics were estimated and trends in inequalities were assessed through changes in rate ratio and rate difference.ResultsThe proportion of facility-based births in Indonesia has increased in the past 30 years, coinciding with an increase in CS rate (CSR) (1991 CSR: 1.6% (95% CI 1.3 to 1.9); 2017 CSR: 17.6% (95% CI 16.7 to 18.5)). Higher rates of CS are observed mostly in Western Indonesia, while lower CSRs are observed in Eastern Indonesia. Inequalities of CSRs in Indonesia are observed across type of health facility (public/private), regions, places of residence, wealth quintiles and maternal education, with the highest CSRs in more affluent and educated groups. Widening absolute inequalities of CS are observed across all sociodemographic characteristics, except facility type, where CSR gaps between public and private facilities have closed on both relative and absolute scales.ConclusionThis study provides evidence of increasing trends in CSRs and widening absolute inequalities in CSRs across different sociodemographic groups of women in Indonesia. The context of increasing CSRs across society, however, may have resulted in more stable relative inequalities. Improving understanding of the drivers of these trends in Indonesia and, particularly, of women’s and providers’ perspectives and preferences for childbirth, should be prioritised to optimise the use of CS.

“…Regarding the sources of information about practices related to childbirth, the following stand out: the media, 2 previous experience and the report of women from their social support network. 16 In the present study, the media and previous experiences were the basis for the production of expectations, according to reports. In this sense, the importance of prenatal care is reinforced as an opportune time and place for women to access content of adequate quality and good understanding, as a way to contribute to better expectations and positions that leads them to pressure for the improvement of childbirth assistance.…”

Objective: To analyze women’s desires, expectations and experiences regarding skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding in the first hour of life of their newborns. Methods: Qualitative research carried out in a teaching hospital in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The patients were followed longitudinally during prenatal care, at birth and during the puerperium. The participants were pregnant women during normal risk prenatal care, aged over 18 years old. Structured and semi-structured interviews were carried out in the prenatal period, participant observation at the time of delivery and new interviews in the puerperium. Content analysis was applied in the thematic modality. Results: 18 women between 21 and 38 years old were enrolled in the research. Women expressed the desire for skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding as immediate practices right after delivery and birth. However, many women did not believe it was possible, and the performance of routine procedures was considered the main obstacle. These expectations that skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding would not be carried out were confirmed in the experiences immediately after birth. Conclusions: The expectations and experiences brought by these women suggest a flaw that starts in prenatal care and implies difficulties in implementing the studied practices. Thus, the empowerment and participation of women can become an important tool in the humanization of birth.

“…Á vista disso, no decorrer do parto, há fatores como ansiedade, dor, medo, hospitalização, dentre outros, que podem deixar as gestantes apreensivas, ocasionando a falta de controle dos momentos vivenciados. Contudo, as orientações, explicações e assistências prestadas por parte dos profissionais, são técnicas indicadas para superação destas dificuldades [9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

A gravidez e o parto são eventos importantes na vida das mulheres. Até o século 20, o parto acontecia em casa, um momentopessoal e privado, compartilhado com outras mulheres. Objetivo: analisar na literatura a percepção das mulheres quanto à assistência na forma de parir. Método: trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura com metassíntese, com utilização do protocolo PRISMA. Foram utilizados os descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): “enfermagem”, “assistência ao parto” e “tocologia”. associados ao operador booleano AND, da seguinte forma “enfermagem” AND “assistência ao parto” AND “tocologia”, sendo encontrados 32 artigos. Resultados: Através dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão a amostra foi composta por 6 trabalhos. Conclusão: foi possível analisar que os profissionais de saúde, em especial os enfermeiros precisam dar todas as informações e atenção necessária, através de uma assistência centrada no respeito a particularidade de cada mulher, possibilitando assim, uma vivência menos traumática do parto.
