“…The findings suggest that perceptions of pre-eclampsia have little congruence with current evidence, for example, anaemia and exposure to fire or water were considered as predisposing factors for pre-eclampsia. 4 Another study in India with 108 women attending a hospital antenatal clinic investigated knowledge levels of pre-eclampsia using a structured questionnaire. It found "good" levels of knowledge in 14% of the sample, and statistically significant correlations between levels of knowledge and age, occupational status, educational status and income levels.…”

Background: Pre-eclampsia is a hypertensive disorder specific to pregnancy responsible for significant maternal morbidity and mortality in Africa. The majority of deaths related to pre-eclampsia could be avoided with timely and effective care. "Phase one delays" arise because of lack of knowledge. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge levels of women living in Makole ward, comparing respondent subgroups with different demographic characteristics. It also aimed to compare knowledge levels in respect to six subtopics of pre-eclampsia. This was to allow for planning of appropriate activities to reduce delays in seeking health care. Methods: This study surveyed 200 adult women randomly identified in the community. They were asked 36 questions on preeclampsia requiring yes / no answers. The data was analysed quantitatively. Results: Overall knowledge levels were low with an average of 41% of correct answers. Minor differences in the knowledge levels of demographic subgroups were found. Statistically significant differences were identified between sub-topics of preeclampsia; signs and symptoms were the least well known. Conclusion: Educational systems (formal and informal) are failing to provide communities with potentially life-saving information. Health centre, community and school based education programmes are recommended.

Background: Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality, particularly in Africa and Madagascar. The objective of present study was to assess patients' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about pre-eclampsia in Madagascar.Methods: This is an observational study on the knowledge, belief and attitudes of women seen at the Befelatanana Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital and conducted by questionnaires from 1 December 2017 to 30 May 2018.Results: During the study period, 102 patients agreed to answer our questionnaire. Terminology exists in the local language to describe convulsions and hypertension, but there were no terms that are specific to pregnancy. More than half of our patients knew preeclampsia. In 41% of cases, patients attributed excessive salt intake as a cause of high blood pressure during pregnancy and in 20% secondary to stress. Headache was the best-known symptom of patients. Signs of danger such as epigastric pain, genital bleeding, visual disturbances, convulsions and decreased sensation of fetal movements are not well known to patients. One-third did not know it was lethal. Regarding fetal complications, the occurrence of fetal death in utero was the best known. The majority of patients were aware that blood pressure measurements and urine dipstick testing were mandatory during pregnancy follow-up. To prevent preeclampsia, 46.07% thought that reducing salt intake would reduce the occurrence of preeclampsia.Conclusions: Few patients are aware of preeclampsia, its danger signs and its complications, especially during prenatal consultation. This requires the improvement of knowledge of all health actor. Community health workers should receive basic and ongoing training to facilitate dialogue and information for pregnant and non-pregnant women in each society.

Latar belakang: Preeklamsia merupakan komplikasi kehamilan yang meningkatkan risiko 3-8% dari semua morbiditas ibu. Berdasarkan data World Health Organisation (WHO), angka kejadian preeklamsia di seluruh dunia berkisar 0,51%-38,4%, kejadian preeklamsia 7 kali lebih tinggi di negara berkembang. Frekuensi kejadian preeklampsia di Indonesia adalah 3-10% dari seluruh kehamilan. Tujuan Penelitian: untuk memberikan bukti terkini tentang pengalaman ibu dengan riwayat preeklamsia dalam kehamilan. Metode: Metode yang digunakan adalah scooping review yang terdiri dari tahapan-tahapan, yaitu: melakukan fokusing review dengan framework PEOS (Population, Exposure, Outcome dan Study Design), melakukan literature searching menggunakan databases yang relevan. Menyeleksi studi yang relevan menggunakan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi; melakukan critical appraisal untuk menilai kualitas literature, melakukan data ekstraksi, menganalisis dan melaporkan hasil. PRISMA Flowchart (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses), digunakan untuk menggambarkan alur pencarian literature. Hasil: sebanyak 7 artikel masuk dalam kriteria inklusi dan kemudian dengan Grade A dan B di lanjutkan proses review. Analisis tematik digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi konsep-konsep kunci yang menghasilkan 4 tema yaitu: faktor penyebab preeklamsia, dampak preeklamsia, budaya masyarakat terkait preeklamsia, dan respon ibu yang mengalami preeklamsia. Simpulan: kelainan dalam kehamilan seperti preeklamsia yang sering terjadi di negara maju maupun di negara berkembang, di dalam penelitian di sebutkan bahwa mayoritas ibu dengan riwayat preeklamsia cenderung beresiko alami kelahiran prematur hingga perdarahan pasca melahirkan dan dapat menyebabkan kematian apabila terlambat penanganan pelayanan kesehatan.
