ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of harmful traditional practices during pregnancy and associated factors in Southwest Ethiopia.DesignA community-based cross-sectional study.SettingSouthwest Ethiopia.Participants667 women who were pregnant at the time of the study or gave birth 2 years prior to the study have participated.Outcome of the studyHarmful traditional practices during pregnancy (yes/no). Harmful traditional practices during pregnancy include abdominal massage, herbal intake or food taboos done on/by pregnant women without health professionals’ instruction.ResultsThe prevalence of harmful traditional practices in the study area was 37%, 95% CI (33.4% to 40.8%). The most commonly practised activities were abdominal massage (72.9%), intake of herbs (63.9%) and food taboos (48.6%). Monthly income (AOR=3.13, 95% CI (1.83 to 5.37), p<0.001), having had no history of child death (AOR=2.74, 95% CI (1.75 to 4.29), p<0.001), women with no formal education (AOR=4.81, 95% CI (2.50 to 9.23), p<0.001), women who had antenatal care (ANC) visits during their last pregnancy (AOR=0.24, 95% CI (0.10 to 0.59), p=0.002) and being multipara (AOR=0.47, 95% CI (0.27 to 0.80), p=0.003) were significantly associated with harmful traditional practices during pregnancy.ConclusionOur study showed that more than one-third of women in Southwest Ethiopia practised harmful traditional practices while they were pregnant. The practices were more common among primiparas, women who had lower educational and financial status, women with no ANC visits, and women with no history of child death. Health education should be given to the community about the complications of harmful traditional practices during pregnancy.

“…After a full‐text review, 42 studies were excluded for several reasons, including lack of full text, being outside the scope of the study, not presenting outcome measures, having different reference categories, and a high risk of bias. After a thorough review, 13 articles for the association between inadequate dietary diversity and anemia (Abriha et al, 2014; Agbozo et al, 2020; Ayensu et al, 2020; Delil et al, 2018; Deriba et al, 2020; Gibore et al, 2021; Jugha et al, 2021; Lebso et al, 2017; Ngimbudzi et al, 2021; Samuel et al, 2020; Vanié et al, 2021; Zerfu et al, 2016, 2019) and nine articles for determining the strength of the association between inadequate dietary diversity and low birth weight (Adem et al, 2020; Ahmed et al, 2018; Alemu & Gashu, 2020; Bekela et al, 2020; Berhe et al, 2021; Girma et al, 2019; Quansah & Boateng, 2020; Saaka et al, 2017; Zerfu et al, 2016) were included in the final meta‐analysis (Figure 1).

“…Second, despite the existing evidence on the association between maternal dietary diversity and geographical and socioeconomic variations among countries, subgroup analysis at the regional (Africa) level has not been reported (Gete et al, 2020). In addition, several new observational studies with inconsistent results, not included in previous reviews, have emerged in recent years (Adem et al, 2020; Berhe et al, 2021; Girma et al, 2019). Finally, we examined an additional outcome variable, maternal anemia, which correlates with dietary diversity and low birth weight (Figueiredo et al, 2018; Rahman et al, 2016; Rahmati et al, 2017).…”

Inadequately diversified food consumption during pregnancy can lead to micronutrient deficiencies, which can affect maternal and newborn health outcomes. Previous studies on maternal dietary diversity have either been limited to a specific geographical region or consist entirely of systematic reviews, without meta‐analyses. Thus, this study aimed to determine the pooled estimate of the association between inadequate dietary diversity during pregnancy, maternal anemia, and low birth weight in Africa. A systematic review of observational studies published between January 2000 and April 2022 was undertaken using the Google Scholar, PubMed, and CINAHL databases. The PRISMA checklist was followed to present the results. Microsoft Excel was used to abstract the data. STATA version 17 was used to analyze the data, and a random‐effects meta‐analysis model was applied to compute the pooled estimates. The study was registered in PROSPERO with protocol number CRD42022320873. A total of 22 publications with 9,696 participants were included in the final meta‐analysis. The pooled adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for inadequate dietary diversity and maternal anemia was 2.15 (95% CI, 1.66–2.65), while that for low birth weight was 2.04 (95% CI, 1.46–2.63). The highest pooled estimate of maternal anemia was reported in Cameroon (AOR = 9.8, 95% CI: 1.68–17.92), followed by Ethiopia (AOR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.95–3.25). Similarly, the pooled estimates of low birth weight were highest in Cameroon (AOR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.19–4.88) and Ethiopia (AOR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.29–2.39). In Africa, pregnant mothers with inadequate dietary diversity are two times more likely to develop anemia and low birth weight. Social protection policies that prioritize pregnant women, maternal nutrition promotion in the community, and dietary counseling during antenatal care visits, using national food‐based dietary guidelines, should be strengthened.

Chronic energy deficiency (CED) tends to occur in pregnant women and carry detrimental effects, especially on the women during labour and on the fetus. Therefore, it is extremely important to increase nutritional intake during pregnancy for optimized newborn outcome. There are a variety of ways to treat CED, one of which is to provide additional food during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the effect of Deppamil Dangke to pregnant women with CED on the outcome of newborns. This research method used a quasi-experimental design conducted for 18 weeks in Enrekang Regency, with a population of 28 pregnant women > 20 weeks gestation who then used a exhaustive sampling technique where the sample was divided into two consisting of 14 intervention samples and 14 control samples. The results of the study were tested using Mann Whitney showing the value of ρ > α (0.05), which means that there was no difference in the outcome of newborns between the intervention group and the control group. Conclusion. Consuming Deppamil Dangke did not have a direct effect on the outcome of newborns, even though the difference was not significant, but the average outcome of newborns in mothers who consumed Deppamil Dangke + PMT was in the normal category.
