“…Despite significant socioeconomic differences, some information needs are similar across countries and coincide with those mentioned in this paper, such as the interest in pregnancy care, to deal adequately with childbirth, and the care of the newborn. However, there are also notable differences; for example, the results obtained by Chicalipo et al [15] with African populations the priorities are more oriented towards the prevention of illness. Compared with Chicalipo’s study, the priorities in western countries are aimed at improving the quality of life and self care.…”

“…However, attempting to address these matters with limited time and space makes it difficult to deal with particularly relevant topics in depth. In addition, the importance of each need varies over time and may differ between cultures [13–15]. Perhaps as a result, women often feel that their information needs during pregnancy are not fully covered by what they receive from the healthcare system [13, 16–20].…”

“…Perhaps as a result, women often feel that their information needs during pregnancy are not fully covered by what they receive from the healthcare system [13, 16–20]. To increase the effectiveness of any intervention, the first step is the identification of the priority areas to which more resources should be devoted [15, 21, 22] and then the design of specific action strategies and evaluation of the results [23–27]. Therefore, in the first thing, it is necessary to answer the question: to which topics, in maternal education, do we need to dedicate most of the resources?.…”

Background Maternal education is wide-ranging and covers many areas from pregnancy to the immediate postpartum period and childrearing. However, for it to be effective, more resources need to be assigned to key topics. The goal of this study was to identify and prioritize the most important issues in maternal education, so that specific objectives could subsequently be set and learning outcomes evaluated. Methods We drew up a comprehensive list of topics addressed in existing maternal education programs, based on a systematic review of information obtained from the Internet and the experience of the research team. The topics were presented to a multidisciplinary panel whose members were asked to rate them from 1 to 9, and consensus of opinion was reached using a two-round Delphi survey, with consensus defined beforehand as 80% agreement among panelists in awarding a score of 7, 8 or 9. The most highly-rated topics were then discussed and again prioritized by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare and non-healthcare experts, using a nominal group technique. Results Initially, 650 topics were identified and grouped into 80 categories which were then prioritized by 54 healthcare and non-healthcare experts using a Delphi survey with a study participation rate of around 20%. 63 topics were considered very important, so criteria were restricted and only the 24 highest-scoring selected (95% of agreement on scores ≥7 or 80% of agreement on scores ≥8). Using the nominal group technique, a group of 12 experts identified the following priorities: initiation and establishment of breastfeeding, development of a birth plan, identification of problems and self-care postpartum, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, options for pain management in labor and birth and characteristics of a normal newborn/looking after a newborn baby. Conclusion This study, with a Delphi study and the Consensus among Experts: the nominal group technique, has succeeded in identifying priority topics in maternal education. We need to assess women’s needs in relation to these topics, design an intervention to respond to these needs and evaluate its effectiveness.

Berdasarkan Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2017, Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) tahun 2017 sebanyak 305/100.00 KH. Penyebab tertinggi AKI di negara berkembang: perdarahan, infeksi, komplikasi persalinan, aborsi, pre-eklamsi dan eklamsi. Selain itu AKI juga berhubungan dengan adanya pengaruh sosial budaya, contohnya masyarakat beranggapan bahwa hamil, bersalin, nifas dan merawat anak adalah urusan perempuan yang menyebabkan rendahnya partisipasi suami sebesar 45%. Perempuan juga tidak berwenang mengembali keputusan meskipun dalam kodisi gawatdarurat. Hal ini menyebabkan terlambtanya penanganan kesehatan pada ibu yang dapat berakibat pada mneingkatnya angka kesakitan dan kematian pada ibu. Tujuan dari scoping review ini adalah untuk memetakan evidence yang sudah tersedia terkait dengan partisipasi suami pada masa hamil, bersalin dan pasca salin di negara berkembang. Scoping review ini mengikuti framework dari Arksey and O’Malley, yang terdiri dari mendidentikasi pertanyaan review; mencari evidence yang relevan; menyeleksi studi yang relevan; memetakan data; dan mediskusikan, menyimpulkan dan melaporkan hasil. PRISMA flowchart digunakan untuk menampilkan alur pencarian evidence. Hasil dari review menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 12 artikel yang didapatkan dari proses pencarian. Review ini memunculkan 5 tema yaitu keterlibatan suami pada masa perinatal; faktor yang mempengaruhi keterlibatan suami pada masa perinatal; penyebab kurangnya partisipasi suami; sistem kesehatan; dan strategi yang dapat meningkatkan keterlibatan suami pada masa perinatal. Partisipasi suami pada masa perinatal masih tidak dilakukan secara optimal pada negara berkembang, sebagai akibat dari pembagian peran suami dan istri akibat bias gender, untuk itu diperlukan upaya inovatif untuk mengikutsertakan suami pada masa perinatal.Indonesian Demographic Healts Survey in 2017 reported that there was 305/ 1,000 maternal mortality in Indonesia. Post partum haemorarghea, infection, maternal complications, abortion, preeclampsia and eclampsia cause maternal mortality. Additionally, maternal morality is also associated with local social culture, for instance society views that pregnancy, childbirth and after childbirth are women’s matters, which subsequently causes lack of partner’ s involvement in that periods. Women are alo placed with have no autonomy to decide even in regards to their health and life or even in their emergencey condition. This situation led to delayed intervention and care, and it also possibly increase risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. This scoping review aimed to mapping evidences about partner involvement within perinatal period in developing countries. Arksey and O’Malley framework was applied involving identify review question; identify relevant evidences; study selection; charting data; and collating, summarizing and reporting the data. PRISMA flowcahart was used to show the process of searching evidence. Result of the review showed that there were 12 evidences included and processed within review. There five themes emerged i.e. partner’s involvement within perinatal period; factors associated with partner’s involvement within perinatal period; factors lead to lack of partner involvement within perinatal period; health system; strategies to increase partner involvement. Partner involvement is still low within developing countries as a result of role differences amongst men and women, this occurs due to gender bias, therefore tehre is a need to develop innovative strategy to involve partner within perinatal period.

“…This is because the three delays occurred on delay in decision to take care, delay to reach the health care center, and delay to receive adequate treatment [6]. Subsequently, these problems increase obstetric complications such as unfavorable pregnancy outcome, maternal morbidity and mortality, premature birth, low birth weight, neonatal death and infant abuse [5][6][7][8] Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) is one of the strategies to improve the use of skilled providers at birth and the key intervention to decrease maternal mortality [9]. It is the process of planning for normal birth and anticipating actions needed in case of emergency.…”
