Factors Related to Hypertension in Pregnancy

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy is a measurement of systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and diastolic ≥ 90 mmHg during pregnancy. According to the Indonesian Health Profile (2015), the five biggest causes of maternal death are bleeding (28%), hypertension in pregnancy (25%), infections (11%), prolong labor (5%), and abortion (5%).
 Objective: This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy in Harapan Jayakarta Hospital.
 Methodology: This research is an analytical method with a cross sectional study. The sample in this study was 190 pregnant women. The sampling technique is simple random sampling. The instrument is medical record data. Data were analyzed using chi square statistical test.
 Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p = 0.001), employment status (p = 0.003), parity (p = 0.009), pregnancy interval (p = 0.003), history of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.038), obesity (p = 0.017), history of hormonal contraception (p = 0.044) with incidence hypertension in pregnancy.
 Conclusions and Recommendations: There was a significant relationship between age, occupational status, gravida status, pregnancy interval, history of diabetes mellitus, obesity and history of hormonal contraception with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy. It is expected that health workers provide health education to anticipate complications in pregnancy and women are expected to carry out the health education provided.
 Keywords: hypertension in pregnancy; age; occupational status; gravida; pregnancy interval; history of diabetes mellitus; obesity; history of hormonal contraception.

The Effect of Giving Ambon Banana (Musa Paradisiaca Var Sapientum Linn) on Blood Pressure among Pregnant Mothers with Hypertension

“…and pre-existing hypertension and obesity (Rahmawati et al, 2022). Hypertension in pregnancy is classified into 4 types: chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia, and chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia (superimposed preeclampsia) (Novelia et al, 2023). According to Sutriyanto (2019), pregnancy hypertension accounts for 5-15% of pregnancy complications nationally and is one of the three highest causes of maternal morbidity and mortality.…”

The Effect of Affirmation Relaxation Techniques on Anxiety Levels in Third-Trimester Pregnant Women

“…During antenatal visits, pregnant women may complain of feeling uncomfortable. Pregnancy will cause hormonal changes in women due to an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and the hormone chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (Novelia et al, 2023). Pregnancy can be a very complex social and psychological transition process in which not only biological changes occur, but there are also changes in the social, cultural, psychological, and emotional aspects of a woman.…”

Factors Related to the Incident of Premature Rupture of Membrane among Maternity Women

“…Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is the rupture of the amniotic membranes before the onset of labor, characterized by the discharge of thin fluid from the vagina without pain. Several factors cause premature rupture of membranes, including incompetent cervix, excessive uterine tension: multiple pregnancies, hydramnios, abnormal fetal position in the uterus: breech position, transverse position, possible narrow pelvis: hanging abdomen, the lowest part has not entered the upper pelvis, cephalopelvic disproportion, congenital abnormalities of the amniotic membranes, infections that cause biomechanical processes in the amniotic membranes to occur in proteolytic form, so that the amniotic membranes are more easily ruptured (Novelia et al, 2023).…”
