role of midwives in the application of classroom services for pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic period

Abstract

Based on 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) data, as many as 250,715,502 positive Covid-19 confirmed cases, the death rate of Covid-19 sufferers is 5,062,106 (COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Task Force, 2020). The increase in the number of people suffering from Covid-19 proves that Covid-19 spreads easily and quickly (World Health Organization, 2021). The Covid-19 virus attacks all ages, including vulnerable groups, one of which is pregnant women. During the Covid-19 pandemic, health services must continue to run optimally and be safe for patients and midwives with various adjustments based on Covid-19 handling guidelines or health protocols. Implementing antenatal classes during pregnancy and the role of the midwife or health worker is essential in identifying pregnant women class participants who will attend antenatal classes during pregnancy, including in the preparation phase. The objective is to systematically map research conducted in this field and identify the role of midwives in implementing class services for pregnant women during the pandemic. The method used is Prisma Flowchart (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses) to describe the literature search flow. The article search uses four databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, Wiley, and Science Direct).

That is because during pregnancy the FSH and LH levels suppressed by the high concentration of estrogen and progesterone and become undetectable during pregnancy [27].…”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of midwives

“…The current study found that almost half of the participants experienced moderate worries, and less than half had high worries. This result is consistent with the study by Khouri & Cohen (2020), conducted in Israel to examine the relationship between the tendency to worry related to COVID-19 and anxiety, depression, and stress among health and social services (Dwijayanti et al, 2022). The study reported that most of the participants had a moderate tendency to worry, and 10% had a high tendency to worry; the result revealed that the participants who had psychological distress experienced a greater risk of worry, mediated by job burnout.…”
