Low Birth Weight Babies

Infant Mortality Rate in West Sumatra still increased from 96 cases in 2015 becomes 111 cases in 2016. One of the contributors to this was the case of Low Birth Weight Babies (LBWB), wich is birth weight < 2500 grams. Causative factors of LBWB are derived from maternal factors because it is related to fetal growth, starting from the moment of conception until the baby is born. Maternal health is very influential towards the growth and development of the fetus. In addition, Antenatal Care is also require to monitor maternal health. Antenatal service care quality can detect the occurrence of risk in pregnancy. This study aims to determine the relationship of maternal factors based on maternal age, parity, distance of pregnancy, complications of pregnancy, economic status, nutritional status, anemia status, antenatal care implementation and the quality of antenatal care services with LBWB incidence on health facilities level 1 in Padang City.This study used a comparative cross-sectional design totalling 72 respondents consisting of a group of mothers who gave birth to babies with birth weight < 2500 grams and ≥ 2500 grams using consecutive sampling technique. Then conducted interviews and observations by using questionnaires as well as data processing were carried out using SPSS. The results showed there was a correlation between pregnancy complications (p = 0.033), anemia status (p = 0.016) and the implementation of antenatal care (p = 0.000) with the incidence of LBWB, while the unrelated were maternal age (p = 0.405), parity (p = 1,000), pregnancy distance (p = 1,000), economic status (p = 0.637), nutritional status (p = 0.326), and quality of antenatal care services (p = 0.812).The conclusion of this study is that there is no correlation between the quality of antenatal care services and the incidence of LBWB, and the implementation of antenatal care is the dominant factor related with the incidence of LBWB in Padang City.

Background: Quality of care is a priority concern all over the world and all the countries are trying to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their health care delivery systems. Recognizing the potential to improve the reproductive health status in developing countries, quality of care in reproductive health field has been the priority area of research by WHO.Methods: This study assesses the quality of antenatal care services delivered at subcentre level by comparing with the recommended Structural attributes, Process attributes and Initial outcome attributes. By simple random sampling, ten subcentres under three Block Primary Health Centres in Coimbatore district were included in the study.Results: On observing the quality of client-provider interaction, most of the women were treated with dignity (98.5%), but there were deficiencies in examination for pallor (19.2%), pedal edema (18.5%) and pulse (10.6%) which is very critical for good antenatal care. The exit interview revealed that most clients (98.6%) were satisfied with the antenatal care.Conclusions: The findings of this quality assessment study provide information about training needs for improving the quality of service and serves as a baseline data on status before implementing NRHM.
