Pilot Feasibility Study

Our objective was to examine the feasibility of hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) as a biomarker to predict clinical pregnancy outcomes and investigate its potential associations with perceived anxiety, resilience, and depressive symptoms. A total of 43 participants were assessed using HCC, the state trait anxiety inventory (STAI), resilience scale (RS), and the depression subscale of the symptom checklist 90-R (SCL-90-R). Participants were approached at their second consultation with the reproductive endocrinologist (T1), before scheduling their IVF cycle, and then 12 weeks after (T2), at their post-transfer visit with the study coordinators, before the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test. The logistic regression model revealed that HCC at T2 predicted 46% of a positive pregnancy test [R2 = 0.46, (ß = 0.11, p < 0.05)]. Pregnant women had higher levels of resilience at T2 (M = 149.29; SD = 17.56) when compared with non-pregnant women at T2 (M = 119.96; SD = 21.71). Significant differences were found between both groups in depression at T2 (t = 3.13, p = 0.01) and resilience at T2 (t = −4.89, p = 0.01). HCC might be a promising biomarker to calculate the probability of pregnancy in women using assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Abstract Background Women of reproductive age carry a large burden of disease from soil-transmitted helminths infections. Preventive chemotherapy with anthelminthic is an effective treatment to control soil-transmitted helminths morbidity. However, as a precautionary measure, the treatment of pregnant women is recommended only after the first trimester. This has resulted in many women of reproductive age be denied treatment because of doubt on their pregnancy status. The standard assessments of the pregnancy status (i.e. urine pregnancy rapid test or blood test) are too expensive to be used in mass drug administration campaigns. Thus, use of a simple alternative approach is recommended. The present study was conducted to evaluate the performances of a questionnaire in assessing the pregnancy status of women of reproductive age during preventive chemotherapy interventions. Methodology A questionnaire (20 questions) followed by rapid pregnancy test (RPT) were administered to a group of women of reproductive age in two districts in North-western Tanzania. Results A total of 1,217 women of reproductive age participated in the study. Overall, 10.8% of the women reported to be pregnant at the specific question in the questionnaire. The rapid pregnancy test identified 15.1% (184/1217) of the women to be pregnant. In total, 86.4% (114/1,217) of the women who reported to be pregnant during the interview were confirmed to be pregnant using the RPT. The question on pregnancy demonstrated an overall sensitivity of 62% and specificity 98.3%. Conclusion The questionnaire can be used to identify pregnant women in first trimester during preventive chemotherapy campaigns. The question on last date of start of menstrual period yield the highest sensitivity and appeared to be the key one to be used in combination with other questions. However, validation of these results in other countries with different cultures are needed to fully evaluate performance of this method.

Pregnant woman has a risk of mortality; therefore, it is necessary to prevent the maternal mortality by pregnancy test. PKH (Program Keluarga Harapan) is a program that supporta pregnancy test. This study aims to determine the different of antenatal care visits between pregnant women PKH participants and non PKH participants in Kalisat, Jember. This study was analytic with cross sectional approach. The data was analyzed by using chi-square test. The sample of this study were 36 pregnant women in each group randomized in 2016.The results showed that there was a significant difference between occupation status and accessibility to the antenatal care visit (completeness) between pregnant women PKH participants and non PKH participants where pregnant woman PKH participant who unemployed and have easy access are visit antenatal completely compared to pregnant woman non PKH participants. There is a difference between occupation status, husband support and accessibility to antenatal visit (accuracy) between pregnant women PKH participants and non PKH participants where pregnant woman PKH participants who unemployed have more visit antenatal care completely, and pregnant woman non-PKH participants with high husband support and easy accsess will be more appropriate visit compared with pregnant woman PKH participants. There were no differences in age, parity, education, family income, and medical history with antenatal care visit between pregnant women of PKH participants and non PKH participants.
