Background: Sudan is an endemic country for hepatitis B virus (HBV). Screening for HBV during pregnancy may help in instituting interventions to minimize vertical transmission. HBV in pregnant women in remote areas of Darfur were uncovered by the previous studies in Sudan, Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HBV and the possible risk factors for its acquisition among antenatal care attendants in Um Dafog area, South Darfur State, Sudan. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July, 2018 to January, 2019 in Um Dafog area. Blood samples were collected from165 (143from Sudan and 22from Central African Republic) pregnant women attending Antenatal Um Dafog Clinic. Serum was separated and tested for HBV marker using rapid HBsAg test. Information on socio-demographic and other pertinent data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Informed consent was obtained and confidentiality of personal data was assured.   Results: HBsAg was detected in 8.5% of study population. Participants from Central African Republic recorded higher prevalence (18.2%) than those from Sudan (7%). However, there was no significant association (P value > 0.05) between prevalence of HBsAg and residence, history of blood transfusion, tattooing, circumcision, surgical procedure, cupping therapy, caesarean section, ear piercing, unsafe injection, and jaundice or liver problems. Conclusion: The study concluded that the prevalence of HBV among pregnant women in Um Dafog area is of high endemicity according to WHO, hence the need for established public health interventions that leading  to reduction of HBV transmission.

Introduction: Antenatal Care (ANC) is an effort to detect the occurrence of high risk in pregnant women. However, ANC non-compliance was still found due to several factors. Aim of study: This study aims to determine factors that influence ANC visits to ANC behavior at Puskesmas Pasar Rebo East Jakarta. Method: This study used a descriptive correlation design with a cross-sectional survey. Data analysis used Spearman's rho with 117 respondents. Results and Discussion: The results showed that there are some factors that influence ANC visits to ANC behavior, including age with a correlation value (r = 0.419), a p-value of 0.000; education with a correlation value (r = 0.425), p-value of 0.000; jobs with a correlation value (r = 0.279), p-value of 0.002; income with a correlation value (r = 0.407), p-value of 0.000; knowledge with a correlation value (r = 0.409), p-value of 0.000; husband / family support with a correlation value (r = 0.417), p-value of 0.000; attitude with a correlation value (r = 0.597), p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Irregularity in carrying out ANC has a bad impact on pregnant women because they are not aware of the risk factors that may occur to the mother and her fetus and can not be detected early on the disease suffered by pregnant women. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is nurses as health workers need to increase their role as educators and health care provider to pregnant women and their families about the importance of ANC to reduce maternal mortality and monitor the state of the fetus.

Eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome in the form of decreased organ perfusion due to vasospasm and endothelial activation, characterized by increased blood pressure, proteinuria, with or without edema accompanied by seizures. Eclampsia can harm the mother and fetus. The exact cause of eclampsia is unknown, but eclampsia can be triggered by several risk factors including the age of too young or too young, nulliparous, obesity in pregnancy, chronic hypertension, diabetes and multiple pregnancies. This study aims to determine the relationship between risk factors and the incidence of eclampsia in pregnant women in Ambarawa Hospital. The research method used was descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. Research variables included age, parity, obesity, chronic hypertension, diabetes, twin pregnancies as risk factors for eclampsia and eclampsia. The study population was all pregnant women in Ambarawa General Hospital in January-June of 896 people. The research sample was taken using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique that was in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria as many as 90 people. The results showed that pregnant women aged between 20-35 years were 49 people (54.4%), the parity of pregnant women was nulliparous as many as 37 people (41.1%), pregnant women were not obese as many as 72 people (80%) and not experiencing chronic hypertension as many as 70 people (77.8%), almost all pregnant women did not suffer from diabetes as many as 86 people (95.6%) and did not experience twin pregnancies as many as 83 people (92.2%). Risk factors associated with pre-eclampsia events included parity (p value 0.033), obesity (p value 0.017), chronic hypertension (p value 0,000) and diabetes (p value 0.041. The most dominant risk factor after multivariate regression analysis logistics is chronic hypertension, it is recommended for health workers and the public to prevent the occurrence of pre-eclampsia, especially for mothers who have risk factors.

Abstract Background Domestic violence is a common problem that is related to many serious short-term and long-term health hazards around the world. Methods During obtaining the medical history from the participants, the questions used to assess the abuse were derived from the widely used Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS). Potential risk factors including a variety of socio-demographic and reproductive health-relation indicators were assessed. The influence of violence on the pregnancy outcome was determined by the continuous follow-up till giving birth. Results 513 pregnant women were included. The prevalence of violence among them was 50.8%. The prevalence of physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse was 30.2, 20, 41.7, and 45.4% respectively. Exposure to violence during pregnancy had significant effects on the women and their pregnancy outcome in the form of development of vaginal infection (P-value =0.036), vaginal bleeding (P-value = 0.008), preterm labour (P-value = 0.003), premature rupture of membrane (P-value = 0.001). Conclusion Violence against pregnant women in Minia Governorate, Egypt is common especially emotional violence and it has many adverse effects on the women and their pregnancy outcome. One of the most important risk factors is the fear of the husband which makes violence a continuous vicious circle.
