Abstract Background Poor maternal nutrition adversely affects pregnancy and birth outcomes. In many societies, there are dietary restrictions due to misconceptions or food taboos during pregnancy which consequently results in the depletion of important nutrients. These cultural malpractices and beliefs can influence the dietary intake of pregnant women which subsequently affects the birth outcome. The study aimed at exploring the extent of food taboos and misconceptions during pregnancy in rural communities of Illu Aba Bor Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods A qualitative study was conducted using an in-depth interviews of key informants and focus group discussions among purposively selected pregnant women and their husbands, health care workers, health extension workers, and elderly people. Data were transcribed verbatim, thematized; color-coded, and analyzed manually using the thematic framework method. Result Thorough reading and review of the transcripts generated three major themes. The primary theme was the belief and practice of taboos related to the intake of certain food items during pregnancy. Pregnant women, their husbands, and mothers-in-law believed that certain foods should be avoided during pregnancy. The second theme was foods that were held as taboo and the reason attached to it. The most common food items held as taboo were related to the consumption of vegetables like cabbage, pumpkin, milk and milk products, sugar cane, fruits like bananas and avocado and egg. The main reasons to avoid these foods were beliefs that it can be plastered on the fetal head, making fatty baby which is difficult for delivery. The third theme was the reasons underlying adherence to food taboos which is deeply embedded in the person’s believes and attitudes of the pregnant women, who were nested within the influence of the social environment surrounding them and the traditional beliefs and values of the society in general. Conclusions The results showed a widespread practice of food taboos during pregnancy in the study area. The finding suggested that there is a need for strengthening the nutrition counseling components of antenatal care follow-up and planning comprehensive nutrition education through involving important others to dispel such traditional beliefs and prevent food taboo practices in the study community.

Food Taboos

A well-nourished and healthy population is a central tenet of sustainable development. In South Africa, cultural beliefs and food taboos followed by some pregnant women influence their food consumption, which impacts the health of mothers and children during pregnancy and immediately afterwards. We documented food taboos and beliefs amongst pregnant isiXhosa women from five communities in the Kat River Valley, South Africa. A mixed-methods approach was used, which was comprised of questionnaire interviews with 224 women and nine focus group discussions with 94 participants. Overall, 37% of the women reported one or more food practices shaped by local cultural taboos or beliefs. The most commonly avoided foods were meat products, fish, potatoes, fruits, beans, eggs, butternut and pumpkin, which are rich in essential micronutrients, protein and carbohydrates. Most foods were avoided for reasons associated with pregnancy outcome, labour and to avoid an undesirable body form for the baby. Some pregnant women consumed herbal decoctions for strengthening pregnancy, facilitating labour and overall health of both themselves and the foetus. Most learnt of the taboos and practices from their own mother or grandmother, but there was also knowledge transmission in social groups. Some pregnant women in the study may be considered nutritionally vulnerable due to the likelihood of decreased intake of nutrient-rich foods resulting from cultural beliefs and food taboos against some nutritious foods. Encouraging such women to adopt a healthy diet with more protein-rich foods, vegetables and fruits would significantly improve maternal nutrition and children’s nutrition. Adhering to culturally appropriate nutrition education may be an important care practice for many pregnant women in the Kat River Valley.

Maternal and infant mortality are two correlated subjects, because during pregnancy the mother's placenta distributes nutrients to the fetus so the baby born is affected by the condition of his mother. Central Java has significant maternal and neonatal mortality rates in Indonesia. In this case, need a research to analyze the factors that influence maternal and infant mortality using Bivariate Poisson Regression (BPR) method. BPR is the right method because it can reconfirm two data that are correlated with Poisson distribution. This study produced three models. The first model is the maternal mortality rate has several significant factors, including pregnant women implementing the K1 and K4 program, vitamin A to postpartum mothers, pregnant women getting Fe tablets, and midwifery handle complications. The second model is the infant deaths that have factors pregnant women implementing the K4 program, helped assistance by medical team, postpartum mothers receiving vitamin A, pregnant women getting Fe tablets, complications handled by midwifery, and KB participants. The final model involves maternal and infant mortality. Significant factors are pregnant women implementing the K1 program, pregnant women implementing the K4 program, giving vitamin A to postpartum mothers, and KB participants.

Kehamilan normal bisa memiliki risiko, semua ibu hamil  perlu perawatan agar ibu dan janin tetap dalam keadaan sehat. Sedangkan kehamilan yang resiko tinggi akan menghadapi berbagai permasalahan yang dapat mengganggu proses persalinan. Kehamilan dengan masalah dikelompokkan kehamilan risiko tinggi yaitu keadaan yang dapat mempengaruhi optimalisasi ibu maupun janin (Manuaba,2003). Kehamilan risiko tinggi adalah kehamilan dengan satu lebih  faktor risiko baik ibu maupun janinnya yang memberi dampak kurang menguntungkan baik ibu maupun janinnya (Rochjati, 2003). Apabila setiap abnormalitas dicurigai berdasarkan atas riwayat atau pemeriksaan fisik, maka pasien dirujuk ke pemeriksa dengan keahlian dalam ultrasonografi (Tucker, 2004).Di Provinsi Jawa Tengah pada tahun 2015 terdapat 619 kasus kematian ibu. Kota Semarang menduduki peringkat ke 2 setelah kabupaten Brebes dengan jumlah kematian ibu di Kota Semarang  terdapat 35 kasus. Di Puskesmas Purwoyoso pada tahun 2015 terdapat 1 kasus kematian ibu. Sedangkan jumlah ibu hamil resiko tinggi di Puskesmas Purwoyoso pada tahun 2015 terdapat 595 ibu hamil.Untuk mencari alternatif solusi pemecahan masalah di atas, maka diadakan peningkatan pengetahuan tentang pendampingan ibu hamil resiko tinggi di Puskesmas Purwoyoso dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan para kader tentang kehamilan resiko tinggi. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan didapatkan hasil pengetahuan dan kesadaran para kader untuk melaksanakan pendampingan meningkat.Diharapkan setelah dilakukan pengabdian penulis menyarankan para kader, keluarga dan suami mendukung ibu hamil untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di bidan ataupun di puskesmas.Kata kunci        : IBM ; Kader ; Pendampingan ibu hamil resiko tinggi IBM HIGH RISK PREGNANCY ASSISTANCE BY POSYANDU CARDER IN PURWOYOSO PUSKESMAS REGIONNormal pregnancy can have a risk, all pregnant women need care so that mother and fetus remain in good health.
