Effects of Electronic Technology Antenatal Care (E-ANC) on Midwives and Pregnant Women during the COVID-19 Period

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women are considered as a risk group for exposure to COVID-19. Changes in their hormones and immune systems possibly influence their rate of infection by several viruses, including the coronavirus. This stresses the need to observe necessary precautions, by maintaining social distancing, avoiding crowds, and staying at home. Furthermore, the condition also influences the scope of pregnant women’s antenatal visits. AIM: The study aims to determine the effect of COVID-19 on antenatal visits by pregnant women. Furthermore, it seeks to ascertain the effect of electronic technology antenatal care (e-ANC) on the enhanced participation of midwives and pregnant women in antenatal care (ANC) (i.e., counseling, high-risk early detection on pregnancy, and monitoring of Hb and Fe tablets). Therefore, the impact COVID-19 on women’s reproductive health during the pandemic is also evaluated. METHODS: This research involved pre- and post-test experiments on 30 pregnant women and 20 midwives at areas around the Public Health Centers in Tinggiede and Marawola. A purposive sampling technique was adopted, and the results were analyzed using a paired t-test. RESULTS: The study showed discrepancies in the ANC visits of pregnant women before and after the COVID-19 lockdown period, with p < 0.00. Furthermore, there were also differences in midwife participation in counseling by p < 0.00, high-risk early detection on pregnancy by p < 0.001, Hb monitoring by p < 0.002, and provision of Fe tablets by p < 0.003 during the pandemic. Moreover, the pregnant women showed variations in the frequency of counseling by p < 0.00, high-risk early detection on pregnancy by p < 0.00, Hb monitoring by p < 0.002, and the provision of Fe tablets by p < 0.003. The e-ANC instigated a decline in reproductive health problems before (73.4%) and after (10.0%) the intervention. CONCLUSION: The lockdown period influences the low antenatal visits of pregnant women. However, e-ANC for midwives and pregnant women is developed as an alternative solution to improve ANC (i.e., counseling, high-risk early detection, and monitoring Hb and Fe tablets). This consequently has an effect on the reduced reproductive health problems of pregnant women during the pandemic.

Abstract Background: Although the internet can be a source of reassurance and clarification for expectant women, it ‎could cause concerns or feelings of worry when reading about pregnancy-related ‎information. The current research sought to assess the feelings of worry and perceived reliability towards online pregnancy-related information and the associated factors among expectant women attending antenatal clinics at primary healthcare centers in Qatar.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. The participants were recruited through a systematic random sampling technique. ‎A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Descriptive and analytic statistics were used when appropriate‎.Results: A total of 327 expecting women completed the questionnaire. Most participants were aged between 26-34 years (74.1%), held a college/university degree (76.4%), and multigravidas (73.1%). About one-third of the women ‎(31.2‎%) reported feeling worried due to something they read online. The participants coped with these feelings by consulting their antenatal care provider at the next appointment (51.0%) or by talking with relatives and friends (47.0%). Furthermore, most women (79.2%) considered online pregnancy-related information to be reliable or highly reliable. Holding a college/university degree, primigravidae, and having no children were factors significantly associated with a high perception of reliability of online health information.Conclusion: Although online pregnancy information caused feelings of worry for some pregnant ‎women, most women perceived such information to be reliable. Thus, antenatal care providers should be equipped to guide pregnant women on how to access high-quality web-based information.

Antenatal Services

Antenatal care or antenatal care is a planned program that is observation, education and medical treatment for pregnant women, to obtain a safe and satisfying pregnancy and childbirth process. The indicator used to assess the access of pregnant women to antenatal care is K1 direction (first visit) is the contact of pregnant women to health workers and K4 (perspective visit) is 4 or more times contact with health workers. From the data of the Padang City Health Office, it was found that the Air Tawar Puskesmas with this low level was caused by various factors. The purpose of this study was to determine factors related to the use of antenatal services. This type of research is a quantitative study with cross sectional study design with 110 respondents of third trimester pregnant women with purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed univariate, bivariate with Chi squre test. From the research results obtained from the five factors studied, it was found that the factors related to the use of antenatal services in freshwater health centers were access or distance with pvalue 0.009 = OR 21.676), service availability factors with a p value of 0.001 = OR 9.293, the role factor midwives with a p value of 0.001 = OR 12.302, while the family income factor, disease complaints obtained results have nothing to do with the use of antenatal services. The author's suggestion is that there is a need for good coordination with the Independent Practice Midwife (BPM), revitalize puskesmas to more strategic places and improve better facilities, improve accessibility that can be minimized, strive to reach pregnant women, especially for accessibility that is less affordable.

Westudied patterns of antenatal care in low- versus high-risk pregnancies in Lebanon comparing 538 women after delivery in urban Beirut with rural Baka’a. Most women had 9 antenatal care visits with an obstetrician, starting in the first trimester. Care for high-risk and low-risk pregnancies was similar in terms of type of provider, number of visits and timing of first visit. More high-risk women had advice about special diets, supplements and laboratory tests. Maternal and fetal outcomes showed that, controlling for area and pregnancy risk, more antenatal visits were associated with fewer preterm deliveries, more caesarean sections and fewer cases of postpartum depression. Overall, differences between risk groups were small
