Abstract:
The provision of coninuty of care that will be carried out by midwives
on an ongoing basis with the aim of reducing high risks and which will lead to
complications leading to death of mothers and babies. The author provides
assistance to Mrs. M, 29 years old by visiting during the postpartum period,
neonates, and family planning and providing care according to the needs of the
mother and baby.
Care for Mrs. M was given from 18 March 2020 to 27 April 2020 as
many as 8 visits, namely 4 postpartum visits, 3 times neonatal visits, and 1x
family planning visit. As a result, from the post-partum visit, the mother
complained of pain originating from the post-SC scar. The complaints felt by the
mother are within physiological limits. At the neonatal visit there were no
complaints, the baby was in good health and physiological condition. As well as
during the family planning visit, the mother agreed to use 3-month injection
contraception.
The care that has been given can be understood and applied. Mothers are
cooperative in examinations and receive good health education, so that the authors
can provide care according to the needs of mothers and babies.
By providing care for postpartum mothers during a pandemic like this, the authors
found few limitations in knowing the health development of their participants,
who usually carried out direct examinations and used objective data, but during
this pandemic the authors only obtained data subjectively from the participants. It
is hoped that the existence of continuous midwifery care during the postpartum
period, neonates and family planning can reduce high risks and that will cause
AKI and IMR to increase and allow women to participate in making decisions
about the health of mothers and their babies.
