Abstract

Miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) and stillbirths have been regarded as one of the most common reasons for losing a baby during the period of pregnancy. From the societal perspective, losing a baby in pregnancy either through miscarriage or stillbirth has been acknowledged as a taboo and usually associated with stigma and shame. Acknowledging the magnitude of the problem and the impact on the quality of life of the pregnant women, a number of interventions have been recommended comprising of enhancing access to the available care and services, ensuring continuity of care through midwives and exploring the scope of delivery of community care as well. In conclusion, miscarriages and stillbirths are preventable to a significant extent and the need of the hour is to offer socio-culturally relevant, respectful and dignified care of the pregnant women, regardless of the settings to ensure that it no more continues to remain a social stigma.

Spontan Düşüklerin ve Ölü Doğumların Kadınlar Üzerindeki Etkisi: Sağlık Sektörünün Rolü

Abstract

Spontan düşükler ve ölü doğumlar, gebelik dönemi bebek ölümlerinin en yaygın nedenlerindendir. Toplumsal açıdan bakıldığında, gebeliğin düşük veya ölü doğum yoluyla sona ermesi bir tabu olarak kabul edilmekte ve genellikle damgalanma ve utanç ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Sorunun büyüklüğü ve gebe kadınların yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkileri göz önünde bulundurularak, mevcut doğum öncesi bakım ve hizmetlere erişimin artırılmasını, ebe yoluyla bakımın sürekliliğini sağlamayı ve doğumu kapsamına alacak şekilde toplumun sağlık düzeyinin yükselmesini içeren bir dizi uygulama önerilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, düşükler ve ölü doğumlar büyük ölçüde önlenebilir niteliktedir. Günümüzde hamile kadınlara sosyokültürel bileşenleri olan, saygılı ve onurlu doğum öncesi bakım hizmeti sunulması ile birlikte düşükler ve ölü doğumlar sosyal bir damgalama olarak kadın sağlığına etkili bir faktör olarak var olmayacaktır.
