Background: Despite its essential benefits to prevent pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality, comprehensive preconception counselling care in Indonesia is yet to exist. Before further developing the appropriate care for women, this study aimed to understand the current situation and propose essential elements necessary for further developing the optimal preconception care in Indonesian primary care.
Study Design: Focus group (FG) discussions guided by grounded theory approach were conducted with Indonesian general practitioners, nurses, midwives, and obstetricians from Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province, between July and September 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The review addresses the lack of comprehensive preconception care guidelines for low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), where maternal mortality rates are high, and seeks to identify effective models for these settings.
- Nine articles were reviewed, leading to three key themes: Platforms for recommended settings, Core Principles for essential screening and management, and Women Empowerment to support women's decisions regarding pregnancy.
- The findings highlight a significant gap in preconception care models in LMICs and suggest that improving access and promoting women’s empowerment are critical for successful implementation of preconception services in these regions.
