Objective: Refugee or immigrant women residing in conflict prone countries portray elevated mental health related vulnerabilities during their peripartum periods and require effective interventions for improved maternal and child well-being. The objective of this systematic review is to generate evidence on effective interventions for managing peripartum mental health issues among refugee women from conflicted settings.
Study Design: Systematic review.
Article Synopsis
- Bangladesh faces high maternal mortality due to delivery complications, particularly in hard-to-reach areas with limited healthcare access, motivating a study to assess contributing factors among mothers in these regions.
- Data collected from 1,290 mothers in 13 sub-districts revealed that 32% experienced complications during delivery, with prolonged labour pain and obstructive labour being the most common issues.
- The study found that higher education, more antenatal care visits, and being a first-time mother increased the likelihood of complications, while unnecessary caesarean deliveries were prevalent at private facilities.
