| Popis: | The Maternity Care Monitoring project in Indonesia analyzes the protective triad of: 1) breastfeeding; 2) family planning; and 3) antenatal care. The same data set and the same technique of 3 dimensional display of findings is used as in previous analysis. The 11-university center pool comprises 36802 mothers with singleton birth admitted from autumn 1978 to summer 1980. 7 items were selected from the maternity record: 1) maternal education; 2) maternal age; 3) breastfeeding of the previous live birth; 4) contraceptive method used before the current conception; 5) number of antenatal visits; 6) number of months since last pregnancy ended; and 7) death of fetus/newborn. 33.2% of the mothers had breast fed 12+ months as compared with 54.9% for women for very little education in their early 30s; against only 18.2% for women with a high educational level in their early 20s. At all ages long breastfeeding (12+ months) decreases markedly with formal education and for all educational levels long breastfeeding decreases for younger age cohorts. 15.9% of the mothers had practiced family planning. Practice increases with formal education but a more marked increase in practice is documented with increasing maternal age within the educational categories. The decision to practice is more dependent on age (parity) than on formal education. The mean duration of birth interval was 31.8 months as compared with 23.5 months for women with short breastfeeding (1-5 months) and no contraception against 44.8 months for women with 6-11 months of breastfeeding and use of the IUD--a difference in length of birth interval of 21/3 months: 49.7% of the mothers showed a total lack of pregnancy care. The rate of hospital perinatal death is 76.2/1000 singleton infants. An important threshold of antenatal visits appears to be 4. |
