Abstract

Maternal and neonatal emergencies are cases that need to be treated immediately because they have a very high risk. Threats if not treated immediately can threaten the life of the mother and baby. Maternal Mortality Rate and Infant Mortality Rate in Indonesia are still high. Maternal mortality in Indonesia is still dominated by three main causes of death, namely bleeding, hypertension in pregnancy (HDK), and infection. In handling patients, midwives cannot work independently in handling emergency cases, so collaboration with other health workers, authorities, places of service and qualified facilities is needed. An appropriate and fast referral system is an effective and efficient step so that patients get optimal first aid and services. The procedure for making a referral is to begin with diagnosing the patient, giving informed consent, communicating with the referral site, making an introduction letter for a delivery referral, preparing transportation, reaccompanying the patient during refferal, and handing over responsibility to the hospital. This study explores how midwives make referrals to BAKSOKUDA standards in their Independent Midwife Practices. Data were taken using a questionnaire and carried out at one time. The results of this study are that most of the midwives have not made referrals according to BAKSOKUDA standards, the administrative procedures have been carried out optimally by midwives, most of the midwives do not understand the clinical procedures of the referral system, lack of knowledge about initial screening of referrals regarding emergency patients.
