Abstract

Maternal complications can lead to serious effects to mothers and newborns. This study aims to evaluate the current prevalence of self-reported maternal complications in Indonesia and its regional differences as a basis for targeted strategy for improving maternal health. This study analyzes the latest round of the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) which was conducted in 2017. IDHS 2017 was a cross-sectional study conducted in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The outcome variables are self-reported maternal complications during pregnancy and/or labor. STATA was used to obtained weighted prevalence and spatial description of self-reported complications across provinces in Indonesia. In this study, we found almost 18% of pregnant women have at least one complication during their pregnancy, with 4.9% reported to have two or more complications during pregnancy. A higher prevalence was reported during labor, with 52% of women reported to have at least one labor complications, and more than 22% reported to have two or more complications. The prevalence for pregnancy complications were higher in urban areas (19.7%) compared to rural areas (16.2%). There were also significant differences by provinces. Self-reported pregnancy complications prevalence ranging from 6.2% in West Papua to 22.4% in DKI Jakarta. Meanwhile, the prevalence of self-reported labor complications ranging from 28% in South Sulawesi to 66.5% in Banten. This study showed persistently high prevalence and regional disparities of self-reported maternal complications, particularly during labor. The regional disparities might reflect differences in awareness, access to healthcare, and underlying maternal problems between the provinces in Indonesia.
