Abstract

The target of government in the use of health care facilities for birth process (90% of delivery process in conducted by health practitioners) has not been reached. The research used a cross sectional design. The population included all mothers have given birth process from April to July 2017. The samples were selected using the proposive sampling (with data collection sheet). They were 89 mothers who had previous delivery experience. This study used chi-square test. The data were presented in the form of frequency distribution and percentages followed with narration.The results are: knowledge factor (ρ=0.000 less than α=0.05), habit factor (ρ=0.004 less than α= 0.05), the factor of distance to health care service (ρ=0.001 less than α= 0.05), and midviwe availability factor (ρ=0.003 less than α= 0.05). It is concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge, habit, distance to health care service, midwive availability and requesting midwives to help in birth process.

1 Introduction
Maternal and Child Health (MCH) is one of the goals of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Mdg 2015
targets related to KIA include reducing maternal mortality (AKI) to 102/100,000 live births and lowering
infant mortality (AKB) to 23/1000 and maternity assistance by health workers by 90%.
According to a World Health Organisation (WHO) report published in 2014, the maternal mortality rate
(AKI) in the world reached 289,000. Divided into several countries, the United States reached 9300 people,
North Africa 179,000 people, and Southeast Asia 16,000 people. The Maternal Mortality Rate (AKI) in
Indonesia reaches 214 per 100,000 live births (WHO, 2014).
The same thing happened in the Sulawesi Selatan province in 2017 which is still quite high, which is 120
people, where the most cases are caused by bleeding and others due to preeclampsia and infection. And
among them occurred because of childbirth which was helped by shamans (Sul-Sel Provincial Health Office
2012). In Gowa Aki Regency as many as 12 people in 2015 and increased in 2017 to 14 people (Gowa Regency
Health Office). This is because there is still a delivery that is helped by shamans by 20% to 30%, especially in
rural areas (Casey et al., 2001; Rosero-Bixby, 2004). Childbirth assistance is a labor service process that
begins at the time of I to the IV period of labor. The achievement of maternity health efforts is measured
through the percentage of childbirth indicators assisted by trained health workers (PN coverage). This
indicator shows among others the level of the government's ability to provide quality maternity services
assisted by trained health workers (Kemenkes, 2017). The use of health facilities for maternity assistance is
still not following the target set by the government, namely, 90% of labor is helped by health workers. For this
reason, the government made a breakthrough with the Jampersal program, intended for all pregnant,
maternity, and nonfascious women and newborns who do not have health insurance or health insurance
(Depkes RI, 2012).
The goal of health development in Indonesia is directed to further improve the degree of health and quality
of human resources. This is demonstrated by efforts to increase life expectancy, reduce the mortality rate of
babies, children, and mothers giving birth, increase work productivity and increase public awareness to be
able to live clean and healthy lives (Citra, 2012).
One of the main factors contributing to the high maternal mortality rate is the limited place of adequate
delivery and the lack of health workers directly related to the labor process (Metti & Rosmadewi, 2019).
Maternity health efforts are carried out to encourage every delivery to be helped by trained health workers,
namely obstetrics and gynecology specialists (SpOG), general practitioners, and midwives and are sought to
be carried out in health care facilities (Amalia, 2013).
Various efforts are made to improve public access to quality maternal health services, namely working for
adequate amounts of health workers with the best quality, especially midwives, providing the best health care
facilities following standards, especially the provision of Basic Neonatal Emergency Obstetric Services
(PONED) and Comprehensive Neonatal Emergency Obstetric Services (PONEK) for 24 hours in seven days
known as PONED and PONEK, moving all levels of society, especially for the implementation of the Maternity
Planning Program with Complication Prevention (Dinkes, 2014).
According to Amilda (2010), factors that have a meaningful relationship with the selection of maternity
assistance by baby shamans are the level of knowledge, economic status, and affordability of health facilities
(Mulyani et al., 2017). The factors of education level and perception have no meaningful relationship with the
selection of childbirth by the baby shaman. Research to Yenita (2011), some of the factors that influence the
selection of maternity assistance are maternal education, husband education, knowledge, socio-economic,
work, culture, costs, attitudes, the distance of service location, and decisions on the selection of childbirth
helpers are husband, family support, and access to health services (Malterud, 2001; Gazmararian et al., 2003).
Based on research Khaerudin (2012), shows that the coverage of maternity assistance by health workers at
Cijeruk Health Center Bogor Regency who has not met the target illustrates that the level of utilization of labor
assistance by health workers in the region is still low. According to the statement, the Palangga Health Center
has not met this target related to the still low public awareness about childbirth by health workers. In
addition, there is still a high level of confidence to carry out labor by the baby shaman (Mulyani, 2018).

2 Materials and Methods
This research is quantitative. Researchers use the design of the study with a cross-sectional method because
in this study independent and dependent variables will be observed at the same time (period). The variables
are knowledge, attitudes/habits, distance to health services, and the availability of skilled personnel. The
dependent variable is the Involvement of Maternity Assisted Midwives (Notoatmodjo, 2012). The population
in this study is all mothers who have given birth in the Puskesmas Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa
this study used primary data obtained from filling out questionnaires and secondary data obtained from the
Health Profile of PallanggaGowa Health Center.

Knowledge relationship with midwife involvement in maternity assistance
One of the obstacles to midwives in providing maternity services is due to the lack of knowledge and ability of
mothers who cause late decisions in seeking help so that the community comes to the midwife if it is an
emergency.
Based on the results of statistical analysis there is an expected value of 0.000 so that the value of ρ = 0.000
is less than α = 0.05, thus Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So it can be said that there is a relationship
between the mother's level of knowledge and the involvement of midwives in maternity assistance at
puskesmas Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa. Furi & Megatsari (2014), showed that the majority of
respondents who gave birth to baby shamans had low knowledge. This research is in line with the results of
Latifah's research (2010) which showed that there is indeed a relationship between knowledge and the
selection of childbirth assistance by baby shamans. The lower the mother's knowledge, the less she wants to
take advantage of health services.
Habitual Relationship with Midwife Involvement in maternity assistance
Based on the results of statistical analysis there is an expected value (expected value) of 0.004 so that the
value of ρ = 0.004 is less than α = 0.05, thus Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So it can be said that there is a
relationship between mother's habits and the involvement of midwives in maternity assistance at Puskesmas
Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa.
Pregnancy and birth are natural phenomena in life, but various groups of people and cultures in the world
have a variety of perceptions, interpretations and behavioral responses in dealing with it with various
implications for health Cultural culture of our people, especially in the countryside, still believe more in
shaman lambing than midwives let alone doctors (Carden & Wood, 2018; Verplanken et al., 2008). With a
cultural attitude and most people in the countryside still choose shaman lambing as a helper in childbirth even
with a very high risk.

In addition, labor assistance by shamans often causes cases of childbirth including the baby's head has
been born but the body has not come out, or the partus is stuck because the skills of the baby shaman are less
professional and only based on experience. This research is following research conducted by Anggorodi
(2009), who states that the role of baby shamans in the process of pregnancy and childbirth is very closely
related to local culture and customs. Mothers who already have a culture of childbirth in baby shamans will
certainly take a long time in changing the culture to give birth to health workers.
Distance link to health services with midwife involvement in maternity assistance
Based on the results of statistical analysis there is an expected value (expected value) of 0.001 so that the
value of ρ = 0.001 is less than α = 0.05, thus Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So it can be said that there is a
distance relationship to health services with the involvement of midwives in maternity assistance at
Puskesmas Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa. Community affordability including the distance of
health facilities will affect the selection of health services. Distance is the second component that allows a
person to utilize treatment services (Dahlberg et al., 2016; McCourt et al., 2012). Some villages still have
difficulty getting access to health services, not all villages have health centers and medical personnel such as:
doctors, midwives, and nurses. Geographically there are still many people who live far from health facilities.
Access to health care facilities is related to several things including the distance of residence and travel
time to health facilities, as well as social - economic and cultural status, the location of the place of service that
is not strategic/difficult to achieve causes a lack of access to pregnant women who will give birth. Travel time
and ease to health facilities are not always related to the utilization of the Mother and Child Health program,
but there are marked differences in access to health services according to the area of residence (Hall et al.,
2012; Dalton et al., 2014).
Relationship of the availability of midwife energy with the Involvement of midwives in maternity assistance
With the availability of skilled personnel in the village makes it easier for mothers to get KIA services,
especially in childbirth assistance. The results of statistical analysis there is an expected value (expected
value) of 0.003 so that the value of ρ = 0.003 is less than α = 0.05, thus Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So it
can be said that there is a relationship between the availability of midwives and the involvement of midwives
in maternity assistance at Puskesmas Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa. The existence of skilled
midwives in the village continuously and sedentary and the distance of residence with puskesmas determines
the effectiveness of its services. With the existence of Poskesdes / Puskesmas and midwives in the community,
it is expected that there will be an interaction between midwives and the community in carrying out and
providing convenience for KIA services, including improving the ability of baby shamans as partners in
providing health counseling for pregnant women and childbirth assistance both in terms of distance and in
terms of financing. The existence of midwives in the village will contribute to the use of health workers
because childbirth can occur at any time of the day and night so the presence of midwives in the place makes
it easier to ask for help quickly and affordably.
4 Conclusion
After the author conducts the study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between maternal
knowledge, maternal habits, distance to health services, and the availability of midwives with midwife
involvement in maternity assistance at Puskesmas Pallangga, districts Pallangga, district Gowa.

Knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding has been proven, through previous studies, as one of the factors that affect the readiness of pregnant mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. It is also widely reported about the job or profession mothers (especially those done outside the home) as factors inhibiting the implementation of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to examine the role of the moderator job as the relationship between knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding with maternal readiness in exclusive breastfeeding. Cross-sectional study performed on pregnant women with first child, a sample of 139 respondents was taken to the criteria does not work (housewives) or working outdoors. Enclosed questionnaire was used to measure the knowledge and readiness of mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. The data analysis technique used is the linear regression model. The results showed that the significant effect of knowledge on the readiness of pregnant women at work (R = 0.412; p = 0.002) but not significant in pregnant women who do not work (R = 0.187; p = 0.086). It can be concluded that the work has a role as moderator effect of exclusive breastfeeding knowledge about the readiness of pregnant mothers in exclusive breastfeeding.

Women who prepare early will be better prepared both physically and psychologically to breastfeed exclusively. The purpose of this research was to determine whether the motivation variable as a mediator of the relation between knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding with readiness to exclusive breastfeeding. The study was observational, A total of 150 respondents, These three variables, namely knowledge, motivation, and readiness in exclusive breastfeeding, measured by the enclosed questionnaire. Correlation between variables was analyzed with path analysis. The relation between variables in all three models was significant (p <0.001), whereas the relation between knowledge and preparedness in exclusive breastfeeding is not significant (1b '= 0.142; p = 0.092). The relation between knowledge and preparedness in exclusive breastfeeding changed from the first model, into the fourth model. Besides there is a decline in the path coefficient of 0,302 became 0,142, the relation also becomes insignificant. This shows that the fourth mediation relationship condition is fulfilled. Pregnant women motivation exclusively breastfed mediates the relationship between knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding with maternal readiness in exclusive breastfeeding.

Background Usage rates for information and communication technologies (ICTs) in healthcare have been increasing in recent years, but often lag behind general usage rates for populations as a whole. Research into such differential rates of ICT use across different segments of the population has identified a number of possible causal factors that limit usage. Aim The research investigated midwives’ attitudes and experiences of ICT use to identify potential causal factors that encourage or inhibit their usage in antenatal care. Methods Semi-structured interviews, focus groups and short surveys were conducted with midwives who provide antenatal education at an Australian metropolitan hospital. Thematic and statistical analyses were used to interpret the data. Findings Although midwives recognised the potential benefits of using ICTs to deliver pregnancy-related health information many had reservations about their use in everyday work. These reservations centred on lack of training in use of ICTs, the perceived legal risks associated with social media, potential violations of patient privacy, misdiagnosis and misunderstandings between midwife and client. Conclusion Midwives face a number of barriers to effective use of ICTs in healthcare including material access, skills access, usage access and motivational access. Motivational access appears to be a key concern due to the high perception of risk associated with social media in particular. Reducing the motivational barriers through a range of interventions with midwifery staff may assist in overcoming other barriers to ICT use in antenatal care. Further research is required to determine whether these findings are generalisable to other healthcare contexts.

The habit discontinuity hypothesis states that when a context change disrupts individuals’ habits, a window opens in which behavior is more likely to be deliberately considered. The self-activation hypothesis states that when values incorporated in the self-concept are activated, these are more likely to guide behavior. Combining these two hypotheses, it was predicted that context change enhances the likelihood that important values are considered and guide behavior. This prediction was tested in the domain of travel mode choices among university employees who had recently moved versus had not recently moved residence. As was anticipated, participants who had recently moved and were environmentally concerned used the car less frequently for commuting to work. This was found not only when compared to those who were low on environmental concern (which would be a trivial finding), but also to those who were environmentally concerned but had not recently moved. The effects were controlled for a range of background variables. The results support the notion that context change can activate important values that guide the process of negotiating sustainable behaviors.

Utilization of delivery assistance by professional staff (midwives) in the community is very low compared to the expected indicators. The behavior of pregnant women in planning for the selection of delivery assistance is influenced by various factors. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the selection of birth attendants. The type of research used is quantitative with a cross-sectional research design. The number of samples taken was 42 people with the Consecutive Sampling technique. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The data obtained was then analyzed with the Chi Square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between education and the selection of birth attendants (p value = 0.005). In addition, there is a significant relationship between parity and age and the selection of birth attendants (p value = 0.033 and p value = 0.025). Therefore, it is hoped that health workers can provide counseling related to the selection of birth attendants so that they can improve the health status of mothers and babies.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to gain a deeper understanding of women's experiences of midwifery care in connection with home visits during the early postnatal period. Research design/setting: A qualitative approach was chosen for data collection, and the data presented are based on six focus group interviews (n: 24). The women were both primiparous and multiparous, aged 22-37, and lived with their partners. All participants had given birth at a maternity unit responsible for about 4000 births a year. The transcribed interviews were analysed through systematic text condensation. Findings: The findings are reflected in three main themes: 'The importance of relational continuity', 'The importance of a postpartum talk' and 'Vulnerability in the early postnatal period'. When the woman had a personal relationship with the midwife responsible for the home visit she experienced predictability, availability and confidence. The women wanted recognition and time to talk about their birth experience. They also felt vulnerable in their maternal role in the early postnatal period and the start of the breast-feeding process. Conclusions: It is important to promote relational continuity models of midwifery care to address the emotional aspects of the postnatal period. Women generally wish to discuss their birth experience, preferably with the midwife who was present during the birth. Due to the short duration of postnatal care in hospitals, the visit from the midwife a few days after childbirth becomes all the more important.

There is evidence that the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by childbearing women is becoming increasingly popular in industrialised countries. The aim of this is paper is to review the research literature investigating the midwives' support for the use of these therapies. A search for relevant research published from 2000 to 2009 was undertaken using a range of databases and by examining relevant bibliographies. A total of thirteen studies were selected for inclusion in this review. The findings indicate that the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine is widespread in midwifery practice. Common indications for use include; labour induction and augmentation, nausea and vomiting, relaxation, back pain, anaemia, mal-presentation, perineal discomfort, postnatal depression and lactation problems. The most popular therapies recommended by midwives are massage therapy, herbal medicines, relaxation techniques, nutritional supplements, aromatherapy, homeopathy and acupuncture. Midwives support the use Complementary and Alternative Medicine because they believe it is philosophically congruent; it provides safe alternatives to medical interventions; it supports the woman's autonomy, and; incorporating Complementary and Alternative Medicine can enhance their own professional autonomy. There is considerable support by midwives for the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by expectant women. Despite this enthusiasm, currently there are few educational opportunities and only limited research evidence regarding CAM use in midwifery practice. These shortfalls need to be addressed by the profession. Midwives are encouraged to have an open dialogue with childbearing women, to document use and to base any advice on the best available evidence.

Baby Soothsayers are Still in Birthing Process by Indonesian Community. One of health case which still many happened in Indonesia, born children with helped by baby soothsayer. In reality, most all Indonesia publics either that is who live in rural and also more even a urban love to be helped by soothsayer. The thing because of local tradition and mores. Purpose of research. Finds strategic to build cohesive network between the prominent as of themes, public, soothsayer and midwife in executing health service of maternal and perinatal joinly. Research method. Applies qualitative method. Technique done is in-depth interview. Informan is baby soothsayer, nurse and delivering birth mother helped by delivering birth baby soothsayer and mother helped by midwife. Research is done in Kabupaten Kendari (South-east Sulawesi), countryside Tobimiita and countryside Inalobu and countryside Lapulu; Sub-Province Cirebon (West Java), countryside Bode Sari and countryside Karangasem and countryside Gombong. Analysis. Effort for improvement of service of health of like the one mirror in soothsayer program to train that of course not aim to eliminate role played by system treatment of old health and changes it with system treatment of new health. Education given in soothsayer program to train that is justri realized as confession to carry out (enforcement) health service to baby soothsayer institute. Moreover, with education given, baby soothsayer is assumed can replace presence of new health facility assumed able to increase public health level. Conclusion. Partnership is one of solution for this problem most off all will develop cloistered areas where access every very limited health service. Keywords: baby soothsayer
