  • Well-being of health workers providing maternal and newborn care

    Open AccessAlya Hazfiarini, Martha Vazquez Corona et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Health workers providing maternal and newborn care can experience burnout and emotional distress, which harms their well-being and, consequently, their ability to deliver respectful care. The World Health Organization (WHO) Compendium on respectful maternal and newborn care identifies health workers’ well-being as a critical area for intervention, but no specific definition or domains of well-being exist for this group. We conducted a qualitative…

  • Financial and regulatory interventions to reduce unnecessary caesarean sections

    Open AccessRana Islamiah Zahroh, Alya Hazfiarini et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Caesarean section (CS) is a life-saving procedure and a critical component of comprehensive obstetric care, yet CS rates are rising globally beyond levels justified by clinical indications. Growing evidence suggests that health system supply-side factors, such as provider payment models that financially reward CS over vaginal birth and the absence or weak enforcement of clinical guidelines, are contributing to this trend. Despite increasing conce…

  • Rising caesarean section rates and factors affecting women’s decision-making about mode of birth in Indonesia

    Open AccessRana Islamiah Zahroh, Alya Hazfiarini et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Caesarean section (CS) rates in Indonesia are increasing rapidly. Understanding women's preferences about mode of birth is important to help contextualise these rising rates and can help develop interventions to optimise CS. This study aimed to explore Indonesian women's preferences and decision-making about mode of birth, and how their preferences may change throughout pregnancy and birth. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal quali…

  • Educational interventions targeting pregnant women to optimise the use of caesarean section

    Open AccessRana Islamiah Zahroh, Katy Sutcliffe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    We identified four key essential intervention components which can lead to successful interventions targeting women to reduce CS. These four components are 1) group-based delivery, 2) provision of IEC materials, 3) partner or family member involvement, and 4) opportunity for women to interact with health providers. Maternal health services and hospitals aiming to better prepare women for vaginal birth and reduce CS can consider including the iden…

  • Trends and sociodemographic inequalities in the use of caesarean section in Indonesia, 1987-2017

    Open AccessRana Islamiah Zahroh, George Disney et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Caesarean section (CS) rates are increasing globally. CS can be a live-saving procedure when medically indicated, but it comes with higher risks for women and newborns when done without medical indication. Crucially, inequalities in who receives CS exist, both within and across countries. Understanding factors driving increasing rates and inequalities of CS is imperative to optimise the use of this life-saving intervention. This stu…
