Shin, Hyunjeong,Jeon, Songi,Cho, Inhae 한국간호과학회 2021 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

Background: Since industrialization, the rate of employed women has progressively increased worldwide. As a result, lots of women have experienced pregnancy and childbirth during employment. Pregnancy loss is one of the common adverse pregnancy outcomes, which is influenced not only by individual attributes but also by their environment; however, limited studies have been conducted considering working status as the environmental factor around pregnant women. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of missed, spontaneous, and threatened abortion between employed and unemployed women. Methods: We extracted data about all women of reproductive age who experienced pregnancy in 2019 using customized data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. In the present study, working women were defined as having employee-insured. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analyses. Results: A total of 551,781 women were identified including 271,965 of employed women (49.7%) and 279,816 of unemployed women (50.7%). Employed women were more likely to have threatened (aOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.19-1.34), missed (aOR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06-1.10), and spontaneous abortion (aOR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01-1.09) compared to unemployed women. Considering workplace characteristics among the employed women, those who engaged in manufacturing and health care and social work activities were more likely to have all three kinds of pregnancy complications compared to unemployed women. Also, women engaged in health care and social work activities had higher rates of threatened (aOR 1.16, 95% CI 1.09-1.33) and missed abortion (aOR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12) compared to the whole of the employed women. Conclusions: The study findings suggest that there is a need to develop policies on dealing with abortion as a workplace issue and to make efforts to reduce the number of missed, spontaneous, and threatened abortion in workplace.

Shin, Hyunjeong,Jeon, Songi,Cho, Inhae 한국간호과학회 2021 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

Background: Preterm birth, being born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, is a major reason why newborns die and may also mean long-term disability for surviving infants. Although many factors have been shown to increase the risk of preterm birth, uterine or cervical abnormalities (e.g. incompetent cervix, premature rupture of membrane (PROM)) and multifetal pregnancies are known to be major risk factors. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the trends in the incidence or prevalence rates of preterm births and the related conditions including incompetent cervix, PROM, multifetal pregnancy, and preterm contraction in Korea. Methods: We extracted data about all women of reproductive age who experienced pregnancy for each year during 2002-2019 from the data of Korean National Health Insurance Service. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated by the direct method with the 2002 population as the standard population. Annual percent change (APC) was calculated to estimate the trends in rates of prevalence or incidence. Results: The average APCs in age-adjusted incidence rates of preterm contraction, multiple pregnancy, incompetent cervix, and PROM were 19.7 (95%CI, 16.9~22.5), 11.1 (95%CI, 10.5~11.6), 12.2 (95%CI, 10.0~14.5), and 9.4 (95%CI, 6.8~12.1), respectively. The trend in incidence rates of preterm births was divided into 3 segments: an increasing period for 2008-2012 (APC=11.9 [95% CI, 3.2~21.5]), a decreasing period for 2012-2016 (APC= -6.7 [95% CI, -17.6~5.8]), and then the increasing period again for 2016-2019 (APC=5.8 [95%CI, -9.6~23.9]) showing that an increase only 2008-2012 had a significant change. Conclusions: The rates of incidence or prevalence of preterm birth and the associated conditions have been increasing over the last 18 years. The study findings suggest that nurses need to educate the public about preterm birth and the associated conditions, and participate in the development and evaluation of public health strategies to reduce the preterm birth rates.

Trends in the prevalence of multiple pregnancies and associated adverse pregnancy outcomes in Korea

Shin, Hyunjeong,Jeon, Songi,Cho, Inhae 한국간호과학회 2021 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

Background: Recent decades have seen a major increase in the rates of multiple gestations globally. Multiple pregnancies can lead to significant health problems for women and their babies. Multiple gestations are associated with higher age and with greater weight gain during pregnancy than with singleton pregnancies, and both of these characteristics are risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), high blood pressure during pregnancy, and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the trend in the incidence rates of multiple pregnancies, GDM, gestational hypertensive disorders (GHDs), and PPH in Korea. Methods: We extracted data about all women of reproductive age who experienced pregnancy for each year during 2002-2019 from the data of Korean National Health Insurance Service. Age-adjusted incidences were calculated by the direct method with the 2002 population as the standard population. Annual percent change (APC) was calculated to estimate the trends in rates of prevalence. Results: Over 18 years, the average age of pregnant women increased from 29.49 to 32.84 years, and pregnant women aged 35 years or older increased from 11.06% to 37.00%. The average APC in age-adjusted incidence rates of multiple pregnancies was 11.1 (95% CI, 10.5-11.6). The average APCs of GDM, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), preeclampsia, eclampsia, and PPH were 16.8 (95%CI, 12.9~20.9), 12.9 (95%CI, 11.7~14.0), -0.4 (95%CI, -1.7~1.0), -7.8 (95%CI, -11.2~-4.3), and 12.5 (95%CI, 10.6~14.4), respectively. In case of preeclampsia, however, the 3 jointpoint analysis revealed that an increase only 2014-2019 had a significant change (APC=11.9 [95%CI, 8.0~15.9]). Conclusions: The prevalence of multiple pregnancies and the associated adverse pregnancy outcomes except eclampsia are on the rise trends with an increase of the average age of pregnancy. It is important to evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes of multiple pregnancies, with making efforts to decrease incidence rates of GDM, GHDs, and PPH.
