Abstract

Indonesia is a developing country in which maternal mortality remains a major public health issue. The question which arises here is “What does literature say about socio-cultural factors related to pregnancy and childbirth determines maternal mortality in Indonesia?” This paper aims to explore the socio-culture aspects of pregnancy and childbirth which determines maternal mortality in Indonesia. A systematic search has been conducted to understand the socio-culture aspect of pregnancy and delivery which determines maternal mortality in Indonesia. 37 articles were retrieved but only 25 articles ranging from 2005 to 2015 were reviewed and they yielded 2 themes which have emerged from the literature review. They are; (1)Vulnerable populations of Maternal Mortality in Indonesia, and (2) Cultural-Barriers. The first theme raised the fact that there are vulnerable population susceptible to maternal mortality in Indonesia including the low economic status family (poor family and low education), people living in rural areas and teenagers and unmarried women. The second theme explored culture barriers consisting of perceptions related to pregnancy, delivery and death, perceptions related to family planning, practice related to pregnancy and delivery, Traditional Birth Attendant, gender inequity, and perception related to midwife performance and health services.
