Continuity of Care (COC) Midwifery Care for Mrs. “A” in Independent Practice Midwife “K” Palembang

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are still a global
problem. WHO recorded around 260,000 maternal deaths in 2023 and 2.3 million
neonatal deaths in 2022. In an effort to reduce these numbers, the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) set a target of MMR <70 per 100,000 live births and IMR
<12 per 1,000 live births. One of the strategic efforts that can be done is through
Continuity of Care (COC). This final project report aims to provide COC Midwifery Care
to Mrs. “A” at Independent Practice Midwife “K” Palembang with the Charitas
Spirituality approach. The method used is a case study with the SOAP approach
(Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) carried out on Mrs. “A” from July 16, 2024
to January 31, 2025. Primary and secondary data were used in data collection. The results
of the care showed that complaints during the first trimester of pregnancy were nausea,
and in the third trimester were back pain and vaginal discharge, but were still within
physiological limits. Labor took place quickly due to good maternal support and activity.
The postpartum period and the baby's condition were within the normal range. The
conclusion of the final report revealed that the subjective and objective data assessment
did not find any pathological problems and the mother was cooperative during the
assessment process. The assessment was established based on the results of the subjective
and objective data assessment. Plans and implementation were carried out according to
needs and care by applying the values of Charitas spirituality. Recommendations are
expected to improve the quality of services, especially in the provision of midwifery care
with Continuity of Care.
