Role Of the Midwife in The Use of Ultrasonography (USG) Equipment in Antenatal Care (ANC) Service: A Scoping Review
Abstract
Ultrasonography (USG) is one of the technological tools in the health sector, especially in midwifery. Midwives are recommended to be able to use technology in the field of midwifery to reduce maternal and child mortality, especially in Indonesia. The aim of this literature study is to determine the role of midwives in the use of ultrasonography (USG) equipment in Antenatal Care (ANC) services. The method used in this literature study is scoping review, the literature search in this study uses 3 health journal databases (PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect). For the selection of articles obtained based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, using a Prisma Flowchart for the flow of article selection, and doing by critical appraisal using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) instrument. The results of the review of a total search of 2,018 articles then found 10 articles that were included in the aim and criteria of the literature study that were set. The articles obtained from various countries consist of quantitative, qualitative, and mix method studies, which obtained 3 themes and 5 sub-themes, namely benefits, curriculum development, and factors that influence the use of ultrasonography (USG) by midwives. It can be concluded that from a review of 10 articles, the need for training and additional curriculum for midwives can use ultrasonography (USG) to determine early pregnancy status and detect abnormalities in a pregnant woman.
