ABSTRACT:
Pregnancy is a complex physiological condition involving various adaptations within the maternal body systems, including cardiovascular, endocrine, immunological, and neurological systems. These changes aim to support fetal development. However, neurological complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period may arise due to multiple factors, including hypertension, coagulation disorders, autoimmune diseases, and hormonal changes that affect nerve function. Pregnant and postpartum women presenting with acute neurological symptoms are considered highly critical patients. Previous studies have generally focused on a single type of complication experienced by either pregnant or postpartum women. This study aims to analyze the types of neurological complications identified in medical records from a private hospital in Yogyakarta between 2022 and 2024. This research employs a descriptive observational study design with a retrospective approach using secondary data. The study population includes all pregnant and postpartum women who underwent examination or hospitalization at the private hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, due to neurological complications from 2022 to 2024. The sample was determined using a total sampling technique, comprising 30 women. The findings revealed that neurological complications among pregnant women included gestational hypertension, hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, dizziness, HELLP syndrome, transient ischemic attack (mild stroke), and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Meanwhile, neurological complications among postpartum women included headache, migraine, hypertension, and transient ischemic attack. The critical role of nurses in diagnostic and therapeutic management must also take into account the health and well-being of the newborn.
