ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the experiences of pregnant women and midwives in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic so that in the future, the concept of comfort midwifery care can be developed as a strategy to reduce the psychological impact on pregnant women and midwives in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. Article searches were conducted using the same keywords in the Pubmed, CINAHL, SAGE, and Science Direct databases published from January 2020 to October 4, 2021. A total of 8 qualitative study articles were identified in this study. Eight articles were included in this literature review, and most of the articles discussed three themes, namely (1) psychological responses, (2) challenges faced, and (3) coping strategies. Pregnant women and midwives experienced negative psychological responses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenge faced by pregnant women was delaying antenatal check-up. In contrast, the challenges that midwives must face were personal protective equipment and the care system and organization changes. Coping strategies were carried out through stress management and seeking support. © 2023 Author(s).
