Pre-eclampsia is a significant complication of pregnancy that poses severe risks to maternal and fetal health. This systematic review aimed to explore midwifery strategies for enhancing early detection and intervention to achieve optimal maternal health outcomes in cases of pre-eclampsia. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Springer Link, for articles published between 2010 and 2022. Thirteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. The findings revealed several important insights. Firstly, midwives' knowledge of the early signs and risk factors of pre-eclampsia was insufficient, indicating the need for improved education and training programs for midwives. Secondly, regular blood pressure monitoring and adherence to evidence-based guidelines were highlighted as crucial for early detection and appropriate management of pre-eclampsia.Moreover, the role of community health workers in increasing knowledge and promoting best practices related to pre-eclampsia was emphasized. The review also underscored the significance of enhanced education and awareness among pregnant women to recognize the early signs of pre-eclampsia and seek timely medical care. Overall, the study emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive midwifery strategies, including education, training, and collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, to improve early detection and intervention for pre-eclampsia. These efforts have the potential to significantly impact maternal health outcomes and reduce the burden of preeclampsia-related complications.... view less
