Abstract

The phenomenon of postpartum baby blues is a mild mood disorder that is commonly experienced by mothers after childbirth, especially in mothers who undergo cesarean delivery. This condition occurs due to drastic hormonal changes, physical pain, a longer recovery process, as well as psychosocial factors such as low emotional support and feelings of loss of control during the labor process. This issue has not been widely integrated in the learning of reproductive biology in higher education, which tends to focus on physiological aspects. This study aims to review the scientific literature on the prevalence of post-caesarean baby blues and explore its potential as a learning issue in reproductive biology. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using content analysis of 16 relevant and published scientific articles in the period 2015–2025. The results of the study showed that post-caesarean mothers had a higher risk of experiencing baby blues compared to normal childbirth. In addition, the integration of this issue in reproductive biology learning has strategic value in fostering empathy, science literacy, and mental health awareness of students. This study recommends the application of project-based learning models and case studies as an effective approach to raise the issue of baby blues in the curriculum in higher education. Keywords: reproductive biology, baby blues, mental health, caesarean, higher education

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a significant global public health challenge, affecting over 148 million children worldwide and resulting in long-term impairments in cognitive development, immunity, and future productivity. Although nutrition-specific interventions have been extensively implemented, the influence of parenting behaviors on recovery among children with a history of stunting has not been comprehensively synthesized. This scoping review examines how responsive parenting, grounded in evidence-based practice, affects nutritional outcomes and developmental recovery in children with a history of stunting. Methods: The review adhered to PRISMA-ScR guidelines and employed the Population–Concept–Context (PCC) framework. A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2020 and 2025. Eligible articles, written in English or Indonesian, investigated responsive parenting, caregiving behaviors, or evidence-based parenting interventions related to nutritional outcomes. Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using narrative and thematic synthesis. Result: The results demonstrate that responsive parenting, characterized by sensitive, timely, and developmentally appropriate caregiving, is consistently associated with improved feeding practices, enhanced dietary adequacy, and superior indicators of child growth. Evidence-based parenting interventions that incorporate caregiver coaching, home-based monitoring, and parental empowerment are more effective than standard counseling approaches. Conclusion Furthermore, responsive caregiving contributed to better appetite regulation, reduced feeding difficulties, and increased psychosocial stimulation, collectively supporting catch-up growth in children affected by stunting. These findings underscore the need to integrate responsive parenting strategies into nutrition and stunting-reduction programs to enhance children's nutritional recovery and developmental outcomes
