Abstract

Background: Unmarried pregnancy in Indonesia remains closely associated with gendered moral norms and social stigma, which may limit women’s access to equitable maternal health services. Digital platforms such as YouTube function as public arenas where these norms are reproduced, contested, and potentially influence informal policy environments. Purpose: This study aims to analyze digital public sentiment toward unmarried pregnant women and to examine its implications for gender-responsive and intersectional maternal health policy in Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using content analysis of publicly available YouTube comments posted between January 2024 and 2026. Comments from highly engaged videos discussing unmarried pregnancy were anonymized and categorized into negative, positive, and neutral sentiment groups. Descriptive statistics were used to present proportional distributions. Results: Negative sentiment dominated the discourse (47.25%), followed by positive sentiment (39.32%) and neutral sentiment (13.44%). Although moral judgment and stigma remain prominent, a substantial proportion of comments express empathy and support. Conclusions: Digital public sentiment reflects persistent gender stigma surrounding unmarried pregnancy, alongside emerging supportive narratives. Integrating intersectional and rights-based approaches aligned with WHO recommendations is essential to strengthen inclusive maternal health policy and ensure equitable access to care for all women, regardless of marital status.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Community habits can influence mothers' actions in providing MP-ASI before the baby is given MP-ASI. Apart from that, according to the mother, a crying baby shows that the baby is still hungry, so additional food must be given. This is one of the failures in providing exclusive breastfeeding to babies before they are more than 6 months old. Giving MP-ASI too early has short-term and long-term impacts. According to WHO, babies who receive complementary foods before the age of 6 months are 17 times more likely to experience diarrhea and 3 times more likely to develop upper respiratory tract infections (ARI) than babies who are exclusively breastfed and receive MP-ASI on time. The method used in this research is quantitative with a cross sectional design. The data used in this study is primary data obtained directly by distributing questionnaires to respondents. This research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Payung Sekaki Community Health Center, Pekanbaru City, Riau. The sample in this study was mothers who had babies aged 6-24 months with a total sample of 163 people. The aim of the research is to determine the influence of family support and cultural traditions on the accuracy of giving MP-ASI. The research results show that there is a relationship between family support and family traditions on the accuracy of providing MP-ASI with a P value <0.005. This shows that the provision of complementary foods is influenced by family support and cultural traditions.
