Abstract

The assistance of midwives in complementary feeding (MPASI) is an important effort to prevent nutritional problems and support optimal baby growth. However, there are still babies with weight gain that does not match the standards due to improper complementary feeding practices and limited assistance from health workers. This study aims to analyze the effect of midwifery assistance in the provision of complementary foods on weight growth of infants aged 6-24 months. This research employed a quasi-experimental design utilizing a pretest-posttest control group approach, conducted within the working area of Ambacang Health Center, Padang. A total of 40 mothers with infants aged 6-24 months were recruited through purposive sampling and subsequently allocated into intervention and control groups. Over a three-month period, the intervention group received midwife-led assistance related to complementary feeding practices, while the control group continued to receive standard routine care. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance threshold set at 0.05. The findings revealed that infants in the intervention group experienced an average weight gain of 0.83 kg (range: 0.6–1.2 kg), which was higher than the 0.47 kg (range: 0.3–0.7 kg) observed in the control group. The paired t-test further demonstrated a statistically significant increase in body weight within the intervention group following the mentoring period (p=0.001). It was therefore concluded that midwife assistance in complementary feeding provision has a positive effect on weight gain among infants aged 6-24 months. Continuous mentoring is an effective strategy in supporting infant growth and preventing nutritional problems.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries where low screening coverage contributes to high morbidity and mortality among women. This study aimed to analyze cervical cancer screening behavior among women of reproductive age based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in Padang City from January to February 2026. A total of 422 women of reproductive age were selected through simple random sampling. Cervical cancer screening was defined as having undergone at least one screening method, including Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA), Pap smear, or Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests. Only 39.8% of respondents had ever undergone screening (95% CI: 35.1–44.5%). Significant associations were found between screening behavior and perceived susceptibility (p=0.012), perceived benefits (p=0.001), perceived barriers (p<0.001), cues to action (p<0.001), and self-efficacy (p<0.001), while perceived severity was not significantly associated (p=0.087). Multivariable analysis showed that perceived barriers and self-efficacy remained independently associated with screening behavior. These findings suggest that reducing perceived barriers and strengthening self-efficacy may improve cervical cancer screening uptake among women.
