Abstract

Infants with Congenital Hypothyroidism who are not diagnosed and treated early are at risk of intellectual disability and growth impairment. Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening coverage for newborns at the Bukoposo Community Health Center in Mesuji, Lampung, during December 2025 to January 2026, reached only 25.9%. This study aimed to determine the extent to which maternal knowledge influences the uptake of Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening for newborns in this working area. A quantitative analytical survey with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample consisted of 99 mothers with infants aged 15 days to one month, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that among mothers with low knowledge, the majority (90%) did not have their infants screened, while only 10% did (p-value = 0.000; OR = 11.65). The study concludes that there is a very strong and significant relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening uptake. Mothers with poor knowledge were far less likely to have their infants screened. These findings indicate a need for more extensive efforts to improve knowledge and provide education regarding newborn Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening to mothers in this area.

Abstract

Poor breast milk production is the main reason why mothers do not breastfeed early on, as they feel unable to meet their babies' needs and support adequate weight gain. One effective way to increase breast milk production is by caring for the breasts, maintaining hygiene, and performing oxytocin massage. This study aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage and breast care on the smooth flow of breast milk in postpartum mothers at the PP Hospital in Jakarta. The research method is descriptive analytical using an experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest design, in which measurements of the smooth flow of breast milk production are carried out using oxytocin massage and breast care. Data collection was conducted from December 2024 to April 2025 with a total sample size of 60 respondents using primary data and the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, as well as hypothesis analysis using the Mann-Whitney test. Research results: The Mann-Whitney statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.000 α 0.05. Conclusion: Oxytocin massage and breast care have an effect on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the Maternity Ward at PP Hospital Jakarta. Recommendation: It is hoped that PP Hospital Jakarta can expand the knowledge of health workers in an effort to increase mothers' understanding of the effect of oxytocin massage and breast care on breast milk production.
