Abstract

Prenatal yoga is a modification of classical yoga practice in which the movements have been specifically adapted to the conditions and needs of pregnant women. It has potential benefits for overcoming sleep disturbances and is effective in reducing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms in pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety levels among pregnant women after participating in prenatal yoga. This study employed an analytical method with a correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. Purposive sampling was used to obtain 33 respondents. The intervention provided was prenatal yoga. The research instruments included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to measure sleep quality and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale to measure anxiety levels. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that 84.85% of pregnant women had good sleep quality. Most respondents experienced mild anxiety (39.39%), followed by moderate anxiety (27.27%) and severe anxiety (27.27%), while 6.06% experienced very severe anxiety. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient indicated that sleep quality was not significantly associated with anxiety levels (ρ = -0.023; p-value = 0.897). In conclusion, prenatal yoga may be associated with improved sleep quality and lower anxiety levels. However, no significant relationship was found between sleep quality and anxiety levels in this study.

Abstract

Background: Although the government has implemented various interventions, stunting remains a serious public health issue in Indonesia. This condition calls for a new understanding, particularly from the perspective of mothers with stunted children. Objective: This study aims to explore the mothers’ needs managing stunting under-two children in Surakarta City.Method: A qualitative was employed through focus group discussions (FGDs). A total of 20 informants aged 24–50 years were selected as participants. They resided in Surakarta City and were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of four nutritionists from health facilities and six health cadres, while the second group included ten mothers of stunted children. Data were analysed using Colaizzi’s method and managed with Nvivo software.Result: The study revealed five main themes related to mothers’ needs: (1) societal perceptions of stunting, (2) program availability, (3) barriers to program implementation, (4) expected prevention efforts, and (5) stunting management requirements. These findings indicate that mothers of stunted children require a deeper understanding of effective stunting management strategies and access to affordable nutritional resources to support their children’s physical growth and cognitive development.Conclusion: Social support from the community, easy access to information, and education on healthy eating patterns and stunting prevention are crucial aspects. Mothers with stunted children need adequate information on proper stunting management and access to affordable nutrition. Furthermore, community support and the availability of easily understandable information, including through audio-visual media, play a significant role in stunting prevention and management.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is a global recommendation that has been proven to provide optimal benefits for infant health and development. However, the coverage rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia has not yet met the national target. This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge and motivation on maternal breastfeeding behavior, both directly and indirectly, using a path analysis approach.This research employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 129 breastfeeding mothers within the working area of the Surakarta Health Office. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the AMOS program.The findings revealed that knowledge significantly influenced motivation (β = 0.873) and breastfeeding behavior (β = 0.765), while motivation also had a significant effect on behavior (β = 0.249). The total effect of knowledge on breastfeeding behavior was β = 0.983, including an indirect effect through motivation amounting to 0.218.These findings highlight that knowledge is the dominant factor in shaping breastfeeding behavior, with motivation acting as a partial mediator. Integrated educational and motivational interventions are therefore necessary to enhance the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
