Abstract

Introduction: Baby Blues Syndrome is a common psychological condition experienced by postpartum mothers, characterized by mood swings, anxiety, and emotional instability. Without proper intervention, it may progress into postpartum depression. Family support is a crucial protective factor, and family-based education has been identified as an effective preventive strategy. Objective: This community service aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of family-based education in preventing Baby Blues Syndrome among postpartum mothers at Puskesmas Umanen, Atambua. Method: This activity was conducted in March 2026 using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design involving 40 postpartum mothers and their family members. The intervention consisted of structured family-based education, including psychoeducation, emotional support strategies, and coping mechanisms. Baby Blues symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Result: The results showed a significant decrease in Baby Blues symptoms after the intervention, with the mean EPDS score decreasing from 11.2 to 6.5 (p < 0.001). Approximately 85% of mothers demonstrated improved emotional stability, and family members showed increased knowledge and involvement in maternal care. Conclusion: Family-based education is effective in preventing Baby Blues Syndrome and improving maternal emotional well-being. This approach is recommended to be integrated into routine maternal healthcare services at primary healthcare centers.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural and border areas such as East Nusa Tenggara. Emerging evidence suggests that maternal psychological factors, including pregnancy stress and mental health disorders, play a critical role in child growth outcomes. However, the mediating role of maternal mental health in the relationship between antenatal stress and stunting remains underexplored in primary healthcare settings. Objective: To analyze the relationship between pregnancy stress and stunting incidence through maternal mental health as a mediating variable at Puskesmas Umanen, Atambua. Method: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach conducted in March 2026. A total of 210 respondents (pregnant women and mothers with children aged 0–24 months) were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated instruments: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and anthropometric measurements (height-for-age Z-score). Data were analyzed using mediation analysis with regression models (PROCESS Macro), with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Pregnancy stress was significantly associated with stunting incidence (p < 0.05). Maternal mental health (depression/anxiety) significantly mediated this relationship (indirect effect p < 0.01), indicating a partial mediation model. Higher levels of stress increased the risk of poor maternal mental health, which in turn significantly increased the likelihood of stunting. Conclusion: Maternal mental health plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between pregnancy stress and stunting. Integrating mental health screening into antenatal care services is essential to reduce stunting risk in primary healthcare settings.
