Abstract

The use of WhatsApp (WA) in the health sector is increasingly widespread for communication, education, and intervention. Yet, systematic and updated bibliometric analyses of global trends remain limited, particularly those covering post-2023 developments and comparing contributions between high-income and developing countries. This study aims to systematically map and analyze the international landscape of WA-based health research published between 2015 and 2025. We employed a bibliometric research design with data sourced from the Scopus database, using the keywords "WhatsApp" AND "health". A total of 50 relevant articles were analyzed using descriptive statistics and VOSviewer software to visualize networks. The findings indicate that the use of WA as a health communication tool is firmly established. Publication trends indicate growth, with the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a significant catalyst that has driven the exploration of WA for remote healthcare services. The five most productive countries are India, Saudi Arabia (with five articles each), Brazil, Malaysia, and Indonesia (with four articles each). The most influential themes centered on the benefits of WA in clinical practice and the enhancement of supervision for community health workers. In conclusion, WA is proven to be a vital health communication tool, and the future direction of research is expected to increasingly focus on establishing its effectiveness, testing service models, and its broader, more systematic integration into the digital health ecosystem.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue that begins early in life and is stronglyassociated with inadequate maternal care, nutrition, and infant feeding practices.Pregnant adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to limited knowledge andreadiness for childbirth and breastfeeding, which are crucial for preventing stuntedgrowth in infants. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectivenessof a Mobile WebApp–based intervention in increasing knowledge related to childbirthreadiness and breastfeeding as part of stunting prevention among pregnant adolescentsin Narmada Subdistrict, West Lombok Regency, Indonesia. A total of 60 pregnantadolescents who met the inclusion criteria (aged 15–19 years, first pregnancy, andable to use smartphones) were selected using purposive sampling. The instrument, a25-item questionnaire, was developed based on the Health Belief Model (HBM),covering aspects of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and cues to actionrelated to maternal and infant health. The instrument underwent expert validity testingby three midwifery and maternal health specialists and achieved a validity coefficientof r = 0.78 and a Cronbach’s alpha reliability value of 0.86, indicating goodconsistency. The one-month Mobile WebApp intervention provided educationalmodules on breast care, signs of labor, early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF),breastfeeding techniques, and exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age. Datawere analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significantimprovement in maternal knowledge after the intervention (p < 0.05). These findingsdemonstrate that the Mobile WebApp effectively enhances pregnant adolescents’readiness for childbirth and breastfeeding, thereby supporting efforts to preventstunting. Integrating mobile health applications into maternal education can strengthenadolescent mothers’ capacity to promote optimal maternal and child health outcomes.

Abstract

Premature rupture of membranes is a serious pregnancy complication that can lead to infection, preterm delivery, and increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. Primigravida women lack sufficient knowledge to identify early warning signs and understand proper prevention and management strategies. This study aims to determine the effect of health education using animated video media on the knowledge level of primigravida mothers regarding premature rupture of membranes at Lenek Public Health Center. The research design employed experimental one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 42 primigravida women were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out through a structured questionnaire given before and after the educational video intervention. The video included information about the definition, causes, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of premature rupture of membranes. The results showed a significant improvement in participants knowledge levels following the intervention. Prior to the education, most respondents had a low level of knowledge, whereas post-intervention data indicated that the majority had good knowledge. Statistical analysis used the Chi-Square test produced a p-value of 0.000, confirming a statistically significant relationship between the animated video intervention and improved maternal knowledge. The findings demonstrated that animated video media was an effective and engaging method for delivering health education to pregnant women, especially for topics involving complications such as premature rupture of membranes. It stimulated visual and auditory learning, enhances comprehension, and promotes better retention of information. Therefore, the used of animated educational videos was recommended as part of routine antenatal care to improve maternal awareness and preparedness.
