Abstract

Background: Maternal sociodemographic characteristics can be used to prevent preterm birth.Objective: To identify differences in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with spontaneous preterm birth among hospitals in East Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive study with comparative design in 134 mothers who experienced preterm birth at eight hospitals. Data were analyzed using Independent samples t-test.Result: Sixteen variables were significantly different in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with spontaneous preterm birth among eight hospitals, namely: gestational age (CI 95%:10.97-0.02, p <0.049), maternal age (CI 95%:0.46-11.03, p <0.035), smoking (CI 95%:9.98-19.01 p <0.001), Edinburgh Postnatal Distress Scale (EPDS) (CI 95%:6.90-17.09, p <0.001), the fetus mobile (CI 95%:2.41-11.58, p <0.006), the number of visits during pregnancy (CI 95%:5.63-14.36, p <0.001), history of premature (CI 95%:7.76-15.73, p <0.001), history of disease (CI 95%:9.02-18.97, p <0.001), history of abortion (CI 95%:9.34-18.65, p <0.000), height (CI 95%:9.66-18.83, p <0.001), BMI (CI 95%:0.75-11.74, p <0.029), Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (CI 95%:2.53-12.96, p <0.007), periodontal infection by (CI 95%:6.04-15.45, p <0.001), bleeding in young and old pregnancy (CI 95%:7.71-17.28, p <0.001), anemia status (CI 95%:2.30-10.19, p <0.004) and BV status (CI95%:9.05-20.45, p <0.001).Conclusion: There were significant disparities in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with preterm birth among hospitals. Our findings can be used as the basic data for future research in an effort to prevent premature birth disorders based on maternal sociodemographic characteristic.

Abstract

Background:Maternal sociodemographic characteristics play a crucial role in identifying preterm labor, enabling early intervention to prevent its occurrence and recurrence. Understanding these characteristics can support the development of preventive strategies and improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Objective:This study aims to determine whether there are significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics of mothers experiencing term and preterm labor across hospitals in Makassar City. Method:This study employed an observational analytical design involving 257 mothers who had undergone term and preterm labor in 17 hospitals. Data were collected using the Health Card for Preterm Pregnant Women (KASIHKU) instrument and analyzed through an independent samples t-test to compare means between the two groups. Results:Significant differences were observed in the sociodemographic characteristics between term and preterm labor groups across 11 variables, with five variables showing a p-value < 0.05: Body Mass Index (BMI) (CI95%: 0.44–0.66, p < 0.000), history of preterm labor (CI95%: 0.08–0.23, p < 0.000), presence of flour albus (CI95%: 0.32–0.54, p < 0.000), HIV/AIDS status (CI95%: 0.07–0.00, p < 0.039), and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score (CI95%: 0.02–0.18, p < 0.009). Conclusion:Maternal sociodemographic characteristics, specifically BMI, history of preterm labor, presence of flour albus, HIV/AIDS status, and EPDS score, show significant differences between term and preterm labor groups. These findings provide a foundation for future research and the development of targeted interventions to prevent preterm labor based on maternal sociodemographic factors.  Keywords:Preterm labor; Sociodemographic characteristics; Hospital

Abstract

Background: Grapefruit (Citrus maxima Merr.) peel is known to contain bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids, which exhibit potential antibacterial properties, particularly against acne-causing bacteria.Objective: This study aimed to formulate an anti-acne gel incorporating grapefruit peel extract, evaluate its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Propionibacterium acnes (PA), and determine the optimal extract concentration for inhibiting bacterial growth.Methods: A laboratory-based experimental study was conducted using the well diffusion (pitting) method to assess antibacterial activity. Gel formulations containing grapefruit peel extract at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% were tested against SA and PA.Results: The formulated gels demonstrated acceptable physical stability. The inhibition zones against SA were as follows: 5% (F1) = 10.2 mm, 10% (F2) = 11.2 mm, and 15% (F3) = 11.1 mm. Against PA, the inhibition zones were: F1 = 11.7 mm, F2 = 13.3 mm, and F3 = 11.7 mm. The 10% formulation (F2) exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains, falling within the "strong" inhibition category.Conclusion: Grapefruit peel extract can be successfully formulated into an anti-acne gel and demonstrates effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. Among the tested concentrations, 10% was identified as the most effective for bacterial inhibition. Keywords: grapefruit peel; citrus maxima; extract; antibacterial activity; anti-acne gel
