Abstract

Nutritional problems in toddlers, including stunting, wasting, and overweight, remain a primary global health concern. Stunting is closely linked to specific deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, influenced by factors such as maternal education, family income, maternal knowledge of nutrition, breastfeeding practices, complementary feeding age, micronutrient adequacy, infection history, and genetics. This community service program aimed to increase maternal knowledge of balanced nutrition to prevent toddler stunting. The activity was conducted on January 20, 2025, at the Posyandu in the Pattingalloang Community Health Center working area, involving 20 participants, supported by lecturers, students, midwives, and local health cadres. Educational interventions were delivered through lectures, discussions, and Q&A sessions. Pre-test results showed that 65% of participants had good knowledge and 35% had poor knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and stunting prevention. Post-test results showed improvement, with 80% demonstrating good knowledge and only 20% remaining in the poor category. The findings highlight that targeted nutrition education can significantly improve maternal understanding and awareness, possibly reducing stunting prevalence. Follow-up programs and home-based health services were also recommended to sustain knowledge and improve child health outcomes

Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, is a common psychological condition that may adversely affect the childbirth process and maternal well-being. Home care services provide a holistic and continuous approach that integrates education, emotional support, and family involvement, potentially reducing childbirth-related anxiety. However, evidence on the effectiveness of home care in primary health care settings remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of home care services on anxiety levels among third-trimester pregnant women facing childbirth. Research Methodology: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only control group design was conducted at Pattingaloang Primary Health Center from June to August 2025. A total of 40 third-trimester pregnant women were selected using accidental sampling and assigned to an intervention group (n = 20) receiving home care services and a control group (n = 20) receiving standard antenatal care. Anxiety levels were measured using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Independent Sample t-test. Results: Most pregnant women in the intervention group were not anxious (85.0%), while the majority in the control group experienced anxiety (75.0%). The mean anxiety score in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (17.90 ± 4.05 vs. 25.80 ± 5.12; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Home care services significantly reduce anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women facing childbirth. Integrating home care into routine antenatal services may enhance psychological preparedness and maternal well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Family planning is a key global public health strategy to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that millions of women of reproductive age worldwide still have unmet needs for modern contraception, contributing to preventable maternal deaths and adverse reproductive outcomes. Although long-acting reversible contraceptives such as subdermal implants are highly effective (failure rate <1%), their utilization remains lower than short-term methods in many low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. Understanding the determinants of implant use is essential to strengthening family planning programs at the primary health care level. Objective: To analyze factors associated with the use of subdermal contraceptives (Alat Kontrasepsi Bawah Kulit/AKBK) among women of reproductive age at Puskesmas Pattingalloang. Research Methodology: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 women of reproductive age, selected by simple random sampling, between December 2024 and January 2025. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression were performed using SPSS version 26. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: Good information exposure (AOR = 9.12; 95% CI: 1.78–46.76; p = 0.008), good husband’s support (AOR = 7.45; 95% CI: 1.56–35.58; p = 0.012), good knowledge (AOR = 6.74; 95% CI: 1.38–32.94; p = 0.019), and age 20–30 years (AOR = 5.21; 95% CI: 1.02–26.60; p = 0.047) were independently associated with AKBK use. Parity, education level, and duration of contraceptive use were not significantly associated. Conclusion: Cognitive and relational determinants play a central role in subdermal contraceptive uptake. Strengthening structured counseling, improving information dissemination, and implementing couple-centered family planning interventions are recommended to enhance long-acting contraceptive utilization and improve maternal health outcomes
