Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is crucial for the health and development of babies, reducing the risk of diseases such as respiratory infections, diarrhea, malnutrition, and even death. This study aims to evaluate the impact of social and biological factors on the success of exclusive breastfeeding and weight gain in babies in Jakarta and Banten. Using an analytical observational design with a case-control approach, 60 babies were involved (30 exclusively breastfed, 30 not). Chi-square analysis revealed significant influences on exclusive breastfeeding success from family knowledge (p=0.020), breastfeeding beliefs/culture in Jakarta (p=0.009), maternal nutrition (p=0.000), breastfeeding patterns (p=0.018), family support (p=0.000), and baby weight gain (p=0.000). However, beliefs/culture in Lebak Banten (p=0.429) and West Java (p=0.605) had no significant effect. These results highlight the importance of family support, proper maternal nutrition, and effective breastfeeding practices for exclusive breastfeeding success. Exclusive breastfeeding ensures optimal nutrition, boosts immunity, supports cognitive development, and lowers the risk of infant mortality and health complications.

Abstract

Perineal wounds, if not properly treated, are at risk of infection, especially with poor hygiene, inappropriate care, or comorbidities like diabetes. Symptoms of infection include worsening pain, swelling, redness, and fluid or pus discharge, sometimes accompanied by fever or chills. This research aimed to examine the effects of natural remedies—white eggs, snakehead fish, binahong leaves, soaked betel leaves, VCO, pineapple juice, and honey—on accelerating perineal wound healing and reducing infection risk. Using a quasi-experimental quantitative approach with purposive sampling, the study found that these remedies significantly accelerated wound healing compared to a control group, as indicated by a p-value of 0.000 from Mann-Whitney tests. While some in the control group experienced infections, those treated with the natural remedies showed faster healing and fewer infections. The study suggests that using these natural treatments can effectively speed up perineal wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding rates are often low due to suboptimal breast milk production, which impedes infants' nutritional needs. This issue is frequently attributed to poor maternal nutrition, unbalanced diets, and irregular food consumption. Breast milk production relies on hormonal changes, notably the dominance of prolactin over progesterone and estrogen during childbirth. To address this, a study was conducted to evaluate the impact of specific foods boiled papaya leaves, almond milk, green beans, moringa leaves, ajwa dates, soy milk, and fennel leaves—on breast milk production. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 56 postpartum mothers whose milk production was substandard. These participants were selected in March 2023 using purposive non-probability sampling. A paired t-test was performed for bivariate analysis. Results indicated a significant improvement in milk production, with a p-value of 0.000, demonstrating that the consumption of these foods positively affects lactation. Consequently, it is recommended that breastfeeding mothers incorporate these foods into their diet to enhance milk production and support exclusive breastfeeding. Regular consumption of these specific foods can help meet infants' nutritional needs more effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kolb Learning method in preventing baby blues syndrome in postpartum mothers through a neurobiological approach. Baby blues syndrome is often caused by a sudden drop in hormones after giving birth, which can affect the new mother's neurobiological balance and mental health. Providing public education through the Kolb Learning method, which emphasizes experience-based learning and understanding of biological changes after childbirth, is expected to be able to prevent this disorder. This quasi-experimental research involved 120 postpartum mothers, divided into two groups: control and treatment in each BPM. The research results showed that the Kolb Learning method was significantly effective in preventing baby blues syndrome, with 100% of respondents in the treatment group not experiencing the syndrome. The simple t-test showed significant results with a p value = 0.000, strengthening the effectiveness of this intervention. These findings indicate that a neurobiological approach using the Kolb Learning method can be an effective intervention to prevent baby blues syndrome during the postpartum period. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be integrated into antenatal education programs to improve the psychological and biological well-being of mothers after giving birth.
