Abstract

Background: The incidence of primary dysmenorrhea is a condition experienced by almost all adolescent women and of childbearing age, negatively impacting their quality of life and productivity. Although pharmacological treatments such as NSAIDs are frequently used, many individuals seek non-pharmacological alternatives to avoid long-term side effects. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of complementary therapies, including acupressure, herbal medicine, and yoga, in managing primary dysmenorrhea. Method: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA approach, selecting relevant articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar based on specific keywords. Articles that met the inclusion criteria, such as publication range (2020-2025) and topic relevance, were further analyzed. Results: From a review of 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria, it was found that yoga can significantly reduce pain intensity by increasing relaxation and improving blood circulation in the pelvic area. Acupressure therapy, particularly on the SP6 point, has been proven effective in reducing menstrual pain by increasing the release of beta-endorphins. In addition, consumption of herbal medicines such as ginger has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce the production of prostaglandins, one of the main causes of menstrual pain. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological therapies—such as yoga, acupressure, and herbal remedies—are effective, safe, and affordable alternatives to pharmacological management. It is recommended that healthcare professionals, particularly midwives, provide education and facilitate the implementation of these complementary therapies as part of promotive and preventive efforts to address menstrual pain in adolescents and women of childbearing age.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is a global recommendation that has been proven to provide optimal benefits for infant health and development. However, the coverage rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia has not yet met the national target. This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge and motivation on maternal breastfeeding behavior, both directly and indirectly, using a path analysis approach.This research employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 129 breastfeeding mothers within the working area of the Surakarta Health Office. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the AMOS program.The findings revealed that knowledge significantly influenced motivation (β = 0.873) and breastfeeding behavior (β = 0.765), while motivation also had a significant effect on behavior (β = 0.249). The total effect of knowledge on breastfeeding behavior was β = 0.983, including an indirect effect through motivation amounting to 0.218.These findings highlight that knowledge is the dominant factor in shaping breastfeeding behavior, with motivation acting as a partial mediator. Integrated educational and motivational interventions are therefore necessary to enhance the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting, a condition where toddlers have a height significantly below the normal for their age, remains a serious issue in Indonesia, including the city of Surakarta. This has serious implications for a child's physical and cognitive development. Factors contributing to stunting are divided into direct factors (maternal nutrition, feeding practices, exclusive breastfeeding) and indirect factors (healthcare, education, environmental sanitation). Addressing stunting requires the involvement of healthcare professionals and community health volunteers. Effective training is crucial to enable kader to play a significant role in this effort.Method: This community engagement introduces the Siganting Program, a mobile application designed for stunting prevention. The program was presented to healthcare professionals and kader in Surakarta through lectures and discussions. Pre- and post-tests were used to assess participants' understanding of the program.Results: The Siganting Program successfully increased participants' understanding of stunting prevention. Before the program introduction, the average pre-test score was 76.4%, while the post-test showed 100% comprehension among participants.Conclusion: The Siganting Program is a valuable tool for stunting prevention and management, especially for mothers with infants under two years old. It can help Surakarta move closer to its goal of reducing stunting prevalence to zero. This mobile application provides accessible and flexible support for mothers and has been well-received by healthcare professionals and kader. The use of technology like Siganting can assist in achieving a significant reduction in stunting rates in Surakarta and its surrounding areas.
