Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is the best feeding method for infants. The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the Upt Puskesmas Bontonompo 1 work area remains below target due to insufficient milk production. Lactagogum, a substance found in papaya, is known to enhance breast milk production. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between papaya fruit consumption during pregnancy and smooth breastfeeding in postpartum mothers in the Upt Puskesmas Bontonompo 1 work area. Research Method: This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 48 respondents selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria in the work area of UPT Puskesmas Bontonompo 1, Gowa Regency. Data analysis was conducted using bivariate analysis with the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The Mann-Whitney test results showed a p value 0.000 < 0,05, indicating a significant relationship between papaya fruit consumption during pregnancy and smooth breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between papaya fruit consumption during pregnancy and smooth breastfeeding in postpartum mothers in the Upt Puskesmas Bontonompo 1 work area.

Abstract

  Background: One of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia in 2022 was postpartum hemorrhage, accounting for 741 cases. In addition to causing death, postpartum hemorrhage can lead to complications that affect the health of both the mother and baby in subsequent pregnancies and deliveries. Postpartum hemorrhage is a national-level issue and can be caused by several risk factors such as age, parity, and anemia. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Research Method: This study employed a retrospective analytical method with a Case-Control Study approach, involving 71 postpartum mothers who experienced hemorrhage as cases and 71 postpartum mothers who did not experience hemorrhage as controls at RSUD Lamaddukkelleng Wajo from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Samples were selected using simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The Chi-Square statistical test results showed p-values for age (0.002 < 0.05), parity (0.001 < 0.05), and anemia (0.002 < 0.05). These results indicate a significant relationship between age, parity, and anemia with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Conclusion: To reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) due to postpartum hemorrhage, it is crucial for healthcare providers to improve the quality of care, especially for expectant mothers. By adopting a more comprehensive and preventive approach, we can identify and address risk factors early on, thereby reducing the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage and ensuring maternal safety. This effort will not only enhance overall maternal health but also strengthen the healthcare system's ability to effectively manage critical cases.

Abstract

Background: Wrongone of the most common Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a growing public health concern, influenced by genetic and environmental factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. The prevalence of DM at Kapasa Health Center has risen significantly, from 103 cases in 2021 to 351 cases in 2024. Understanding the relationship between BMI, genetic predisposition, and blood glucose levels is crucial for better management strategies.Objective: This study aims to analyze the correlation between BMI and genetic predisposition with blood glucose levels in DM patients at Kapasa Health Center, Makassar.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 40 DM patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured observation sheets and blood glucose measurements. BMI was classified based on WHO standards. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between BMI and blood glucose levels, while Chi-Square tests were applied to determine the association between genetic predisposition and blood glucose levels.Results: The results revealed a significant positive correlation between BMI and blood glucose levels (r = 0.67, p = 0.002), indicating that individuals with higher BMI had elevated blood glucose levels. However, the Chi-Square test (p = 0.742) showed no significant association between genetic predisposition and blood glucose levels. This suggests that while genetic factors contribute to diabetes susceptibility, BMI plays a more substantial role in glycemic control.Conclusion: BMI is significantly associated with blood glucose levels, emphasizing the importance of weight management in diabetes prevention and control. Genetic predisposition alone does not directly influence blood glucose regulation. Public health interventions should focus on obesity prevention and lifestyle modifications to reduce diabetes prevalence.
