Understanding the impact of health education on maternal knowledge is essential to improve health outcomes for young children and support effective parenting practices. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on the knowledge levels of mothers with toddlers. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of mothers with children under five years old (toddlers), with a sample of 33 participants selected through accidental sampling. The study was conducted in Wado, Sumedang Regency, from March 20 to April 20, 2024. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate the effect of health education on maternal knowledge. Result: The results of this study indicated an increase in the knowledge of mothers with toddlers, from a moderate category (48.5%) to a good category (90.9%). The P-value obtained was 0.000 (˂ 0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on stunting prevention on maternal knowledge. Conclusion: This study concludes that health education significantly enhances maternal knowledge about stunting prevention, with a shift from moderate to good understanding. These findings highlight the effectiveness of health education as a key intervention in improving maternal awareness.

Abstract

Introduction: Children with intellectual disabilities require more intensive and continuous caregiving, which often places significant psychological and emotional burdens on mothers, who typically serve as the primary caregivers. The demands associated with caregiving responsibilities—ranging from managing daily activities to addressing complex emotional and behavioral needs—can result in elevated levels of maternal stress. Prolonged exposure to such stress may adversely affect a mother's physical and psychological well-being, ultimately impacting her overall quality of life. One of the contributing factors that may alleviate this burden is the active involvement of fathers in caregiving tasks. Paternal involvement is believed to offer both emotional reassurance and practical support, which can significantly ease the caregiving load carried by mothers. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between paternal involvement in caregiving and maternal stress levels among families raising children with intellectual disabilities. Method: A correlational study design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The sample consisted of 49 mothers recruited using a total sampling technique. Instruments used in this research were developed by modifying the Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) to measure paternal involvement and adopting the Parental Stress Scale to assess maternal stress. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Result: Findings revealed that 33 mothers (67.3%) reported high paternal involvement, 11 (22.4%) moderate, and 5 (10.2%) low. Regarding maternal stress levels, 22 mothers (44.9%) experienced low stress, while 27 (55.1%) experienced moderate stress. No respondents reported high stress. Conclusion: Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between paternal involvement and reduced maternal stress levels (r = 0.088; p = 0.048). These results suggest that increased paternal engagement in caregiving contributes to lower maternal stress and better maternal well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are common among adolescent girls and often cause physical discomfort and psychological distress that interfere with academic performance and daily functioning. Within the context of adolescent-centered health promotion, psychoeducation has been increasingly recognized as a non-pharmacological strategy to improve menstrual health and emotional well-being. Objective: This study aims to systematically review and synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions in alleviating menstrual symptoms and improving psychological outcomes among adolescent girls. Specifically, it evaluates outcomes related to pain severity, premenstrual symptoms, emotional regulation, and illness perception. Method: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, JSTOR, SAGE Journals, and Springer Nature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2015 and 2025. Eligible studies included adolescent girls aged 10–19 years who received psychoeducational interventions for menstrual disorders. The interventions varied in structure, duration, and theoretical basis, including models such as Leventhal’s Self-Regulation Model, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodrama-based approaches. Study selection followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines.Methodological quality was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. Result: Five RCTs with a total of 395 participants met the inclusion criteria. The findings consistently demonstrated that psychoeducation significantly reduced menstrual pain severity and premenstrual symptoms while enhancing emotional regulation and illness perception. Most interventions were delivered in small-group formats across three to seven sessions, combining cognitive and behavioral components. Conclusion: Psychoeducation is an effective, feasible, and complementary intervention for managing menstrual disorders in adolescent girls. Integrating psychoeducational programs into school-based and primary healthcare settings can enhance adolescent reproductive health outcomes and promote holistic well-being through preventive and evidence-based approaches.
