Abstract

Worldwide, approximately three million infants die every year in their first month of life, and 22.3% of neonatal deaths can be prevented with Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF). Immediate breastfeeding initiation after birth is an integral part of safe delivery procedures and is widely recognized as a beneficial practice. Delayed breastfeeding initiation has been found to increase the risk of mortality among newborns. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between birth attendants and delivery methods with EIBF at Kasih Fatimah Maternity and Children’s Hospital. Method: A descriptive-analytic approach using a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 80 samples selected through consecutive sampling. Results: The study revealed that 77 respondents (96.3%) initiated breastfeeding within <1 hour, with 62.5% of patients assisted by midwives, and 62.5% giving birth via vaginal delivery. No significant relationship was found between birth attendants and delivery methods with EIBF (p>0.05). Conclusions: Although these results demonstrate a high level of EIBF practice and no significant association with EIBF, there is potential for improvement in the implementation of EIBF procedures in the hospital.

Abstract

Mental health in older adults is shaped by physical and social environments, life experiences, and aging-related challenges like declining capacity, reduced functionality, and psychological stress. The 2019 Global Health Estimates (GHE) reports mental disorders account for 10.6% of elderly disability, with 14% of those aged 60 and over affected, primarily by depression and anxiety. Objective: This study aims to examine the differences in mental health based on age and gender among the elderly in social shelters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the social shelter, in September-October 2023. A sample of 80 elderly individuals was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire with the DASS 21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales) instrument. Data analysis was performed using chi-square tests. Results: Most had normal mental health: depression (43.8%), anxiety (61.2%), and stress (76.2%). Gender correlated with anxiety (p<0.001) but not depression or stress, while age showed no significant relationships. Conclusion: Most elderly in the shelter had normal mental health, with gender linked to anxiety and age unrelated to depression, anxiety, or stress. These findings emphasize the importance of considering gender factors in efforts to improve mental health among the elderly.
