Abstract

Reproductive health is a crucial aspect of improving the quality of life, especially for women of reproductive age. However, knowledge about reproductive health, including early detection of breast and cervical cancer, remains low in many communities. Limited access to reproductive health services, particularly in remote and economically disadvantaged areas, exacerbates this issue. This community service program aimed to enhance public awareness and provide direct health services through the Reproductive Health Service and Counseling under the theme "I Am Empowered Over My Body." This initiative included essential health screenings such as blood pressure measurement, BMI calculation, cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose level tests, along with reproductive health counseling and early detection services for breast and cervical cancer through SADARI (Breast Self-Examination) and IVA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) tests. The program was conducted on September 29, 2024, at STIK Sint Carolus Graduate Building, Jakarta, in collaboration with Ipas Indonesia, Jakarta Feminist, and Doctors Without Stigma. A total of 81 participants attended, with 38 undergoing basic health screenings, 9 receiving reproductive health counseling, and 34 participating in SADARI and IVA test. The results showed that 97.05% of IVA screening participants had normal results, while 2.74% tested positive and were referred for further examination. Awareness of breast cancer detection through SADARI was significantly improved, and all participants could repeat the procedure independently. Additionally, among participants in basic health screenings, 11.53% were identified with mild hypertension, 40.54% had high uric acid levels, and 77.78% had glucose levels exceeding the normal range, indicating a need for continuous health monitoring and intervention. This program successfully enhanced participants’ knowledge of reproductive health and increased access to essential screening services. Future initiatives should focus on sustaining these efforts through continuous education, destigmatization of reproductive health examinations, and strengthening community-based healthcare support.

Abstract

Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is a crucial step in early breastfeeding initiation, contributing to the success of exclusive breastfeeding and neonatal adaptation. However, its implementation still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze factors associated with the timely implementation of SSC within the first hour after birth. A retrospective observational design was employed using medical record data from a hospital in Jakarta between January and December 2022. A total of 56 mothers were selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test to examine the relationship between delivery method, maternal age, and education level with SSC implementation. The results showed significant associations between SSC and delivery method (p = 0.006), maternal age (p = 0.034), and education level (p = 0.008). Mothers who underwent cesarean section were more likely to receive SSC within the first hour compared to those with vaginal delivery. Additionally, mothers within the non-risk age category and those with a basic education level were more likely to implement SSC on time. In conclusion, SSC implementation is influenced by maternal and delivery-related factors, emphasizing the need for increased awareness among healthcare professionals to promote optimal SSC practices.

Abstract

Stunting remains a pressing global health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where early-life risk factors significantly influence growth trajectories. Among these, infant sex and birth weight are frequently examined as predictors of impaired linear growth. This study aimed to analyze the association between infant sex and birth weight with the incidence of stunting among children aged 6–59 months. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 127 children aged 6–59 months from “x” village at north sumatera. Stunting was defined according to the World Health Organization growth standards (height-for-age z-score < -2 SD). Independent variables included infant sex (male or female) and birth weight categorized as low birth weight (LBW < 2,500 g) or normal (2,500 – 4,000 g). Chi-square tests were used to assess associations, with statistical significance set at p < 0,05. The prevalence of stunting in the study population was 34,6%. Birth weight demonstrated a statistically significant association with stunting (p = 0,048). Among children with low birth weight, 66,7% were stunted compared to 22,3% among those with normal birth weight. In contrast, infant sex was not significantly associated with stunting (p = 0,094), although a higher proportion of male children (43,6%) were stunted compared to females (27,8%). Low birth weight is significantly associated with an increased risk of stunting in early childhood. Infant sex was not a statistically significant factor in this study. These findings highlight the critical need for antenatal interventions targeting maternal nutrition to prevent low birth weight and reduce the risk of stunting.
