Abstract

Preeclampsia remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia and globally. Early detection is essential to prevent further complications. The use of digital media such as WhatsApp Groups has the potential to serve as an effective educational platform for pregnant women, particularly in rural areas with limited access to health information. Objective: To determine the influence of educational media delivered via WhatsApp Group on pregnant women’s ability to perform early detection of preeclampsia in Pulau Tinggi Village. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 34 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria, selected through total sampling. Educational interventions were provided through a WhatsApp Group for four weeks. The ability to detect preeclampsia early was measured using a validated questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: There was a significant increase in early detection ability after the educational intervention. The mean pretest score was 55.8 ± 7.9, increasing to 83.4 ± 6.8 in the posttest (p < 0.001). Knowledge categories also improved, with the proportion of respondents in the high category rising from 5.9% to 82.4%. Most respondents were aged 20–35 years, had a senior high school education, were multigravida, and were in the second trimester. Conclusion: Health education delivered via WhatsApp Group is proven effective in improving pregnant women’s ability to perform early detection of preeclampsia. This medium offers an accessible, low-cost, and sustainable alternative for maternal health education in rural communities.

Abstract

Stunting is a child growth disorder characterized by a child's lack of height compared to children his age. Morbidity and mortality rates, decreased growth, learning achievement, increased risk of infectious and non-communicable diseases, and decreased productivity are all effects of stunting. This research aimed to find predisposing factors that contribute to stunting preventing behaviors. This research focused on the working area of Sidomulyo Inpatient Health Center. The research design was cross-sectional, with 95 mother subjects. The measurement used a questionnaire. Research results from bivariate analysis using chi square analysis showed that there was a correlation between age (p-value 0.022), occupation (p-value 0.024), education (p-value 0.000), and knowledge (p-value 0.015) with the level of stunting. It is recommended to the community and families who will have children under five that the mother's age, occupation, education and knowledge influence their behavior in preventing stunting. Health workers can provide counseling or education about predisposing factors related to stunting prevention behavior to their patients.
