Abstract

This study examines how an educational program combined with red betel extract salve application affects postpartum mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward perineal care, focusing on Grade 2 perineal lacerations. With 80 participants split evenly between intervention and control groups, those in the intervention group received education and salve application, leading to significantly improved knowledge and attitudes compared to the control group, which followed standard care protocols. Specifically, the mean knowledge score for the intervention group increased from 7.48 to 9.70 post-intervention, while the control group's knowledge score remained stable at 7.08 (p < 0.001). In terms of attitudes, the intervention group displayed a significantly more positive attitude, with a mean attitude score of 39.12 post-intervention, compared to the control group's score of 35.52 (p < 0.001). These results highlight the potential of educational interventions to substantially improve both knowledge and attitudes related to perineal care among postpartum mothers. These findings contribute to advancing postpartum care practices, benefiting the overall well- being of postpartum mothers during this pivotal stage of their maternal journey.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a significant contributor to neonatal complications, particularly neonatal asphyxia, which remains one of the leading causes of early neonatal mortality. This study aimed to determine the association between maternal preeclampsia and neonatal asphyxia and to examine the modifying effects of maternal age and parity. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a referral hospital in Lampung Province using secondary data from 96 laboring mothers and their newborns in 2024. Preeclampsia was identified based on clinical diagnosis, and neonatal asphyxia was defined by a 1-minute Apgar score below 7. Chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that 62.5% of mothers were diagnosed with preeclampsia, and 43.8% of newborns experienced neonatal asphyxia. A significant association was found between preeclampsia and neonatal asphyxia, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 3.14 (95% CI: 1.29–7.61; p = 0.011). Interaction analysis indicated that maternal age under 20 years (adjusted OR = 4.25; p = 0.039) and primiparity (adjusted OR = 3.78; p = 0.027) significantly increased the risk of neonatal asphyxia among mothers with preeclampsia. These findings highlight the compounded risks in younger and first-time mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This study underscores the importance of early detection of preeclampsia, tailored antenatal care, and close monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, particularly among adolescents and primiparous women, to prevent adverse neonatal outcomes such as asphyxia
