Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are newborns weighing less than 2,500 grams. Infants aged one month or younger, especially those with LBW, face high health risks that can be fatal without proper care. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a method of caring for low birth weight or premature infants through direct skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the baby, which has been proven to facilitate breastfeeding and improve infant outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the KMC method on weight gain among low birth weight infants at Dr. Soedarso Regional General Hospital, Pontianak, West Kalimantan. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach was used, involving 40 mothers as respondents. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed that KMC performed for four hours resulted in a mean weight gain difference of 471.5 grams, with a statistically significant effect (F = 10.476; p = 0.000). It can be concluded that the Kangaroo Mother Care method is effective in increasing the body weight of low birth weight infants, with the four-hour duration providing the most optimal results.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual pain condition that can interfere with women's daily activities and overall quality of life. Women of reproductive age frequently experience dysmenorrhea, which may cause them to take breaks from work, school, or routine tasks for several hours or even several days. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1,769,425 women (90%) experience dysmenorrhea, and 10%–15% of them report severe symptoms. These severe cases lead to functional limitations, with around 15% of adolescent girls reporting restricted activities due to dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to determine the effect of dysmenorrhea on the learning process of adolescent girls. The research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data were collected through direct observation using standardized observation sheets. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate procedures, and the Chi-Square test was used to assess the relationship between dysmenorrhea and learning-related outcomes. The results showed a significant association between dysmenorrhea and the learning process of adolescent girls (p = 0.001), indicating that dysmenorrhea adversely affects students’ ability to focus, participate, and perform optimally in the classroom at SMP Negeri 21 Pontianak.
