Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is breastfeeding only, without additional fluids and other foods for the first 6 months. Economic, cultural, and sociodemographic factors are thought to influence mothers to keep working even though their babies still need exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to describe cultural and sociodemographic factors related to exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Pegasing Health Center, Central Aceh. This research is an observational study. A total of 73 mothers participated in this study. The inclusion criteria are mothers who have children aged 0-5 years, domicile in the Pegasing Health Center work area, and are willing to participate in this study. Sociodemographic data and the level of knowledge of mothers regarding exclusive breastfeeding were measured using a structured interview and questionnaire. Cultural aspects related to exclusive breastfeeding were explored through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The majority of participants had senior high school education (57.5%), family income was below the Central Aceh regional minimum wage (95.89%), and mothers' knowledge regarding exclusive breastfeeding was considered good (50.7%). Meanwhile, mothers considered that family support in breastfeeding was good (50.7%). However, support from health workers was considered to be lacking regarding exclusive breastfeeding (38.4%). Based on the results of the interviews, there are habits making up and myths about dena which inhibit exclusive breastfeeding in infants in the Gayo area. In conclusion, family income and cultural factors have a role in exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Pegasing Health Center, Central Aceh.

Abstract

Providing appropriate complementary food for breast milk (MPASI) is a crucial factor in supporting optimal growth and development of babies and toddlers. However, lack of knowledge and correct practice of providing MPASI is still a problem in various communities, including in Lot Kala Village, Kebayakan District, Central Aceh Regency, Indonesia. This Community Service aims to provide assistance in strengthening MPASI education for the mother community in the village. This study uses a participatory community service approach. Mentoring activities include counseling regarding the principles of providing appropriate MPASI, demonstrations on making homemade MPASI, as well as regular monitoring and evaluation. Data was collected through interviews, observations and questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of this community service show an increase in mothers' knowledge regarding MPASI, an increase in mothers' skills in making homemade MPASI, as well as a change in the mother's attitude to become more positive towards giving homemade MPASI. Apart from that, there was an increase in the nutritional status of infants and toddlers after the intervention. Assistance in strengthening MPASI education has proven to be effective in increasing mothers' knowledge, skills and attitudes towards providing MPASI. This program is recommended for replication in other communities that have similar problems.

Abstract

Family planning (KB) is one of the Indonesian government's priority programs to control the rate of population growth. IUD (Intrauterine Device) is an effective and popular family planning method in Indonesia. Quality midwifery care is important to ensure successful IUD use and increase acceptor satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of midwifery care for family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional observational design involving family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. Data was collected through structured interviews and observations of midwifery care provided to acceptors. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of family planning acceptors with IUDs (80%) received effective midwifery care. Effective midwifery care includes: complete health screening, comprehensive education about IUD use, counseling about IUD side effects and complications, and regular monitoring of IUD use. Acceptors who received effective midwifery care had a higher level of satisfaction (90%) compared to acceptors who did not receive effective midwifery care (60%). Effective midwifery care has been proven to increase family planning acceptor satisfaction with the IUD. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of midwifery care at Health Centers to ensure successful use of IUDs and increase acceptor satisfaction.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant global health concern, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. However, adherence to iron supplementation programs is often suboptimal, leading to persistent anemia and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health behaviors (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) and adherence to iron supplementation among pregnant women in a primary care setting in Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Additionally, we explored the impact of these factors on anemia prevalence. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pegasing Community Health Center in Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Pregnant women diagnosed with anemia were recruited, and data were collected using questionnaires assessing their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding iron supplementation. Hemoglobin levels were measured to determine anemia status. Statistical analyses were performed to examine the relationships between health behaviors, adherence, and anemia prevalence. A total of 59 pregnant women with anemia participated in the study. Adherence to iron supplementation was suboptimal, with 59.3% reporting poor adherence. Knowledge about iron supplementation was generally good (76.3%), but attitudes and practices were less favorable (30.5% and 27.1%, respectively). Statistical analyses revealed a significant association between attitudes and practices related to iron supplementation and adherence. Furthermore, poor adherence was linked to a higher prevalence of anemia. In conclusion, healthy behaviors, particularly attitudes and practices, play a crucial role in iron supplementation adherence among pregnant women in Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Interventions targeting these behaviors are essential to improve adherence and reduce the burden of anemia in this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent engagement in risky sexual behavior remains a significant public health concern. While peer influence is widely studied, understanding the protective roles of intrinsic factors like self-driven motivation and proximal systems such as strong family bonds is crucial for comprehensive intervention strategies. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of self-driven motivation and family bonds on sexual decision-making among adolescents in Wih Pesam District, Bener Meriah Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 198 adolescents. Standardized questionnaires assessed self-driven motivation (including components of needs, drive, and goals), family bonds (overall family support and its dimensions: informational, appraisal, instrumental, emotional), and engagement in risky sexual behavior. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, bivariate chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Findings indicated that 45.5% of adolescents engaged in risky sexual behavior. A majority reported high overall self-driven motivation (46.5%) and high overall family support (49.5%). Bivariate analyses revealed significant associations between components of self-driven motivation, family support, and risky sexual behavior (all p < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that, after controlling for other factors, higher overall self-driven motivation (High vs. Low: OR=0.40, 95% CI [0.20–0.78], p=0.007) and higher overall family support (High vs. Low: OR=0.25, 95% CI [0.12–0.51], p<0.001) were significantly associated with reduced odds of engaging in risky sexual behavior. Family support emerged as a particularly strong protective factor. The overall multivariate model was significant (p < 0.001) and explained approximately 38% of the variance (Nagelkerke R-squared = 0.38). Conclusion: Both self-driven motivation and strong family bonds are significant protective factors against risky sexual behavior among adolescents in this Indonesian context, with family support showing a more dominant influence. These findings underscore the importance of interventions aimed at fostering adolescents' internal resilience and strengthening positive family environments to promote healthier sexual decision-making, thereby looking beyond peer influence as the sole determinant.
