Abstract

Weight gain during pregnancy is an important indicator that influences maternal and fetal health. Excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) has been associated with an increased risk of obstetric complications, including preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between excessive weight gain during pregnancy and the incidence of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women in the third trimester at Dr. H. Koesnadi Bondowoso General Hospital. This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 140 pregnant women selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were obtained through structured interviews, anthropometric measurements, and medical records, then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between excessive weight gain and the incidence of preeclampsia (p = 0.012) and gestational diabetes (p = 0.004). Women who exceeded the recommended weight gain limits were at a higher risk of developing these complications compared to those with normal weight gain. These findings emphasize the importance of controlling weight gain through routine monitoring and nutritional education during pregnancy. In conclusion, excessive weight gain is an important risk factor that needs attention in antenatal care services to prevent serious complications in pregnant women.

Abstract

Skin-to-skin contact is an essential early intervention that supports physiological stability in mothers and newborns during the immediate postnatal period. Although its benefits are well documented, consistent implementation in perinatal nursing practice remains limited. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early skin-to-skin contact interventions performed by nurses on the physiological stability of mothers and newborns at RSIA Mutiara Bunda Padang. Methods: A quantitative study with a quasi-experimental pre–post test design was conducted involving 20 mother–infant pairs who received skin-to-skin contact for 60 minutes after delivery. Maternal physiological parameters included heart rate and body temperature, while newborn parameters included body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The findings showed improved physiological stability following the intervention. Newborn body temperature increased significantly from 36.5°C to 37.2°C (p < 0.05), indicating better thermal regulation. Maternal heart rate decreased significantly from 95 bpm to 85 bpm (p < 0.05), reflecting improved physiological adaptation. Bivariate analysis confirmed a significant effect of early skin-to-skin contact on physiological stability in both mothers and newborns (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Early skin-to-skin contact interventions by nurses are effective in improving maternal and neonatal physiological stability and should be integrated as a standard practice in postnatal care.
