Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) are functional plants with an abundance of nutrients both macronutrients and micronutrients. The need for nutrition in postpartum and lactating mothers is more than the nutritional needs of mothers during pregnancy, during the first 6 months the mother needs an additional energy of 500 calories / day which is useful for producing adequate milk production for the baby. The use of Moringa leaves has been widely used by the community as an alternative menu that is beneficial for mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers. For postpartum and lactating mothers, Moringa leaves are very useful and contain phytosterol compounds that are lactagogum effects that can increase and launch milk production so that they can improve the baby's health status by increasing the baby's weight and can also prevent stunting in infants.

Abstract

Health development is a crucial component of national development aimed at improving the quality of human resources to become healthier, more intelligent, and more productive. One of the key indicators of successful health development is the reduction in infant and under-five mortality rates. Children under five years old are considered a vulnerable group due to their high risk of experiencing nutritional problems and diseases. Nutritional disorders in toddlers can increase susceptibility to infections, hinder growth and development, and reduce immune function and cognitive ability.  Underweight below the red line (BGM) is a condition of severe malnutrition resulting from inadequate intake of energy and protein over a relatively long period. In 2024, there were 11 recorded cases of BGM in Sumber Makmur Village. This study aims to identify factors associated with the incidence of BGM among toddlers. The study employed an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design, involving 72 toddlers selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews and observations and analyzed using the Chi-Square test.  The results showed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of BGM among toddlers (p=0.010), between nutritional knowledge and BGM (p=0.031), between husband’s income and BGM (p=0.018), and between the number of family members and BGM (p=0.001). Based on these findings, it is expected that mothers with toddlers experiencing BGM will improve their understanding of balanced nutrition, adopt regular feeding practices, and provide appropriate complementary foods according to the child’s age, and consistently apply these practices in daily life.

Abstract

and child health. The KIA book is useful in providing information and guidance for mothers and children. In addition, the KIA book plays a role in monitoring fetal development during pregnancy, so that more effective referrals can be obtained. ANC examination is an examination carried out during pregnancy to ensure the health of the mother and fetus. The aim is to detect early potential dangers that may occur to the mother and fetus and to improve the physical and mental health of pregnant women. The examination is processed periodically with a minimum of six times during pregnancy. The type of research uses a quantitative research design in the form of an observational analytical survey through a cross-sectional approach which aims to identify the Relationship between the Utilization of the KIA Book and Compliance with ANC Visits of Pregnant Women. The number of samples was 32 pregnant women in the third trimester who were determined by total sampling. The results prove that most respondents do not utilize the KIA book so that they are less compliant in making ANC visits. In addition, the p value of 0.011 means that there is a close relationship between the utilization of the KIA book and the compliance of pregnant women in attending ANC visits. It is necessary to increase the interest of pregnant women to always use the KIA book correctly so that they will routinely comply with attending ANC visits and can improve the health of mothers and babies.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health is a crucial aspect of improving the quality of future generations. One of the most common problems experienced by adolescent girls is dysmenorrhea, which can negatively affect learning activities, concentration, and overall quality of life. The utilization of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) may serve as an alternative approach to help manage this condition. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescent girls’ reproductive health literacy and improve their skills in processing red ginger into a herbal beverage that supports reproductive health. A participatory and educational workshop-based approach was implemented involving 30 eleventh-grade female students of SMA Swasta Nusantara Lubuk Pakam. The activities consisted of educational sessions, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice in preparing red ginger herbal drinks. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires, skill observation sheets, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results demonstrated that the average knowledge score increased from 56.25% before the intervention to 88.75% after the program, representing an improvement of 32.5%. The greatest increase was observed in participants’ understanding of the benefits of red ginger as a herbal therapy, with an increase of 37%. Observation results revealed that participants achieved a good level of practical skill in processing red ginger, with an average success rate of 88.5%, while the highest achievement was recorded in the product presentation aspect (92%). Furthermore, participant satisfaction reached 94%, with the perceived benefits of the program receiving the highest score (97%). The red ginger processing workshop was proven effective in improving knowledge, practical skills, and awareness of adolescent girls regarding reproductive health, as well as promoting the utilization of red ginger as a non-pharmacological alternative to help manage dysmenorrhea.
