Abstract

The 0–12 month period is a critical phase in infant development, covering motor, cognitive, and emotional domains. Early stimulation has been proven to prevent developmental delays that may affect later life stages. Complementary therapies such as infant massage and baby gym are widely applied as non-pharmacological, safe, low-cost interventions that can be practiced at home by parents. To systematically review the scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of complementary therapies in stimulating the development of infants aged 0–12 months. This literature study involved a review of articles published between 2018–2024 from PubMed and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria included experimental and quasi-experimental studies evaluating the effect of complementary therapies (infant massage, baby gym, or others) on infant development. Six relevant studies were identified, including four on baby gym and two on infant massage. All studies reported significant improvements in gross motor development following intervention. Infant massage also showed additional benefits such as increased weight gain and enhanced mother-infant bonding. Complementary therapies such as infant massage and baby gym are effective and practical strategies for stimulating infant development. However, further research with more robust experimental designs is needed to strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract

Infant growth and development are crucial issues that require serious attention, particularly during the early childhood phase, which is crucial for a child's future development. The golden age of infants is the most sensitive period to various forms of stimulation that influence their motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional development. However, not all parents, especially mothers, fully understand the importance of appropriate and safe stimulation in supporting infant growth and development. One form of stimulation that is relatively easy to perform, has no side effects, and can be applied independently at home is gentle touch therapy. Gentle Touch Therapy is a complementary therapy method that involves gentle, affectionate touch on the baby's body, aimed at stimulating the nervous system, strengthening the emotional bond between mother and child, and increasing comfort and relaxation in the baby. Several studies have shown that this gentle touch can improve sleep quality, accelerate weight gain, relieve stress, and encourage infant neuromotor and socio-emotional development. This community service activity was carried out as an effort to increase mothers' awareness and skills in providing stimulation through gentle touch. The activity was carried out at the Andina Independent Midwife Practice (PMB), Palembang City, in June 2025. The main target of this activity was mothers with babies aged 0–12 months. The implementation method included providing education through interactive lectures, demonstrations of touch therapy techniques by health professionals, and direct practice by mothers accompanied by facilitators. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in mothers' understanding of the importance of growth and development stimulation, especially through gentle touch therapy. The participants showed high enthusiasm in participating in the activity and were able to practice gentle touch techniques correctly and confidently.

Abstract

Ibu hamil yang menderita KEK dan anemia mempunyai risiko yang lebih besar untuk melahirkan bayi dengan BBLR, kematian saat persalinan, pendarahan. KEK ditandai oleh tanda gejala yaitu berat badan sebelum hamil < 40 kg dan LILA < 25,5 dan anemia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis ibu hamil dengan kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK), adapun rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional study, Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu hamil di Praktik Mandiri Bidan Ellna Palembang pada bulan Januari - Desember tahun 2022 Data yang dikumpulkan merupakan data sekunder yang diperoleh melalui observasi rekam medik pasien ibu hamil, kemudian dilakukan pengolahan data dengan analisa univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian variabel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian KEK yaitu variabel anemia hasil uji statistik dengan menggunakan chi square didapatkan nilai p value = 0,000 (p<α), dan variabel usia kehamilan didapatkan nilai p value= 0.003 (p<α), hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang bermakna pada variabel anemia dan usia kehamilan dengan kejadian kekurangan energi kronis. Sebaiknya bagi ibu hamil lebih rutin untuk memeriksakan kehamilannya ketempat pelayanan kesehatan agar petugas kesehatan dapat mengupayakan terwujudnya kondisi terbaik bagi ibu dan bayi yang dikandungnya.
