Introduction: The government has issued ‘the adaptation to new habits’ policy as there was a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and analyze the associated factors of anxiety among midwifery students.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among midwifery students who are living and studying in Central Java Province from October 1 to October 25, 2020 using convenience sampling. The number of participants who met the criteria in the study was 1135. The online self-reported questionnaire was developed, which comprised sociodemographic characteristics, health-related information, and anxiety using The Zung’s Self-rating Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analysis with p-value <0.05 as the cut-off point for significance.Results: The prevalence of anxiety comprised of mild (9.7%), moderate (1.4%), and severe (1%), respectively. Exposure to a suspected case (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.2, 4.6, p = 0.02) and age (OR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.5, 0.9, p = 0.04) were significantly associated with anxiety. Students who were having contact with suspected COVID-19 was a 2.8 times greater risk of having anxiety. Students aged < 20 years was a 1.53 times greater risk of anxiety than those aged ≥ 20 years.Conclusions: This study reveals that exposure to a suspected case and less than 20 years old were the risk factors of a higher anxiety levels among the midwifery students. Prevention and impact reduction intervention should be conducted.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding success plays a crucial role in optimizing child growth and development. Maternal knowledge, satisfaction, and self-efficacy are key influencing factors, all of which can be enhanced through support from health professionals in the form of guidance and counseling during the breastfeeding period. In Indonesia’s Midwifery Professional Education curriculum, one of the learning outcomes for students is providing care for breastfeeding mothers. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program on breastfeeding success. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-post design without a control group. The study involved 23 breastfeeding mothers in Padang City who participated in the One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program. Data collection employed three instruments: the Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBES) to measure satisfaction, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) to measure self-efficacy, and a breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire developed by Susiloretni et al. The study received ethical approval. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests with a 95% confidence interval. Results: The findings showed significant improvements across all variables. The mean knowledge score increased from 20.7391 (SD = 2.32022) before the intervention to 23.3043 (SD = 1.94082) after (p < 0.001). Maternal satisfaction improved from 62.4348 (SD = 9.42832) to 67.6522 (SD = 7.14530) (p = 0.049). Self-efficacy increased from 38.9565 (SD = 10.85641) to 45.6087 (SD = 8.02688) (p = 0.036). Conclusion: The One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program was found to be significantly effective in improving breastfeeding success by enhancing maternal knowledge, satisfaction, and self-efficacy. This program can bze integrated as part of the learning outcomes in postpartum and breastfeeding care within the Midwifery Professional Education curriculum and may serve as a strategy to support exclusive breastfeeding achievement. This finding highlights the potential of student-led breastfeeding support as an innovative model for maternal and child health promotion.
