Abstract

Background: Adolescent reproductive health literacy is an important determinant of future maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, limited reproductive health knowledge among adolescents remains a major public health concern, particularly in areas with restricted access to reproductive health information. Digital-based preconception education offers a promising strategy to enhance adolescents’ reproductive health knowledge through accessible and engaging learning media. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital-based preconception education in improving reproductive health knowledge among adolescent girls. Methods: This study employed pre pre-experiment one-group pretest–posttest design involving 70 adolescent girls aged 15–19 years in Bangun Rejo Village. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria, including smartphone ownership and active social media use. The intervention consisted of structured digital-based preconception education delivered through educational videos for approximately 30–45 minutes. Data were collected using a validated reproductive health knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test at α < 0.05. Results: Before the intervention, most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (67.1%), whereas after the intervention, the majority demonstrated a good level of knowledge (90%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in reproductive health knowledge following the digital-based preconception education intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Digital-based preconception education is effective in improving reproductive health knowledge among adolescent girls and may serve as an accessible and practical strategy for strengthening adolescent reproductive health promotion.

Abstract

Child developmental disorders occur when genetic or environmental factors fail to meet a child's basic growth and development needs. Prompt detection and appropriate intervention can help improve the quality of a child's growth and development later in life. This study aimed to determine the effect of infant massage and baby spa treatments on weight gain in infants aged 3 to 9 months. This was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test-post-test with a control group design. The subjects consisted of 20 infants in the case group and 20 infants in the intervention group at Mahanum Clinic. The results showed that the average weight gain in infants aged 3-9 months in the intervention group was 740.48 grams, while the average weight gain in the control group was 206.48 grams. The results of the Paired Sample T-test showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that both baby spa and baby massage have an effect on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months. The results of the Independent T-test showed a p-value of 0.004 < 0.05, indicating that there is a significant difference between baby spa and baby massage on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months, with baby spa being superior to baby massage. It is recommended that midwives use baby spa as an appropriate health promotion strategy to increase infant weight.
