Abstract

Sleep disturbances in third trimester pregnant women are common and can be caused by factors such as increased fetal weight, shortness of breath, back pain, and fetal movements. These factors often disrupt the mother’s sleep, leading to inadequate rest. Lack of sleep during pregnancy can have significant consequences, affecting physiological aspects like activity levels, fatigue, body weakness, delayed recovery, instability in vital signs, and a weakened immune system. Furthermore, sleep disturbances may increase the risk of low birth weight babies and other complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women. The study utilized a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design to measure changes in sleep quality before and after the intervention. A quota sampling technique was used to select 20 participants, all of whom were in their third trimester of pregnancy. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire was employed to assess sleep quality as the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank test. The results showed a significant effect of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality, with the Wilcoxon test yielding a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates a significant improvement in sleep quality after the intervention. The findings suggest that lavender aromatherapy helps in enhancing sleep by calming and soothing the limbic system in the brain, which creates a sense of comfort, allowing pregnant women to sleep longer and more soundly. In conclusion, lavender aromatherapy is an effective intervention to improve sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women, as evidenced by the significant improvement in the study participants’ sleep quality after using the therapy.

Abstract

Complementary feeding is an important stage in infant growth and development. Lack of maternal knowledge regarding the appropriate timing and type of complementary feeding can have a negative impact on infant nutritional status, including the risk of malnutrition and stunting. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between breastfeeding mothers' knowledge and infants' complementary feeding practices. This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 25 mothers selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured mothers' knowledge level about complementary feeding and their feeding practices. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test using SPSS version 22, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of mothers were 20-35 years old (48%) and had primary education (68%). A total of 44% of mothers had a low level of knowledge about complementary feeding, and 55% of mothers gave complementary feeding before the baby was 6 months old. Spearman correlation analysis showed a weak association between mothers' knowledge level and complementary feeding practices (p = 0.078; r = 0.359). Although not statistically significant, the direction of the association suggests that the better the mothers' knowledge, the more likely they are to provide complementary foods as recommended. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of educational interventions to improve mothers' understanding of complementary feeding to reduce inappropriate feeding practices. Community-based education programs can be an effective strategy to increase maternal awareness and ensure appropriate complementary feeding for infants.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Risk factors such as parity, age, and level of knowledge of pregnant women can contribute to the incidence of hypertension, including Severe Pre-Eclampsia (PEB). This study aims to analyze the relationship between parity and the incidence of PEB in pregnant women. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 20 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed with the Shapiro-Wilk test for data normality and the Spearman test to measure the relationship between variables. The results showed that all respondents were in the age range of 20-35 years, with a balanced distribution of parity between primigravida and multigravida. The average blood pressure before the intervention was 162.75 mmHg, indicating hypertension, while after the intervention it decreased to 114.55 mmHg. In addition, there was a significant increase in knowledge level after the intervention (p=0.000). Analysis showed that parity had a correlation with the incidence of PEB, where primigravida had a higher tendency to develop hypertension than multigravida. Demographic factors such as education level and occupation also play a role in increasing pregnant women's knowledge and awareness of the risk of PEB. The conclusion of this study is that educational interventions are effective in increasing the knowledge of pregnant women and contributing to lower blood pressure. In addition, parity can be a risk factor in the incidence of PEB so prevention efforts are needed through education and regular pregnancy monitoring.

Abstract

Posyandu is a community-based health program managed by and for the community, aiming to strengthen local health systems and facilitate access to essential health services. The temporary disruption of Posyandu services during the COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and toddlers, highlighting the importance of resilient volunteer performance post-pandemic. This study aims to examine the correlation between post-pandemic competence and the implementation of the five main activities by Posyandu volunteers in Malang, Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative correlational research design, the study involved a total sample of 123 Posyandu volunteers from two villages in Malang. Data collection was conducted over July to August 2023. The findings indicate a statistically significant but weak positive correlation between volunteer knowledge and motivation, with a p-value of 0.007 and a correlation coefficient of 0.242. This suggests that while increased knowledge is associated with higher motivation levels, the strength of this relationship is limited. Further analysis assessed the relationship between length of service and volunteer motivation, revealing no significant correlation (p = 0.675, r = -0.038). These results imply that the duration of volunteer service does not influence motivational levels among Posyandu volunteers. Given these findings, enhancing volunteers’ knowledge through regular training and refresher programs is essential to maintain motivation and improve service delivery. The study recommends continuous capacity-building efforts to empower Posyandu volunteers, thereby ensuring effective implementation of health activities post-pandemic. Future research should investigate additional factors that may affect volunteer motivation, such as social support, recognition, and workload. Understanding these dimensions can further strengthen Posyandu programs and support the vulnerable community members they serve.

Abstract

Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are one of the important efforts in early detection of high risk in pregnant women. However, there are still many pregnant women who do not routinely make ANC visits, which can be risky for the health of the mother and baby. This study aims to analyze the relationship between ANC visits and early detection of high risk in pregnant women at the Wori Health Center. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the frequency of ANC visits and early detection of high risk in pregnant women. This study used a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 16 pregnant women respondents registered at the Wori Health Center. Data were collected through interviews and medical record examinations to determine the frequency of ANC visits and the status of early detection of high risk. The statistical test used was the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the chi-square analysis showed a p-value of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05, which means there is a significant relationship between ANC visits and early detection of high risk in pregnant women at the Wori Health Center. Routine ANC visits have a significant influence on early detection of high risk in pregnant women. Pregnant women who routinely make ANC visits tend to be detected as having high risk sooner, so that appropriate preventive and treatment measures can be taken. It is recommended for the Wori Health Center to increase education regarding the importance of ANC visits for pregnant women, as well as provide adequate facilities to facilitate access for pregnant women in making ANC visits.

Abstract

This study presents a cross-national analysis of adolescent mental health and academic stress to explore their interrelations and broader implications for global educational policies. Using data from Bangladesh, Gambia, and Indonesia, the research examines how academic expectations, pressure to perform, and school environments affect students' psychological well-being in diverse cultural, educational, and socioeconomic contexts. The study identifies significant patterns and disparities in mental health outcomes, revealing that stress levels and psychological challenges vary significantly between countries. In Bangladesh, medical students face a critical mental health burden, with high levels of anxiety, stress, digital addiction, and sleep deprivation being common issues. This situation underscores the pressing need for mental health interventions in the education sector, particularly within high-pressure fields such as medical studies. Conversely, in Gambia, there has been a notable increase in inpatient mental health admissions, suggesting a growing awareness of mental health issues and improved access to institutional care. However, the decline in community-based mental health services presents a critical challenge, as these services are essential for sustainable mental health support outside of hospital settings. In Indonesia, while academic stress is prevalent, the focus has been on improving institutional care and psychological support for students, yet there remains a gap in addressing stressors within the school environment. This study emphasizes the urgent need for inclusive, student-centered educational reforms that prioritize mental health support systems and advocate for the integration of mental health services into educational settings. The findings suggest that global educational policies must consider these country-specific challenges and trends in order to create more balanced academic environments that foster both mental well-being and academic success

Abstract

Weight gain in contraceptive implant acceptors can have various negative health impacts, including degenerative diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and a reduced ability to carry out daily activities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the duration of contraceptive implant use and weight gain among women of reproductive age. A quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was applied. The study population consisted of all contraceptive implant acceptors registered at the health facility, totaling 74 respondents. The sampling technique used was random sampling to ensure representativeness. The independent variable in this research was the duration of contraceptive implant use, while the dependent variable was weight change. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results revealed a statistically significant relationship between the duration of contraceptive implant use and weight gain among respondents. Specifically, the longer the duration of implant use, the higher the likelihood of experiencing weight gain. This finding supports existing evidence that hormonal contraceptive implants may cause side effects, including increased body weight. If not properly managed, such weight gain can lead to overweight or obesity, conditions that substantially raise the risk of developing metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, as well as cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and coronary heart disease. Based on these results, it is recommended that contraceptive implant users undergo regular weight monitoring to identify changes early. Additionally, health education programs emphasizing balanced nutrition and adequate physical activity should be implemented for women using hormonal contraceptives. Health care providers are encouraged to deliver comprehensive counseling prior to implant insertion, ensuring that potential side effects and preventive measures are clearly explained. Such proactive steps will help women make informed decisions and maintain optimal health while using contraceptive implants.

Abstract

Menstrual pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is one of the most common reproductive health problems experienced by adolescent girls. This condition often recurs every month and can interfere with school attendance, concentration, and participation in daily activities. Many individuals choose pharmacological treatments such as analgesics to relieve symptoms. However, excessive use of pain relievers can lead to side effects, prompting interest in non-pharmacological approaches. One such approach is the consumption of pineapple juice, which contains beneficial compounds such as pectin, vitamin C, and the enzyme bromelain. Bromelain has anti-inflammatory properties, aids in muscle relaxation, and improves blood circulation, potentially reducing uterine muscle contractions that cause pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of pineapple juice consumption on reducing menstrual pain among adolescent girls. The research design used was pre-experimental with a pretest–posttest approach. The population included 121 adolescent girls who experienced menstrual pain, and the sample was obtained through accidental sampling. Pain quality was evaluated using observation sheets, while pain intensity was measured with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), which has a validity coefficient of r = 0.90 and reliability above 0.95. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents reported a pain intensity score of 6 (46.7%), with a mean score of 5.86. Following the administration of pineapple juice, pain intensity predominantly decreased to a score of 4 (86.6%), with a mean score of 3.06. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention pain levels. In conclusion, pineapple juice is effective in significantly reducing menstrual pain in adolescent girls. This finding supports its potential as a simple, affordable, and natural alternative to pharmacological treatments. Further research with a control group and larger sample size is recommended to strengthen the evidence.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2015 the global maternal mortality rate (MMR) reached 303,000 deaths. In Indonesia, the MMR for the same year was 305 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, significantly higher than the national target of 75 per 100,000 live births. The top five causes of maternal death in Indonesia include hemorrhage (30.3%), hypertension in pregnancy (27.1%), infection (7.3%), prolonged labor (1.8%), and abortion (1.6%). One complication that can contribute to maternal morbidity and mortality is placental retention, a condition in which the placenta fails to be delivered within 30 minutes after childbirth. In 2016, 51 cases of placental retention were reported in the study area, raising concerns about its prevalence and contributing factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal age and the incidence of placental retention. An analytic survey method was applied using secondary data, with a total population of 398 mothers and a sample of 80 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis employed chi-square testing. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were not in the at-risk age group (61 respondents or 76.2%), and most did not experience placental retention (64 respondents or 80%). However, statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between maternal age and placental retention, with a p-value of 0.001, indicating that age is a contributing factor. In conclusion, maternal age plays a significant role in the occurrence of placental retention, emphasizing the importance of adequate maternal health education, early antenatal care, and close monitoring during delivery, especially for those in high-risk age categories. Targeted interventions to address age-related risks may help reduce maternal complications and contribute to lowering the maternal mortality rate.
