Abstract

Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immunization is crucial for protecting adolescents, especially prospective brides, from tetanus infection. Adequate knowledge about TT immunization can increase participation in immunization programs and reduce maternal and infant mortality. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of pocket books in improving adolescents’ knowledge about TT immunization at Santo Benediktus Pahauman High School. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was used, involving 120 respondents selected through total sampling. Knowledge levels were measured using questionnaires before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, with the average score rising from 7.50 (range 3–14) before the intervention to 18.42 (range 15–20) after using the pocket book (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that pocket books are effective educational media for improving adolescents’ understanding of TT immunization. In conclusion, pocket books can be utilized as an effective tool in health education to promote immunization awareness among adolescents.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual pain condition that can interfere with women's daily activities and overall quality of life. Women of reproductive age frequently experience dysmenorrhea, which may cause them to take breaks from work, school, or routine tasks for several hours or even several days. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1,769,425 women (90%) experience dysmenorrhea, and 10%–15% of them report severe symptoms. These severe cases lead to functional limitations, with around 15% of adolescent girls reporting restricted activities due to dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to determine the effect of dysmenorrhea on the learning process of adolescent girls. The research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data were collected through direct observation using standardized observation sheets. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate procedures, and the Chi-Square test was used to assess the relationship between dysmenorrhea and learning-related outcomes. The results showed a significant association between dysmenorrhea and the learning process of adolescent girls (p = 0.001), indicating that dysmenorrhea adversely affects students’ ability to focus, participate, and perform optimally in the classroom at SMP Negeri 21 Pontianak.

Abstract

Baby massage is a form of comfortable communication between mothers and infants that provides health benefits, including supporting weight gain. A preliminary study showed that mothers’ awareness and practice of baby massage were still low, and the procedure was mostly performed by traditional healers. This study aimed to analyze the difference in mothers’ knowledge before and after receiving counseling on baby massage in the working area of the Perumnas II Pontianak Community Health Center. Using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design, this study involved 30 respondents selected through consecutive sampling, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge after counseling (p = 0.000). In conclusion, counseling on baby massage effectively improved maternal knowledge and is recommended as a health education strategy in community settings.

Abstract

The Measles–Rubella (MR) vaccine is a combined vaccine intended to prevent measles and rubella, two infectious diseases that can cause serious health complications in children and women of reproductive age. Despite the national MR immunization program, coverage remains suboptimal in several areas. Data from the Tuan Tuan Community Health Center, Benua Kayong District, in 2018 showed that during School Children Immunization Month (BIAS), only 281 out of 767 elementary school students received the MR vaccine, and five elementary schools refused MR immunization due to parental considerations. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with maternal compliance with MR immunization among elementary school students in the working area of the Tuan Tuan Community Health Center, Ketapang Regency. This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 106 parents of first-grade elementary school students in Tuan Tuan Village, Benua Kayong District, Ketapang Regency. Samples were selected using simple random sampling, with proportional sampling applied to each elementary school. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed statistically. The results showed that maternal age was significantly associated with MR immunization compliance, while maternal occupation, socioeconomic status, and maternal knowledge were not associated with compliance. Environmental support was found to have a significant relationship with maternal compliance with MR immunization. In conclusion, maternal age and environmental support were factors associated with maternal compliance with MR immunization among elementary school students in Tuan Tuan Village. Strengthening environmental support and targeted health education may improve MR immunization coverage in this area.
