Abstract

Background: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) within the first hour after birth is a critical intervention to improve exclusive breastfeeding rates and reduce neonatal mortality. However, its implementation in primary healthcare settings remains suboptimal, indicating a gap between policy and practice. Objective: This study aimed to describe the implementation of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding among newborns at Baregbeg Public Health Center. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted. The sample included 22 postpartum mothers (0–40 days) selected using total sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed through univariate analysis. Results: The findings showed that 72.7% of mothers implemented EIBF, while 27.3% did not, indicating that although the majority practiced EIBF, a considerable proportion still missed early breastfeeding initiation. Conclusion: The implementation of EIBF at Baregbeg Public Health Center is generally adequate but not yet optimal. Strengthening maternal education and enhancing health worker support are essential to improve EIBF coverage and ensure consistent practice.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common reproductive health problem among adolescents that negatively affects academic activities, social participation, and quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly used as alternative or complementary approaches for menstrual pain management. Objective: To critically review the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in managing dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Methods: This study employed a critical literature review with a systematic search approach guided by PRISMA principles across PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases from 2021–2025. Articles were selected using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed through narrative synthesis. Results: A total of 15 studies were included. Heat therapy, exercise, and yoga demonstrated the most consistent evidence in reducing dysmenorrhea pain, while relaxation, aromatherapy, music therapy, and herbal interventions provided additional benefits. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological interventions are effective in managing adolescent dysmenorrhea; however, standardized protocols and higher-quality studies remain necessary.
