Abstract

Infant massage is a form of tactile stimulation that has been proven to provide physiological and psychological benefits, especially in supporting successful breastfeeding. This study aims to determine the effect of infant massage on the duration of breastfeeding in infants at Hutri Independent Midwife Practice and Nur Asmalindar Independent Midwife Practice. The research design used was a quasi-experiment with a Non-Equivalent Control Group approach. The sample consisted of 30 infants divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (infant massage) and the control group (without massage), each consisting of 15 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before the intervention, 43.3% of infants in the massage group had a short breastfeeding duration and none of them breastfed for a long duration. After the massage was given, 93.3% of infants increased to the long breastfeeding duration category. Conversely, in the group without massage, only 6.7% of infants breastfed for a long duration. The Wilcoxon test showed a p value = 0.000 in the massage group and p = 0.042 in the group without massage, which means there was a significant difference. These results suggest that infant massage can be an effective intervention in increasing infant breastfeeding duration.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country prone to flooding, which has wide-ranging impacts on public health, including in Subulussalam City, Aceh Province. This study aims to describe the impact of flooding on community health and the form of post-disaster health service responses in Sultan Daulat Subdistrict in 2025. The study uses a descriptive design with a case study approach based on data from community service activities carried out by lecturers and students of the Medica Bakti Persada Midwifery Academy. Data were obtained from official reports on the number of affected residents and displaced persons, observations of environmental conditions, and documentation of health services provided to 50 affected residents, with a primary focus on pregnant women, toddlers, and the elderly. The results show that the flood led to disrupted access to health services, declining environmental quality, and an increased risk of infectious diseases such as acute respiratory infections, skin diseases, and digestive disorders. Free health services in the form of medical check-ups and simple counseling on personal hygiene, clean water management, and prevention of infectious diseases received a positive response from the community. This activity also demonstrates the strategic role of higher education institutions as partners of local government and as field-based learning centers for students in disaster management. It is concluded that flooding in Sultan Daulat Subdistrict has the potential to cause serious health problems, thus requiring a rapid, well-planned, and sustainable health response, as well as strengthened collaboration between government, health facilities, and higher education institutions in disaster preparedness and management. Further research with more detailed clinical data recording is needed to support evidence-based policy formulation.
