Abstract

Background: Efforts to reduce maternal mortality ratio can be done promotively, preventively, curatively, and rehabilitatively. One of the promotive efforts is to provide education during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester or before the estimated delivery. Childbirth preparation education is essential for pregnant women, husbands and families to improve knowledge and skills, one of which is the prevention and early detection of complications. The World Health Organization strongly recommends strengthening preparedness programs for childbirth and complications to increase utilization of quality care at delivery and to increase the use of health services for obstetric and newborn complications. Purpose: This study aims to identify the implementation of childbirth readiness education to prevent complications of childbirth in independent midwife practices in the DKI Jakarta area. Methods: Qualitative research design was used in this study with an explanatory descriptive design. Informants for this research were 15 midwives in the DKI Jakarta area. Selection of informants using purposive sampling technique. Analysis was done by means of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion verification. Results: The implementation of labor and childbirth readiness education to prevent labor complications was quite good. Education on physical, psychological, and financial preparation has been carried out adequately, but there were several aspects of education related to cultural preparation related to pregnancy and childbirth that was still not optimal. Conclusion: It is expected that midwives can maintain the education that has been given to pregnant women.  Midwives actively participate in monitoring and educating pregnant women so that they can carry out early detection of complications and appropriate treatment if emergencies occur.

Abstract

Stunting at an early age risk reducing educational achievement, decreasing cognitive abilities, and lowering income when the child reaches adulthood. In the working area of the Pondok Labu Community Health Center, three toddlers were identified with stunting, partly due to limited maternal knowledge regarding essential nutrition, particularly animal protein intake. This community service program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and feeding practices to support optimal toddler growth and development through education using the Piring Protein E-book.The activity was conducted for three months at Posyandu Jeruk 2 in the working area of Pondok Labu Community Health Center, South Jakarta, involving 35 mothers of toddlers using quota sampling. The methods included interactive counseling, distribution of the Piring Protein E-book through digital media, and self-monitoring. Measurements were carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments. The variables measured were mothers’ knowledge and attitudes using questionnaires, daily protein intake using a 24-hour food recall, and toddler nutritional status based on the height-for-age Z-score (HAZ). Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test.The results showed a significant increase (p < 0.001) in mothers’ knowledge and attitudes, with the average knowledge score rising from 55.2 to 88.9. Improvements were also observed in toddler nutritional status based on the HAZ score. Education using the Piring Protein E-book proved to be an effective intervention to improve maternal nutritional literacy and support optimal toddler growth and development.
