Abstract

Adolescents who face reproductive health issues without adequate support or understanding are likely to experience stress, anxiety and depression, which can affect their overall quality of life. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of interactive education in improving reproductive health knowledge of high school students at Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo and Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura Same Manufahi Timor-Leste. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach involving two groups of high school students, namely an experimental group from Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo Same that received interactive education and a control group from Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura Same that received traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various student variables before and after the educational intervention. The results showed that interactive education significantly improved students' reproductive health knowledge. In Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo, 48.6% of students had increased knowledge after the education, compared to 42.9% before the intervention. In contrast, in the control group (Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura), only 11.4% of students achieved adequate knowledge after traditional education, while 88.6% remained in the insufficient knowledge category. In addition, high motivation to learn, good understanding of the material, engagement in discussions and teacher support influenced the success of interactive education. Interactive education was found to be effective in improving reproductive health knowledge among students of Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo, compared to conventional teaching methods. Therefore, a more interactive educational approach that supports active student engagement is recommended to be implemented in reproductive health education programmes in schools.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life is the main recommendation of WHO to support optimal infant growth and maternal-child health. However, the success rate still varies, especially between urban and rural areas. One of the main factors influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding is the husband's support in the form of emotional, informational, and practical support. Research shows that mothers who receive active support from their husbands are more likely to succeed in exclusive breastfeeding. Social, economic, and cultural differences influence the pattern of this support across regions. In addition, factors such as education level, maternal employment status, and cultural norms contribute to the low prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in developing countries. Mothers who work in the formal sector face greater challenges in maintaining exclusive breastfeeding due to limited maternity leave and lactation facilities. Therefore, the involvement of husbands is not only important in supporting mothers at home, but also in policy advocacy at the workplace. This study aims to analyze the role of husbands in supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding and the differences in support between urban and rural areas. The results of the study are expected to be the basis for health policies and family-based education programs to increase the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Significant mental health issues in postpartum mothers have an impact on both mothers and child development. Limited access to services and social stigma hinder treatment. Mental health-based mobile applications have emerged as a potential alternative intervention. The objective of the research was to analyze the effectiveness of mobile applications in reducing postpartum depression symptoms and the factors contributing to their success. A systematic review following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines was conducted, searching PubMed, Wiley, ProQuest, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2020 and 2025. Ten quantitative and qualitative articles were analyzed. Apps using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and telecounseling approaches were effective in reducing postpartum depression symptoms. Success was influenced by user-friendly design, social support, cultural sensitivity, and integration with healthcare services. Barriers included low digital literacy, stigma, and privacy concerns. Mobile apps have the potential to be an effective and affordable solution. In Indonesia, development should prioritize scientific evidence, ease of use, and integration with primary healthcare services.
