Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical time for both the mother and newborn, where healthcare is essential to avoid the risk of mortality. This study aims to analyze the behavior of postpartum mothers and Acehnese families in postpartum care at the Beutong Health Center, Nagan Raya Regency in 2024. A quantitative research method with a descriptive design was used, and the sampling technique applied was total sampling, with a population of 40 postpartum mothers. Data collection was carried out through interviews using a questionnaire. The results showed that 77.8% of mothers and families were aware of the nutrition needed for postpartum mothers, 58.3% understood the process of uterine involution, and 100% of postpartum mothers knew daily activities to accelerate recovery. The family's supportive attitude towards postpartum care was evident in their dietary recommendations, such as providing vegetables (83.3%) and fish (80.5%), forbidding the mother from leaving the house (100%), and administering algae (88.9%). However, 30.6% of postpartum mothers did not consume vegetables regularly. These findings highlight the importance of improving family understanding and support in postpartum care to accelerate the recovery of mothers and babies. The implication of this research is expected to improve postpartum care programs at Beutong Health Center.

Abstract

Diarrhea remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among infants in Indonesia, especially in areas with limited access to clean water and sanitation. This community service activity aims to improve mothers' understanding of the signs and symptoms of diarrhea in children, raise mothers' awareness of maintaining their children's hygiene and health to prevent diarrhea, and provide practical training on the initial treatment of diarrhea. The methods used include interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations on making oral rehydration solution (ORS), handwashing practice, and distribution of leaflets. The participants consisted of 30 mothers of young children in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa Subdistrict. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test knowledge assessments. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge regarding the prevention and management of diarrhea. Participants were able to identify diarrhea symptoms, practice making ORS, and were more prepared to take their children to healthcare facilities if dehydration signs were present. This activity demonstrated that community-based health education is effective in enhancing mothers' knowledge and preparedness in preventing diarrhea.
