Abstract

Stunting is a significant public health challenge affecting children's physical and cognitive development, with long-term consequences for human resource quality. This study aims to examine the influence of using a Whatsapp Group community on weight gain among stunted children in Lambaro Neujid Village, Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar Regency. An analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach was conducted, involving 40 families selected through random sampling. The findings reveal that factors such as parental education, family income, maternal height, and mothers' attitudes significantly impact children's weight gain. The use of communication technology, particularly Telegram groups, proved effective in delivering education and motivating behavioral changes among mothers in childcare and nutritional fulfillment. The integration of digital media in public health intervention programs offers an innovative solution to reduce stunting rates. This study recommends optimizing the role of community health workers and sustaining government support in leveraging technology for public education. In conclusion, technology-based approaches can increase awareness and community practices in reducing stunting prevalence, supporting the national target of lowering stunting rates to 14% by 2024.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnancy contributes to approximately 20% of maternal deaths globally. In Indonesia, anemia prevalence among pregnant women is 48.9%. National coverage of iron (Fe) supplementation (minimum 90 tablets) is 88.5%, yet in Aceh it is only 63.9%. At Sukamakmur Public Health Center, only 302 of 437 pregnant women (56.03%) receiving iron tablets were compliant, and 135 (25.05%) were diagnosed with anemia.Objective: To identify factors influencing compliance with iron tablet consumption among pregnant women in Sukamakmur, Aceh Besar District. Methods: This quantitative analytic descriptive study used a cross-sectional design involving 98 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, selected through total sampling. Compliance was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Knowledge, attitude, and family support were assessed using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed with the chi-square test at p<0.05. Results: Most respondents had poor knowledge (48.0%), negative attitudes (53.1%), low family support (54.1%), and low compliance (72.4%). Significant associations were found between compliance and knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.033), and family support (p=0.011). Conclusion: Compliance remains low despite adequate distribution. Improving maternal knowledge, fostering positive attitudes, and enhancing family particularly husband support are essential to increase adherence and reduce anemia-related risks in pregnancy.

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a critical obstetric emergency and a major contributor to maternal mortality. Understanding risk factors across demographic groups is essential for guiding clinical surveillance. This study aimed to analyze the association between demographic and clinical factors, including maternal hemoglobin level, age, parity, weight, neonatal birth weight, and clinical causes of PPH based on the 4T framework (Tone, Tissue, Trauma, Thrombin), and the incidence of PPH among postpartum women. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 postpartum women who delivered vaginally at a Midwife Independent Practice (PMB) in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, between February and September 2021. Total sampling was applied. Data were collected through direct observation and clinical records. PPH was defined as estimated blood loss ≥500 mL within two hours after delivery. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and odds ratio (OR) calculations. The prevalence of PPH in this sample was 42.5%. Perineal rupture was the most common clinical finding (77.5%), followed by retained placenta (12.5%) and uterine atony (10%). A significant association was found between clinical causes and the incidence of PPH (p = 0.001). Maternal anemia (Hb <12 g/dL) was significantly associated with PPH (p = 0.018; OR = 7.5), indicating a high-risk subgroup. Other demographic factors, age, parity, maternal weight, and neonatal birth weight were not significantly associated with PPH (p > 0.05). PPH was significantly associated with clinical causes, particularly uterine atony and retained placenta, as well as maternal anemia. These findings support the need for routine antenatal hemoglobin screening and strengthened postpartum monitoring in midwife-led clinical settings to improve early detection and response to bleeding risks.

Abstract

The group of women vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections. Efforts to prevent more serious external genitalia infections often involve daily genital hygiene habits. One of the efforts made is utilizing plants as traditional remedies, such as using boiled water from red betel leaves and Binahong leaves to cleanse external genitalia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using boiled water from red betel leaves (Piper Ornatum) compared to Binahong leaf decoction (Anredera cordifolia) on the healing level of infected external genital organs in female cockle seekers. The method used is a quasi-experimental study with randomization and pre-post test design. The population consists of 134 female cockle seekers, with 30 individuals in treatment group I and 30 individuals in treatment group II, based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney test. The results show a significant difference in the healing of external genital infections in female cockle seekers before and after the use of boiled water from red betel leaves, with p=0.000 (p<0.05), as well as a significant difference before and after the use of Binahong leaf decoction, with p=0.000 (p<0.05). The findings indicate that boiled water from red betel leaves is more effective in healing external genital infections compared to Binahong leaf decoction among female cockle seekers in Krueng Tibang, with an average infection healing score of 25.
