Abstract

Background : Obesity is an imbalance between food intake and the amount of energy used during daily activities. RI Health Data for 2017 recorded 153,705 cases of death due to obesity found in the age group of adolescents and young adults. There is still a lack of optimizing the government's efforts in handling obesity cases so there is a need for new innovations that can help reduce the incidence of obesity, especially in young women. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acuyoga on body mass index and abdominal circumference of obese female adolescents Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a one group design pretest posttest research conducted during February-March 2023. The sampling method for this study was purposive sampling with a total sample of 30 people. Results: Obtained an average difference in body mass index before and after being given acuyoga of 0.01 (p=0.000) and abdominal circumference of 1.20 (p=0.000) Conclusion: Acuyoga is effective in reducing body mass index and abdominal circumference in obese female adolescents

Abstract

Background: Anxiety in breastfeeding mothers can inhibit the let-down reflex due to increased adrenaline and cortisol, leading to vasoconstriction in alveolar blood vessels. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as lactation yoga, may help alleviate this condition. Lactatio yoga is a gentle exercise that breastfeeding mothers can perform to relax the body while breastfeeding. Our objective is to assess the impact of lactation yoga on anxiety levels among breastfeeding mothers in the Kebong Public Health Center, Sintang Regency. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. Lactation yoga intervention was provided only to breastfeeding mothers aged 6 weeks to 6 months; the sample comprised 21 participants, selected through total sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Result: Post-intervention anxiety scores were significantly lower than pre-intervention scores (p= 0.001, p <0.005). Conclusion: Lactation yoga significantly reduces anxiety in breastfeeding mothers. Recommendation: Incorporating lactation yoga into maternal health programs may help decrease anxiety and promote the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies. Demographic and lifestyle factors play a crucial role in the development of hypertension during pregnancy, with evidence suggesting higher pregnancy-related mortality risks among women living in rural areas compared to urban settings. This study aimed to examine differences in risk factors for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy between pregnant women residing in urban and rural areas. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2025 at two community health centers, one in an urban area (Depok, West Java) and one in a rural area (Poso Regency). The study population comprised pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation. A total of 66 respondents were recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (maternal health section). Statistical analysis included the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normality and the Mann–Whitney test for group comparisons, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Ethical approval was obtained before data collection. Result: Of the 17 risk factors assessed, five showed significant differences between urban and rural respondents. These included parity (p = 0.021), history of chronic disease (p = 0.021), exposure to cigarette smoke (p = 0.001), physical activity (p = 0.008), and frequency of spicy food consumption (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Significant differences in maternal characteristics associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were observed between urban and rural populations. These findings highlight the need for context-specific maternal health interventions that consider local demographic and lifestyle factors to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes
