Abstract

Mental health issues during pregnancy affect 15–25% of women, leading to complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) offer a promising non-pharmacological approach to reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while enhancing maternal and infant well-being. Objective: This review evaluates the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy in improving pregnant women's mental health by reducing anxiety, stress, and depression. A literature review was conducted using PubMed (236), ScienceDirect (106), Google Scholar (965), and Garuda (231) databases . Studies published in the last ten years (2014-2024) on the effects of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) on maternal mental health were analyzed. From an initial 1,529 articles, only 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. MBIs, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), effectively reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. They improve emotional regulation, quality of life, and mother-infant bonding. Digital mindfulness interventions also show similar benefits. Mindfulness therapy significantly improves mental health during pregnancy, promoting maternal and infant well-being. Integrating MBIs into maternal healthcare services is recommended as an effective non-pharmacological approach.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, partly driven by low exclusive breastfeeding rates and limited family support. Digital Family Assistance & Mentoring (DFAM) was developed as a family-centered digital intervention to support exclusive breastfeeding as a stunting prevention strategy.This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of DFAM in improving knowledge, attitudes, exclusive breastfeeding practices, and family support among breastfeeding mothers. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design and was conducted in Dobo, Aru Islands. A total of 70 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0–6 months were selected using purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group (n=35) and a control group (n=35). The intervention group received DFAM, while the control group received standard breastfeeding education. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson correlation and reliability using Cronbach’s alpha, with all instruments meeting acceptable criteria. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test (p < 0.05). Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group for attitudes (p = 0.040), exclusive breastfeeding practices (p = 0.002), and family support (p = 0.024), while knowledge improvement was not statistically significant (p = 0.120). The control group also showed significant improvements (p = 0.001), but with lower behavioral impact. DFAM is effective in improving exclusive breastfeeding practices by strengthening maternal attitudes and family support, indicating its potential as a digital, family-based strategy for stunting prevention.
