Abstract

The phenomenon of postpartum baby blues is a mild mood disorder that is commonly experienced by mothers after childbirth, especially in mothers who undergo cesarean delivery. This condition occurs due to drastic hormonal changes, physical pain, a longer recovery process, as well as psychosocial factors such as low emotional support and feelings of loss of control during the labor process. This issue has not been widely integrated in the learning of reproductive biology in higher education, which tends to focus on physiological aspects. This study aims to review the scientific literature on the prevalence of post-caesarean baby blues and explore its potential as a learning issue in reproductive biology. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using content analysis of 16 relevant and published scientific articles in the period 2015–2025. The results of the study showed that post-caesarean mothers had a higher risk of experiencing baby blues compared to normal childbirth. In addition, the integration of this issue in reproductive biology learning has strategic value in fostering empathy, science literacy, and mental health awareness of students. This study recommends the application of project-based learning models and case studies as an effective approach to raise the issue of baby blues in the curriculum in higher education. Keywords: reproductive biology, baby blues, mental health, caesarean, higher education

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to evaluate the level of midwifery students’ mastery of human anatomy and physiology concepts as part of the core curriculum in health education. Anatomy and physiology serve as fundamental pillars in midwifery practice, as they are directly related to understanding the processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach through a survey involving 50 second- and fourth-semester students. The results showed that second-semester students had a higher level of mastery (77.75%) compared to fourth-semester students (68%). Furthermore, male students demonstrated a higher level of understanding (81.25%) than female students (74.52%). These differences may be influenced by learning styles, motivation, and academic experience. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including mean and percentage calculations, to compare levels of conceptual understanding across student groups. The findings provide important implications for developing more adaptive learning strategies in anatomy and physiology courses within midwifery programs.Keywords: anatomy, concept mastery, human physiology, midwifery, students

Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) is the primary and most ideal source of nutrition for newborns. However, challenges in breastfeeding such as low milk production and limited knowledge among postpartum mothers about oxytocin massage pose significant concerns. This community service program aimed to improve both knowledge and breast milk production through educational sessions and hands-on practice of oxytocin massage. The methods used included health counseling, demonstration, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The activity was conducted in RW9/RT1, Bulurokeng Subdistrict, targeting six married couples. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants' knowledge, with the average pre-test score of 30 increasing to 80 in the post-test. Oxytocin massage proved effective in stimulating the release of oxytocin and prolactin hormones, which play key roles in breast milk production. This educational intervention is expected to be implemented sustainably by health cadres and family members to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed to analyze the effect of physiology-based triage learning implementation on the accuracy of emergency patient management by professional nursing students. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design without a control group, 38 nursing students from Universitas Famika participated in an intervention involving simulation cases grounded in physiological concepts. Data were collected through physiology comprehension tests and triage accuracy assessments. The results showed significant improvements in both physiology understanding scores (from 64.13 to 79.05) and triage accuracy scores (from 60.74 to 82.39), with p-values < 0.001. Post-intervention distribution indicated that most students shifted into the “accurate” and “highly accurate” triage categories. These findings suggest that integrating physiological biology into triage education effectively enhances students’ clinical reasoning and decision-making accuracy in emergency care situations.Key words: case-based learning, clinical accuracy, nursing education, physiology, physiology, triage

Abstract

Adolescent obesity is a global public health concern that affects both physical health and psychosocial well-being. Integrative interventions that combine physical training with psychosocial support, such as the Child Healthcare Model, are increasingly being used to address this issue holistically. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of physical training based on the Child Healthcare Model on weight loss and body image among obese adolescents through a scoping review guided by the PRISMA framework. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of physical exercise based on the Child Healthcare Model in reducing weight and improving body image in obese adolescents. It is hoped that the results of this study will provide a deeper nunderstanding of the role of structured physical exercise in supporting obese adolescents to achiev their ideal weight and form a more positive body image. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies published between 2019 and 2024. The search focused on studies involving adolescents aged 12–18 years with obesity who underwent physical training programs integrated with the Child Healthcare Model. Study selection followed the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram, and data were extracted and synthesized narratively. Out of 187 initial articles, 23 met the inclusion criteria. Most studies reported that physical training combined with the Child Healthcare Model—through nutritional education, psychological support, and family involvement—resulted in average weight loss of 3–5% over 12 weeks and significantly improved body image as measured by validated scales. Family and professional involvement were key factors in enhancing participant motivation and outcomes. Physical training based on the Child Healthcare Model is effective in reducing body weight and improving body image among adolescents with obesity. These findings support the implementation of holistic, family-centered interventions in adolescent obesity programs.
