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

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
