Abstract

Spontaneous labor that is low-risk during the early phase often remains so throughout the process. Anxiety, defined as an unclear fear not based on the situation, commonly affects mothers during childbirth. Support from a husband can significantly reduce this anxiety, helping mothers feel more at ease. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband’s assistance and maternal anxiety levels during the active phase of the first stage of normal labor at Makassar City Hospital. This research used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 60 mothers who had normal deliveries at Makassar City Hospital in December, selected through accidental sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed with the chi-square test. The results showed that husband or family assistance with moderate maternal anxiety was reported by 53 respondents (88.3%). Good assistance was associated with severe anxiety in only 2 respondents (3.3%), while adequate assistance with moderate anxiety was seen in 3 respondents (5.0%). Limited assistance with moderate anxiety was reported by 2 respondents (3.3%).The p-value obtained was 0.003, indicating statistical significance (p < 0.05), which leads to the conclusion that there is a significant relationship between husband’s assistance and maternal anxiety levels in the active phase of the first stage of labor.Thus, it can be concluded that the presence and support of a husband during labor can play a crucial role in reducing maternal anxiety during childbirth at Makassar City Hospital.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among children under five. A key contributing factor is limited maternal competence, including insufficient knowledge of the appropriate age to introduce complementary feeding, poor understanding of dietary variety, and inconsistent feeding practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two educational interventions—cooking demonstrations and emotional demonstrations (emo-demo)—in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding local food-based complementary feeding. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in Majene Regency, West Sulawesi, involving 184 mothers of children aged 6–24 months. Participants were randomly assigned to either the cooking demonstration group or the emo-demo group. Data were collected at baseline and during three follow-up time points. Maternal competence was assessed using validated indicators covering knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Data analysis employed repeated measures ANOVA, the Friedman test, and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). Both interventions significantly improved maternal competence. However, the cooking demonstration group consistently achieved higher mean scores in all post-intervention assessments (p < 0.001). Improved maternal behavior was positively associated with weight-for-age in children, although no significant associations were found with height-for-age or weight-for-height indicators. Contextual, interactive, and hands-on educational approaches such as cooking demonstrations proved more effective in enhancing maternal competence for stunting prevention. Integrating culturally relevant, food-based learning into community health programs offers a promising and sustainable strategy to improve child nutrition, especially in regions rich in local food resources. Moreover, these educational interventions may also be incorporated into health education curricula at various academic levels to strengthen future health professionals’ competencies in nutrition promotion and stunting prevention.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penyuluhan kesehatan/ edukasi sebagai upaya dalam mengurangi kejadian risiko penyakit hipertensi di komunitas serta meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat tentang diet DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) dan latihan relaksasi otot progresif/ PMR (Progressif Muscle Relaxation). Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Lingkungan Limboro Timur pada 25 Februari 2025 dan dihadiri oleh 26 peserta. Metode penyuluhan menggunakan metode ceramah dan simulasi. Hasil penyuluhan kesehatan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan peserta pengabdian menjadi meningkat setelah diberikan penyuluhan edukasi diet DASH dan latihan PMR. Peserta pengabdian mengetahui tentang hipertensi, penyebab hipertensi dan pencegahannya, serta mampu melakukan simulasi latihan PMR dengan baik.
