Abstract

The postpartum period is crucial and vulnerable in a mother's life, beginning after delivery and lasting up to six weeks postpartum. During this period, mothers experience physiological and psychological changes that require intensive attention and care to prevent complications. Health cadres play a crucial role in reaching the community, especially postpartum mothers. Cadres are tasked with conducting home visits, providing education, monitoring for danger signs, and referring mothers to health facilities if complaints or complications are found. This role is very strategic in increasing mothers' understanding of the importance of self-care during the postpartum period. This study aims to determine the role of cadres in postpartum care and early detection of complications in postpartum maternal risk cases at the Sikumana Community Health Center in Kupang City. This study used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 69 Posyandu cadres. Data analysis used univariate analysis with a frequency distribution. The results showed that most Posyandu cadres had sufficient knowledge, strong attitudes, and high motivation regarding postpartum care and early detection of complications.

Abstract

The health of pregnant women is one of the important indicators in determining the degree of public health, because it is directly related to maternal mortality rates (AKI) and infant mortality rates (AKB).  One of the promotive approaches that can be done to improve maternal health during pregnancy is through pregnancy exercises, which is a form of light physical exercise that aims to strengthen muscles, facilitate breathing, and prepare mothers for the delivery process. Pregnant women who regularly participate in gymnastics experience improved physical condition, reduced stress, and are more mentally prepared to face childbirth than those who do not. The purpose of this activity is to help pregnant women engage in pregnancy exercises as a means to increase their knowledge and promote maternal health.  The method used is through counseling.  The partners in this activity are all pregnant women in Oelnasi Village, totaling 10 people. Evaluation of knowledge using pre-test and post-test questionnaires.

The results of the statistical test showed that there was a significant increase in the knowledge of pregnant women after the provision of educational materials about pregnancy exercises (p = 0.000; α < 0.05).
