Abstract

Health is a gift that must be acknowledged and maintained throughout life. Health improvement can be achieved by maintaining a proper diet, healthy lifestyle, and positive behavior. Health promotion includes both the prevention and treatment of diseases. One commonly encountered condition is Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), which are diseases primarily spread through sexual contact.STIs rank among the top ten causes of discomfort and disease in both men and women. The occurrence of STIs is largely due to the low usage of condoms, particularly among female sex workers. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of condom use socialization on the knowledge and attitudes of female commercial sex workers in the prevention of sexually transmitted infections in Helvetia Subdistrict, Medan, in 2023.This research uses a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample was selected using the total sampling technique, meaning the entire population was used as the sample, totaling 30 individuals. The data were analyzed using a One-Group T-Test Experimental method.The results of the study showed a significant impact of condom use socialization on the knowledge of female sex workers in STI prevention, with a T-test result of 0.000. Similarly, the influence on attitudes showed the same result, 0.000, indicating a statistically significant impact.The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant effect of condom use socialization on the knowledge and attitudes of female commercial sex workers in STI prevention in Helvetia Subdistrict, Medan, in 2023. Based on these findings, it is recommended that health workers increase the frequency of educational outreach efforts, particularly focusing on STI prevention among female sex workers through consistent condom use.

Abstract

Woolwich massage is a stimulation for breastfeeding mothers that provides a sense of relaxation and comfort, thereby increasing prolactin hormones and breast milk production, which is the main source of nutrition for babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by complementary foods until the age of two, plays an important role in the growth of babies, including weight gain. This study aims to determine the relationship between postpartum mothers' knowledge of Woolwich massage and infant weight gain at the Alisah Clinic in 2025. The study design uses an analytical approach with total sampling techniques, involving the entire population of 30 postpartum mothers who underwent Woolwich massage. The results show that the majority of mothers had poor knowledge (14 people, 46.7%), while a minority had good knowledge. The majority of infants did not experience weight gain, namely 23 infants (76.7%), while 7 infants (23.3%) experienced weight gain. Statistical testing at a 95% confidence level yielded a p-value of 0.00 < 0.01, indicating a significant relationship between postpartum mothers' knowledge of Woolwich massage and infant weight gain. The conclusion of this study confirms that postpartum mothers' knowledge influences the success of Woolwich massage in supporting infant growth. It is recommended that postpartum mothers routinely perform Woolwich massage to increase breast milk production, thereby stimulating growth and becoming an important factor in infant weight gain.
