Abstract

The counseling process requires engaging media to effectively enhance understanding and promote behavioral change within the target population. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of health counseling delivered through video and leaflet media on adolescents’ readiness to face menarche. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed. The study population consisted of students in grades 4 to 6 at SDN 101816, totaling 136 individuals. From this population, 60 respondents were selected and divided equally into two groups: one group (n = 30) received counseling via video media, while the other group (n = 30) received counseling through leaflets. Results indicated that adolescents' readiness to face menarche increased following health counseling with video media, with mean scores rising from 26.47 pre-intervention to 31.20 post-intervention, representing an improvement of 4.73 points. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant effect of video-based counseling on readiness (p < 0.001). Similarly, counseling using leaflet media resulted in an increase in readiness, with mean scores improving from 24.73 before intervention to 27.10 after, an increase of 2.34 points, also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Furthermore, comparison between the two groups revealed a significant difference in the effectiveness of video versus leaflet counseling approaches, favoring video media (p = 0.002). These findings suggest that health workers should prioritize the use of engaging media, such as videos, in health promotion efforts aimed at preparing adolescents for menarche.

Abstract

Background: Optimal breast milk production meets infants’ nutritional needs, crucial in stunting prevention. Many postpartum mothers face insufficient milk production, which can affect infant weight gain and increase the risk of stunting. The innovation of combining oxytocin massage with Foxy Oil is expected to enhance breast milk volume, frequency of wet diapers, and infant weight gain—key indicators in stunting prevention. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with purposive sampling, involving 60 postpartum mothers: 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26 for univariate and bivariate data. Data normality was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and bivariate analysis with the Mann-Whitney test. Breastfeeding optimisation was assessed based on breast milk volume, number of wet diapers, and infant weight over one month in the working area of Tanjung Morawa Community Health Centre. The husband or a close family member performed an Oxytocin massage twice daily for 10–15 minutes. Results: Bivariate analysis after oxytocin massage showed significant effects on breast milk volume (p = 0.000), number of wet diapers (p = 0.000), and infant weight (p = 0.039). The analysis indicates that the combination of Foxy Oil and oxytocin massage positively affects breast milk production, frequency of wet diapers, and infant weight gain. Conclusion: Foxy Oil's innovation, combined with oxytocin massage, can be widely applied in midwifery practice to support successful exclusive breastfeeding and contribute to stunting prevention.
