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.

Abstract

Background: A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy that can endanger the health of the mother and fetus due to complications, both pre-existing and emerging during pregnancy, such as hypertension, diabetes, preeclampsia, anemia, and infection. Antenatal care (ANC) examinations play a crucial role in early detection of high-risk pregnancies so that complications can be prevented or managed early. Purpose: To analyze the effect of Antenatal Care examinations on early detection of high-risk pregnancies. Method: This study used a quantitative design with an analytical survey approach. The study was conducted from February to June 2025 at Efarina Karo Hospital. The study population was all pregnant women undergoing ANC examinations, using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level (p-value = 0.05). Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents (30 respondents) underwent a complete ANC examination. Early detection of high-risk pregnancies was found in 27 respondents (60.0%). Pregnant women who underwent a complete ANC examination were more likely to have high-risk pregnancies detected, namely 22 respondents (73.3%). The chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.012 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant influence between antenatal care (ANC) examinations and the early detection of high-risk pregnancies. Comprehensive ANC examinations are crucial for improving early detection and preventing pregnancy complications.
