Abstract

ntroduction: Traditional postpartum care practices remain an integral aspect of maternal and child health in indigenous communities. Mararang tradition is a postpartum care tradition that continues to be widely practiced among Batak postpartum mothers, as it is believed to accelerate maternal and infant recovery through heat therapy. . This study aims to examine the historical evolution of the mararang tradition, its cultural significance, and its implications for maternal and infant health. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the experiences of postpartum mothers practicing the mararang tradition. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with postpartum mothers, their husbands, traditional leaders, and healthcare providers in North Sumatra Province. Source triangulation, methodological triangulation, and data analysis were applied in this research. Thematic and content analyses were conducted to explore key dimensions of health beliefs, communication, and the transformation of the mararang tradition over time. Results: Participants ascribed thermal balance, comfort, and social support to mararang, while acknowledging potential risks from heat and smoke. Communication between families and midwives produced adaptive forms (e.g., moderated heat, improved ventilation, time?limited sessions), balancing cultural continuity with safety. We synthesise a conceptual model showing how explanatory beliefs, family authority, and professional guidance co?produce negotiated care. Conclusion: Mararang persists through culturally safe adaptations facilitated by respectful dialogue; practical safeguards (distance from heat source, ventilation, exclusion post?caesarean) can be embedded within routine postpartum care. Programmes should integrate culturally anchored counselling and risk?mitigation protocols, enabling context?sensitive maternal and newborn care.

Abstract

Backgrounds: Indonesia is the second-largest cigarette market in the world, with an increased smoking rate among young people aged 10-18 years. The latest data show that smoking is increasingly common in youth. Tobacco control will reduce public demand for tobacco products, especially if the supply of tobacco can be limited. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional design; research was conducted in July-November 2022. This study was conducted on 130 junior high and senior high schools with details of 78 schools in Tebing Tinggi City, and Pematang Siantar City has 52 schools. This study will also examine smoking behavior among students as many as 3900 in junior high and senior high school, with the distribution of students in the city of Tebing Tinggi as many as 2340 students, and students in Pematang Siantar as many as 1560 students. This study will take the coordinates of the school and the coordinates of outdoor retailers' cigarettes around the school using GPS and then will be analyzed using QGIS 3.0 to describe the school's coordinates with the coordinates of the cigarette seller. Data analysis of retailers' cigarettes around schools and students' smoking behavior in Tebing Tinggi City and Pematang Siantar City will use the STATA 15.
