Abstract

Acute respiratory infections (ARIs), particularly the common cold, account for 30–40% of toddler consultations in primary care settings in Indonesia. Nonpharmacological complementary therapies are urgently needed to reduce disease burden and antibiotic misuse. To evaluate the impact of a 2-day parent-administered "common-cold massage" program on illness duration among toddlers with mild ARI. A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted at PMB Nurul Asyaroti, Malang, Indonesia. Following ethical approval and parental consent, 16 toddlers (12–59 months) meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Parents received a 30-minute health promotion session and an illustrated leaflet and then applied the 10-step massage twice daily for two consecutive days. Illness duration (in hours from baseline to the first 24-hour period free of nasal congestion/rhinorrhea) was documented by parents and verified by a blinded assessor on day 3. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test; effect size (Cohen's d) and 95% CI are reported. Mean illness-duration decreased from 4.6 days (SD 0.89) pre-intervention to 2.9 days (SD 0.62) post-intervention (mean reduction 1.7 days; 95 % CI 1.2–2.1; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 2.1, indicating a huge effect). No adverse events were reported. Teaching parents a short, standardized massage significantly shortened the duration of common colds in toddlers. A randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirm the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the intervention before scaling it across Indonesian community health centers.

Abstract

The 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive is widely used because of its effectiveness, convenience, and affordability. However, prolonged use may cause side effects, particularly menstrual disturbances such as spotting, which can affect user comfort and compliance. This study's aimed to analyze the association between the duration of 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive use and the occurrence of spotting among family planning acceptors. This analytical cross-sectional study involved 30 family planning acceptors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Among the 30 respondents, 66.7% had used the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive for 1–2 years, and 43.3% experienced spotting. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between the duration of 3-month DMPA use and spotting (p = 0.088). Spotting is a common side effect among users of the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive, but it is not significantly associated with the duration of use. Comprehensive counseling and education regarding potential side effects are essential to improve user comfort and contraceptive compliance.
