Abstract

Background: Premarital health checks are essential for future spouses to ensure a healthy family start. Specific Background: Although required for marriage registration, premarital health screenings are often overlooked. Knowledge Gap: Research on attitudes toward these screenings, especially for prospective grooms, is scarce. Aims: This study examines the link between attitudes and participation in premarital health checks. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 30 prospective couples in Pakis Health Center, Surabaya, was conducted in October-November 2022. Results: Findings show a positive association between male attitudes and screening participation (p=0.024), while female attitudes showed no significant link (p=0.143). Novelty: The study reveals gender-specific attitude influences on health check participation. Implications: Tailored education could increase compliance, benefiting family health planning. Highlights: Male attitudes showed a positive link with screening participation, unlike female attitudes. Gender differences indicate the need for targeted health education. Premarital health checks support healthier family planning and reduce health risks. Keywords: Premarital Health Checks, Attitudes, Prospective Couples, Health Screening, Gender Differences

Abstract

General Background: Perineal rupture is a common condition during vaginal delivery that may cause hemorrhage, infection, and postpartum discomfort. Specific Background: Prenatal yoga is described as a pregnancy exercise involving physical movement, breathing regulation, relaxation, and pelvic muscle strengthening to support preparation for childbirth and reduce perineal rupture. Knowledge Gap: The relationship between regular prenatal yoga participation and perineal rupture occurrence among primiparous women undergoing vaginal delivery requires further assessment. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between prenatal yoga and the incidence of perineal rupture during vaginal delivery. Results: This quantitative study used a retrospective cohort design involving 36 primiparous postpartum women selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained through interviews regarding regular prenatal yoga participation and medical-record observations of perineal rupture, then analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test. Most respondents practiced prenatal yoga regularly (66.7%), while 58.3% did not experience perineal rupture. Among regular participants, 87.5% experienced no rupture, compared with 0% among those who practiced irregularly. The statistical test showed a significant relationship between prenatal yoga and perineal rupture occurrence (p=0.000). Novelty: The study presents empirical findings on regular prenatal yoga participation and perineal rupture among primiparous women delivering vaginally in Sidoarjo. Implications: Prenatal yoga may be considered as a promotive and preventive component of antenatal care to support efforts to reduce perineal rupture during vaginal delivery. Key Findings Highlights Regular prenatal yoga participation was reported by 66.7% of respondents. A total of 58.3% of respondents experienced no perineal rupture. A significant relationship was identified between prenatal yoga participation and perineal rupture occurrence (p=0.000).
