Abstract

Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is a common postpartum condition characterized by a widening of the inter-recti distance (IRD), which may lead to postural changes, lower back pain, and decreased quality of life. Postpartum exercise is a nonpharmacological intervention designed to strengthen abdominal muscles, improve core stability, and support the reduction of IRD. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of postpartum exercises in reducing inter-recti distance and improving abdominal muscle recovery among postpartum women. A quasi-experimental pretestposttest control group design was conducted involving 90 postpartum women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were assigned to treatment and control groups, with the intervention group receiving validated postpartum exercise videos performed routinely for six weeks. IRD was measured using a standardized palpation technique with proven validity and reliability. Additional instruments included observation sheets, muscle strength assessments, pain scales, and a postpartum quality-of-life questionnaire using the MPQOL-I (Maternal Postpartum Quality of Life Instrument). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. A significant reduction in IRD was observed in the treatment group compared with the control group (p = 0.001). The treatment group demonstrated greater improvement in abdominal muscle approximation, indicating a positive effect of postpartum exercises on abdominal wall recovery. Postpartum exercise is effective in reducing inter-recti distance and promoting abdominal muscle recovery in postpartum women. It is recommended as a simple, safe, and evidence-based intervention for postpartum care.

Abstract

From January to mid-June 2025, 23 cases of dengue fever (DHF) were found in RW 01 Cemani Village, which is an increase in cases. The main problem partners face is the lack of understanding and skills among health workers for preventing DHF through simple, environment-based innovations. This activity aims to empower health cadres by providing education and training on making ovitraps as a tool for monitoring and controlling Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. This activity is implemented in three stages: preparation, intervention, and evaluation. The preparation stage included licensing and preparing educational media and practical tools. The intervention stage involved delivering interactive materials, demonstrating ovitrap-making, and providing direct practice in making ovitraps using simple materials in groups. The evaluation stage involved observing ovitrap-making skills, cadre attendance, and pocket book usage independently. The results showed that ≥90% of the cadres attended, 85.7% could recreate ovitraps, and 95% used pocket books during practice. These resu lts prove that participatory training effectively improves cadres' skills and strengthens their capacity as agents of change in the community. In conclusion, the demonstrative method increased the cadres' knowledge and skills in independently making ovitraps. It is suggested that cadres continue.
