Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the anxiety level of postpartum mothers and breastfeeding practices at Srikandi Husada Clinic, Bae District, Kudus Regency, in 2025. It was hypothesized that higher maternal anxiety would be associated with less optimal breastfeeding practices. Research Method: This study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 32 postpartum mothers selected from postpartum visits at Srikandi Husada Clinic. Anxiety level was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS-A), while breastfeeding practice was assessed using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Fisher’s Exact Test. Results and Discussion: Most respondents experienced mild anxiety (40.6%), followed by moderate anxiety (31.3%). In terms of breastfeeding, 53.1% of mothers practiced predominant breastfeeding, 37.5% partial breastfeeding, and 9.4% did not breastfeed. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between postpartum maternal anxiety and breastfeeding practice (p < 0.001). Higher anxiety levels were associated with a lower tendency to provide optimal breastfeeding. Implications: These findings highlight the importance of maternal psychological support during the postpartum period to improve breastfeeding outcomes. Further studies are recommended to explore additional psychosocial and family-related factors influencing breastfeeding success.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of ginger extract consumption on reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls. The research is based on the hypothesis that ginger extract, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, significantly decreases menstrual pain intensity and provides a safe non-pharmacological treatment alternative. Research Method: The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 406 female students at SMP Negeri 2 Gebog, with a sample of 70 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through pain scale assessments before and after administration of ginger extract. Analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as the data exhibited a non-normal distribution. Results and Discussion: Findings revealed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain levels after consuming ginger extract, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Before the intervention, most respondents reported moderate to severe pain, whereas after the intervention, the majority experienced mild pain or no pain. This confirms the hypothesis and aligns with previous studies highlighting the effectiveness of ginger extract in reducing menstrual pain. Implications: The results suggest that ginger extract can be promoted as a low-cost, accessible, and safe alternative to manage dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Future research should consider larger samples, control groups, and long-term effects to strengthen generalizability.
