Abstract

Background: Eating problems are common among children, with approximately 25%-40% of toddlers being picky eaters. During the toddler developmental stage, children experience significant growth processes, and the role of the mother is crucial in ensuring that children are not exposed to nutritional deficiencies. Children's eating patterns begin to form before the age of 3 Many parents and children find this eating skill difficult. Objectives: This study aims to identify the factors associated with the prevalence of picky eating behaviours in toddlers. Methods: This study employs a systematic review approach, conducting a literature search across three databases: Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed. The selection of articles is guided by the PRISMA Flowchart, followed by critical appraisal utilizing the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) instrument. The findings indicate that 15 articles relevant to the literature review were identified based on the established inclusion criteria.Results: Upon analyzing the literature, this study concludes that the factors influencing picky eating behaviours are attributed to external factors, specifically parental behaviours, and internal factors related to the child's behaviour. Picky eating, defined as selective eating behaviour, is a prevalent issue often observed in toddlers. This phenomenon can lead to growth disorders and may adversely impact children's nutritional status and overall health in the long termConclusions: Several factors influence the phenomenon of picky eating in children, the most prevalent being insufficient maternal knowledge and the demands placed on working mothers. This phenomenon can lead to growth disorders and may adversely impact children's nutritional status and overall health in the long term.

Abstract

Background: Perineal laceration is a common complication during vaginal delivery, and its severity may influence maternal recovery and postpartum quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, including Kegel exercises and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), are believed to enhance perineal elasticity and reduce the risk of laceration. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of Kegel exercises and PFMT in reducing the degree of perineal laceration among postpartum mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only nonequivalent control group design was conducted among 60 pregnant women, who were assigned to either an intervention group (antenatal exercises with PFMT) or a control group. The degree of perineal laceration was assessed after delivery. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: The findings indicated a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups. The mean degree of perineal laceration was lower in the intervention group (0.77 ± 0.879) than in the control group (1.73 ± 0.583), with a p-value of 0.001 and a t-value of 5.915. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that Kegel exercises and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) are effective in reducing the degree of perineal laceration among postpartum mothers. The intervention group showed significantly lower laceration grades compared to the control group, indicating that these pelvic floor exercises can serve as a beneficial preventive strategy. These findings confirm that Kegel exercises and PFMT meet the study objective by contributing to a measurable reduction in perineal trauma during childbirth.

Abstract

Background: The nutritional status of pregnant women affects fetal growth. Inadequate nutrition intake can lead to poor maternal nutritional status, ultimately resulting in insufficient nutrients being transferred to the fetus. A good and correct dietary pattern and nutritional intake will meet the nutritional needs of pregnant women. Objectives: To determine the relationship between dietary pattern and nutritional intake with the nutritional status of pregnant women, including CED status, anemia status and weight gain in Pancoran mas, Depok City . Methods: This study was a prospective cohort conducted on 115 pregnant women. Respondents were observed for 7 days over 4 weeks to measure their dietary patterns and nutritional intake using Food Frequency Questionnare (FFQ) and the 24-hour Food Record and then processed using Nutrisurvey. Their nutritional status was then measured. CED and anemia status were measured using MUAC and hemoglobin tester after observation. Weight gain was measured before and after observation. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The average energy intake of respondents was 1.884,2 ± 383,30 kcal/day; the average protein intake was 79 ±  14,75 gram/day; the average iron intake was 24,8 ± 12,3 mg/day; and the average folic acid intake was 359,6 ± 83,04 mcg/day. There was a relationship between dietary patterns and the risk of CED, anemia status, and weight gain (p<0.05). There was a relationship between energy and protein intake and weight gain in pregnant women (p<0.05).Conclusions: Dietary patterns are related to the nutritional status of pregnant women. The average intake of energy, protein, iron, and folic acid in pregnant women is still far from the nutritional adequacy level. Health workers are expected to strengthen nutrition education, and pregnant women are expected to pay attention to their dietary patterns and nutritional intake during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a terminal disease that remains the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Indonesia. This disease has a wide impact, not only for sufferers but also for their social environment. Caregivers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) often experience psychological distress, especially when they are not prepared to care for sick family members. Their ability to fulfill the five family duties in health is greatly influenced by their psychological well being. Objectives: This study aims to describe the psychological well-being of caregivers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Sumedang regency.Methods: The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The sample in this study amounted to 196 respondents selected by simple random sampling technique. The instrument used was the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, which has a validity range of 0.279 to 0.660 and a reliability score (Cronbach's Alpha) of 0.885.Results: The results of the study showed that most caregivers (52.1%) were in the moderate psychological well-being category, while 47.9% were in the high category. Among the six dimensions of psychological well-being that were studied in this study,  only purpose in life and personal growth were predominantly in the high category (50-60%). The demographic analysis revealed that most respondents were aged 20–55 years (M = 36.3, SD = 10.9), the majority were female (56.1%), and most worked as housewives (44.8%). The duration of caregiving was predominantly 1–5 years (61.7%; M = 2.7, SD = 2.5).Conclusions: It can be concluded that most caregivers of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) exhibit moderate levels of psychological well-being. This indicates that caregivers can generally accept their strengths and weaknesses, build positive relationships, adapt to their environment, set clear life goals, demonstrate independence, and engage in personal growth. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance family counseling programs within supportive care and treatment services, as well as strengthen family psychoeducation initiatives in nursing and healthcare institutions

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0–6 months provides major health benefits, yet many mothers struggle to maintain it due to low motivation. “Hypnolactation,” which combines hypnosis to build confidence and reduce anxiety, with lactation massage to stimulate milk flow, may serve as an effective holistic care intervention.Objectives: This study develops an innovative holistic care model incorporating hypnolactation and lactation massage to enhance maternal motivation for exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design with 42 postpartum mothers at Kagok Health Center, Semarang (March–December 2024). Data were collected using a validated breastfeeding motivation questionnaire and observation sheets. Statistical analysis employed the Wilcoxon test and the independent t-test.Results: Both hypnolactation (Z = –2.33, p = 0.02) and lactation massage (Z = –2.00, p = 0.046) significantly improved maternal motivation, with hypnolactation showing greater effectivenessConclusions: The findings demonstrate that the holistic care model combining hypnolactation and lactation massage significantly improves maternal motivation for exclusive breastfeeding. This intervention effectively addresses psychological barriers such as anxiety and lack of confidence while also providing physical comfort that facilitates the breastfeeding process. Future studies should expand the sample size and evaluate the long-term impact on exclusive breastfeeding success up to six months.
