Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a period of significant physiological, social, and emotional transformation, often accompanied by a variety of symptoms, among which back pain is a prevalent complaint. Common intervention for alleviating back pain in pregnant women include light physical activity, such as prenatal yoga or pregnancy specific exercises regiments. This study seeks to elevate the efficacy of prenatal yoga in mitigating back pain during the third trimester of pregnancy.Method: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design employing a non-equivalent control group approach to investigate the impact of prenatal yoga on back pain levels in pregnant women. Participants were 60 women in their third trimester, with 30 assigned to the intervention group (prenatal yoga) and 30 to the control group (pregnancy exercises). Back pain was assessed in both groups using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire.Result: Both the prenatal yoga and pregnancy exercise groups experienced a reduction in back pain. However, prenatal yoga proved significantly more effective than pregnancy exercises (p < 0.05). Midwives are ideally suited to offer guidance during pregnancy classes to address back pain.

Abstract

Background: The Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) concept encourages life choices and adopting behaviors that prioritize both environmental sustainability and personal well-being. Lifestyle shifts and food consumption patterns are significant factors that often hinder the pursuit of a healthy and sustainable way of living. The purpose of this research is to explore the concept of LOHAS and its role in addressing the fundamental health needs of agricultural communities.Method: This study employs a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 138 fish cage farmers was selected. Primary data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and direct observations, focusing on aspects such as physical fitness, mental and emotional health, spiritual well-being, environmental awareness, and social responsibility. The data were analyzed descriptively.Result: The majority of fish cage farmers are males over the age of 50 years old. Aging farmers face physical and health challenges that can impact their productivity and long-term sustainability. Optimal physical health in agricultural communities can be supported through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Moreover, mental and emotional well-being can be enhanced through stress-relief activities, meditation, and fostering positive relationships. Adopting a holistic health approach enables communities to address physical, mental, emotional, and environmental aspects in alignment with the LOHAS framework.

Abstract

Background: Many studies have examined the impact of empowerment on maternal health outcomes, yet few have addressed the specific contexts through which empowerment influences health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the contexts in which empowerment affects maternal health status.Method: This literature review used studies from PubMed and Semantic Scholar databases. Articles were included if published within the last five years and provided free full-text access. Exclusion criteria included studies deemed irrelevant. All included articles were thoroughly reviewed. A total of 13 articles were identified and reviewed.Result: The findings revealed that women's empowerment influences maternal health through various pathways. Financial empowerment, including control over household expenditures and access to income, along with social empowerment—characterized by mobility, decision-making autonomy, access to communication tools, and rejection of spousal violence—was associated with increased antenatal care (ANC) visits, greater utilization of skilled birth attendants (SBAs), and a higher likelihood of delivering in healthcare facilities. In turn, it impacts maternal health status, as they are associated with reduced risk of complications. Furthermore, cultural and structural barriers, such as patriarchal norms and gender-based restrictions, were identified as challenges to empowerment.

Abstract

Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective strategy for preventing HIV, especially among high-risk groups such as injecting drug users, transgender individuals, sex workers, and men who have sex with men (MSM). In Indonesia, where HIV continues to pose a significant public health challenge, PrEP has the potential to decrease new infections. However, knowledge about PrEP among its users is limited. This study aims to investigate the relationship between users’ knowledge, attitudes, and adherence to PrEP, as well as their satisfaction with services, to design targeted interventions that address misconceptions, reduce stigma, and encourage long-term PrEP use. By offering insights into the experiences of PrEP users, the research seeks to improve PrEP accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness, contributing to global efforts to end the HIV epidemic.Method: 200 registered PrEP clients in Puskesmas Andalas participated in this cross-sectional study. Structured questionnaires covering demographics, PrEP utilization, attitudes toward PrEP, and knowledge about PrEP were employed to gather data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-squared testing, considering p<0.05 as statistically significant.Result: The study results show that 56.5% of participants knew enough about PrEP, while 58.5% held favorable opinions about using it. However, attitudes (p=0.135) and knowledge (p=0.062) showed no discernible effects on PrEP use. The findings suggest that PrEP uptake may be more significantly influenced by factors such as accessibility, pricing, and social stigma, even though education and positive attitudes remain crucial. The study concludes that increasing PrEP utilization among high-risk populations requires comprehensive strategies that tackle these barriers.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy-related anxiety is a common condition that can negatively affect both maternal and fetal health. This type of anxiety has been associated with a higher risk of complications such as premature birth and low birth weight. One intervention shown to be effective in reducing anxiety during pregnancy is prenatal education through structured classes for expectant mothers.Method: The scoping review adapted the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). Framework and was systematically reported using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flowchart, then selected from the PubMed, Biomed Central, Wiley Online Library, and ResearchGate databases. A total of 2.078 articles were screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 16 articles to be reviewed. These were then further selected by assessing the quality of the articles using the Critical Appraisal JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) Checklist based on the type of research from the reviewed articles.Result: Five main themes emerged from the reviewed studies: the role of prenatal classes in reducing anxiety, their impact on birth outcomes and maternal-infant health, the use of technology-based and online learning platforms, maternal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, and various models and approaches in delivering prenatal education. Both in-person and online formats were found to be beneficial, especially when tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of pregnant women. Prenatal education classes are an effective strategy to lower anxiety levels during pregnancy and to improve maternal readiness for childbirth. Additionally, such education supports better health outcomes for both mother and baby. The delivery method whether face-to-face or digital should be selected based on the specific needs of the participants to maximize the benefits of the program.

Abstract

Background: Reproductive health and premarital services are important aspects of marriage preparation to prevent health hazards for the bride and groom. There are still many prospective brides who have limited knowledge about reproductive health and the benefits of premarital screening and counseling. Low utilization of premarital services can increase the risk of pregnancy complications, sexually transmitted infections, as well as early marriage, which poses a high risk to maternal and child health. This study aims to explore the experiences of prospective brides related to reproductive health and premarital services through a systematic review using the scoping review method.Method: This study employed a scoping review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) Flowchart approach. The literature search was performed in the main databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley, using keywords determined based on the PEOS (Population, Exposure, Outcome, and Study Design) framework. The literature review was conducted on scientific publications in English, primary research articles or reviews relevant to the same theme, as well as studies published within the last 10 years. In addition, it was analyzed thematically to identify patterns of key findings.Result: The level of knowledge of future husbands and wives’ reproductive health and premarital services still varies, with most individuals having limited understanding before undergoing educational interventions. Interventions such as premarital courses, counseling, and brochure-based counseling are effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of future husbands and wives. However, there are barriers to the implementation of premarital services, such as limited access, social stigma, and a lack of rules regulating obligatory premarital examinations. Therefore, stronger policies are needed from the government, as well as ongoing education in schools and universities to increase public awareness of the importance of reproductive health before marriage.

Abstract

Background: Birth weight is a critical indicator of an infant's health. Research conducted in Indonesia has identified low birth weight (LBW) as a leading cause of neonatal mortality, accounting for approximately 35% of all cases. This study aims to determine the factors influencing the incidence of LBW.Method: The study used a retrospective design and included 83 respondents selected through quota sampling. Data were collected from the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbooks at Manggis Integrated Service Post (posyandu). Univariate analysis was performed to calculate frequency and percentage values. Bivariate analysis was carried out using the chi-squared test to examine relationships between variables. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the logistic regression test to assess the influence of multiple variables.Result: Maternal age at pregnancy (p=0.037) and maternal mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (p=0.034) were significantly associated with the occurrence of LBW in newborns. The odds ratio (OR) analysis revealed MUAC as the primary factor influencing LBW (OR=4.278), followed by maternal age during pregnancy (OR = 3.750). In comparison, haemoglobin levels (p = 0.500), maternal height (p = 0.408), and gestational age (p=0.118) were not significantly associated with the occurrence of LBW. MUAC was found to influence the occurrence of LBW in Kemuning Lor Village (p = 0.027). The MUAC variable accounted for 16.9% of the variance in LBW cases (R2 = 0.169). Improving the nutritional status of adolescent girls is imperative to ensure optimal health outcomes in future pregnancies.

Abstract

Background: Speech and language delay is a condition in which a child's speech and language abilities do not meet age-appropriate developmental expectations. Without timely intervention, such delays may lead to more significant disorders, including developmental language disorders and learning difficulties upon reaching school age. Interactive parent-child engagement plays a critical role in promoting speech and language development and in preventing delays among typically developing children.Method: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The process involved analyzing online articles published between 2020 and 2024, sourced from ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using the keywords "parent-child interaction" and "language and speech development".Result: Eight relevant studies were reviewed and analyzed. The findings consistently highlight the significant role of parent-child interactions in preventing speech and language delays. Parents contribute not only to supporting age-appropriate development but also to identifying potential delays or abnormalities early, thereby enabling timely intervention. Reciprocal interactions provide children with meaningful experiences that foster language acquisition. Shared activities such as reading together offer children opportunities to imitate, create narratives, and receive corrective feedback from parents on aspects such as articulation and intonation.
