Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five as a result of chronic malnutrition so the child is too short for his age which has an impact on child development disorders. The right stimulation will stimulate the toddler's brain. Learning/stimulation media that combines text learning instructions with model illustrations or visualizations in the form of figures will be better than just containing words. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated video stimulation applications on the development of stunted toddlers Subjects and Method:  This type of research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design. The sample size in this study was 30 people, 15 people in the animation video intervention group and 15 people in the standard method intervention group. The dependent variable was the development of stunted toddlers. The independent variable was animation video application. The data were collected by Functionality and Usability Questionnaire. Data analysis carried out in this research was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the paired t-test. Results: The video group showed an increase in the mean developmental score from 6.80 to 9.20 (Mean difference = 2.40), and this result was statistically significant (p= 0.007). The standard group also demonstrated an increase in the mean score from 7.80 to 8.47 (Mean difference = 0.60), and this result was statistically significant (p<0.001). However, the increase in the mean score was greater in the video group compared to the standard group, suggesting that animated video stimulation had a greater effect on the development of stunted children than the standard method. Conclusion: The application of animated video stimulation has an effect on the development of toddlers who experience stunting.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage, defined as blood loss exceeding 500 ml after delivery, is a leading cause of maternal mortality in Indonesia. This condition can lead to serious consequences, including anemia, shock, and even death if not treated promptly and appropriately. Prevention efforts include educating pregnant women about early detection and preventive measures. One intervention is the implementation of pregnancy classes plus an Early Warning System (EWS) as a learning tool to improve mothers' self-efficacy and actions in preventing postpartum hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of pregnancy classes plus an early warning system on actions and self-efficacy in preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Subjects and Methods: This study used a True Experiment with a Pretest-Posttest with Control Group Design. The study location was the Gayamsari Community Health Center in Semarang City. Data collection was conducted from June to July 2025. The intervention group consisted of two groups: the intervention group, which received the pregnancy class with an Early Warning System (EWS), and the control group, which received a standard pregnancy class. The dependent variables studied were women's postpartum hemorrhage prevention practices and self-efficacy, while the independent variable was the early warning system (EWS) class. The analysis technique used was the Wilcoxon test. Results: Women in the intervention group reported higher postpartum hemorrhage prevention practices after the EWS class (median = 20; min-max = 13-20) compared to before the intervention (median = 10; min-max = 3-14) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). Women in the intervention group reported higher postpartum hemorrhage prevention practices after the EWS class (median = 52; min-max = 40-60) compared to before the intervention (median = 25; min-max = 20-35) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: The EWS class and early warning system have been shown to be effective in increasing postpartum hemorrhage prevention practices and efficacy, making them a safe and practical alternative for promotive and preventive interventions.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy is a global health problem that can increase the risk of complications for the mother and fetus. Cau Raja is a combination of 100 grams of Green Grass Jelly (Cyclea barbata Miers) and 25 mg of dried Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum), containing 24 mg of flavonoids and 107 mg of potassium. These compounds can lower blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of Cau Raja in reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension. Subjects and Methods: This study used a True Experimental and Pretest-Posttest with Control Group Design. The study location was Purwokerto Timur I Community Health Center. Data collection was conducted in November 2025. The intervention group consisted of 250 ml of Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) for 14 days and a control group given therapy according to SOP. The dependent variable studied was blood pressure, and the independent variables were Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) and therapy according to SOP. The analysis technique used a Paired Sample T-Test. Results: The average systolic blood pressure in the intervention group after being given Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) was lower (Mean = 118.88; SD = 7.16) compared to before the intervention (Mean = 129.81; SD = 4.96) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). The average diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group after being given Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) was lower (Mean = 76.50; SD = 5.36) compared to before the intervention (Mean = 83.94; SD = 4.37) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: Giving Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) has been proven to be effective in lowering blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension, so it can be used as a safe and practical non-pharmacological therapy alternative.

Abstract

Background: The common cold is one of the most common infectious diseases in toddlers and can reduce their comfort and activity. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as acupressure, are becoming increasingly popular because they are considered safe and can enhance the immune response. Cardamom massage oil contains bioactive compounds thought to help relieve symptoms and improve immune function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acupressure with cardamom oil on the severity of the common cold in toddlers aged 3-5 years, based on temperature and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels. Subjects and Methods: This study used a true experimental design and a pretest-posttest with a control group. The study was conducted at the Purwokerto Timur I Community Health Center in November 2025. A total of 32 subjects were divided into two groups: (1) The intervention group was given acupressure intervention group with cardamom oil for 30 minutes/day for 5 days (n = 16), and (2) The control group was given control group given Dextromethorphan, Pseudoephedrine, CTM, Paracetamol, and Vitamin C (n = 16). The dependent variables were body temperature and IgA levels. The independent variables were acupressure with cardamom oil and Dextromethorphan, Pseudo­ephedrine, CTM, Paracetamol, and Vitamin C. Body temperature is measured using a thermometer. IgA levels were measured using an ELISA kit. Data were analyzed by Paired t-tests. Results: The average body temperature in the intervention group after acupressure with cardamom oil was lower (Mean = 36.7; SD = 0.23) compared to before the intervention (Mean = 38.1; SD = 0.29) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). The average IgA levels in the intervention group after acupressure with cardamom oil were higher (Mean = 52.91; SD = 19.94) than before the intervention (Mean = 31.64; SD = 16.49) and were statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Acupressure with cardamom oil has been shown to be effective for the common cold by lowering body temperature and increasing IgA levels in toddlers aged 3-5 years.

Abstract

Background: Linear growth in early childhood is a vital indicator of health and largely determined by birth weight and length. The influence of birth size diminishes with age, yet the timing of this decline remains unclear in Indonesian children. This study aims to examine the influence of birth weight and birth length on linear growth among Indonesian children under five years of age and to determine the age at which these factors no longer play a significant role in body height. Subjects and Method: A retrospective cohort design was used, including a total of 2,287 children aged 0–60 months in Kayong Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, by the year 2023-2024. Birth weight and length data were collected retrospectively from Child Health Books, and height-for-age z score (HAZ) was measured at the time of the study descriptive statistics were used to summarize the basic characteristics of the cohort. Results: The linear regression results demonstrated that both birth weight and birth length had a significant association with HAZ in 0-60 months of age. However, this association diminished markedly with age. The effect of birth weight and birth length on linear growth status (HAZ) is more objective statistical interpretation up to 30–36 months of age. These comparisons suggest that while the statistical influence of birth weight and birth length on HAZ diminishes around 30–36 months, the biological effects of early growth constraints may persist beyond this threshold, particularly in environments where nutritional recovery or healthcare access is limited. Conclusion: The influence of birth anthropometric, particularly birth weight and birth length, on children’s linear growth, measured by height-for-age Z-score (HAZ), is strongest during early life and gradually decreases with age.

Abstract

Background: Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum, is not only associated with physical manifestations but also an increased risk of depressive symptoms. This study aimed to examine factors associated with depressive symptoms among syphilis-positive blood donors in Surabaya, with particular attention to family involvement and blood donation frequency. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 186 prospective blood donors with reactive syphilis screening results in Surabaya, Indonesia. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and family involvement was measured using the Family Support Scale (FSS). Blood donation frequency was categorized as regular (≥ 6 donations) or non-regular (< 6 donations) prior to the diagnosis of syphilis. Data were tested using multivariable binary logistic regression. Results: Higher levels of depressive symptoms were significantly associated with older age, being unmarried, lower family involvement, and non-regular blood donation in the bivariate analysis. Non-regular blood donation was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (p = 0.023). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, male sex (OR= 0.320, p= 0.002) and early adulthood (OR= 6.215, p= 0.002) emerged as independent predictors of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms among individuals with positive syphilis screening results are significantly associated with demographic and psychosocial variables. Although family involvement and donation frequency were not independent predictors in the multivariable model, they remain relevant considerations for public health interventions aimed at improving mental health outcomes in this population.
