Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem characterized by short stature. Stunting toddlers are generally susceptible to disease, have a below normal level of intelligence and low productivity. The high prevalence of stunting in the long term will have an impact on economic losses for Indonesia, which one of the causes of it is early pregnancy. The aim of this study was to described teenage pregnancy with the incidence of stunting in 24-59 months toddlers. Subjects and Method: This research was a cross-sectional study. Sampling was carried out by a two-stage cluster sampling method using purposive sampling. 96 stunted toddlers were obtained. The dependent variable was mother's age at first pregnancy. The independent variable was stunting incidence. Data was collected using questionnaire data, body length, and weight measurements. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis using SPSS Statististic 20. Results: 51.6% stunted toddlers were born by <20 years old mother at the time of first pregnancy. Almost all stunted toddlers were in the moderate stunting category (92.5%). 65.6% stunted toddlers didn’t get exclusive breastfeeding. 5.4% of 7.5% severe stunted toddlers were born by < 20 years old- mother at the time of first pregnancy. Conclusion: Pregnancy in teenager, when the mother herself is still growing, increases the risk of stunting. Stunting can also occur due to the lack of breastfeeding. It is necessary to make efforts to mature early marriage because it has an impact on unfavorable outcomes. Keywords: 24-59 months, pregnancy, stunting, teenage, and toddlers.

Abstract

Background: The increase in tobacco excise rates (CHT) or cigarette excise in early 2020 is a reason for smokers to switch to using e-cigarettes. WHO reports that about 64.9% of adult men in Indonesia are smokers, while in women it is 2.1%. This shows that Indonesia is ranked first in the world. Exposure to e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes will affect pregnancy and the fetus it contains. However, in reality, most people have the perception that e-cigarettes are safer than conventional cigarettes because their nicotine content is much lower than conventional cigarettes. The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in exposure to e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes on fetal weight in mice (mus musculus).Subjects and Method: This study used a true experimental design which was divided into two groups, namely 16 female mice as a group given exposure to e-cigarettes and 16 female mice as a group being exposed to conventional cigarettes. The dependent variable is the weight of the fetus. The independent variables were exposure to e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes. The instrument in this study used a digital gold scale with an accuracy of 0.01 gram. Data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test.Results: On average, exposure to e-cigarettes had a greater fetal weight (Mean= 1.61; SD= 0.64) than exposure to conventional cigarettes (Mean= 1.48; SD= 1.19), and this result was statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion: There are differences in exposure to e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes on fetal weight in mice (Mus musculus).

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea causes 34-50% of women to be unable to work in the workplace and 40% of adolescent girls are absent from school. Fish oil and ginger are used as alter­natives to NSAIDs, because although the use of NSAIDs is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain, they have side effects that are harmful to health after long-term conventional therapy. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of fish oil and ginger in reducing dysmenorrhea in women of reproductive age. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic study. The articles used were obtained from PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria used were full text art­icles with Randomized Control Trial (RCT). The study subjects are women of pro­ductive age. The treatment given was the con­sumption of fish oil or ginger with a placebo comparison, dysmenorrhea assessment using standardized measuring instruments such as VAS, Cox, ques­tionnaires, etc. Articles published in English. The PICO Research Problem are population= women of reproductive age, inter­vention= fish oil or ginger, comparison= placebo, and out­come= dys­menorrhea. The study was assessed using an effect size (Standar­dized Mean Diffe­rence). Meta analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 with Random Effect Model. Results: A total of 14 articles were reviewed in a meta-analysis in this study. Meta-analysis of 6 articles showed that fish oil reduced dys­menorrhea pain in women of reproductive age higher than placebo (Standardized Mean Diffe­rence= -1.06; 95% CI= -1.76 to -0.36; p= 0.003). Meta-analysis of 8 articles showed that ginger reduced dysmenorrhea pain in women of childbearing age more than placebo (Standar­dized Mean Difference= -0.77; 95% CI= -1.26 to -0.27; p=0.002). Conclusion: Fish oil and ginger are effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain in women of reproductive age.

Abstract

Background: Teenage mother should be ready for the consequences to come. It is important to get prepared both mentally and economically. A teenage mother and her offspring are at risk of malnutrition and stunting. This study aims to analyze the correlation between maternal age and the incidence of stunting based on published articles. Subjects and Method: A systematic review was conducted to find the correlation between maternal age and the incidence of stunting. The research was conducted by seeking into the database by using PubMed, Ebsco, Google Scholar, and SpringerLink. The keywords used were "risk factor" OR “determinant” AND “stunting” AND "young maternal age" OR "adolescent mother*" OR "teen mother*" OR "adolescent pregnancy" OR "teen pregnancy" AND "logistic regression" OR “multi­va­riate”. The obtained articles underwent screening and conformity assessment. Articles that met the criteria were subsequently extracted. Results: 1,048 articles were discovered from PubMed, Ebsco, Google Scholar and SpringerLink databases and 9 of them were included in the review. The articles were from Turkey, Tanzania, Pakistan, Ghana, Uganda, Burundi, 2 articles were from Ethiopia, and 1 article covered Brazil, Guatemala, India, Philippines, and South Africa. The prevalence of stunting in each region from the obtained articles showed a variation from 13.8% - 79.5%. It discovered the correlation between maternal age during pregnancy and incidence of stunting that pregnant women under the age of 20 were at greater risk for stunting compared to women aged ≥ 20 years (OR 1.37 – 7.56). Women at a younger age were at greater risk of having stunting children. Conclusion: The correlation between maternal age during pregnancy and stunting indicates that the younger the mothers, the higher the risk for stunting. The risk for stunting will decrease with the increasing maternal age at the time of delivery. Keywords: adolescence, stunting, teenage mothers, maternal age Correspondence: Fardhiasih Dwi Astuti. Jl.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk as a natural food is the best food that a mother can give to a newborn child. Judging from the factor of peace of mind and mind to produce good breast milk, the mental condition and mind must be calm. The psychological state of the mother who is depressed, sad, stressed, anxious, depressed and tense will reduce the volume of breast milk. One of the methods that can be done to increase milk production is Hypnobreastfeed­ing and marmet technique.The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of hypno­­breastfeeding and marmet techniques in increasing breast milk production. Subjects and Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equiva­lent control group design. The population in this study were pregnant women ≥36 weeks in the Banjar District Health Center in 2019 (Ara­nio, Astambul and Mataraman). The sample of the study was 45 pregnant women ≥36 weeks consisting of 3 groups, namely the group that received hypno­breastfeeding treatment, the group that received the marmet technique treatment and the group that did not get the treatment consisted of 15 people each. Biva­ri­able analysis used the one way anova statistical test. Results: Breast milk production in the hypno­breasfeeding group Hypnobreastfeeding vs con­trol group (mean= 2.00; SD= 0.50; p= 0.001); The marmet technique vc marmet technique group (mean= 1.87; SD= 0.50; p= 0.002). The marmet technique vc control group (mean= -18.7; SD= 0.50; p= 0.002). Conclusion: Pregnant women should get hypnobreasfeeding during pregnancy and after giving birth, health workers, especially mid­wives, to have hypnobreasfeeding skills.

Abstract

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is an early complication of pregnancy with high morbidity and mortality. Several studies have examined a history of endometriosis and Intrauterine Device Contraceptive (IUD) use as risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, but have shown mixed results. This study aims to analyze the influence of a history of endometriosis and IUD use on the incidence of ectopic pregnancy based on previous primary studies. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted with the PRISMA flow diagram guidelines. The article search process was carried out on the PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, SAGE, JSTOR, and Scopus databases, for articles published from 2005 to 2022. The keywords used were: “Endometriosis” AND “Intrauterine Contraceptive Device” OR “Intrauterine Device” OR “IUD” OR “IUCD” AND “Ectopic Pregnancy” OR “Extrauterine Preg­nancy” OR “Tubal Pregnancy” OR “Pregnancy Outcomes” OR “Pregnancy Complications” AND “Multivariate” OR “Multivariable” OR “Adjusted Odds Ratio” OR “aOR ". Analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software. Population: pregnant women of reproductive age. Intervention: endo­metriosis, using the IUD. Comparison: no endometriosis, no IUD use. Outcome: ectopic preg­nancy. Inclusion criteria were full-text observational study articles in English and Indonesian, with ectopic pregnancy as the outcome, analyzed multivariately by including adjusted Odds Ratio/aOR. The analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: A total of 11 articles from Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and North America were found to meet the criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The results of the overall analysis of 4 articles consisting of 2 cohort studies and 2 case-control studies were that endometriosis increased the risk of ectopic pregnancy 1.39 times higher than without endometriosis (aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.16-1.68; p < 0.001). The results of the analysis of 7 case-control study articles showed that the use of IUDs increased the risk of ectopic pregnancy 1.35 times compared to not using the IUD and was not statistically significant (aOR = 1.35, 95% CI = 0.45-4.03; p = 0.590). Conclusion: Endometriosis is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. IUD use increased the risk of ectopic pregnancy but was not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: Various factors contribute to changes in the condition of a woman's sexual drive, one of which is the use of hormonal contraception. The majority of women of childbearing age use the injectable hormonal contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy. The injection method of contraception consists of two types, namely triclofem and cyclofem. However, until now it is not known with certainty the difference in sexual drive between triclofem and cyclofem contraception users. The purpose of this study was to compare the value of total sexual drive in users of triclofem and cyclofem contraception. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2022 at PMB Maria, Tambaksari District, Surabaya City. A total of 152 subjects were selected in this study. The dependent variable is sexual drive, the independent variable is the use of triclofem and cyclofem contraception. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean sexual drive for users of triclofem contraception and the mean sexual drive for users of cyclofem contraception, namely users who were ?35 years old (p= 0.001), worked (p= 0.020), and had used contraception >2 years (p = 0.004). Contraceptive users aged <35 years (p=0.415), not working (0.082), and duration of contraceptive use ?2 years (p=0.578) showed no significant difference between the mean sexual drive of Triclofem contraceptive users and the mean sexual drive in users of cyclofem contraception. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the condition of sexual drive in contraception users of triclofem and cyclofem only in users with characteristics of age ?35 years, working, and having used contraception for >2 years. Also, users of triclofem contraception show lower sexual drive than users of cyclofem contraception. Keywords: sexual drive, contraceptive users, triclofem, and cyclofem.
