Abstract

Background: Uterine subinvolution occurs because the uterus cannot contract properly, causing bleeding, leading to death. Pineapple fruit is one of the herbal plants that can prevent uterine subinvolution and accelerate uterine involution. This study aimed to determine pineapple's effect on the reduction of uterine fundal height in postpartum mothers in Bengkulu City.  Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment. This study was conducted in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu, and using maternal postpartum injected oxytocin in the manage­ment stage III with one intervention group, namely the given juice pineapple. The sample used as many as 32 mothers postpartum in Bengkulu were taken by purposive sampling, by predetermined criteria. The dependent variable was uterine fundal height. The independent variables were pineapples juice, age, parity, early mobilization, and early initiation of breastfeeding. Data collection was carried out by the means of the direct interview using a questionnaire and observation sheet. The data were analyzed using independent t-test. Results: The bivariate analysis test results using the independent t-test showed that the group that consumed pineapples experienced a decrease in uterine fundal height for three days more than the control group. Pineapples juice (Mean= 2.55; SD= 1.66), without pineapples juice (Mean= 8.39; SD= 1.48; p <0.001). Age for interventions group, (Mean= 33.19; SD= 7.57) and control group (Mean= 27.56; SD= 8.45; p= 0.057). Parity for interventions group, (Mean= 2.38; SD= 1.45) and control group, (Mean= 2.12; SD= 1.31), p= 0.613. Early mobili­zation for interventions group, (Mean= 0.84; SD= 0.37) and control group, (Mean= 1.26; SD= 0.58), p= 0.022. Early initiation of breast­feeding for interventions group, (Mean= 16.44; SD= 6.64) and control group, (Mean= 16.38; SD= 5.69), p= 0.978.  Conclusion: Pineapple juice and early mobili­zation affect lowering a uterine fundal height in mothers postpartum three days and can help speed up uterine involution in post­partum mother in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu.

Background: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is still high, especially in children under five. One effort to prevent iron deficiency anemia is exclusive breastfeeding for newborns. This study aims to analyze exclusive breastfeeding on the incidence of anemia in children under five. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO as follows: Population= toddlers aged <5 years; Intervention= exclusive breastfeeding; Comparison= non-exclusive breastfeeding; Outcome= iron deficiency anemia. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including PubMed, Springer Link, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, which were published from 2012 to 2022. The keywords to search for articles are as follows: "Children" AND ("exclusive Breastfeeding" OR "formula" OR "mixed feeding") AND (anemia OR "Iron deficiency"). The articles included in this study were full-text articles with a cross-sectional study design. Articles are collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A meta-analysis of 9 cross-sectional studies from Ethiopia, Taiwan, Bangladesh and China concluded that exclusive breastfeeding is effective in reducing the risk of anemia in children under five. Toddlers who are exclusively breastfed have a risk of developing anemia 0.55 times compared to those who are not exclusively breastfed, and the reduced risk is statistically significant (aOR= 0.55; 95% CI= 0.32 to 0.92; p= 0.020). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding is effective in reducing the risk of anemia in children under five. Keywords: exclusive breastfeeding, anemia, toddlers. Correspondence: Fikri Dian Dinu Azizah.

Abstract

Background: Health and intelligence are the main foundation for creating quality Human Resources (HR). Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the best steps to improve the quality of human resources from an early age, in the first six months of a baby's life. The success of exclusive breastfeeding is due to several factors including age, relatively low level of education, lack of utilization of health facility services, and increased marketing of formula milk in urban areas. This study aims to analyze the effect of mother's education, geographic location of mother's residence, and place of delivery on exclusive breastfeeding. Subjects and Method: The researcher uses a systematic review and meta-analysis research, by formulating the researcher's assessment in the PICO as follows. Population: Breastfeeding mothers. Intervention: basic education, rural areas, health facility services. Comparison: Higher education, urban, without health facility services. Outcome: Exclusive breastfeeding. The articles were obtained from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, MDPI, and Scopus databases. The search keywords for the article are “maternal education” AND “residence” AND “delivery place” AND “exclusive breast­feeding” AND cross-sectional. The inclusion criterias were full-text, cross-sectional study, and reported adjusted odds ratio (aOR). Data were analyzed by Review Manager application (RevMan 5.3). Results: 20 cross-sectional studies involving 107,952 lactating mothers from Asia, Europe, and Africa were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. This meta-analysis showed that mothers with high education were 1.27 times more likely to exclusively breastfeed than mothers with low education (aOR= 1.27; 95% CI=1.01 to 1.59; p= 0.040). Mothers who live in rural areas are 2.16 times more likely to give exclusive breastfeeding than mothers who live in urban areas (aOR= 2.16; 95% CI= 1.17 to 4.01; p=0.010). Mothers who give birth in health care facilities are 1.79 times more likely to give exclusive breastfeeding compared to mothers who give birth at home (aOR= 1.79; 95% CI= 1.54 to 2.07; p=0.005) Conclusion: Maternal education, geographic location, and place of delivery increase the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Keywords: maternal education, residence, delivery place, exclusive breastfeeding Correspondence: Ade Amallia. Master’s Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the performance of several sectors, one of which is the quality of maternal and child health services. One of the factors contributing to the decline in the quality of maternal and child health services is limited access during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine is here as one of the answers to overcome the problem of limited access to health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the use of telemedicine applications by pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic using the ISO 9241-11 framework. Subjects and Method: This research method is an observational study with a descriptive approach to analyze usability in three measurement aspects namely effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The number of samples used was 42 pregnant women who had used telemedicine applications that had been determined during the COVID-19 period with a sampling technique using random sampling. The instrument used is an adaptation of the Standardized Usability Questionnaire (SUQ) which will be analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) technique to determine the usability score of the application. Results: Based on the results of the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) analysis, the ISO 9241-11 model has a goodness-of-fit model with an R-square value of 0.760 and a Q-square value of 0.577 with a Goodness of Fit (GoF) of 0.780. The effectiveness variable has a significant effect on the usability variable of the Teman Bumil application at a significance level of 5% with a statistical T value of 1,955. There is not enough evidence for the efficiency and satis­faction variables to say they have a significant effect on the usability of the Teman Bumil applica­tion at a 5% significance level with T-statistic values of 0.866 and 1.452. The usability score for the Friends Pregnant application is 44.45. Conclusion: The usability score obtained by the Teman Bumil application is 44.45, which means that Sahabat Bumil application has not been accepted by users as a system product that can help effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily. Keywords: telemedicine, pregnant women, COVID-19, ISO 9241-11, usability. Correspondence:Nurani Zulfa Zakiya, Midwifery Program Study, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia. Jl.
