Abstract

Background: In 2019 there were 13,078 cases of cervical cancer in East Java, and in 2018 the prevalence reached 2.2 per 1,000 population. However, the coverage of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) vaccination as primary prevention of cervical cancer in Indonesia is still low. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influencing factors and the most influencing factors for female midwifery students in Human Papilloma Virus vaccination. Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The study was conducted in East Java. The study population was midwifery students. A sample of 252 midwifery students in East Java was selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variable was HPV vaccination. The independent variables are attitudes and family support. The data were collected by online questionnaire form and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Family support increased the likelihood of HPV vaccination in midwifery students (OR= 5.03; CI = 1.83 to 13.76; p= 0.002).

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight is the single most risk factor for perinatal mortality and placenta due to its importance in fetomaternal circulation plays an important role in pregnancy outcome. The present study aims to evaluate the pathological changes in the placenta in term (38-42 weeks) low birth weight babies. Subjects and Method: It is case control study done in Jorhat Medical College and Hospital during the period from June 2020 to May 2021. Consecutive sampling was done. 100 placentae were subjected to detailed gross and histological examination. Sixty placentae were from full term babies with birth weight less than 2,500g (LBW). Fourty placentae from full term babies with birth weight more than 2,500g were included in control group. Weight of the baby was taken within the 1st hour of birth and APGAR score was noted. Gross and microscopic examination of placentae was done. Statistical correlation was carried out between them by using Student t-test with SPSS software, P value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Weight of term LBW cases placentae were lighter compared to control, diameter of the placentae in term LBW cases placenta was lesser compared to control (p= 0.045). The syncytial knot count, cytotrophoblastic cell proliferation and perivillous fibrin deposition was more in placentae of term LBW cases compared to controls (p= 0.045). Conclusion: Placental pathology among term LBW cases was high in comparison tocontrol group. The present study shows the importance of histopathological examination of the placenta to know the exact mechanism of placental dysfunction in term LBW cases. Keywords: low birth weight, perivillous fibrin deposition, syncytial knot count, cytotrophoblastic cell proliferation. Correspondence:Dr Sanchita Paul ,house no.129, karimganj, Assam. Pin: 788710.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk is one of the factors that can affect growth and development. WHO is promoted exclusive breastfeeding and also encourages mother to raise breastfeeding until the children reach 2 year of age. This study was aimed to examine the relationships between the duration of breastfeeding, child nutritional status and development. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic obser­vational study with a cross sectional design. The study was con­duc­ted in three health centers, in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, from December 2019 to January 2020. A total of 200 mot­hers with children aged 1-3 years old were selected by purposive sampling. The depen­dent variables were child nutritional status and child development. The independent variable was duration of breast­feeding. Child development was measured using developmental pre-screening question­naire. The other variables were collected by questionnaire. The relationships between vari­ables were analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results: Duration of breastfeeding was not associated with child nutritional status (r= -0.01; p= 0.970). Duration of breastfeeding increased child development, but it was statis­tically not significant (r= 0.04; p= 0.550). Conclusion: Duration of breastfeeding is not associated with child nutritional status. It increases child development, but it is statis­ti­cally not significant.

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.
