Abstract

Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, which can be prevented through early detection. The level of knowledge among pregnant women regarding the danger signs of preeclampsia is an important factor in preventing complications. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge of pregnant women about the danger signs of preeclampsia at the Tobelo Public Health Center, North Halmahera Regency. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 50 pregnant women selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed univariately in the form of frequency distribution and percentages. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 20–35 years (74%), had a secondary level of education (62%), and were multigravida (72%). The level of knowledge of pregnant women about the danger signs of preeclampsia was mostly in the moderate category (54%), followed by low (26%) and good (20%). These findings indicate that the knowledge of pregnant women is still not optimal in recognizing the danger signs of preeclampsia. Therefore, it is necessary to improve health education through antenatal care (ANC) services to enhance pregnant women’s understanding in early detection of pregnancy complications and to reduce the risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Stunting remains a public health problem, including in Padang City, and is associated with mothers’ limited knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding (CF). This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of an Android-based mobile application in improving mothers’ knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and CF compared with conventional education and to explore users’ experiences. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed. A total of 162 mothers were divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 81 participants in each group. The intervention group received education through the application, whereas the control group received education using leaflets/booklets. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test, and McNemar test, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results showed increases of 21.3 points in exclusive breastfeeding knowledge and 21.5 points in CF knowledge in the intervention group, compared with 7.5 and 7.6 points in the control group, respectively (p<0.001). Qualitative findings highlighted accessibility, multimodal materials, and interactive question-and-answer features. The Android-based mHealth application is more effective than conventional education in improving mothers’ knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding, supported by interactive features and multimodal content . It is recommended that primary healthcare centers adopt this application as a supporting educational tool while enhancing digital literacy and internet access. Future studies should examine its impact on behavioral changes and children’s nutritional status over the long term.

Abstract

Family support is an important determinant of postpartum maternal health behavior and decision-making. This study aims to determine the effect of family support on postpartum mothers' decisions to use traditional massage during the postpartum period. A quasi-experimental study with a single-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on 65 early postpartum mothers at the Jambula Community Health Center, Ternate City, from September to October 2025. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire that measured family support and decision-making related to traditional massage before and after the educational intervention. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed using SPSS version 21.0. Bivariate analysis used the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression to identify dominant factors influencing postpartum mothers' decisions. The majority of respondents were aged 20–35 years (75.4%), had a high school education (78.5%), and were housewives (84.6%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between family support (p = 0.001), education (p = 0.018), and parity (p = 0.032) and the decision to use traditional massage. Multivariate logistic regression identified family support as the most dominant factor (AOR = 5.82; 95% CI: 1.94–17.46; p = 0.002). Family support was the strongest predictor of postpartum mothers' decisions to use traditional massage. Healthcare providers should integrate family-centered education into postpartum care to optimize maternal recovery outcomes.

Abstract

Elevated sodium intake increases blood volume and vascular resistance, thereby raising blood pressure elevation. Excess body weight, particularly overweight status, further promotes sodium retention and vascular resistance, while physical inactivity impairs metabolic efficiency, thereby increasing the risk of weight gain and cardiovascular dysfunction. Globally, hypertension accounts for approximately 8 million deaths annually, with 1.5 million occurring in Southeast Asia. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between sodium intake, nutritional status, and physical activity levels and the prevalence of hypertension within the service area of the Pasar Ikan Public Health Center, Bengkulu City. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 94 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Dietary sodium intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), physical activity was categorized using the Physical Activity Level (PAL), and nutritional status was determined using Body Mass Index (BMI) measured with a digital scale and a microtoise. Blood pressure was measured using an automatic digital monitor (Omron). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. High sodium consumption was observed in 63.8% of respondents, 62.8% were classified as overweight, and 48.9% reported light levels of physical activity. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 66.0%. Chi-square analysis revealed significant correlations between hypertension and sodium intake (p = 0.001), nutritional status (p = 0.000), and physical activity (p = 0.003). High sodium intake, overweight status, and low physical activity are strongly correlated with hypertension. Mitigating hypertension risk requires reducing dietary sodium intake, maintaining a balanced diet, managing body weight, and engaging in regular physical activity.
