Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, which usually occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This condition can have a major impact on the health of the mother and fetus, one of which is increasing the risk of low birth weight (LBW). This study aims to determine the relationship between preeclampsia and the incidence of LBW among pregnant women who experience preeclampsia. This study was conducted at RSU Bethesda Gunungsitoli starting from July 2024 to January 2025. This research method is quantitative descriptive analytic with a retrospective approach. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis with the chi-square statistical test. The results of the bivariate test showed a significant relationship between preeclampsia and the incidence of LBW (p-value 0.001). Suggestions for respondents Pregnant women are expected to better understand the symptoms of preeclampsia, such as hypertension and swelling of the extremities, as well as the importance of early detection and routine control during pregnancy (ANC). Regular blood pressure checks are very important to detect the condition of preeclampsia early on.

Abstract

Anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women is a common psychological issue that occurs as labor approaches. Unmanaged anxiety can negatively impact the labor process and the health of both mother and fetus. One non-pharmacological method that can be used to reduce anxiety is endorphin massage, a massage technique that stimulates the release of endorphins, creating a sense of calm and comfort. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 40 third-trimester pregnant women selected using total sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after the endorphin massage intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of endorphin massage on reducing anxiety levels in third-trimester pregnant women. It is recommended that future studies combine endorphin massage with other interventions such as aromatherapy, relaxation music, or hypnobirthing.

Abstract

One form of healthy living behavior and improving the quality of life is by doing physical activity every day. In the current global situation, 1 in 4 adults and 81% of adolescents do not do enough physical activity. The group of adolescents to young adults (15-24 years) has an inactive lifestyle (lack of physical activity) of 52%. The impacts of lack of physical activity include obesity, insulin resistance, motor disorders, decreased brain function, cognitive function and triggering strokes, heart attacks and osteoporosis. This study aims to determine the factors related to physical activity in adolescents at Madrasah Aliyah As-Suurur Pameungpeuk, Bandung Regency. The research design used is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The total sample was 85 respondents. The sampling technique used was Stratified Random Sampling. Data collection using a questionnaire. The results showed that most respondents had low physical activity as many as 36 students (42.4%). Based on bivariate analysis, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the five factors with physical activity, including self-efficacy (p value = 0.013), motivation (p value = 0.005), friend support (p value = 0.016), perceived benefits (p value = 0.001) and perceived barriers (p value = 0.005). It is recommended that adolescents routinely do moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 15-30 minutes per day and can limit the amount of time spent inactive. Suggestions for further research can examine other variables such as beliefs, environment, work and culture with physical activity to increase physical activity in all age groups.

Abstract

The prevalence of HIV among adolescents is experiencing a substantial rise.  A significant factor to this increase is adolescents' insufficient understanding of HIV, its transmission, and preventative methods.  Adolescents with a limited understanding of HIV may engage in promiscuity due to their ignorance of the repercussions of their behaviour.  This study aimed to assess adolescents' knowledge following health education on HIV.  This research employed a quantitative methodology with a pretest-posttest design, comprising 28 pupils from Kedawung 1 Public Junior High School.  A questionnaire assessing HIV awareness was administered to respondents prior to (pretest) and after (posttest) the health education intervention.  The collected data were analysed to ascertain the frequency distribution of respondents exhibiting proficient knowledge in both the pretest and posttest.  The findings of this study demonstrate that the proportion of teenage girls exhibiting proficient knowledge rose from 10.7% in the pretest to 85.7% in the posttest.  Parental, educational, healthcare, and academic support is crucial for adolescent to effectively apply the HIV prevention and treatment strategies acquired through health education.

Abstract

Approximately 25% of women of reproductive age worldwide are affected with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).  A number of research have concentrated on evaluating the quality of life of women diagnosed with PCOS and related health issues.  This study was undertaken to assess the quality of life in women with PCOS.  This research constitutes a scoping review grounded in the Arksey and O'Malley paradigm.  A systematic literature search was performed in CINAHL Plus with Full-Text, PubMed, and Scopus utilising the search phrases "female OR woman OR women OR females" AND "PCOS OR polycystic ovary syndrome OR polycystic ovarian syndrome" AND "quality of life."  In accordance with the PRISMA-ScR methodology, 26 papers were selected for analysis in this study.  This scoping research revealed that the majority of women with PCOS encounter a diminished quality of life.  Demographic factors, anthropometric measurements, sex hormones, metabolic parameters, and sedentary behaviour contribute to this diminished quality of life.  Certain women practise lifestyle management, including emotional regulation and dietary control, to enhance their quality of life.  Medical professionals must evaluate the therapy and counselling modalities that can enhance the quality of life for women with PCOS.  Additional research is required to ascertain the correlation between the severity of PCOS symptoms and women's quality of life. Keywords: PCOS, quality of life, women.

Abstract

Maternal and infant mortality rates in Indonesia are still high. One of the factors affecting MMR and IMR is the lack of compliance of pregnant women in conducting Antenatal Care (ANC). ANC can prevent and detect early complications in pregnancy. ANC is an effort to reduce MMR and IMR which is carried out at least 6x. The objectives to determine the relationship between predisposing factors (age, education, occupation, parity, attitude, and knowledge) with ANC compliance. The study used a quantitative correlational approach with a cross sectional approach. The sample was 60 third trimester pregnant women who were taken by total sampling. The instrument was a questionnaire, which had been tested for validity and reliability by researchers Zjubaidi & Chairiyah. Bivariate analysis using Chi-square test. The results are age, parity, and attitude had a significant relationship with ANC adherence (p<0.05), while education, occupation, and knowledge did not have a significant relationship (p>0.05). Continuous public health education focusing on optimal utilization of ANC services is needed. Keywords: Pregnant woment, Antenatal Care (ANC) Compliance, Trimester III.

Abstract

Research on digital platforms for family planning was scarce, and many studies only measured knowledge without examining changes in attitudes or actual contraceptive-choice behavior. Comprehensive evaluations of the application before and after use were also lacking, leaving insufficient evidence of its effectiveness as an educational tool. This created a clear research gap, highlighting the need to examine the influence of the “KLIK KB” application on users’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in choosing contraceptive methods. This study was to determine the increase in knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in women of childbearing age about contraceptive methods before and after using the Klik KB application. The design of this study was quantitative research that used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest type. This design did not have a comparison (control) group. The instruments used were questionnaires, all of which had been validated and reliability-tested beforehand. The population consisted of 30 respondents, and total sampling was used with accidental sampling to select all 30 respondents. This study used a paired sample t-test. The research was conducted in the Batu Jajar area of West Bandung Regency from May to August 2025. The result is an influence on the use of the Klik KB application on knowledge, attitudes and behavior in choosing contraceptives. There is an influence on the use of the Klik KB application on knowledge, attitudes and behavior in choosing contraceptives. Suggestions for future researchers were advised to use a larger sample for stronger results. Keywords: Attitude, behavior, klik KB application, knowledge, women of childbearing, age.

Abstract

The decision-making process regarding whether to breastfeed or not among mothers living with HIV is complex and influenced by multiple factors, including personal experiences, level of knowledge, cultural values and norms, and support from healthcare professionals. Mothers who choose to breastfeed often face ongoing anxiety related to potential risks and concerns about their infant’s health. Conversely, mothers who decide not to breastfeed may experience emotional conflicts, such as feelings of guilt and a diminished sense of confidence in fulfilling their maternal role.This study aims to explore the breastfeeding experiences of HIV-positive mothers with their infants using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Eight participants were selected through snowball and interviewed in depth using a semi-structured guide, and the data were analyzed thematically; the findings revealed five main themes, namely considerations in decision-making regarding infant feeding influenced by economic factors, recommendations from health professionals, and family support; mothers’ emotional reactions from the moment of HIV diagnosis characterized by shock, fear, confusion, mixed feelings during breastfeeding, and sadness or guilt for those who did not breastfeed; efforts to prevent HIV transmission by adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART), maintaining hygiene of the breast and feeding equipment, practicing exclusive breastfeeding without mixing formula, and avoiding breastfeeding when nipples were injured; challenges and obstacles including social stigma, the financial burden of formula milk, lack of family support, and inconsistent medical information; and finally, support, information, and expectations, where mothers gained strength through regular consultations with healthcare providers, encouragement from husbands, and peer support from other HIV-positive mothers, while expressing hopes for more intensive assistance, continuous education, and more humanistic health services; this study concludes that infant feeding decisions among HIV-positive mothers are not merely medical issues but are shaped by the complex interaction of psychological, social, economic, and environmental support factors.

Abstract

The postoperative period following a cesarean section (CS) is a critical phase of physical and psychological recovery and carries the risk of complications such as wound dehiscence and urinary retention. If not properly managed, these complications may lead to prolonged pain, extended treatment duration, increased risk of infection, and long-term bladder dysfunction. This case report aims to identify the contributing factors to post-CS complications and describe nursing interventions that may prevent further deterioration. A descriptive observational design with a nursing care approach was used, conducted from 17-23 October 2024. The subject was a post CS POD 19 mother with a history of IUFD with complications of wound dehiscence and urine retention. Assessment findings revealed inadequate nutritional intake, insufficient early mobilization, and poor medication adherence, all of which contributed to the complications. Additionally, the use of honey as a natural antimicrobial showed potential benefits in supporting wound healing. These findings highlight that improper management may prolong treatment and increase the likelihood of additional complications. Therefore, comprehensive nursing care, continuous monitoring, and effective patient education are essential to improve adherence and support optimal recovery.Keywords: Cesarean section, postoperative complications, postpartum women, urinary retention, wound dehiscence.
