Abstract

Adolescents are a vulnerable group to the influence of social media, particularly in sexual exploration and behavior. This study aims to examine the literature on the influence of social media on adolescent sexual behavior through a scoping review approach. A literature search was conducted across six databases using keywords related to "adolescents OR teenagers" AND "social media use OR social media" AND "sexual behavior OR sexual activity OR online pornography" covering the years 2020-2025, with full text articles focusing on the influence of social media on adolescent sexual exploration and sexual behavior. Of the 8,443 articles found, 15 met the inclusion criteria. The study found that social media is associated with accelerated sexual development, exposure to pornography, and risky sexual behavior. Future research is recommended to focus on comprehensive sex education and digital media monitoring by families, schools, and health professionals to minimize negative impacts on adolescents.Keywords: Adolescents, social media, sexual behavior, pornography

Abstract

Perinatal loss is a profound grieving experience that is often socially unrecognized, potentially leading to significant psychological distress among mothers. This study aimed to explore the grieving experiences of mothers who experienced perinatal loss. A qualitative descriptive exploratory case study design was employed involving two purposively selected participants in the working area of Ciptomulyo Primary Health Center, Malang City. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and home-visit observations. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis, including coding, categorization, and theme development based on interview and observational data. The findings identified three main themes: causes of grief, stages of grief, and impacts of grief. The first subject experienced perinatal loss compounded by perceived inadequate health care services but had reached the acceptance stage supported by strong social support and adaptive coping strategies. The second subject experienced recurrent perinatal loss and significant social pressure, resulting in a prolonged depressive phase marked by sleep disturbances, social withdrawal, and suicidal ideation. Variations in grief intensity were influenced by loss context, health care experiences, and levels of social support. This study concludes that maternal grief following perinatal loss is highly individualized and requires context-sensitive psychological support. Future research is recommended to involve a larger and more diverse sample, including mothers with longer post-loss durations, to better understand long-term psychological impacts and protective factors in recovery processes.

Abstract

Newborns who receive exclusive breastfeeding are still small, namely around 38%. The low level of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by several factors including lack of support, fatigue, and stress. These factors can cause inhibition of the production of oxytocin and prolactin hormones, so that action is needed to handle it. The purpose of this case study was to see the application of woolwich massage in postpartum nursing care on days 1-7 to increase breast milk production. The method used was a descriptive method with a case study approach with postpartum mothers as subjects, the research was carried out for 7 days. The results of the case study showed that woolwich massage can overcome two nursing problems, namely postpartum discomfort and ineffective breastfeeding after being carried out for 7 consecutive days of massaging the lactoferus area for 15 minutes, marked by increased comfort and increased breast milk production. Conclusion: Woolwich massage performed for 15 minutes in 7 days can increase breast milk production.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a sensitive period that may predispose women to emotional and psychological changes. The loss of a fetus in utero, known as Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD), can result in severe psychological consequences, including grief, stress, and depression. However, research examining psychological interventions for women experiencing IUFD remains limited. This study aims to provide an overview of psychological interventions for mothers who experience Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD). This review employed a scoping review approach using three databases: PubMed, EBSCO, and ScienceDirect. The article selection process followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The search keywords included pregnancy or gestation, fetal death, IUFD, stillbirth, psychology, and nursing interventions. The inclusion criteria included peer-reviewed journals, English language publication, and RCT or Quasi-experimental studies. Based on the screening and eligibility process, seven articles met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that structured therapeutic approaches such as mind body group therapy, yoga, and art therapy are effective in reducing symptoms of depression and stress, while also enhancing self-acceptance and quality of life. Future research is recommended to integrate psychological, social, and spiritual approaches into nursing practice to support the emotional well-being of mothers following fetal loss.

Abstract

The incidence of breast cancer in young women is increasing globally and nationally, as the disease affects individuals under 40. This condition creates complex, multidimensional needs. Despite high prevalence, specific research on supportive care for this age group remains limited. Unidentified needs risk decreasing quality of life and increasing patients' economic burden. This study aims to identify the supportive care needs of young women with breast cancer. A literature search was conducted via PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO (2020-2025) using keywords “Young Adults,” “Breast Neoplasms,” and “Supportive Care.” Inclusion criteria were limited to full-text articles in English or Indonesian focusing on breast cancer patients under 50. From 807 identified articles, title/abstract screening and full-text eligibility assessment were performed using the PRISMA Flow Diagram 2020, resulting in 5 final articles for review. Data were extracted and analyzed using narrative synthesis. Results showed that unmet supportive care needs include health systems and information, psychological, sexual, and physical and daily activity domains. In conclusion, young women with breast cancer have various crucial supportive care needs requiring further attention in healthcare. Therefore, studies with more representative sample sizes and stronger designs are recommended to formulate targeted interventions.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide and is associated with multidimensional burdens throughout the disease trajectory, including diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Beyond physical symptoms, women with breast cancer frequently experience psychosocial problems such as anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and impaired quality of life, which may persist even after active treatment and influence treatment adherence and long-term outcomes. Conventional psychosocial support is typically delivered through face-to-face interactions; however, access to such services is often limited by geographical, temporal, and resource-related constraints. Telehealth has emerged as a promising approach to support psychosocial care by utilizing information and communication technologies to deliver health services remotely. In the context of breast cancer, telehealth encompasses various modalities, including mobile health applications, web-based platforms, teleconsultations, text messaging, and remote monitoring systems. Recent developments also indicate a growing integration of artificial intelligence, such as chatbots and conversational agents, to enhance information delivery and emotional support. This narrative review aims to critically discuss the role of telehealth in providing psychosocial support for women with breast cancer. Relevant literature was identified through searches of major scientific databases and analyzed descriptively to explore psychosocial challenges, telehealth concepts, and potential benefits for mental health and patient engagement. The findings suggest that telehealth may contribute to improved access to psychosocial support, enhanced coping, and increased patient involvement in care, although evidence remains heterogeneous across intervention types and outcomes. Telehealth should be considered a complementary approach within holistic breast cancer care, with careful attention to individual needs, digital literacy, and implementation context.

Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is a common problem among adolescent girls and may negatively affect daily activities, emotional well-being, and academic performance. Various non-pharmacological approaches have been explored to manage menstrual pain with minimal side effects, including the consumption of dark chocolate, which contains magnesium and bioactive compounds associated with pain modulation and neuromuscular relaxation. However, evidence regarding structured dark chocolate consumption in early adolescent populations, particularly within school-based settings in semi-urban areas of Indonesia, remains limited, and optimal dosing schedules and implementation under nursing supervision have not been sufficiently explored. This study aimed to examine the effect of dark chocolate consumption on the reduction of primary dysmenorrhea pain intensity among adolescent girls. Methods: A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 30 seventh-grade female students who experienced primary dysmenorrhea. Participants consumed dark chocolate consumption with ≥70% cocoa content at a total dose of 30 grams per day, divided into three intakes per day, for two consecutive days during the first and second days of menstruation. Pain intensity was measured using a numerical rating scale before the first consumption (pretest) and after completion of the intervention (posttest). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess changes in pain intensity following the intervention. The findings demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain intensity within the study sample. The mean pain score decreased markedly from 6.13 prior to the intervention to 3.70 after dark chocolate consumption, reflecting a transition from moderate to mild pain levels among most participants. Wilcoxon signed-rank analysis confirmed that this reduction was significant (p < 0.05), indicating that the observed improvement represented a consistent and meaningful change across the sample rather than random variation. Dark chocolate consumption was associated with a significant reduction in primary dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls. These findings support the use of dark chocolate as a simple, acceptable, and low-risk non-pharmacological intervention.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants aged 0–24 months because it contains nutrients, antibodies, and enzymes that are essential for growth and immunity. The WHO and UNICEF recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months because it has been proven to improve infant development and protect against disease. However, many mothers experience obstacles such as delayed production and blocked milk ducts. One effective non-pharmacological solution is warm compresses, which work by increasing blood flow and the release of prolactin and oxytocin hormones, therapy facilitating milk production and secretion. This literature review aims to examine the effectiveness of warm compresses on milk production in postpartum mothers. The method used was a scoping review guided by the PRISMA Extension for. Scoping Review, using the PICO search strategy. Literature searches were conducted through the Pubmed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases, as well as a manual search on Google Scholar for the period 2021-2025.the results of the study showed that interventions to facilitate breast milk massage and warm compresses, traditional Thailand massage, steamed ginger extract, with warm compresses, warm compresses for breast milk stagnation, warm compresses for smooth breast milk flow, warm compresses for breast production, warm compresses for reducing breast milk stagnation. From the selection results, seven relevant articles were obtained. The application of warm compresses to the breasts of postpartum mothers has been proven to be an effective, safe, and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological nursing intervention in increasing milk production and facilitating milk flow in postpartum mothers. It hoped that future researchers can conduct further research on interventions or other methods to increase breast milk production.
