Abstract

Antenatal Care (ANC) services play a crucial role in the early detection of pregnancy complications, prevention of maternal morbidity and mortality, and overall improvement of maternal and fetal health. High-quality ANC provides opportunities for healthcare providers to conduct screening, health education, and promotive as well as preventive interventions throughout pregnancy. However, its implementation in the field still faces challenges related to service completeness, continuity, and quality. This study aimed to assess the coverage and quality of Integrated Antenatal Care (ANC) services among first-trimester pregnant women at Lubuk Pakam Health Center. A quantitative descriptive design was used with a total sampling technique involving 120 respondents. Data were collected through structured interviews, direct observation, and document review of medical records. The results showed that 78.3% of mothers had attended ANC visits, but only 58.3% received the complete 10T standard services. Laboratory examinations (60%) and referrals (25%) remained below national standards. The dominant factors influencing ANC success were maternal knowledge, family support, and access to health facilities. Therefore, strategies to improve ANC quality should include strengthening laboratory and human resources, providing continuous staff training, and enhancing maternal and family education to ensure optimal and comprehensive antenatal care services.

Abstract

Uterine involution is an important physiological process after childbirth that indicates the recovery of the uterus to its normal size and function. However, suboptimal involution can cause serious complications in postpartum mothers. Non-pharmacological approaches, specifically postpartum exercise and oxytocin massage, are recognized for their potential to facilitate uterine involution. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of these two interventions among postpartum mothers at the Matahari Pratama Clinic. Adopting a quasi-experimental framework with a two-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 20 participants divided equally into two intervention groups. Uterine involution progress was systematically monitored both prior to and following the administration of either postpartum exercise or oxytocin massage. The results 1showed that before the intervention, 7 respondents (70%) experienced abnormal uterine involution. After being given postpartum exercise, the number of respondents experiencing normal uterine involution increased to 7 people (70%). Meanwhile, after oxytocin massage, 6 respondents (60%) showed normal uterine involution conditions. The findings suggest that both postpartum exercise and oxytocin massage significantly facilitate the acceleration of uterine involution. This effectiveness is statistically supported by a significance value of (p < 0.05), confirming that these non-pharmacological interventions are viable methods for enhancing postpartum recovery. However, postpartum gymnastics has been shown to provide more optimal results than oxytocin massage. Therefore, these two interventions are recommended to be implemented routinely in postpartum care as an effort to accelerate the process of uterine involution and prevent complications.

Abstract

Knowledge of pregnant women, especially primigravidas, plays a crucial role in preparing for childbirth. Lack of understanding can increase anxiety and the risk of complications. Leaflets are a practical, easy-to-understand, and self-study tool for health education. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using leaflets on knowledge about childbirth among primigravida mothers. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The sample was 77 primigravida mothers who underwent examinations at Lagaligo Regional General Hospital I, East Luwu Regency, in September 2024. The research instrument was a standardized questionnaire whose validity was tested. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate tests using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Before the intervention, 29 respondents (37.7%) had good knowledge, 25 (32.5%), and 23 (29.9%) had insufficient knowledge. After the intervention, good knowledge increased to 56 people (72.7%), sufficient knowledge decreased to 21 people (27.3%), and no respondents had poor knowledge. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference before and after leaflet distribution. Health education using leaflets effectively increased primigravida mothers' knowledge about childbirth. This media can be used as an educational tool in antenatal care to support safe childbirth. Further research using an experimental design with controls is recommended to evaluate the impact on childbirth behavior and readiness.

Abstract

Breast engorgement is a common problem in postpartum mothers, caused by milk stasis due to constriction of the lactiferous ducts or inadequate emptying of the mammary glands. In Indonesia, this condition affects approximately 10–20% of breastfeeding mothers, or around 2.3 million women. The 2024 Indonesian Health Survey reported an incidence of 24.8% among lactating mothers in North Sumatra Province. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cabbage leaf compresses in reducing breast engorgement among postpartum mothers at the Nining Pelawati Midwife Clinic, Lubuk Pakam District, in 2025. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was used. A total of 35 postpartum mothers experiencing breast engorgement were selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of cold cabbage leaf compresses applied twice daily for 20–30 minutes. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to compare engorgement levels before and after the intervention. Before treatment, most respondents experienced moderate (65.7%), severe (22.9%), and mild (11.4%) engorgement. After the intervention, engorgement levels decreased to mild in 65.7% of respondents, moderate in 28.6%, and severe in only 5.7%. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention conditions (Z = -3.140; p = 0.002). In conclusion, cabbage leaf compresses are significantly effective in reducing breast engorgement in postpartum mothers. This non-pharmacological method is recommended as a safe, simple, and cost-effective alternative for managing postpartum breast swelling.

Abstract

Neonatal jaundice is a common health problem in newborns due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood and has the potential to cause serious complications such as kernicterus. Globally, approximately 60% of full-term infants and 80% of premature infants experience jaundice in the first week of life. In the Special Region of Yogyakarta, 329 cases of neonatal jaundice were recorded in 2024. In addition to infant factors, maternal characteristics are also considered to play a role in the incidence of neonatal jaundice. This study aims to determine the correlation between maternal age, parity, and education level with the incidence of neonatal jaundice at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Yogyakarta. Methods: This quantitative study employed an observational analytical design and a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained from newborn medical records, including maternal age, parity, education, and jaundice incidence. Analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with Fisher's Exact Test. The results showed that physiological jaundice was more common in infants of mothers aged 20-35 years (57.6%) and highly educated (48.5%). Pathological jaundice was more common in infants of mothers of high-risk age (42.4%). There was a significant association between maternal age and the incidence of neonatal jaundice (p = 0.006). However, there was no association between education level (p = 0.491) or parity (p = 0.363) and the incidence of neonatal jaundice. It is recommended that further research include other variables and increase the sample size for more comprehensive and accurate results.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common problem among adolescent girls and can interfere with daily activities. One non-pharmacological therapy is pineapple juice, which contains bromelain enzyme as a natural anti-inflammatory agent. This study aimed to determine the effect of pineapple juice on menstrual pain intensity among adolescents at SMA Nusantara Lubuk Pakam. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest without control group approach. The sample consisted of 30 adolescent girls experiencing menstrual pain selected using purposive sampling. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after intervention. The intervention was the administration of 250 ml pineapple juice for 3 days during menstruation. The results showed that the mean pain intensity before intervention was 6.2 (SD=1.1) and decreased to 3.1 (SD=1.0) after intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant effect of pineapple juice on reducing menstrual pain intensity. In conclusion, pineapple juice is effective as a non-pharmacological therapy to reduce menstrual pain in adolescents.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical phase in a woman's reproductive life, characterized by physical and psychological vulnerability due to hormonal changes, the postpartum recovery process, and adaptation to the new role as a mother. This condition often triggers postpartum anxiety, which, if not properly managed, can affect the mother's mental health and the quality of childcare. Complementary interventions such as facial acupressure (totok wajah) and lavender aromatherapy have been widely recommended due to their relaxation mechanisms that help reduce emotional tension. This study aimed to determine the effect of facial acupressure and lavender aromatherapy on reducing anxiety levels among postpartum mothers at Grandmed Hospital Lubuk Pakam. The research design used was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 28 postpartum mothers selected through a total sampling technique. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using a questionnaire instrument. Data analysis was conducted using the Shapiro–Wilk test and the Wilcoxon test because the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05).The results showed that before the intervention, respondents were categorized as having mild anxiety (35.7%), moderate anxiety (42.9%), and severe anxiety (21.4%). After the intervention, 35.7% of respondents no longer experienced anxiety, 42.9% were categorized as having mild anxiety, and 21.4% had moderate anxiety, while severe anxiety was no longer found. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference between anxiety levels before and after the intervention.Physiologically, facial acupressure promotes relaxation through stimulation of acupressure points, while lavender aromatherapy, which contains linalool and linalyl acetate, works by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. Therefore, the combination of these two interventions is proven to be effective as a non-pharmacological method for reducing anxiety in postpartum mothers.
