Abstract

Background: Insufficient breast milk production remains a major barrier to successful exclusive breastfeeding and may negatively affect infant weight gain. Therefore, efforts to enhance lactation using natural galactagogues are needed. Bangun-bangun leaves (Plectranthus amboinicus) are traditionally believed to increase breast milk production. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of bangun-bangun leaves combined with lemon on infant weight gain. Methods: quasi-experimental study with a posttest control group design was conducted among 30 breastfeeding mothers. The intervention group (n = 15) received bangun-bangun leaves combined with lemon in the form of brewed tea (200 ml/day) for 14 days, while the control group (n = 15) received no intervention. Moderating variables reflecting breast milk adequacy and the primary outcome was infant weight change, categorized as weight gain or no weight gain. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test due to the categorical data and small sample size.. Results: The analysis showed a statistically significant effect of the intervention on infant weight gain (p = 0.04). All infants (100%) in the intervention group experienced weight gain, whereas 33.3% of infants in the control group showed no weight gain. Conclusion: The combination of bangun-bangun leaves and lemon may serve as a potential natural galactagogue to support breast milk production and promote infant weight gain. These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the use of bangun-bangun leaves combined with lemon as a natural and accessible intervention to improve breastfeeding outcomes, although further studies with larger samples and objective measurements are needed.

Abstract

Background: Population control through family planning (KB) programs is crucial in improving the community's quality of life and women's reproductive health. A study on the prevalence of contraceptive use in Indonesia revealed that short-term contraceptive methods, particularly injectables, are the most commonly chosen by users. Various factors, including age, education level, employment status, and place of residence, influence this preference.Method: This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional design to analyze the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) data, focusing on the reproductive health component and using a sample of 70,649 women of childbearing age.Results: This study's results show that all variables that affect the use of contraceptives in women of childbearing age have a significant relationship with outcomes: age (p-value = 0.000), education (p-value = 0.000), occupation (p-value = 0.000), and residence (p-value = 0.000).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between all the factors studied and the choice of contraceptives in women of childbearing age in Indonesia. To increase the awareness of women of childbearing age in the use of contraceptives, the government needs to raise friendly, informative, and educational services, providing KIE to people experiencing poverty and those living in rural areas as an effort to increase public knowledge about family planning and improve reproductive health education and access to adolescent-friendly contraceptives to support adolescent health and welfare.

Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of mental health problems among adolescents underscores the importance of identifying contributing factors, one of which may be dietary patterns, particularly the rising consumption of ultra-processed foods. This study aims to explore the association between ultra-processed food consumption and mental health issues in adolescents.Methods: This study conducted in systematic literature review. A comprehensive search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, using the Scopus database to identify studies published between 2020 and 2025. Inclusion criteria focused on observational studies involving adolescents aged 10–19 years, examining the relationship between ultra-processed food intake (classified according to the NOVA system) and mental health outcomes.Results: Seven studies (n = 284,507) met the inclusion criteria, with six showing an increased risk of mental health problems linked to higher ultra-processed food consumption. One study revealed a bidirectional relationship, where academic stress was associated with increased fast food consumption.  Conclusion: Most included studies indicate that higher ultra-processed food consumption is associated with increased odds or risk of mental health problems among adolescents. In addition, one study reported a possible reverse pathway, suggesting that academic stress may be linked to greater fast-food consumption. Further longitudinal and mechanistic research is needed to clarify the causality and directionality, before specific intervention strategies can be recommended.

Abstract

A major reason for the high maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates is the disparity in healthcare services available to pregnant versus non-pregnant women. Preconception care encompasses various issues, including preventive medical practices and lifestyle changes. Factors such as age, history of antenatal care visits, parity, previous health conditions, and awareness of preconception care are known to affect the preconception care actions of women of childbearing age.This study aims to determine preconception care practices and the factors that influence them. This study is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at the Sangkrah Community Health Center, Surakarta. The research instruments were questionnaires on socio-economics and demographics, obstetrics, gynecology and health history, and preconception care practices. Data analysis used the Chi Square statistical test and logistic regression.The results showed that the variables of occupation (p=0.024) and level of knowledge (p=0.017) had a multivariate effect on the preconception care practices of pregnant women served at the Sangkrah Community Health Center in Surakarta, while the variables of education level, gravida, and parity had p-values >0.05. Prenatal care practices were 66.1% influenced by occupational and knowledge level factors, while the remaining 33.9% were influenced by other factors not examined in this study.The conclusion of this study is that the most significant factors influencing prenatal care practices among pregnant women served at the Sangkrah Community Health Center in Surakarta are occupation and knowledge level.
