Abstract

Introduction: The ability of mothers to supply adequate nutrition is closely linked to the nutritional support given to children aged 6-24 months who experience stunted growth. A mother's responsibilities can be fulfilled through her skills, confidence, and ability to perform tasks and ensure proper nutrition for children aged 6-24 months who are experiencing stunted growth. The objective of this research was to explore the connection between how mothers feed their children and the nutritional health of kids aged 6 to 24 months.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional correlation analysis utilizing height-for-age z-score tables from the World Health Organization alongside the Infant and Young Children Feeding Practice and Structure Questionnaire. A total of 76 participants were chosen through a cluster random sampling method from five district health centers in Malang Regency. The data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test.Results: The findings indicated a significant association between the mother's capability to meet the nutritional needs of children aged 6-24 months who are stunted (including breastfeeding, food preparation and processing, complementary feeding, responsive feeding, and adherence to stunted therapy) and their nutritional status (measured by upper arm circumference and minimal weight gain), with a p-value of less than 0.05. Additionally, the mothers were responsible for implementing feeding practices.Conclusion: Maternal feeding practices are linked to the nutritional status of children aged 6–24 months who are stunted. This connection is evident in aspects such as breastfeeding, food preparation and processing, complementary feeding, responsive feeding, and adherence to stunting therapy, which relate to nutritional indicators like minimal weight gain and upper arm circumference. However, other indicators did not show a correlation between breastfeeding, food preparation and processing, responsive feeding, and adherence to the nutritional status of stunted children, specifically regarding upper arm circumference.Keywords: feeding practice; maternal; nutritional status; stunted

Abstract

Introduction: Domestic violence (DV) is a highly distressing manifestation of gender disparity and a significant worldwide issue affecting women. Exploring the life narratives of domestic violence survivors provides valuable insights into their journey and resilience, encompassing their experiences from childhood/adolescence through marriage to eventual separation from the abuser. Objective: This study is a narrative research endeavour that seeks to investigate the narratives of women who have endured domestic violence. Methods: This study was qualitative study with narrative approach, included four participants who exhibited variations in their work position and education level. The research employed thematic story analysis as its analytical approach. Results: The study yielded three primary themes: the development of personality through parental care, coping strategies and survivor behaviour in the face of violence, and resilience following separation from the perpetrator. The study findings indicated that women who were brought up under authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles showed greater resilience in the face of domestic violence and in the aftermath of parting from the abuser, as compared to women who experienced permissive and 'uninvolved' parenting. Conclusion: This study suggests that the main preventative measures for domestic violence should commence with early childhood parenting. This encompasses the practice of authoritative parenting, inculcating egalitarian ideas, and promoting self-empowerment. Keywords: domestic violence; parenting; resilience

Abstract

Introduction: Premature infants often experience delays in developing oral feeding skills essential for their growth. This may be due to immature motor development and physiological instability. Inconsistent definitions of feeding cues can also affect the quality of care provided. Therefore, a concept analysis of feeding cues in premature infants is necessary to clarify definition and improve the accuracy of care to meet their needs. This study aimed to clarify the concept of feeding cues in premature infants.Methods: The Walker and Avant concept analysis method was used. A literature search was also conducted from five databases: PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar for 2000 and later.Results: The literature search obtained 20 articles on feeding cues from various disciplines. Eight attributes were developed from the concept analysis, including (1) behavioral and physiological signs, (2) readiness to feed, (3) transition and awareness ability, (4) hand and mouth movements, (5) effective sucking and swallowing, (6) self-regulation, (7) behavioural changes, and (8) facial expression. Antecedents to feeding cues include infant physiology, infant’s level of consciousness changes, infant motor and reflex development, respiratory stability and health status, and availability of feeding resources. Consequences include timely and appropriate feeding according to infant’s needs, infant’s self-regulation, infant’s comfort and stability, development of a positive caregiver-infant relationship, and balance of energy intake and growths.Conclusion: The concept analysis provides eight comprehensive attributes and their antecedents and consequences, emphasising the importance of understanding feeding cues in premature infants. This understanding can guide nursing care, enhance early feeding interventions, and support the growth and development of premature infants to enhance the quality of nursing care in this group.Keywords: concept analysis; feeding cues; premature infants

Abstract

Background: The maternal role is the process of learning and achieving maternal behavior. It is important to identify and support mothers' role perceptions.The first version of the Maternal Role Perception Scale consists of 28 items. Objective: This study was conducted to develop a short form of the Maternal Role Perception Scale. Method: This methodological study was conducted in a hospital between September 01, 2021 and November 26, 2021. In this study, the sample consisted of 279 mothers between the ages of 18 and 45 who consented to participate in the study. The validity and reliability of the scale were analyzed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS and AMOS demo programs. Results: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, the Maternal Role Perception Scale-Short Form consisted of 15 items and two factors explaining 53.875% of the total variance. After the application, 13 items with item loadings below 0.45 were removed from the scale. The item-total correlation of the fifteen-item Maternal Role Perceptions Scale-Short Form was between 0.348 and 0.724, and the Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.896. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the short form of the scale consisting of two factors. As a result of the analysis, the Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index and the Goodness of Fit Index were found to be adequate. Conclusion: The Maternal Role Perception Scale-Short Form, which consists of fifteen items and two factors, is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to measure mothers' maternal role perceptions.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in geographically isolated regions like Southwest Papua, where cultural practices and socioeconomic factors contribute to high prevalence rates. The Moi ethnic group in Sorong Regency faces unique barriers, including food taboos, limited nutritional diversity, and inadequate breastfeeding practices, which conventional interventions often fail to address effectively. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the Family Transcultural Module (FTM) on family care practices and support systems for stunting treatment among the Moi ethnic group in Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua.Methods: A community-based intervention study with a pre-post design was conducted from January to May 2024 across five districts in Sorong Regency. A total of 132 Moi families with children aged 0-24 months at risk for stunting were recruited using purposive sampling and equally assigned to intervention (n=66) and control (n=66) groups. The intervention group received the Family Transcultural Module with educational leaflets, while the control group received only the FTM. Data were collected at baseline (pre-test), immediately after intervention (post-test 1), and one month following intervention (post-test 2) using standardized questionnaires measuring parenting practices and family support. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the Mann-Whitney U test with a significance set at P-value< .05.Results: Most mothers in both groups were aged 31-40, with limited formal education and high employment rates (77.3% intervention, 78.8% control). Both intervention approaches demonstrated significant improvements in parenting practices (from a mean of 9.80±4.90 at baseline to 16.96±4.90 at post-test 2, P-value< .001, Cohen's d=1.46) and family support scores (from 27.96±12.04 to 40.73±14.85, P-value< .001, d=1.06). Within-group improvements demonstrated large effect sizes, while between-group comparisons revealed small to negligible effect sizes (d= .02- .35). No significant differences were found between the intervention and control groups at any measurement point, suggesting comparable effectiveness of the core FTM component regardless of supplementary educational materials.Conclusion: The Family Transcultural Module effectively improved parenting practices and family support among Moi ethnic families, demonstrating the importance of culturally-adapted interventions for stunting prevention in indigenous communities. The FTM successfully addressed key behavioral determinants of stunting despite challenging socioeconomic contexts by engaging with existing family structures and cultural values. These findings suggest that culturally-embedded, family-centered approaches can overcome specific implementation barriers and potentially contribute to sustainable stunting reduction in vulnerable populations.Keywords: stunting prevention; family transcultural module; indigenous health; parenting practices; family support; moi tribe

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Teenage pregnancy poses significant maternal and neonatal health risks, often compounded by delayed antenatal care, inadequate nutrition, and limited knowledge. Promoting healthy practices such as regular antenatal attendance, balanced nutrition, hygiene, adequate rest, exercise, and self-care is vital to improving pregnancy outcomes among adolescents. This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of a Teenage Parenthood Package (TPP) on maternal and fetal outcomes and explored the lived experiences of teenage mothersMethods: A mixed-method design with an explanatory sequential approach was adopted. In Phase I, a quasi-experimental study was conducted among 30 teenage mothers (15 experimental, 15 control) selected through purposive sampling at the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chennai. The Teenage Parenthood Package—comprising trimester-based antenatal education, BMI-specific dietary counseling, exercise demonstrations, and psychosocial guidance—was administered to the experimental group. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, Pearson’s correlation, and chi-square tests. Phase II involved qualitative exploration using in-depth interviews analyzed through Colaizzi’s method.Results: The Teenage Parenthood Package significantly improved knowledge, dietary practices, and labor outcomes among teenage mothers. Although maternal–fetal attachment showed no significant difference between groups, qualitative findings revealed challenges including stigma, lack of familial support, and postpartum emotional distress. Integration of both data sets emphasized the value of structured, nurse-led interventions.Conclusion: The Teenage Parenthood Package effectively enhanced maternal knowledge, dietary practices, and labor outcomes, underscoring the importance of comprehensive, adolescent-centered interventions to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes and psychosocial well-being.Keywords: teenage mothers, maternal outcome, fetal outcome, experience of pregnancy, teenage parenthood package

Abstract

Introduction: Childhood stunting represents a major global health challenge affecting 149 million children under five years worldwide. Exclusive breastfeeding has been identified as an important protective factor in stunting prevention, yet empirical evidence regarding this relationship in Indonesian primary healthcare settings remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding history and stunting occurrence among children aged 7-59 months at UPTD Loa Ipuh Primary Healthcare Center.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 120 mothers with children aged 7-59 months in the UPTD Loa Ipuh catchment area, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. Consecutive sampling was employed for participant recruitment. Data were collected through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire. Chi-square tests were used to determine the association between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting occurrence.Results: Of 120 participants, 58.3% of children received exclusive breastfeeding while 41.7% did not receive exclusive breastfeeding. The overall stunting prevalence was 50.0%, with 12.5% severely stunted and 37.5% stunted. Chi-square test results demonstrated a statistically significant association between exclusive breastfeeding history and stunting occurrence (P-value = .01). Children who did not receive exclusive breastfeeding showed higher prevalence of severe stunting (22.0%) compared to those who received exclusive breastfeeding (5.7%). Conversely, children who received exclusive breastfeeding had a higher proportion of normal nutritional status (58.6%) compared to those who did not receive exclusive breastfeeding (38.0%).Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding proves to be a significant protective factor against childhood stunting, with up to four-fold reduction in severe stunting risk. These findings support the importance of exclusive breastfeeding promotion as a cost-effective intervention in stunting prevention, though it should be integrated within holistic approaches that comprehensively address multiple determinants of stunting.Keywords: exclusive breastfeeding, stunting, nutritional status, children under five, primary healthcare

Abstract

Introduction: Postnatal growth failure is common among low birth weight (LBW) infants, impacting their childhood catch-up growth and development. This study aimed to identify factors associated with postnatal growth failure at hospital discharge among LBW infants. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, examining medical records of LBW infants from July 2023 to 2024 at seven hospitals in Indonesia. Records included infants with birth weights under 2500 grams treated in SCNU and/or NICU, excluding those with incomplete data, readmissions, or referrals. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses identified factors related to postnatal growth failure.Results: The study reviewed 161 LBW infants to identify growth failure factors at discharge. Most were preterm, with 65.2% delivered by cesarean section. Significant risk factors included gestational age (OR 4.215; P-value .002), birth growth category (OR 6.155; P-value .006), and nasal oxygen history (OR 2.869; P-value .023). Preterm infants had a 4.2 times higher risk of growth failure, while small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants had a 6.2 times higher risk than appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants. The length of hospitalization and type of nutrition showed no statistical significance.Conclusion: Preterm and SGA infants are at higher risk of postnatal growth failure at discharge. Enhancing family-centered care, nutritional support, infection prevention, and interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for improvement in SCNU/NICU.Keywords: low birth weight, growth failure, hospital discharge, postnatal, preterm infant

Abstract

Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health issue with lasting effects on maternal well-being and child development. However, limited empirical evidence exists on the psychosocial, demographic, and clinical determinants of PPD among urban populations in Southeast Asia. This study aimed to identify psychosocial, demographic, and clinical predictors of postpartum depression among mothers residing in Semarang, Indonesia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 168 postpartum women aged ≥17 years who had delivered a live infant and provided informed consent. Data were collected using validated tools, including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to assess depressive symptoms. Independent variables included maternal age, education, employment, parity, mode and place of delivery, medical history, obstetric complications, socioeconomic status, anxiety level, and perceived spousal and family support. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression were used to determine significant predictors.Results: The prevalence of mothers at risk of PPD was 50%. Logistic regression analysis showed that low education (OR = 7.18; 95% CI: 1.05–48.96; P-value = .044), moderate anxiety (OR = 5.52; 95% CI: 1.14–26.74; P-value = .034), limited spousal support (OR = .34; 95% CI: 0.15–0.80; P-value = .013), and lack of family support (OR = 6.15; 95% CI: 1.93–19.62; P-value = .002) were significant predictors of PPD.Conclusion: Psychosocial factors, particularly anxiety and insufficient social support, are key predictors of postpartum depression. Routine psychosocial screening and strengthened family-centered interventions are essential to reduce the risk and long-term impact of PPD.Keywords: depression postpartum; edinburgh postpartum depression scale; risk factors

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period in sexual decision-making, where sexual intention and self-control play a significant role in preventing risky behaviors. Valid and reliable measurement tools are essential for assessing these psychological constructs within specific cultural contexts. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Youth Sexual Intention Questionnaire (YSI-Q) and Self-Control Scale among adolescents in Indonesia.Methods: Five experts reviewed two sets of questionnaires. The cross-sectional pilot study was conducted with 403 adolescents. The YSI-Q and Self-Control Scale were translated and culturally adapted following standardized guidelines. The psychometric evaluation included content validity and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha).Results: The content validation index of the Indonesian version of the Youth Sexual Intention Questionnaire and Self-Control Scale among adolescents was .900 and 1.000. Internal consistency was strong for YSI-Q (Cronbach’s α = .929) and the Self-Control Scale (Cronbach’s α = .828).Conclusion: The YSI-Q and Self-Control Scale exhibit strong reliability and validity, making them suitable for assessing adolescent sexual intention and self-control in research and clinical settings. Further validation in diverse adolescent subgroups is recommended.Keywords: adolescent, intention, psychometrics
