Abstract

Introduction: Miscarriage is a traumatic experience for the mother and can lead to stress due to lack of family and social support. This event can be harmful to the woman as it can lead to pregnancy trauma and more severe psychological disorders such as depression and suicide. Providing psychosocial support to women experiencing miscarriage can be a positive supportive care option.  This article aimed to identify psychosocial interventions to reduce stress levels in pregnant women with a history of miscarriage. Method: A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and SAGE Journal databases. Keywords used include psychosocial intervention, stress level, and pregnancy. Articles were selected based on the criteria of publication year 2017-2022, English language, randomized controlled trial research design and research results according to the topic. Results: The results obtained 6 articles that met the criteria. Psychosocial interventions to reduce stress levels in pregnant women with a history of miscarriage can be done through mindfulness therapy, supportive care, family support, brief supportive psychotherapy, cognitive narrative intervention, and happiness counseling programs. Conclusions: Psychosocial-based interventions can be used as supportive therapy to improve the psychological well-being of women with a history of miscarriage. Keywords: miscarriage; pregnancy; psychosocial intervention; stress level

Abstract

Introduction: Based on data from the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (SSGI), the prevalence of stunting in Gresik Regency is 23%, close to the prevalence rate of stunting in East Java of 23.5%. Despite the decline, stunting is still a challenge for the government. The Gresik Regency government is focusing on ten sub-districts as priority focus locations for reducing stunting, one of which is the Kebomas Sub-District. Therefore, the researchers analyzed the implementation of Remaja Sehat Cegah Stunting/Healthy Youth Posyandu Prevent Stunting (RS Centing) program, which focuses on educating youth about stunting. Methods: Pre-experimental research, with a population of 75 teenagers, was selected based on inclusion: (1) age criteria (17-21 years old), (2) respondents who actively participate in youth activities, and (3) live in areas focused on stunting. The sampling technique used simple random sampling, which obtained 64 respondents. The dependent variable is adolescents' level of knowledge and attitudes toward stunting”data analysis using simple linear regression analysis test. The research (1) gives a pre-test about knowledge and behavior for preventing stunting, (2) the "RS Centing” program provides assistance and outreach to young people in stunting focus locations. Then, (3) after assisting for three months, the team gave a post-test knowledge and behavior about stunting. The instruments used to conduct the research were questionnaires, pre and post-respondent knowledge, and behavior towards stunting, which would be given to respondents by Google link.Results: There was an influence of the RS Centing program on increasing knowledge (P-value <0.01) and attitudes (P-value <0.01) of adolescents in preventing stunting in Kebomas District, Gresik. Conclusion: The knowledge factor has the greatest influence (P-value 0.041, and relative value 0.000-0.376). Through this research, the Gresik Regency Government can optimize the RS Centing Program to reduce stunting in the Gresik Regency and achieve a stunting prevalence target of 10% in 2024. Keywords: attitudes of adolescents; knowledge; stunting

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents, driven by their curiosity, are often inclined to explore new experiences, including premarital sexual behavior. The prevalence of such behavior among teenagers increases the risk of unwanted pregnancies. A lack of comprehensive information on sexuality and reproductive health contributes to the likelihood of engaging in risky sexual activities. Peer educators are considered effective in delivering crucial information on these topics. This study aims to evaluate the role of peer educators in providing sexuality and reproductive health education to adolescents. Method: This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design, conducted at SMAN Taruna Nala Malang with a sample of 60 students. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, the Wilcoxon statistical test was used for analysis. Results: The statistical analysis yielded a P-value of 0.329, indicating no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results before and after the intervention. The lack of significance may be attributed to the peer educators' proficiency in delivering the information. Conclusions: There is a need to strengthen reproductive health education for high school students by integrating it into the academic curriculum. This approach can serve as an early intervention to prevent premarital sexual behavior among adolescents. Keywords: adolescent; peer educator; reproductive health; sexuality

Abstract

Introduction: The widespread availability of the internet, coupled with adolescents' natural curiosity about sexuality, has created avenues for accessing pornographic websites. However, this curiosity, when not tempered with self-restraint, can lead adolescents into the habit of watching pornographic films. One significant consequence of engaging in this behavior is its potential to influence pre-marital sexual activity among adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between attitudes toward and the frequency of watching pornographic movies and pre-marital sexual behavior among adolescents in Sidoarjo.Methods: The study employed a descriptive analytics approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 138 adolescents was selected using probability sampling, specifically the cluster simple random sampling method. Two research instruments were utilized: the Cyber Pornography Use Inventory (CPUI) for gathering data on porn-watching activity and the Adolescent Sexual Activity Index (ASAI) for collecting information on sexual behavior. The data were then analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation method.Results: The findings indicated that the majority of students in Sidoarjo exhibited a non-supportive attitude category (48.6%, n= 67), with low engagement in watching porn movies (44.2%, n= 61), and most teenagers demonstrated low/less risky sexual behavior (63%, n= 87). Moreover, the results revealed significant relationships between attitudes and sexual behavior (P-value <0.001) as well as between watching porn and sexual behavior (P-value <0.001).Conclusions: This research suggests the importance of parental and teacher involvement in guiding and supervising adolescents to prevent engagement in risky behaviors such as watching pornography and engaging in pre-marital sexual activity. By actively monitoring their children and providing guidance, parents and teachers can play a crucial role in minimizing such behaviors and promoting adolescent reproductive health through counseling and education.

Abstract

Introduction: Episiotomy-related perineal pain may significantly impact breastfeeding self-efficacy, influencing new mothers' ability to successfully initiate and maintain breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between MPQ-SF and postpartum BSES-SF scores. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at a maternity hospital in Istanbul and involved 208 volunteer mothers who had undergone an episiotomy during childbirth. Data were collected using a “Participant Information Form,” the “McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form,” the “Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form,” and the “Visual Analogue Scale.” The data were analyzed using a statistical program, with significance set at P-value < 0.05. Results: The average age of the mothers was 27.29 ± 5.88 years, with 44.7% experiencing their first childbirth. Severe perineal pain was reported by 9.1% of the mothers, and 35.6% indicated that this pain affected their ability to breastfeed. A significant relationship was found between perineal pain and both the McGill Pain Questionnaire score and breastfeeding self-efficacy score (P-value < 0.05). Additionally, there was a negative correlation between postpartum McGill Pain Questionnaire scores and postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy scores (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Postpartum perineal pain affected mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy. It is recommended to take measures to reduce perineal pain that negatively affects mothers' breastfeeding.

Abstract

Introduction: Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne, is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules, primarily affecting adolescents. Although not dangerous, it can be managed with both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, such as facial masks made from a combination of Moringa leaves and white rice flour. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Moringa leaf masks combined with white rice flour on the healing of acne vulgaris with two different dosages. Methods: This study used a two-group pre-post test design. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was employed to select 35 respondents. The independent variable was the administration of Moringa leaf masks combined with white rice flour, while the dependent variable was the healing of acne vulgaris in adolescents. The mask combinations used were 10 grams of Moringa leaves and 5 grams of rice flour, and vice versa. An observation sheet assessed the level of acne vulgaris severity. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney Test. Results: The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a P-value 0.083 for dose 1, indicating that the intervention had no significant effect on acne vulgaris healing between pre-test and post-test. However, dose 2 had a P-value 0.046, suggesting a significant effect in reducing acne vulgaris. The Mann-Whitney Test revealed a P-value 0.551, indicating no significant difference between dose 1 and dose 2 in the healing of acne vulgaris after the intervention. Conclusion: Both dosages of the Moringa leaf mask combined with white rice flour were effective in reducing the severity of acne vulgaris. Keywords: acne vulgaris; face mask; moringa leaves; rice flour

Abstract

Postpartum fatigue (PPF) is a pervasive and often underrecognized challenge affecting 45-95% of new mothers. This editorial explores the prevalence, impact, and management of PPF, emphasizing its far-reaching consequences on maternal health, mother-infant bonding, and family dynamics. The article highlights the critical role of nurses in addressing PPF through early identification, education, and support. Key strategies include proactive screening, promoting self-care practices, and advocating for comprehensive postpartum care. The importance of building strong support networks and referring mothers to appropriate specialists is underscored. By recognizing PPF as a serious health concern rather than an inevitable aspect of motherhood, healthcare providers can significantly improve outcomes for new mothers and their families. This piece calls for continued research and the development of patient-centered care strategies to effectively manage postpartum fatigue and support maternal well-being. Keywords: fatigue; maternal health; nurse’s role; postpartum fatigue
