Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for babies from 0 to 6 months of age and continued until 2 years of age can promote healthy growth and development. According to the WHO, in 2020, if a child receives complementary foods before 6 months of age, their growth will be delayed, and the risk of diarrhea is 17 times higher and the risk of upper respiratory tract infection is 3 times higher. The problem of this study is that the rate of early complementary food distribution for babies aged 0–6 months is still high. This study aims to determine factors affecting early complementary feeding for babies from 0 to 6 months of age. Method: The design of this research is descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The research was carried out in July–September 2023 in Banaran Village, Kediri East Java, with a sample of 32 respondents consisting of mothers with babies aged 0–6 months who had been given early complementary feeding. Sampling is done by consecutive sampling. The variables in this study are factors that influence the provision of early complementary feeding for mothers with babies aged 0–6 months. Data was obtained through direct interviews with respondents using a questionnaire. Results: This study showed that the factors affecting early complementary feeding are socio-cultural factors with high category (81.3%), knowledge level factors with medium category (50%), personal factors with low category (87.6%) and promotional advertising for infant formula and baby food have medium category (71.9%). Conclusion: research results shows that the factors affecting early complementary feeding for babies from aged 0-6 months are socio-cultural factors, personal factors, and promotional advertising factors.

Abstract

Background: Preeclampsia-related maternal mortality is a persistent issue globally, including in Indonesia. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) recommends universal preeclampsia screening in obstetric services. In Indonesia's NTT Province, pregnant women are screened based on guidelines in the MCH book. Sikka Regency mandates midwives to use the KSPR and MCH manuals for risk factor screening In 2022, 154 out of 9,685 screened pregnant women exhibited signs of preeclampsia risk factors. Despite the reduction in maternal deaths in Sikka Regency, the number of deaths directly linked to preeclampsia increased from one in 2021 to four in 2022. Notably, at Watubaing Public Health Center, two cases of maternal death were specifically attributed to preeclampsia. This underscores a significant gap in midwives' perceptions and clinical practices, elevating maternal mortality risk. This study explores midwives' perceptions of preeclampsia screening. Method: Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach at Watubaing Public Health Center involved three informants selected through purposive sampling, meeting the inclusion criteria. Data collection, conducted from April to July 2023, comprised in-depth semi-structured interviews that were subsequently analyzed thematically. Results: Midwives' expressed divergent opinions on preeclampsia screening, yet a consensus prevailed on its crucial importance. Conclusion: Midwives' perceptions of preeclampsia screening in ANC services are significantly shaped by internal and external factors, including knowledge and experience.

Abstract

Background: One of the highest causative factors of neonatal death in Indonesia is low birth weight (LBW), around 7,150 (35.3%) cases. Even though the trend of LBW incidents in East Java is decreasing, in the city of Surabaya itself the death rate due to LBW has increased from 31 deaths to 51 deaths. Simomulyo Public Health Center was ranked first with the highest incidence of LBW in Surabaya with 45 cases in 2019. Even though there was a decrease in cases in 2020, the death rate actually increased from 1 death to 4 deaths. WHO (2017) defines LBW as babies born weighing ≤ 2500 gr. Nutritional status and parity are two of the many risk factors for LBW. Knowing the causal relationship with the occurrence of LBW is important to do at the public Health Center as a first step in preventing LBW in the future. Method: This research is quantitative with an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. Samples were taken using probability sampling techniques, namely random sampling. The total samples taken were 96 samples. Result: The results of the research was found that there was a relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of LBW with a value of p=0.005 (p<0.05) and the relationship between parity and the incidence of LBW with a value of p=0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: there is a correlation between nutritional status and parity and the incidence of LBW at the Simomulyo Public Health Center Surabaya.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Breastfeeding rates in Indonesia have decreased significantly in recent years. In 2021, less than half of babies in Indonesia (48.6 percent) were breastfed in the first hour of life, down from 58.2 percent in 2018. Only 52.5 percent were exclusively breastfed in the first six months, which is a decrease sharply from 64.5 percent in 2018. The success of breastfeeding is determined by several inhibiting and supporting factors, one of which is anxiety due to an episiotomy. Episiotomy is often performed to prevent more severe perineal tearing during labor, but there is controversy regarding the benefits and risks of episiotomy, as well as its impact on breastfeeding practices. Objective: To describe the perceptions and experiences of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding barriers and support in providing breast milk at 7 days postpartum at Airlangga University Hospital, Surabaya City. Method: This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach/Interpretive Phenomelogical Analysis (IPA). The method for taking subjects used purposive sampling. This research involved a total of 8 informants. The analysis method used is content analysis. Results: It was found that the perception of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding breastfeeding and their intention to breastfeed was still low. The experience of providing breast milk varies greatly and mothers tend to be physically and emotionally uncomfortable. Social support is very important for mothers' behavior in providing breast milk. There are physical and psychological barriers associated with episiotomy including pain, physical discomfort, anxiety about health and recovery so that breastfeeding behavior becomes disrupted.
