Abstract

Background: The preconception period is a crucial period to optimize maternal and fetal health. Preconception nutrition can affect nutritional status and mental health which has an impact on pregnancy readiness. This study aims to analyze the correlation between nutrition and nutritional status and mental health during the preconception period. Method: This study used a prospective cohort study involving women of childbearing age selected by stratified random sampling to obtain 129 respondents. Nutritional Style data were collected through FFQ questionnaires, nutritional status was measured through anthropometry and Hemoglobin examination, and mental health was measured using the DASS questionnaire. Data collection was carried out three times and analyzed using the Pearson correlation test, multiple linear regression and the Wilcoxon test for longitudinal analysis. Result: The results showed that there was no significant correlation between Nutritional Style and BMI (p-value>0.05). However, there was a significant correlation between Nutritional Style and the incidence of anemia, the strongest correlation in the first measurement (p-value 0.001) and the second measurement (p-value 0.049). A significant correlation was found between Nutritional Style and mental health, especially anxiety in the first measurement (p-value 0.022), the second measurement (p-value 0.006) and the third measurement (p-value 0.029), but not with stress and depression. There was a significant increase in nutritional status from the first to the second measurement (p-value 0.020) and the first to the third measurement (p-value 0.003). There was a significant decrease in anxiety from the first to the second measurement (p-value 0.034) and the first to the third measurement (p-value 0.000). Conclusion : Good Nutritional Style during preconception can improve nutritional status and minimize mental health risk. Nutrition intervention programs are needed to improve knowledge and implementation of healthy food nutrition. In addition, regular monitoring of nutritional status and mental health is also needed to optimize pregnancy readiness.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a symptom of a lack of red blood cells due to low hemoglobin levels. Based on the performance assessment report of the Tuban Regency Senori Community Health Center  East Java Indonesia in 2022, it was found that 36.65% of pregnant women experienced anemia. This shows that there are still many pregnant women who experience anemia and need treatment. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of spinach consumption on increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Method: quasi experiment with One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample in this study was 16 pregnant women with anemia in the Senori Community Health Center Tuban Regency East Java Indonesia, who met the inclusion criteria. The research instrument used an observation sheet to determine hemoglobin levels in the blood before and after consuming green spinach, an easy touch Hb level check tool. Data were analyzed using paired T-test. Result : The average Hb level of pregnant women before the intervention was 10.20 gr% and after the intervention was 11.18 gr%, the results of the paired t-test showed a significance value = 0.000, so the significance value (2-tailed) < α (0 .05) which shows that there is an effect of spinach consumption on increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Conclusion : There is an effect of spinach consumption on increasing Hb levels in pregnant women. Integrated ANC activities are expected to be carried out routinely so that pregnant women who experience anemia can be detected early and health workers can provide explanations to pregnant women about the dangers of anemia during pregnancy and the consumption of spinach and its benefits.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum mothers are vulnerable to mental health problems, including baby blues syndrome, which occurs in the first week. Baby blues syndrome has the potential to predict postpartum depression, and if left untreated, it can lead to more severe mental disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of postpartum maternal anxiety and the occurrence of baby blues syndrome at Universitas Airlangga Hospital. Method: This was a quantitative study with an observational analytic method and a cross-sectional design. The population in this study was mothers 1-2 days postpartum who were treated at Universitas Airlangga Hospital in December 2023. The study involved 33 postpartum mothers sampled using the consecutive sampling method. The instruments used were questionnaires, the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) to measure anxiety and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to measure symptoms of baby blues syndrome. The analysis method used was the chi-square test. Results: Respondents with anxiety without symptoms were 12 (36.36%), none of whom experienced baby blues syndrome. Out of 16 respondents with mild to moderate anxiety and experienced baby blues syndrome, one person (3.03%) did. And out of 5 respondents with severe anxiety and experienced baby blues syndrome, one person (3.03%). The p-value of 0.289 based on the chi-square test. Conclusion: The level of anxiety in postpartum mothers is not related to the incidence of Baby Blues Syndrome.

Abstract

Background: This comprehensive literature review investigates the outcomes of administering the BNT162B2 COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, focusing on transmitting antibodies through both the placenta and breast milk to infants. The study evaluates existing research findings to provide a nuanced understanding of the immunological implications for newborns born to vaccinated mothers. Methods: This literature review employed the PICO method to develop the review question, focusing on studies published between 2020 and 2023, identified through PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus using specific keywords related to antibody transfer, COVID-19 vaccine, neonatal immunity, and pregnancy. Result: Nine articles met the inclusion criteria. The review found that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy promoted transplacental antibody transfer to infants and the presence of antibodies in breast milk. Conclusion: The results of this study of the literature show that administering the mRNA vaccination in the latter half or third of pregnancy boosts IgA along with IgG levels through transplacental transmission or breastfeeding. BNT162b2 vaccination of mothers in the second trimester is recommended. Breastfeeding has advantages, but limited evidence suggests significant SARS-CoV-2 antibody transfer postpartum. Prospective mothers are urged to vaccinate pre-delivery and consider breastfeeding for antibody transfer.

Abstract

Background: Pain during menstruation that does not cause any abnormalities is called primary dysmenorrhea, while menstrual pain that is related to abnormalities in the pelvis is called secondary dysmenorrhea. According to data from WHO, 90% of women experience severe dysmenorrhea. The aim of this study was to find out the correlation between macronutrient intake, nutritional status, and age of menarche with primary dysmenorrhea in medical students at the University of Jember, Indonesia. Method: This type of research was carried out with a cross-sectional study design. The research was conducted online and carried out in December 2023-February 2024. Samples were taken using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The number of samples in this study was 79 pre-clinical female students. Data was obtained by respondents filling out Google Form and interviews via zoom to fill out the SQ-FFQ questionnaire. The analytical test used in this research is the Spearman test. Result: Correlation analysis showed there was no relationship between carbohydrate (p=0.518), fat (p=0.124) and protein (p=0.260) intake and primary dysmenorrhea. The correlation test of nutritional status with primary dysmenorrhea also produced a significance of 0.703 (p>0.05), which means there is no correlation. Correlation analysis of age of menarche with primary dysmenorrhea produced a significance of 0.003 (p<0.05), which means a correlation was found. Conclusion : No correlation was found between macronutrient intake and nutritional status and primary dysmenorrhea, and a correlation was found between age at menarche and primary dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Abstract Background: For newborns, especially in their early years of life, breast milk is the primary and optimal source of nutrition. Stress, anxiety, and fatigue are often experienced by mothers postpartum, which can affect the let-down reflex and breast milk production. Many breastfeeding mothers worry about their milk supply, it can make mental pressure and exacerbate the condition. Therefore, interventions aimed at reducing stress and increasing confidence in breastfeeding can help enhance milk production. Hypnobreastfeeding is one method that has started to gain recognition in recent years as an alternative approach to support the breastfeeding process. Hypnobreastfeeding  can establish mental environments that facilitate the release of oxytocin, which is essential for both the let-down reflex and the production of milk. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of hypnobreastfeeding on nursing moms' ability to produce breast milk. Method: Using a pre-test and post-test approach, this study uses a quasi-experimental design to assess how hypnobreastfeeding affects the production of breast milk. Purposive sampling was used to choose 25 nursing moms who had kids between the ages of 0 and 6 months for the research sample. Result: This study uses a quasi-experimental design to assess how hypnobreastfeeding affects the production of breast milk. Purposive sampling was implemented to choose 25 breastfeeding moms who had babies between the ages of 0 and 3 months for the research sample. This research showed a varying increase in breast milk production, with an average increase of around 30-35 ml every pumping. Conclusion: This study suggests that hypnobreastfeeding can help breastfeeding moms produce more breast milk.

Abstract

Background: The high maternal mortality rate is caused by a high risk of pregnancy. High risk is a condition that can endanger the mother and fetus and is associated with pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. 90% of maternal deaths are caused by obstetric risk complications and increasing 15% in mothers who have risk factors. Hypertension in pregnancy is a high risk for pregnant women and can be caused by several risk factors. Several risk factors of hypertension in pregnancy are age, history of hypertension, family support, and stress levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal age and the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy. Method: This research is a systematic review with inclusion criteria are Indonesian journal from 2020 – 2022, full article, and open access. Researchers will exclude any other journal not in Indonesian or English, not an open acces article and not a research study of mother’s age and hypertension in pregnancy. This research is a literature study using descriptive method and conducting journal searches on several scientific websites with keywords relationship, factors, age, and hypertension in pregnancy. Results: Based on a literature study of the 5 journals found, it was found most of the mothers are at risk of experiencing hypertension in pregnancy. Age at risk is more susceptible to experiencing hypertension in pregnancy, it is caused by the development of reproductive organs that are not optimal enough in mothers who are too young and degenerative processes in old mothers. Conclusion: Age at risk or < 20 years and > 35 years has a significant relationship with hypertension in pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: WHO ranked Indonesia as the third country with the highest prevalence of stunting in Asia. In Indonesia, 1 in 3 children under five is potentially stunted (26.6%) (Prendergast & Humphrey, 2014). Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by a long lack of nutritional intake. (Eka Kusuma & Nuryanto, 2013). In Indonesia, Centella is easy to get because it grows in the tropics. Benefits of Centella in addition to being a source of vegetable protein as well as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, nerve protectors, strengthening the brain nerves, making concentration and memory higher, and can prevent stunting. Preliminary studies show that 8 out of 10 children like processed healthy foods in the form of brownies, nuggets, crackers, and seaweed candies that Centella has added. Accounting nutritional facts from the healthy food Centella is the purpose study. Method: This research is an advanced study of exploratory study with a pre-experimental approach model one shoot case study. At this stage, this study used a laboratory test in the form of nutritional facts tests. Some of these tests will be conducted at the food engineering laboratory of Pasundan University Bandung. Result: The results show that the nutritional content in 1 cupcake brownie with 5 variants of toppings (choco chips, almonds, cheese, nuts, white chips) shows the content of Kkal/ 100 grams range from 319.97-322.44 Kcal, and the percentage of Calories Nutritional Rate Adequacy is 100 grams range from 16.00 - 16.19%. Conclusion : Therefore, Centella’s innovation as a healthy snack to overcome stunting growth in toddlers can be developed as a healthy natural product as one of the characteristics of Indonesian food.
