Abstract

Abstract Background: Pregnancy induced Hypertension (PIH) is a significant cause of maternal and fetal death. Although, the intervention approach that takes into account physical and psychological conditions is not yet optimal. This study aims to determine the efforts of relaxation technique therapy on the difference in heart rate dan oxygen saturation level (SpO2) in pregnant women with hypertension. Method: This study used a cross-over design. A total of 36 pregnant women with third trimester hypertension obtained by random sampling technique were given bed rest therapy for 5 days 1 x 20 minutes and given relaxation therapy for 5 days 1 x 20 minutes. Bedrest is a health treatment where the client lies in bed certain period of time and relaxation therapy is techniques involve tensing and relaxing muscles in sequence which is a psychological mechanism that connects the mind and body. Measurements using a pulse oximeter. Data were analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The results of the study showed a significant difference in relaxation technique therapy and bed rest therapy on reducing in normal heart rate (P <0.001) and oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) with P < 0,05. The average decrease in heart rate and increased oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) was greater in the relaxation technique therapy group and the confounding variables have no effect on either. Conclusion: Relaxation techniques can reduce heart rate and increased SpO2 to optimal in pregnant women with hypertension. Relaxation techniques can be a complementary therapy in midwifery care for pregnant women with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety and depression are the most common mental disorders in the peripartum period. Therefore, this study will examine more deeply the treatment of anxiety through physical activity in pregnant women. In Indonesia, there are 373,000,000 cases of anxiety that occur in pregnant women. A total of 107,000,000 or around 28.7% of these cases occur in pregnant women before the delivery process (RI, 2018). Therefore, this study will examine more deeply the management of anxiety through physical activity in pregnant women. Method: This study uses the Narrative Literature Review method, which begins with reading various relevant articles carefully, then summarizing, drawing conclusions, and identifying gaps that are relevant to the topic or research question. The article search used the following keywords: method AND managing OR reducing AND anxiety AND physical activity OR exercise OR yoga OR aerobic AND pregnant women. The inclusion criteria used in this research article are articles that discuss methods of managing anxiety through physical activity (all types of physical activity) in pregnant women. The articles used must be published in the range of 2020 to 2024 and fully accessible, and in Indonesian or English. The synthesis results found a total of 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Result: The review found that physical activity has positive benefits in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women. Physical activity can be an effective strategy in managing anxiety through the influence of hormones and various psychosocial mechanisms. Various types of physical activity, such as moderate exercise, strength training, and yoga, can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety through biochemical and physiological processes. Therefore, the recommendation given by practitioners to pregnant women is to engage in moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week.

Abstract

Background: Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage is one of the pregnancy complications which can cause vaginal bleeding, as well as a significant impact on women's psychology. The occurrence of spontaneous abortion is caused by several risk factors that need to be considered. This research is aimed to analyze risk factors related to spontaneous abortion in pregnant women at Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Method: The study used a cross-sectional approach. The population was women who checked their pregnancy at Dr. Soetomo Hospital who experienced spontaneous abortion and did not experience spontaneous abortion. The number of samples was 55 for the case group and 55 for the control group. Data were obtained from medical records at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Bivariate chi-square statistical analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed using SPSS software. Results: The risk factors found to be significant for the occurrence of spontaneous abortion were maternal age (p = 0.003), pregnancy interval (p = 0.005), and hemoglobin levels (p = 0.005). Meanwhile, the insignificant risk factors for the occurrence of spontaneous abortion were parity (p = 0.070) and body mass index (p = 0.525). The most dominant risk factor associated with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion was maternal age <20 or >35 years (OR = 6,769). Conclusion: maternal age, pregnancy interval, and hemoglobin level have been shown to be the significant risk factors for spontaneous abortion in pregnant women.

Abstract

Stunting is one of the health issues. Prevention efforts for stunting include interventions targeted at various life stages, such as adolescence and preconception. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of stunting prevention cards in enhancing the knowledge of adolescent girls to prevent stunting. Method: This study employed a Pre-Experimental Design with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design, involving a sample size of 50 respondents. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire consisting of 10 items, each with 4 multiple-choice answer categories, with a maximum score of 100 and a minimum score of 10. The questionnaire was distributed to all respondents before the game, and the time for questionnaire completion was 20–25 minutes (pre-test). Subsequently, respondents were given 10 minutes to read the explanations of categories found on the stunting prevention cards. Afterward, a game lasting 1 hour was conducted, followed by a question and answer session lasting 25–30 minutes. Finally, respondents were given a 30-minute break before being provided with the same questionnaire again, with a questionnaire completion time of 25–30 minutes (post-test). Data were processed and analyzed univariately and bivariate using the T-test. The research results were then presented in tables and narrative form. Result: The statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.000 or p < 0.05. This indicates that the stunting prevention cards significantly influenced the increase in the knowledge level of adolescent girls. Conclusion: The higher the level of knowledge among adolescents, the better they are at preventing stunting.

Abstract

Background: The Intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most widely used and effective long-term contraceptive methods, with a success rate exceeding 99%. However, prolonged copper IUD use has been associated with an increased risk of bacterial vaginosis (BV), with users reportedly 1.28 times more likely to develop BV than users of other contraceptive methods.This study aims to assess the association between IUD usage and the incidence of BV.  Methods: This cross-sectional analytic observational study included 50 participants using IUDs, recruited from three public health centers in Surabaya between May and December 2023. Vaginal swab samples from suspected BV cases were examined independently by two observers. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test to assess associations and Cronbach's Alpha to evaluate inter-observer reliability, with significance set at p < 0.05.  Results: Most BV cases were found among women aged 30–39 years (40%) and among users of non-hormonal IUDs (76%). Based on Nugent scoring, 26 participants (52%) were diagnosed with definitive BV. The association between IUD use and BV incidence was not statistically significant (p = 0.090). Inter-observer reliability was high, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.963. Conclusion: The study concludes that IUD use is not significantly associated with the occurrence of bacterial vaginosis, based on Nugent score evaluation.
