Abstract

Background: Emesis gravidarum is a discomfort that occurs in mothers during early pregnancy. If emesis gravidarum is not adequately managed, children are more likely to experience stunting. There may be negative impact on health from stunting. Stunting is a health problem that is still the government's current focus. Kundalini yoga is a physical activity that focuses on breathing, so it is hoped that it can divert nausea. When the nausea disappears it will be increase appetite so  it can impact to a person's nutritional intake, which can be seen from an increase in MUAC and body weight. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether kundalini yoga is associated with increased MUAC and body weight in women who have emesis gravidarum. Method: This study used a pre-test and post-test control group design as a quasi-experiment that provided kundalini yoga intervention for 15 minutes every day for 30 days. The study population comprised 20–35 year old pregnant women experiencing mild–moderate nausea and vomiting throughout the 1st trimester of their pregnancy. Using the total sampling technique, samples were collected. In this study, body weight gain (BW) and upper arm circumference (MUAC) were the dependent variables, whereas kundalini yoga was the independent variable. The tools used are body measuring tape and body scales. The independent t-test used to examine variations in body weight and upper arm circumference. Result: In the intervention group, the MUAC addition was 0.096 cm, while in the control group, it was 0.012 cm (p = 0.08). Weight gain was 0.512 kg in the control group and 0.952 kg in the intervention group (p = 0.096). Conclusion: Kundalini yoga was not significant in increasing MUAC and body weight.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women must be watched out for because it can cause pregnancy complications. The prevalence of pregnant women worldwide who experience anemia is 41.8% and in Indonesia in 2018 it reached 48.9%. The main cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Iron can be obtained from local food ingredients, one of which is seaweed. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of seaweed dodol consumption on hemoglobin levels of pregnant women in the second trimester with anemia. Method: This study was a pre-experimental design with a pre-test post-test with control group design. The population was all pregnant women in the second trimester in the Bululawang Health Center work area, Malang Indonesia. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 30 people, divided into 15 people in the control group (Fe tablets) and 15 people in the treatment group (Fe tablets and seaweed dodol). Data analysis used the Independent Sample T Test. Result: The results of the Independent Sample T Test in the treatment group with the control group obtained a p value = 0.040 <0.05, meaning that there was a difference in hemoglobin levels after the intervention between the control group and the treatment group, with the average hemoglobin of the treatment group (11.36 gr / dl) greater than the average control group (11.01 gr / dl). Conclusion: Seaweed dodol can be used as an effective non-pharmacological therapy to accompany Fe tablets to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia.

Abstract

Background: Emotional behavior in children is rarely addressed through early screening, despite its importance in child development. The family plays a central role; however, prior studies vary in the family aspects they examine, with some factors receiving more attention than others. This review aims to synthesize which family-related determinants are most frequently studied about children’s emotional behavior. Method: A literature search was conducted using the keywords “family” AND “child*” AND “emotional OR behavior” AND “internalizing OR externalizing,” limited to English-language, full-text, open-access articles published between 2020 and 2025. Databases included ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The PICO framework guided the research question. A total of 1,449 articles were initially identified. Elicit (elicit.com) was used to assist the screening and selection process. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven articles were eligible for review. Result: The seven studies examined various family-related factors influencing children’s emotional and behavioral outcomes. Recurring themes included parenting style, family conflict, parenting stress, parental mental health, and family structure. Supportive parenting, consistent routines, and a positive emotional climate were associated with better emotional regulation, while harsh discipline, conflict, and poor parental mental health were linked to greater emotional and behavioral problems. Some studies identified mediating or moderating factors such as resilience, sleep quality, and neural responses, reflecting the complex interplay between family environments and child development. Conclusion: Children’s emotional and behavioral development is shaped by multiple interrelated family factors. Interventions should be multidimensional, addressing parenting practices, caregiver mental health, and household stability to support child well-being.

Abstract

Background: The age of menarche is getting younger, yet many elementary students are not prepared in terms of knowledge and attitudes. Comic media as an interactive educational method can increase understanding about menarche in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Objective: To analyze the effect of comic media on improving knowledge and attitudes about menarche in fifth-grade elementary school girls. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design in the treatment (comic) and control (lecture) groups using total sampling of 66 fifth-grade girls who had not experienced menarche. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. Results: There was a significant increase in knowledge in the comic group (p=0.000). Although not statistically significant, there was a positive increase in attitudes in the comic group compared to lectures. Conclusion: Comic media is effective in increasing knowledge and potentially improving the attitudes of elementary school girls regarding readiness for menarche.

Abstract

Background: Gross motoric skills are essential abilities during preschool children's development, involving significant body movements such as running, jumping, and maintaining balance. One traditional Indonesian game, called “engklek”, is believed to support the development of children's gross motor skills. A lack of gross motor stimulation can negatively impact the child's growth and development. Therefore, it is crucial for parents, teachers, and guardians to ensure children engage in activities that stimulate gross motoric skills. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental design, specifically using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population consisted of 39 preschool children, with 36 respondents randomly selected through simple random sampling. The instrument used in this study was the traditional game of ”engklek” to collect data, with pre-tests and post-tests conducted to measure the respondents' ability to lift their legs according to their age. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with significant results (p < 0.005).Results: The final results showed that stimulation using the traditional “engklek” game positively impacted the gross motor development of preschool children aged 5 to 6 years at Al-Amin Kindergarten in Kediri City. Discussion: This study will highlight the importance of paying attention to gross motor stimulation in preschool children, including through traditional games like “engklek”. It will also emphasize the need to monitor children's gross motor development according to their age to ensure optimal progress
