Abstract

Background: Incidence rates of Dysmenorrhea is average over 50% worldwide, with Indonesia reporting 55% and East Java specifically showing a prevalence of 71.3%. Dysmenorrhea can reduce sleep quality and have an impact on changes in a person's mood which will cause stress, depression and anxiety. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of self-accupressure guidance on reducing primary dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescent girls. Method:. This was a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study population comprised all 66 female students at Manbail Futuh Vocational School. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select participants who met specific inclusion criteria.This selection process resulted in a sample of 18 adolescent girls. Participants received standardized self-acupressure guidance. The intervention involved a structured guidance session followed by a period where participants were encouraged to practice self-acupressure daily during their menstrual cycle. Pain intensity was measured using a validated numerical rating scale (NRS) before the intervention and after the intervention, specifically during their subsequent menstrual period. The effectiveness of the self-acupressure guidance was assessed by comparing the pretest and posttest pain scores. Result: The results of the Wilcoxon test using SPSS For Windows software with a level of significance obtained p-Value  0.001 < 0.05. Based on the above, it is proven that there was an influence of self-accupressure guidance on reducing primary dysmenorrhea pain experienced by young women. Conclusion: Self-acupressure guidance was effective in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. This research can be used as one of the interventions in treatment other than using drugs.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding remains low globally, with only 44% of infants receiving it during the first six months. One contributing factor is low Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy (BSE). In Indonesia, 56% of mothers have low BSE due to inadequate education, limited family support, and psychological challenges. Animated video-based education is considered effective in increasing BSE among pregnant women, potentially enhancing exclusive breastfeeding success. This study aimed to examine the effect of breastfeeding preparation education using animation videos on BSE in third-trimester pregnant women at Tanah Kalikedinding Public Health Center, Surabaya, in 2022. Method: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and control group was used. Seventy-four pregnant women (37 per group) were selected through consecutive sampling and met inclusion criteria: gestational age 28–36 weeks, single healthy pregnancy, ability to use WhatsApp, Google Forms, and Zoom, and willingness to participate. Exclusion criteria included serious medical conditions or hearing/vision impairments. The intervention group received an animated video titled “Manfaat ASI dan Persiapan Menyusui” (5 minutes/day for 3 days), along with Q&A and video sharing. The control group was directed to read breastfeeding material from the KIA book. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests via SPSS25. Result: Results showed a significant increase in BSE in the intervention group (mean increase = 4.97) compared to a decrease in the control group (mean decrease = 2.49), with p = 0.000. Conclusion: In conclusion, animated video-based education effectively improves breastfeeding self-efficacy and may support the success of exclusive breastfeeding programs.

Abstract

  Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive syndrome affecting 3–8% of pregnancies worldwide, involving multiple organ systems, and typically occurring after 20 weeks of gestation. In Surabaya, 1,265 cases were reported in 2023. Optimal prevention of preeclampsia is achieved through early screening at 11–13 weeks of gestation during antenatal care. Maternal knowledge and awareness are essential determinants of timely screening, as non-adherence to antenatal care has been associated with insufficient understanding of pregnancy management, delayed recognition of complications including preeclampsia and chronic conditions, and has ultimately contributed to the persistently high rates of preeclampsia and maternal and neonatal mortality in Indonesia. The aim was to analyze factors influencing pregnant women’s knowledge regarding preeclampsia screening. Method: This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, using a purposive sampling method. This study involved 91 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria: women in the first to third trimester of pregnancy who had attended at least two antenatal care visits. A structured questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test to examine the relationship between educational level and parity experience and the pregnant women’s level of knowledge regarding preeclampsia screening. Results: The study included 91 pregnant women as respondents. 56 % respondent had secondary level of education, 52% respondents were moderate parity and 52 % respondents demonstrated good knowledge, Showed significant associations between education level (p < 0.001) and parity (p = 0.031) with knowledge of preeclampsia screening. Conclusions: That demographic factors and reproductive experiences influence maternal knowledge. Therefore, education on preeclampsia screening should be tailored to maternal characteristics, and the active involvement of healthcare providers is essential to support comprehensive, holistic, and sustainable midwifery care.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in adolescent girls is a global and national public health problem that is receiving increasing attention due to the high nutritional needs during growth and iron loss during menstruation. Preliminary data from wetland areas, particularly in Sungai Alang Village, Banjar Regency, shows a prevalence of anemia of 23.54%. This study aims to analyze risk factors associated with anemia in adolescent girls, including age, education level, nutritional knowledge, dietary behavior, and nutritional status based on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and Body Mass Index (BMI). Method: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach in 50 adolescent girls aged 12–24 years selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained through questionnaires and hemoglobin level measurements using an Hb meter. Analysis was performed using Spearman's rho correlation test and multivariate linear regression. Result: The results showed a prevalence of anemia of 34%, exceeding the threshold for a moderate public health problem according to the WHO. Bivariate analysis found a significant negative correlation between age and Hb levels (r=-0.405; p=0.004) and a significant positive correlation between MUAC and Hb levels (r=0.373; p=0.008). Meanwhile, knowledge, BMI, and dietary behavior did not show a significant correlation. Multivariate analysis identified age (β=-0.459; p=0.000), MUAC (β=0.599; p=0.000), and BMI (β=-0.354; p=0.033) as significant independent predictors. Conclusion: The results confirmed that anemia in adolescent girls is influenced by physiological factors and anthropometric status, while knowledge and dietary behavior do not play a direct role. Therefore, preventive interventions need to be carried out holistically through supplementation, targeted nutrition education, and other supporting health programs.

Abstract

Background: Menarche is the first sign of maturity of the female reproductive organs that requires both physical and psychological readiness. However, in reality, many adolescent girls are not yet physically and mentally prepared when experiencing their first menarche. This lack of readiness often causes problems such as fear, embarrassment, anxiety, and inappropriate behavior in maintaining personal hygiene. It occurs due to limited knowledge about menstruation and the lack of support and open communication from the family, especially the mother. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support and menstrual knowledge with menarche readiness among elementary school students. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 40 female students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test (p < 0.05). Results: The results showed that most female students had suboptimal family support (60%), low knowledge of menstruation (52.5%), and were not ready to face menarche (75%). There was a significant relationship between family support (p-value= 0.001) and knowledge of menstruation (p-value = 0.001) and readiness to face menarche. Conclusion: Family support and good knowledge can improve adolescents' physical and mental readiness for menarche. Collaboration between families, schools, and health workers is needed to provide reproductive health education from pre-puberty age.
