Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a critical contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women affected by anemia are at an elevated risk of experiencing postpartum hemorrhage, a condition that can be life-threatening. The primary cause of anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency. Preventive strategies can be significantly improved through educational interventions that enhance maternal knowledge and promote positive attitudes toward the importance of adequate nutritional intake during pregnancy. Method: This research utilized a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study examined age, parity, and adherence to iron supplement consumption as independent variables, while the dependent variable was the occurrence of anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy. A total sampling technique was employed, Primary data were collected through questionnaires, maternal and child health (KIA) records, and laboratory test results. The data collected were analyzed using the Chi-square statistical test. Result: Among the participants, 53.3% of pregnant women aged 20–35 years were found to be anemic (n = 16). However, Chi-square analysis indicated no statistically significant association between age and anemia status (p = 0.645). Similarly, analysis of parity revealed a p-value of 0.214, suggesting no significant correlation. In contrast, compliance with iron tablet intake showed a statistically significant relationship with anemia incidence; 60% of non-compliant women (n = 18) were anemic, and the Chi-square test produced a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant association (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between age or parity and the incidence of anemia in third-trimester pregnant women. However, adherence to iron supplementation is significantly associated with anemia status, highlighting the importance of compliance in preventing anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Menopause represents a significant health issue affecting millions of women globally, with 75-85% experiencing disruptive symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and increased risks of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Centella asiatica contains phytoestrogens and antioxidants that may substitute for estrogen function in the body and help reduce physiological and psychological symptoms during menopause. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Centella asiatica in reducing physiological and psychological symptoms during menopause. Method: This study employed a descriptive design. Data were collected cross-sectionally from 85 respondents experiencing physiological and psychological changes associated with menopause, residing in Bireuen District and distributed across 18 community health center service areas. Data collection was conducted from July to September 2025, through random sampling. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to determine menopausal women understanding of centella asiatica and its effectiveness in reducing menopausal symptoms. Results: Centella asiatica was found to be effective in alleviating both physiological and psychological changes in menopause. Centella asiatica was found to be effective in alleviating various physiological changes associated with menopause. Specifically, it improved skin health and reduced aging-related problems (64.7%), enhanced blood circulation (62.3%), supported cognitive function (51.7%), alleviated bone-related problems (88.2%), and reduced sleep disturbances or insomnia (73.0%). In addition to alleviating physiological changes during menopause, Centella asiatica was also effective in reducing psychological symptoms, particularly by decreasing anxiety and stress (68.2%) commonly experienced by women during this transitional period. Conclusion: Centella asiatica demonstrates effectiveness in mitigating physiological and psychological changes during menopause, and thus may serve as an alternative solution to reduce menopausal symptoms.

Abstract

Background: Aromatherapy is recognized as an effective, safe, and natural method for alleviating nausea-vomiting in pregnancy. The most prevalent physiological discomforts encountered during early gestation is nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), frequently termed "morning sickness." The manifestation of NVP is significantly influenced by fluctuating hormonal levels, particularly an elevation in Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG).  This study aimed to analyze the impact of an inhaler stick combining peppermint and citrus aromatherapy on the frequency of these symptoms in first-trimester pregnant women. Method:  This was one-group pretest-posttest design utilized. The study included 28 first-trimester pregnant women, selected by simple random sampling. Participants used an aromatherapy inhaler stick containing 3 ml peppermint and 1 ml citrus, inhaled three times daily for 10 seconds per inhalation. Nausea-vomiting frequency was measured using the PUQE-24 questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Result: The demographic analysis revealed that the largest age cohort comprised individuals aged 20–35 years (42.9%), while the majority of respondents were primigravida (42.9%). Regarding the intervention, a significant shift in symptom severity was observed. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), demonstrating a statistically significant impact of the peppermint and citrus aromatherapy inhaler stick on reducing the frequency of nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women. Conclusion : The use of aromatherapy inhaler sticks combining peppermint and citrus is successful in alleviating nausea and vomiting among women in early pregnancy. This aromatherapy technique offers a safe, natural, and easily applicable non-pharmacological alternative therapy.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition in which toddlers fail to thrive due to malnutrition for a long time so that their stature tends to be shorter than normal toddlers their age. Brides-to-be are one of the spearheads in stunting prevention efforts. The education and knowledge of the bride and groom are very influential on these efforts. The government's effort is to raise public awareness and knowledge through premarital guidance. The implementation of guidance needs to be ensured to include stunting material. The purpose of scooping is to identify the effect of premarital guidance on stunting knowledge in prospective brides. Method: The research method used is scooping review. Scooping Review is a literature review with a structured view, used to answer questions with similar research article sources. Articles were selected using inclusion criteria, scientific journals, original research, in English and Indonesian, published in a period of time (2019–2023). Article search using 1 database and 1 search engine obtained 211 articles,   Pubmed 45 articles and Google Scholar 166 articles. Results: From 10 articles, 3 themes were obtained including the influence of premarital guidance on the knowledge of prospective brides, obstacles that occur during guidance and media used during guidance. Conclusion: Premarital guidance is very important in an effort to increase the knowledge of the bride and groom. The most basic thing to achieve the successful implementation of guidance is to foster public awareness and motivation of the bride and groom in following the guidance process.

Abstract

Background: LBW and asphyxia are the two main causes of neonatal death in Indonesia. Babies of preeclampsia mothers are at risk of developing LBW due to impaired blood flow to the placenta which increases the risk of asphyxia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between LBW and asphyxia in infants from preeclampsia mothers. Method: Observational research with a retrospective approach with a population of 473 babies born at Islamic Hospital in Malang Indonesia. Samples were taken using purposive sampling techniques with a total sample of 49 babies from preeclampsia mothers. Data were obtained from medical records with instruments in the form of checklist sheets or observation sheets and analyzed using the Spearman test with an alpha of 0.05. Results: The majority of babies had normal birth weight, and some experienced LBW as many as 16 babies (32.7%) and VLBW 2 babies (4.1%). Most of the infants experienced mild asphyxia in 42 infants (85.7%), with a small percentage experiencing moderate to severe asphyxia. The results of the Spearman test showed a significant relationship between LBW and asphyxia (p = 0.002; r = 0.433) with moderate relationship strength and positive relationship direction. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the lower the baby's birth weight, the higher the risk of asphyxia, especially in mothers with preeclampsia. It is recommended to healthcare workers to carry out early detection and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies to prevent neonatal complications such as LBW and asphyxia.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum danger signs must be understood and known by mothers who have just given birth as a precautionary measure, as well as to obtain rapid treatment. The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia reaches 60% during the postpartum period, and around 50% of deaths in the postpartum period occur in the first 24 hours. Mothers with low levels of knowledge have a greater risk of experiencing health problems. The use of interesting educational media tools can accelerate changes in the mother's understanding, emotions and skills. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all postpartum mothers residing in the working area of the Purbaratu Public Health Centre, Tasikmalaya City, during the period of May-June, totalling 42 individuals. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling approach, resulting in a sample size of 42 respondents. The data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test. Result: Based on The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant increase in knowledge following the intervention. The mean pretest score was 20.26 ± 3.54, which increased to 24.98 ± 2.51 in the posttest, and this difference was statistically significant (ρ = 0.000). These findings indicate that providing TABANI (Postpartum Danger Signs) education through animated video and poster media effectively improved the knowledge of postpartum mothers in the Purbaratu Health Centre working area in 2025. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that providing educational information on TABANI (Postpartum Danger Signs) through audio-visual media and posters has proven effective in enhancing the knowledge of postpartum mothers. Therefore, TABANI (Postpartum Danger Signs) education can be used as a more efficient alternative in improving the knowledge of postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Background: The estimated occurrence and mortality rates of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors in Indonesia in 2016 were 6,337 and 5,405, respectively. Based on medical record data from Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, for the period of 2017-2021, there were 1,192 meningioma patients. The manifestation of meningioma linked with age and is 2.3 times higher in women than in men. Sex hormones are considered one of the risk factors for meningioma development. The medroxyprogesterone injectable contraceptive is the most widely used type of contraception in Indonesia. The majority of contraceptives used by meningioma patients at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital during the 2012-2016 period were hormonal contraceptives of the progestin-only type. This study aims to analyze the association between the history of using progestin-only injectable hormonal contraception and the odds of cerebral meningioma among female patients at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, during the 2020-2024 period. Methods: This study uses a retrospective case-control approach. The sample size was 30 subjects for the case group (cerebral meningioma) and 30 subject for the control group. The control group (Non-Cerebral Meningioma) is maintained, but these limitations are acknowledged in the discussion. An independent variable is a 3-month history of injectable contraceptive use (progestin-only), which is defined in more detail by duration and recentness. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The research instrument utilized was electronic medical records. The data analysis uses the Chi-square and Multivariate Binary Logistic Regression tests to calculate the Adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) with a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: The results indicated a highly significant association between the history of 3-month injectable contraception use and cerebral meningioma incidence (p < 0.001). Further stratification analysis revealed an adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) of 6.00 (95% CI: 1.17–30.73) for the history of exposure and 1.58 (95% CI: 1.08–2.30) for the duration of use. Although the risk estimates adjusted during stratification, both factors remained statistically significant risk indicators. Conclusion: The data suggest a strong association between a 3-month history of injectable contraceptive use with greater odds of developing cerebral meningioma.

Abstract

Background: Continuity of midwifery care supports comprehensive monitoring during pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and the neonatal period. Labor pain is a physiological process requiring safe, evidence-based management. The Rebozo technique is a non-pharmacological intervention that may reduce labor pain and improve maternal comfort. This article aims to describe the application of the Rebozo technique within continuity of midwifery care to support maternal and neonatal outcomes. Method: This study used a descriptive case report with continuity of midwifery care approach on one woman during August–October 2025 from the third trimester to six weeks postpartum in a primary midwifery care setting. The Rebozo technique was applied during labor for non-pharmacological pain management. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation review. Labor pain intensity was assessed before and after the intervention using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale. Result: During pregnancy, the woman experienced anemia and received daily iron supplementation of 60 mg with nutritional education. Pubic bone pain was relieved through warm compresses and the Rebozo technique. During labor, Rebozo application reduced the pain scale from 6 to 3, with a labor duration of two hours from onset and healthy maternal and neonatal outcomes. The postpartum period progressed normally, while neonatal physiological conditions were managed through education and breastfeeding support. Conclusion : Continuity of midwifery care enables early detection and management of maternal and neonatal conditions. The Rebozo technique demonstrated a clinically meaningful reduction in labor pain; however, careful application is required during rapid labor progression.
