Abstract

Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is a simple, effective, and independently performed method for early detection of breast cancer. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of female students regarding BSE implementation and to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with behavior. This study is a quantitative study with a descriptive analytical approach and a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 129 second-semester female students of the D-III Midwifery Study Program at the Gorontalo Ministry of Health Polytechnic, selected by total sampling. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge (65.9%), very good attitudes (57.4%), and supportive behavior in performing BSE (87.6%). The results of the ANOVA test showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.017) and attitudes (p = 0.009) with BSE behavior. It can be concluded that the better the knowledge and attitudes of female students, the more likely they are to have behaviors that support the independent implementation of BSE. Therefore, continuous health education interventions are needed to improve students' understanding and motivation in performing BSE regularly.

Abstract

Introduction: Childbirth is a daily miracle and a source of joy for families. To reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates, providing clean and safe delivery care is essential, including infection prevention. One method of infection prevention is decontaminating the partus set. Chlorine-based decontamination is commonly used but has drawbacks such as causing corrosion at low pH levels. Enzymatic solutions like Alkazyme offer an alternative for decontaminating delivery equipment. Objectives: This study aims to describe the decontamination of the partus set using chlorine and enzymatic Alkazyme as an infection prevention effort at Boja II Community Health Center. Methods: This was a descriptive observational study. The samples consisted of delivery instruments used in childbirth, selected through accidental sampling. The study focused on a single variable: the decontamination of partus sets using chlorine and enzymatic Alkazyme. Results: Decontamination using chlorine at Boja II Health Center showed bacterial presence of 315 CFU/cm² with an average of 52.5 CFU/cm². Meanwhile, decontamination using enzymatic Alkazyme resulted in 127.4 CFU/cm² with an average of 3.2 CFU/cm². Conclusions: Enzymatic Alkazyme leaves fewer bacterial residues than chlorine. Midwives can consider using enzymatic solutions as an alternative method for decontaminating partus sets.

Abstract

Background: pregnancy is a natural process that is accompanied by physical and psychological changes. These changes can trigger mental disorders such as anxiety, especially if they are not properly managed. These conditions can have an impact on the health of the mother and fetus. Objective: This study aims to identify the prevalence of anxiety in pregnant women in the city of Banjarmasin and analyze the relationship between age, parity, education, income, and employment with anxiety during pregnancy. Methods: this study uses a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design. A total of 33 participants were selected using purposive sampling technique. The data was collected using the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) instrument to measure anxiety events during pregnancy. Data analysis was conducted by Spearman Rank test to determine the relationship between the variables studied. Results: this study showed that as many as 66.7% of pregnant women experienced anxiety during pregnancy. In addition, there is a significant relationship between age, parity, education level, income, and employment status with the level of anxiety experienced. Conclusion: the results of this study suggest that performing anxiety screening during pregnancy is important to detect psychological disorders.

Abstract

Developmental stimulation refers to a series of activities aimed at promoting optimal growth and development in children. One of the factors influencing the success of child growth and development is the knowledge and ability of parents to detect early signs of development.  This research aimed to determine the effect of developmental stimulation education on the early detection of developmental milestones in children aged 0-5 years. The research method was a pre-experimental design using a pretest-posttest one group design approach. The subjects included 73 samples, with 17 samples aged 0-12 months, 18 samples aged 12-36 months, and 38 samples aged 36-30 months. Early detection ability was measured before and after education using the KPSP questionnaire as a reference. The results indicated that in the 0-12 month age group, there was a significant increase in early detection ability after receiving education (p1 = 0.001, p < 0.05). In the 12-36 month age group, a significant improvement was also observed (p2 = 0.001, p < 0.05), while the 36-60 month age group showed an increase after education (p3 = 0.001, p < 0.05). this study concluded that there was a significant effect of developmental stimulation education on the early detection ability of parents for children aged 0-5 years.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) is a condition of long-term malnutrition experienced by pregnant women and has an impact on maternal health and fetal development. In Gorontalo Province, the incidence of SEZ is still quite high, especially in the Limboto Health Center area, there are 199 cases of pregnant women who experience SEZ Incidents. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (SEZ) in pregnant women at the Limboto Health Center. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample totaled 288 pregnant women who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data was obtained through medical records and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the variables of parity (p=0.000), anemia (p=0.000), and ejaculation (p=0.000) had a significant effect on the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women. Meanwhile, age (p=0.070) and education (p=0.708) did not show a significant effect on the incidence of chronic energy deficiency (SEZ).  Parity, anemia, employment, affect SEZ, while age and education have no effect.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia remains at 63.9%, below the SDGs target 80%, largely due to non-optimal breast milk production. Non-pharmacological methods, such as oxytocin massage, may enhance milk production, and its effectiveness can be increased with lemongrass of oxytocin massage with lemongrass oil on breast milk production in postpartum women. This study was conducted in Tilongkabila subdistrict, Bone Bolango, using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group method, involving 24 postpartum women selected purposively and divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention was carried out for five consecutive days, involving measurement of breast milk volume using a manual pump and a self-report questionnaire for mothers. The Mann-Whitney analysis showed a significant increase in breast milk volume in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Mothers received oxytocin massage using lemongrass oil demonstrated greater and more consistent milk production, alongside improved relaxation and comfort. It can be concluded that oxytocin massage using lemongrass oil is effective in increasing breast milk production in postpartum women and can be recommended as a simple, affordable, and safe complementary therapy to support the success of the exclusive breastfeeding program.

Abstract

Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) is an important step to improve infant health and survival. This study aims to determine the correlation between maternal emotion regulation and husband support on the success of EBI. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design with a sample of 30 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. The research was conducted in June 2025. The instruments used were tested for validity and reliability, namely the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Postpartum Partner Support Scale (PPSS). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that most mothers had low emotion regulation (40%) and moderate husband support (56.7%). A total of 53.3% of mothers successfully performed EBI. There was a significant correlation between maternal emotion regulation (p = 0.003) and husband support (p = 0.036) with the success of EBI. Maternal emotion regulation and husband support play an important role in supporting the success of EBI.
