Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common condition among adolescent girls, characterized by physical and emotional complaints that can interfere with daily activities. In Indonesia, the prevalence of PMS is reported to reach approximately 85% among women of reproductive age, with 60–75% experiencing moderate to severe PMS. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pumpkin seed extract (Cucurbita moschata) in reducing PMS symptoms in adolescent girls. A quantitative approach was applied using a true experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study population consisted of adolescent girls experiencing PMS in the Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang area. A total of 42 respondents were selected using randomized clinical trial sampling and divided into three groups: intervention 1 (pumpkin seed extract 500 mg, twice daily), intervention 2 (500 mg, once daily), and a control group receiving 500 mg amylum tablets once daily for 10 days. The results showed that administration of pumpkin seed extract at a dose of 500 mg twice daily for 10 days produced the most significant reduction in PMS symptoms (p = 0.000; mean = 23.07). Pumpkin seed extract has potential as an effective natural therapy to alleviate PMS symptoms in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder during pregnancy that is a significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This condition is characterized by the appearance of high blood pressure after ≥20 weeks of gestation accompanied by proteinuria or other organ dysfunction, and often leads to serious complications if not detected early. Preeclampsia is also closely related to maternal conditions such as obesity, extremes of age, and other metabolic factors. These factors are important to understand because they provide direction for early prevention efforts and effective risk control. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal age and BMI with the incidence of preeclampsia in Boyolali in 2026. This study uses quantitative research with an analytical observational study design with a cross-control approach.. The study population was all pregnant women in the working area of Klego I, II, and Karanggede Health Centers. Sampling in this study used total sampling, namely 202 respondents. The research instrument was a summary sheet. The results of this study found a relationship between maternal age with the incidence of preeclampsia (p value = 0.001) and BMI (p value = 0.000) The age variable has a probability of approximately 2.3 times greater of experiencing preeclampsia compared to BMI.s The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between age and BMI with the occurrence of preeclampsia.

Abstract

Low coverage of K6 antenatal visits remains a concern as it affects the quality of maternal health services and early detection of pregnancy complications. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing the low coverage of K6 antenatal visits among pregnant women. This quantitative observational study used a cross-sectional design with total sampling involving 43 third-trimester pregnant women, conducted from August to October 2025, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed a significant association between occupation, parity, education, knowledge, accessibility, and husband’s support with the frequency of K6 antenatal visits (p < 0.05), while age, availability of health facilities, as well as perceptions and cultural factors were not significantly associated. Individual, environmental, and social factors play an important role in determining compliance with K6 antenatal visits, indicating the need for comprehensive intervention strategies to improve antenatal care coverage.

Abstract

The postpartum period requires integrated physical and psychological care; however, interventions that simultaneously address breast milk production and postpartum depression through culturally grounded approaches remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Tontholo cultural practice in increasing breast milk production and preventing postpartum depression among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted over one month involving 38 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling and divided into intervention (n=19) and control (n=19) groups; data were collected using breast milk production observation sheets and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and analyzed using t-test with a significance level of p<0.05. The intervention group demonstrated a significantly greater increase in breast milk production compared to the control group. Moreover, a more substantial reduction in EPDS scores was observed in the intervention group, indicating improved maternal psychological well-being. In conclusion, Tontholo represents an innovative culture-based complementary model that integrates biological and psychosocial mechanisms to enhance lactation and reduce postpartum depression risk.

Abstract

Adolescent pregnancy is a reproductive health issue in many countries, including Indonesia, and poses risks to both mother and baby. Early-age pregnancy increases health complications, highlighting the need for prevention through reproductive health education and improved access to adolescent-friendly services. This study aimed to develop an Android-based application, “Kepo Remaja,” as an educational tool to prevent adolescent pregnancy. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) design with the ADDIE model and was conducted in Central Maluku, Indonesia, involving adolescent students and health workers as prospective users. Validation involved five material experts and two media experts. A needs analysis identified key features, including assessment, health monitoring, consultation services, and educational materials. The application was developed and evaluated by experts. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with a Likert scale. Results showed that material experts rated 94.26% and media experts 94.31%, both categorized as excellent. In conclusion, the Kepo Remaja application is user-friendly, engaging, and feasible as an educational medium, with potential to support adolescent reproductive health programs and assist students, health workers, and policymakers in preventing adolescent pregnancy.

Abstract

Social media has become the primary platform for adolescents, especially girls, to connect, express themselves, and obtain information. However, easy access often triggers Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), leading to constant use that increases stress and anxiety. Persistent stress interferes with hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH), contributing to irregular menstrual cycles. This cross‑sectional analytical study at the Midwifery Department, Sutomo Campus, Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya, used simple random sampling among 215 first‑year students, with FoMO as the independent variable and menstrual cycle status as the dependent variable. FoMO was measured using the FoMO scale, cyclical patterns via questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. FoMO levels were categorized based on means and standard deviations; cycles were classified as normal or abnormal. Results showed that 58% of participants had high FoMO and 65.58% experienced abnormal cycles. Logistic regression revealed that higher FoMO was strongly associated with abnormal menstrual cycles (p < 0.001), with elevated FoMO carrying about 6.191 times greater odds of menstrual irregularity compared to lower FoMO. The findings support integrating psychosocial interventions into student health services, including routine FoMO screening and digital wellness workshops, to reduce menstrual disturbances and promote adolescent reproductive health in the digital age.
