Abstract

Background: Prenatal exercise is believed to enhance third-trimester sleep quality in expectant mothers, promoting physical well-being and preparing them for childbirth. This study aimed to analyze the effect of prenatal exercise on sleep quality in pregnant women during the third trimester.Methods: This study is quantitative and quasi-experimental, employing a non-randomized one-group pretest-posttest design. This research was conducted at the Marista Sinaga Midwife Practice, Simpang Talas, Siak Regency, Riau Province, in 2024. The research was conducted in June 2024. The subjects of this research were all third-trimester pregnant women who presented for treatment at the Marista Sinaga Midwife Practice; a total of 30 participants were recruited through purposive sampling. The intervention in this study was prenatal exercise. Pre-and posttests assessing sleep quality were administered before and after the prenatal exercise. Sleep quality was measured using a questionnaire. The data analysis stage began with calculating the frequency distribution of respondent characteristics and the mean sleep quality score. Data analysis used a paired t-test because the data were normally distributed.Results: The average sleep quality score before the intervention was 3.93; after the intervention, through prenatal exercise, it increased to 8.50. Prenatal exercise significantly affected sleep quality in pregnant women in the third trimester (p = <0.001)Conclusion: Prenatal exercise significantly affects sleep quality in pregnant women in the third trimester

Abstract

Background: Propolis from stingless bees Heterotrigona itama(H.itama) is a promising natural product with diverse biomedical applications. However, its bioactivity and antioxidant for wound healing remain poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate phytochemical profile, and antioxidant activity of H. itama propolis collected from land forest in Kalimantan, Indonesia.Methods: Qualitative phytochemical screening was performed to identify secondary metabolites, and antioxidant capacity was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay with ascorbic acid as a reference standard. The result of the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity will be compared with the literature study on wound healing.Results: Phytochemical tests showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenolics, triterpenoids, terpenoids, and DPPH assay revealed  antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 159.91 ppm compared to 2.71 ppm for ascorbic acid.Conclusion: H. itama propolis biologically active, demonstrating  antioxidant potential linked to its phenolic and flavonoid content. These findings support that phytochemical content and antioxidant activity are  potentials for wound healing.

Abstract

Background: Problems with growth and development disorders continue to increase every year. The low ability of parents to conduct early detection of their child's growth and development results in delayed early interventions that could be carried out. Parenting patterns also determine the appropriateness of a child's growth and development. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of early detection and parenting patterns of children aged 0-6 years.Method: This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. The informants involved in this study numbered 13 people who are mothers of children aged 0-6 years from 10 sub-districts in the city of Bengkulu. The information obtained from the informants includes sources of information, the implementation of early detection, knowledge, and parenting patterns in children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document reviews, and observations. The data were analyzed using the narrative analysis method to determine the extent of the implementation of early detection and parental parenting patterns in children aged 0-6 years.Results: Research results show that not all parents obtain information about early detection of child growth and development. Early detection is not conducted continuously according to the child's age stage. Children are generally cared for by their mothers and some of the informants use gadgets in the caregiving process. Children with growth and development disorders are still found.Conclusion: Early detection of child growth and development is still not being implemented, and child care is centered on the mother, with the use of gadgets in the caregiving process. As an effort to optimize child development stimulation, health workers are expected to provide more intensive education to parents, and there is a need for innovative guides for growth and development detection that are easier to use.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a critical period in human development, characterized by the physiological and psychological interactions between the mother and the fetus. During this period, the mother plays an essential role in supporting fetal growth and development until childbirth. In the third trimester, pregnant women must be aware of potential danger signs that may indicate pregnancy-related complications. This study aimed to explore mothers’ perceptions of danger signs during the third trimester of pregnancy.Methods: A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The study population consisted of 28 third-trimester pregnant women, from whom seven participants were selected as the study sample. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. The study was conducted at the Independent Midwifery Practice of Hj. Sesmera, located on Jalan Aluminium IV, Tanjung Mulia, Medan City, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out from May to August 2024.Results: The findings revealed three major themes: mothers’ perceptions regarding the recognition of danger signs, management of danger signs, and sources of information related to danger signs during the third trimester of pregnancy. These themes were further categorized into several subthemes.Conclusion: Mothers’ perceptions of pregnancy danger signs were influenced by multiple sources of information, including healthcare providers, family members, technology, and the community. Among these factors, support from family and healthcare professionals emerged as the most influential in shaping mothers’ perceptions and enhancing their awareness of danger signs during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents undergo rapid physical, psychological, and intellectual growth and development, which can affect their health. Various health issues such as dysmenorrhea, anemia, acne, and digestive disorders are commonly experienced by adolescents, influenced by biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors, requiring appropriate attention and management. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of avocado juice as a non-pharmacological therapy to address health issues among adolescent girls at GPIB Shalom in Depok City.Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test format. The study population consisted of 25 adolescent girls experiencing dysmenorrhea at GPIB Shalom in Depok City, selected using purposive sampling.Results: The univariate test results showed a decrease in the average dysmenorrhea pain from 4.28 to 2.56, an increase in hemoglobin levels from 9.816 g/dL to 10.700 g/dL, a reduction in skin health issues from 6.44 to 4.320, an improvement in skin moisture from 34.090 to 38.160, and a better bowel movement pattern from 2.320 to 3.64. The bivariate test results showed significant differences for all variables, with a p-value of 0.000 for dysmenorrhea pain (Z = -4.532), hemoglobin levels (t = -6.449), skin health issues (Z = -3.758), skin moisture (t = -8.839), and bowel movement patterns (Z = -4.562). This indicates that the administration of avocado juice has a positive effect on all tested variables.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the consumption of avocado juice significantly reduces dysmenorrhea, increases hemoglobin levels, improves bowel movement patterns, maintains skin moisture, and reduces skin health issues in adolescent girls. The provision of avocado juice has the most significant impact on dysmenorrhea.
