Abstract

The screening results at the Purwodadi II Health Center indicated an increase in cases of HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B in 2021-2022; specifically, HIV increased from 0 to 1 case, Syphilis from 0 to 2 cases, and Hepatitis B from 6 to 10 cases. In order to reduce the incidence rate, the government conducted screenings during the integrated ANC, which included a Triple Elimination examination consisting of HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B tests. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes of pregnant women about Triple Elimination at Purwodadi II Health Center. This research was conducted in the Purwodadi II Health Center area using a descriptive research design. The study population consisted of pregnant women who had not undergone the Triple Elimination examination at the Purwodadi II Health Center in 2023. The sampling technique involved accidental sampling of 79 respondents. The results showed that most pregnant women in the reproductive age category were healthy, had secondary education, and mostly were housewives and multiparous, with limited knowledge and negative attitudes towards Triple Elimination. Therefore, the health workers need to provide education about Triple Elimination to enhance the knowledge and positive attitudes of pregnant women in the future.

Abstract

The puerperium is a vital time for both mothers and newborns, marked by a heightened risk of complications, especially within the first 24 hours after delivery. This research aimed to assess the impact of health education through video media on increasing postpartum mothers' knowledge of puerperium danger signs at the Bunda Parakan Temanggung Clinic. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used, involving 30 postpartum mothers selected via accidental sampling. Data were gathered through pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, with both video and leaflet media used as educational tools, and analyzed with a t-test. The results showed that video media significantly enhanced mothers' knowledge, with 67% of respondents showing adequate understanding (p-value 0.003, mean difference 0.67), compared to 53% for the leaflet group (p-value 0.014, mean difference 0.46). These outcomes suggest that video media is more effective than leaflets in raising awareness about puerperium danger signs, and thus, it is advised that health education programs emphasize the use of video media to better inform postpartum mothers

Abstract

 The postpartum period is the period after childbirth. The postnatal phase contains several adaptations, but not all postpartum mothers can go through it well and this can have an impact on mental health. Therefore, the mental health of postpartum mothers is something that must be considered, especially postpartum mothers who are very vulnerable to baby blues and postpartum depression, considering that poor mental health in postpartum mothers can hinder the smooth flow of breast milk. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between mental health in postpartum mothers and the level of breast milk production in the Lewa Community Health Center working area, East Sumba Regency, NTT. This research was conducted at the Lewa NTT Community Health Center with a sample size of 30 postpartum mothers on days 1 to 10. This research used a correlation analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The instruments used were the EPDS questionnaire and the breast milk flow smoothness questionnaire. Bivariate analysis used the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that 19 (63.3%) respondents experienced moderate postpartum blues, and 21 (70%) respondents experienced irregular milk production. There is a relationship between mental health and the level of breast milk production in postpartum mothers with a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05). It is hoped that community health centers can increase outreach and counseling activities to provide information related to mental health and optimal health education for postpartum mothers.
