<![CDATA[Pregnancy anemia is a pathological state defined by elevated plasma fluid volumes during gestation, leading to hemodilution and a hemoglobin concentration falling below 11 grams. The nutritional status of the mother is paramount for both maternal and fetal health, which is often assessed through Body Mass Index (BMI). Indonesia has been documented as the nation with the highest incidence of anemia, with data from basic health research indicating that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women reached 48.9% in 2018. The incidence of anemia in pregnant women, particularly in Yogyakarta, showed an increase to 16.5% in 2021. This research seeks to elucidate the correlation between Body Mass Index and the frequency of anemia cases among pregnant women at the Community Health Center Sleman. The study employs a correlational analytical method with a retrospective design. The target population for this investigation comprised pregnant women in their second and third trimesters who underwent pregnancy assessments between November 2022 and October 2023, totaling 348 participants. The sampling strategy implemented was probability sampling, specifically random sampling with proportional allocation, resulting in 80 respondents, with the data analyzed via chi-square statistical methods. The findings of this study yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the incidence of anemia among pregnant women at Puskesmas Sleman. It is recommended that pregnant women engage in a minimum of four prenatal consultations and prioritize their nutritional intake to mitigate the risk of anemia]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting represents a pathological condition characterized by impaired growth and developmental progression, primarily attributed to chronic malnutrition, which is frequently aggravated by suboptimal sleep quality. Given that approximately 75% of growth hormone secretion occurs during sleep, the attainment of adequate sleep quality is paramount for toddlers experiencing stunting. Infant massage constitutes a form of tactile therapy designed to enhance the quality of sleep. The objective of this investigation was to assess the impact of infant massage on sleep quality among stunted toddlers at the Dawe Community Health Center located in Kudus Regency. Employing a quasi-experimental design featuring a one-group pre-post-test framework, a cohort of 40 stunted toddlers aged between 2 to 5 years was recruited through purposive sampling techniques. The intervention involved administering infant massage sessions once weekly over a duration of three weeks. Data analysis was conducted utilizing the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. The findings revealed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), signifying a statistically significant effect of infant massage on sleep quality. In summary, the implementation of regular infant massage has been demonstrated to substantially enhance the sleep quality of stunted toddlers. It is recommended that this practice be adopted as a health promotion strategy for parents to facilitate their children's growth and developmental processes]]>

<![CDATA[In Indonesia, the prevalence of breast cancer has surpassed 22 thousand documented cases. Central Java Province exhibits the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in Indonesia, recorded at 0.7%. A primary strategy for breast cancer control involves the dissemination of health education aimed at enhancing the knowledge and attitudes regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE) among adolescent females. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of health education utilizing e-booklet media on the knowledge and attitudes related to BSE among adolescent girls. This investigation employed a Pre-Experimental design featuring a two-group pretest and posttest with a control group framework. The sample was derived using a total sampling methodology, resulting in 61 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann Whitney test. The findings of the study indicated that health education incorporating e-booklet media significantly influenced knowledge and attitudes prior to and following the intervention, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon test results, which yielded a p-value of 0.000 for knowledge and a p-value of 0.000 for attitude. Additionally, a notable difference in impact between the two groups was identified, as indicated by the Mann Whitney test, which reported a p-value of 0.004 for knowledge and a p-value of 0.009 for attitude. There exists a significant influence of health education with e-booklet media on the enhancement of knowledge and attitudes concerning BSE (Breast Self-Examination). It is anticipated that adolescents will engage in BSE practices accurately and consistently, thereby facilitating early detection of breast cancer.]]>

<![CDATA[The prevalence of anemia in adolescent females constitutes a notable public health issue, given its potential detrimental implications for growth, development, and academic achievement. Dietary patterns are commonly considered one of the contributing factors to anemia. This investigation sought to analyze the correlation between dietary patterns and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in adolescent females. A quantitative research methodology employing a cross-sectional design was implemented. The study population comprised 80 adolescent girls, of whom 76 were included as respondents using a total sampling technique. Dietary patterns were assessed using a structured questionnaire, while hemoglobin levels were measured using a hemoglobin testing device. The data were subjected to analysis employing both univariate and bivariate methodologies, with the Chi-square statistical test being utilized at a significance threshold of α = 0.05. The findings indicated that a higher proportion of adolescent girls with good dietary patterns had normal hemoglobin levels (81.8%) compared to those with adequate dietary patterns (66.7%). However, statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.148 (p > 0.05), suggesting that there was no statistically significant association between dietary patterns and hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. In conclusion, hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls are influenced by multiple factors beyond dietary patterns alone. Therefore, comprehensive anemia prevention strategies, including nutrition education, regular health monitoring, and iron supplementation programs, are strongly recommended.]]>

<![CDATA[The labor process represents a critical phase in the life cycle. One of the prevalent issues that frequently emerge during this phase is the fluctuation of blood pressure. Primary aim of this investigation is to ascertain the influence of immersing feet in warm water infused with lemongrass on the reduction of blood pressure in parturient mothers at the Manyaran Community Health Center, located in Semarang City. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design featuring a single-group pretest and posttest framework without a control group. A total sample of 32 parturient mothers who fulfilled the inclusion criteria was selected through total sampling methodology. The instrument utilized for data collection was a blood pressure observation sheet administered prior to and following the intervention. Data analysis was conducted utilizing descriptive statistics and Paired T-tests. Following the intervention, a notable decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed, with the mean declining from 137.65 mmHg to 93.13 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure reducing from 123.59 mmHg to 81.09 mmHg. The outcomes of the Paired T-test yielded a p-value of 0.000 for both blood pressure parameters (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect on the reduction of maternal blood pressure subsequent to immersion of the feet in warm water and lemongrass. It can be inferred that the practice of soaking feet in warm water combined with lemongrass serves as an effective, straightforward, safe, and economically viable non-pharmacological intervention for the attenuation of blood pressure in mothers prior to childbirth.]]>

<![CDATA[One of the common problems faced by adolescents worldwide is menstrual cycle disorders. This disorder can manifest itself as variations in cycle duration, which can impact long-term reproductive health. One contributing factor to menstrual irregularities is body mass index, as active fat tissue affects the balance of reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between BMI and the menstrual cycle. This study employed a correlational approach with a quantitative design and cross-sectional method. A sample of 65 women was selected using purposive sampling, and the samples were selected based on specific criteria. Data were collected through height and weight measurements and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. The results showed a p-value of 0.000, less than 0.05, with a correlation level of 0.541, which is considered sufficient. This indicates a relationship between BMI and the menstrual cycle. This research is expected to improve students' understanding of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and daily nutritional needs.]]>
