Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a nutritional problem facing Indonesia. The nutritional intake of breastfeeding mothers is closely linked to the production of breast milk, which is also a key factor in ensuring the adequate nourishment of infants and toddlers. Objective: The research aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, the history of exclusive breastfeeding, and the incidence of stunting in infants under five in Cikunir Village. Method: The type of research used is quantitative with analytical methods which aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, the history of exclusive breastfeeding, and the incidence of stunting in babies under five. The population is mothers who have babies aged 6-24 months in Cikunir Village, the sampling technique used purposive samples, samples were 52, the data presentation method was in tabular form, the analysis used descriptive and analytical analysis, the instrument used a questionnaire consisting of questions regarding the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, factors which affect nutritional status, history of exclusive breastfeeding, incidence of stunting. Result: The results of the statistical test on the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers and the incidence of stunting obtained a p-value of 0.307, so that 0.307 > alpha (0.05), while the results of the statistical test of the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting obtained a p-value of 0.020 so that it was 0.020 < alpha. (0.05). Conclusion: There is no relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting, and there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting. The researcher postulates that if the nutritional status during pregnancy and breastfeeding is normal, yet the mother is ignorant, unable, or unwilling to obtain information about the nutrition that must be met during this period, this will result in stunting of the child. The prevention of stunting should commence with the provision of education and integrated services for pregnant women and mothers with children up to the age of two.

Abstract

Introduction: Caring for children with mild intellectual disabilities poses significant emotional and social challenges for mothers, often compounded by stigma and limited support. In Indonesia, spirituality and social support play a crucial role in strengthening resilience and framing caregiving as a moral responsibility. Objective: This study aims to explore how mothers perceive the care of children with mild intellectual disabilities and the coping strategies they employ to address physical, emotional, and social challenges. Method: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving semi-structured in-depth interviews with 10 mothers. Data saturation was reached with the eighth participant, confirming no emergence of new significant information. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was conducted, complemented by source and theoretical triangulation to enhance the validity of findings. Results: Four key themes emerged from the analysis: (1) caregiving as an act of worship and moral responsibility, where mothers view their role as a life calling; (2) challenges in caregiving, including physical strain, emotional stress, and stigma-related pressures; (3) coping strategies that rely on social and spiritual support, with family and religious communities serving as key resources; and (4) the inadequacy of formal services, which often forces mothers to depend on community and faith-based organizations. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for community-based programs that address the emotional and spiritual needs of families with children with special needs. Effective collaboration between healthcare providers, community organizations, and religious leaders is crucial for developing inclusive and responsive services tailored to the needs of these families.

Abstract

Introduction: The rising nurse workload and its impact on performance have become a significant concern in hospital inpatient settings. Increased patient numbers and high Bed Occupancy Rates (BOR) have contributed to greater pressure on nursing staff, potentially affecting the quality of care provided. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of workload on nurse performance in hospital inpatient settings through a comprehensive review of existing literature. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted, utilizing national and international journals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) method was applied in four stages: identification (n = 16,816), screening (n = 60), followed by the application of the PICO framework to determine feasibility and relevance, which resulted in 15 articles being included. The literature search involved accessing electronic databases such as Cochrane, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Result: The review of 15 articles revealed that nurse performance is significantly influenced by multiple factors, with high workload being one of the main contributors. Of the 15 articles analyzed, 14 confirmed that high workload is a major challenge nurses face in performing their daily tasks, leading to potential declines in performance. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study confirms that a high workload, especially in hospital inpatient rooms, has a significant negative impact on nurse performance. Addressing workload management through staffing optimization and effective policies is essential to improving the quality of care and ensuring better health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Facing a Caesarean section (C-section), patients often imagine the surgical process and various discomforts, leading to anxiety. Anxiety can result in both physical and psychological changes, such as an increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, rapid breathing, fatigue, and an increase in fetal heart rate. Endorphin massage and positive affirmations offer benefits such as comfort and pain relief. This sense of relaxation and comfort is expected to reduce the anxiety experienced by patients before delivery. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endorphin massage and positive affirmations in reducing anxiety levels among pre-C-section patients. Method: This experimental study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The respondents included 30 pre-C-section patients at Sayang Hospital, Cianjur, selected through a total sampling technique. The research instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire, which assessed the patients' anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Result: The study results, analyzed using the Paired Samples T-Test, showed a p-value of 0.000, which is <0.05. Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant reduction in anxiety levels among pre-C-section patients before and after receiving endorphin massage and positive affirmation interventions.
