Abstract

Mental health disorders during pregnancy are a very important issue for maternal and fetal health. Screening for conditions such as depression and anxiety is needed, but often overlooked in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of mental health screening of pregnant women by midwives in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. This study used a mixed methods approach   with a sequential explanatory approach consisting of a quantitative online survey followed by qualitative FGDs. The results of the study showed that 115 midwives 67.0% only screened less than 25% of the total pregnant women they served. Only a small proportion conducted routine screening (13.0% 5-10 times, and 14.8% more than 10 times). Qualitative findings from 12 midwives confirmed that while screening can identify mental health concerns, its application is inconsistent and faces substantial barriers, including limited time, privacy, insufficient training, and lack of screening tools. Despite these challenges, midwives showed a generally positive perception of the importance of mental health screening for both mothers and fetuses. Supporting factors for screening include policy, education, integrated services, professional collaboration, SOPs, and additional human resources. In conclusion, this study highlights gaps in mental health screening practices and emphasizes the importance of improving training, access to screening tools, and supportive policies. Further research is needed to explore strategies for addressing these barriers and consider the role of technology, while multicenter studies could be conducted to expand the scope of this study, making the results more representative

Abstract

Central obesity, an accumulation of abdominal fat, which can be measured using waist circumference, is a health risk that may increase during the perimenopausal transition. Central obesity is caused by various factors, which include, environmental and behavioral factors (physical activity and eating behavior). Eating behaviors that contribute to obesity include a strong desire to consume certain types of food/food craving. Poor eating habits such as consuming high-calorie foods, fast food consumption, and not consuming a variety of foods will affect one's diet quality. This cross-sectional study with multistage sampling method collected data from 125 women with perimenopausal symptoms. Data were collected via interviewer-administered validated questionnaires. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software 25. The results indicated that 63.2% of the respondents had central obesity, 40,5% of those sometimes experienced food cravings. Most respondents with central obesity (94,9%) and non-central obesity (84,8%) had a very poor diet quality, and 40,5% of respondents with central obesity had vigorous activity, compared to 47.8% among women without central obesity. There was significant correlation between food craving (OR = 1.091; 95% CI = 1,04 – 1,14), diet quality (OR = 0.916; 95% CI = 0,86 – 0,96) with central obesity (p<0,05). There was no significant correlation between physical activity, education level, and socioeconomic status with central obesity (p>0,05). In conclusion, diet quality and food craving significantly influence the incidence of central obesity in women with perimenopausal symptoms in Bukittinggi City.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five and a common reason for health service visits. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes air pollution as the greatest environmental threat to human health, including ARI risk. In Jambi City, the prevalence of ARI among children under five remains high, while air quality is of concern due to motor vehicle emissions, open waste burning, and forest fires. Air quality can have direct and indirect effects on ARI incidence. Previous studies in Jambi have analyzed ARI using individual-level data; research on broader patterns, trends, and air quality influence remains limited. This study aims to analyze the influence of air quality on ARI incidence in children under five in Jambi City. The study was a time series using monthly data on ARI prevalence, PM10, SO2, CO, O3, temperature, humidity, and rainfall. The results showed ARI cases were high at the beginning and end of each year, fluctuating from 2021 to 2023 with a marked increase in 2023. The final GAM model indicated a significant negative linear association for PM10 (p=0.04) and humidity (p=0.03). Carbon monoxide (CO) demonstrated a significant non-linear effect (edf=4.01, p=0.0005). Time (month), representing seasonal and long-term trends, showed the strongest non-linear association (edf=7.9, p=0.0001), reflecting seasonal variation in ARI incidence. Efforts are needed to raise awareness about ambient air quality, particularly PM10 and CO, so that parents remain vigilant outdoors with children. These findings highlight the importance of interventions, including emission control and education, to reduce ARI risk in under-five children.

Abstract

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient with important antioxidant and physiological roles. However, it is highly unstable during processing due to its sensitivity to heat, oxygen, and light. This scoping review mapped evidence on drying-based encapsulation techniques: freeze drying, spray drying, and foam-mat drying. It examines their effect on the vitamin C level in fruit powder. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, MDPI, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2015 and 2025. The search followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. Seven studies met the criteria and covered acerola, camu-camu, banana, açaí, papaya, satsuma mandarin, orange peel, and mulberry. The findings show that freeze-drying was consistently the most effective technique for retaining vitamin C levels. Some studies even reported an increase in vitamin C levels, possibly due to the breakdown of the fruit matrix, which made the nutrient more available. During Spray drying, low retention values (11%) were obtained in banana paste, and almost total retention (99%) was achieved in camu-camu pulp. The retention of mulberry juice during optimized foam-mat drying amounted to a maximum level of 90%. Coating materials, such as gum Arabic (GA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), provided better stability in vitamin C levels. However, there are some gaps regarding encapsulation efficiency, degradation kinetics, and particular mechanisms of the matrix that could clarify retention rates beyond 100%. Thus, future studies should focus on these parameters for the refinement of scalable yet low-cost drying strategies of functional fruit powders.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing health concern in Indonesia, particularly in rural communities with limited healthcare access. Behavioral risk factors such as smoking, coffee consumption, and poor health-seeking behavior (HSB) may increase MetS risk in vulnerable populations. This study aimed to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors—smoking, coffee consumption, and HSB—and the risk of MetS among fishermen and oil palm farmers in Aceh, Indonesia.  A case-control study was conducted among 240 adults, comprising 120 couples,  recruited from rural fishing and farming communities. Cases met the IDF 2020 MetS criteria, while controls did not. Data on sociodemographics, smoking, coffee intake, and HSB were collected via structured interviews and clinical assessments. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors, adjusting for age, gender, and education. Smoking among husbands (AOR = 2.89; 95% CI: 1.19–7.02; p = 0.019), coffee consumption (AOR = 2.40; 95% CI: 1.00–5.79; p = 0.049), and low HSB (AOR = 3.10; 95% CI: 1.35–7.11; p = 0.008) were significantly associated with higher odds of MetS. While age and education were not independently significant, they were retained in the model as potential confounders. This study highlights the need for tailored health promotion targeting smoking cessation, improved health service engagement, and dietary awareness in rural Indonesian populations. Interventions should consider sociocultural practices such as sweetened coffee consumption to reduce MetS risk effectively.

Abstract

Anemia is a condition in which the body experiences a lack of Hb in the blood. One of the causes of anemia is the need for iron and protein that is not fulfilled by the daily intake. Snake fruit seed flour and red beans have high potential to be developed into health-beneficial products such as snacks. The purpose of this study was to develop snack bars as a treatment for anemia in adolescent girls and to analyze hedonic tests, microbiological contamination, and nutritional content. The data analysis used was the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's Post-Hoc test. This study shows that the snack bar formulation of snake fruit seed flour and red bean has a statistically significant effect with a p-value <0.05. Based on the level of liking of high school adolescent girls, the most preferred formulations are formulations P0 and P3. The P0 treatment has nutritional content (carbohydrate 43.33%, protein 14.30%, fat 19.70%, total calories 400 Kcal, iron 3.6 mg, vitamin C 24.5 mg, and zinc 4.8 mg) and the P3 formulation has nutritional content (carbohydrate 49.49%, protein 10.71%, fat 13.53%, total calories 360 Kcal, iron 11.4 mg, vitamin C 28.0 mg, and zinc 5.2 mg), so it has the potential to innovate supplementary feeding for anemic adolescent girls.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a major nutritional issue in Indonesia and contributes to adverse birth outcomes and the risk of childhood stunting. Community-based interventions that integrate nutrition education and food supplementation have shown promise but remain underutilized. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated nutrition intervention, consisting of Behavior Change Communication (BCC)-based education and local food-based supplementary feeding (PMT), on improving the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and nutritional status of pregnant women in high-stunting prevalence areas. A 16-week quasi-experimental pre–post study was conducted among 175 pregnant women in Purbalingga, Serang, and Bogor, Indonesia. Participants received weekly group-based BCC education and daily local snack supplementation (≥350 kcal/day). MUAC, weight, BMI, hemoglobin levels, and dietary adequacy (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and multiple linear regression. The mean MUAC increased significantly from 22.7 ± 1.1 cm to 23.6 ± 1.0 cm (p < 0.001), with a 27.4% reduction in CED prevalence. Regression analysis indicated that dietary compliance and baseline hemoglobin were strong predictors of MUAC improvement. The intervention also significantly increased maternal weight, BMI, and hemoglobin levels, while protein adequacy showed the most substantial improvement, aligning dietary intake more closely with national recommendations. The integration of BCC-based education with local PMT significantly improved maternal nutritional outcomes, particularly MUAC, protein adequacy, and hemoglobin status, thereby reducing the risk of CED and anemia. This dual-component approach is feasible for community-level stunting prevention and supports its inclusion in antenatal care services.

Abstract

Preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication affecting 2–5% of women globally, is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality. Its prevalence in Indonesia ranges from 0.8–7% depending on parity. Associated with long-term cardiovascular risks, recent research suggests that elevated maternal activin A levels may play a causal role in linking severe preeclampsia to subsequent cardiovascular complications, particularly through mechanisms involving cellular damage, including to the heart. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between Activin A circulating level and cardiac ventricular function as assessed by cardiac global longitudinal strain (GLS) in severe preeclampsia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia with a total of 31 patients with severe preeclampsia. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) as used to determine the level of Activin A in the blood serum. Ventricular function was assessed from the global longitudinal strain using echocardiographic evaluation. The mean level of Activin A was 2.97 ± 1.91 ng/mL. From the echocardiographic evaluation, the mean cardiac GLS value was 18.01 ± 3.27%.  The correlation between activin A levels and cardiac ventricular function was analyzed using Pearson's correlation test, which showed a strong negative correlation (r = -0.718, p < 0.001). This indicates that higher activin A levels are significantly associated with lower GLS values, demonstrating worse ventricular function.

Abstract

To determine the correlation between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) with Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) scores as prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis. This prospective cohort study included 44 pediatric sepsis patients admitted to the PICU at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital from July to September 2024. PELOD-2 scores and blood indices were assessed on admission (Day 1) and Day 3. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between variables. The majority of patients were female (59.1%) and under one year old (31.8%). By Day 3, 68.2% of patients exhibited MPV levels exceeding 10.4 fL. Significant moderate correlations were found between Day 3 MPV and PELOD-2 (r=0.410; p=0.006), Day 3 PDW and PELOD-2 (r=0.518; p=0.001), and the changes ($\Delta$) in PDW versus PELOD-2 scores (r=0.471; p=0.005). Increases in MPV and PDW are significantly correlated with PELOD-2 scores, suggesting their potential utility as accessible prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis management.
