Abstract

Effective pain management after cesarean section (C-section) is critical for maternal recovery and well-being. Lavender aromatherapy has been suggested as a complementary therapy to reduce postoperative pain. This study aims to evaluate the effect of lavender aromatherapy on postoperative pain in women undergoing C-section. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 120 women undergoing C-section were assigned to either a lavender aromatherapy group (n=60) or a placebo group (n=60). Baseline characteristics, including age, education, parity, and smoking status, were assessed to ensure comparability. Postoperative pain intensity was measured using a standardized pain scale.  Participants were predominantly aged 20–35 years (Placebo 91.67%, Aromatherapy 88.33%) and non-smokers. Educational attainment and parity were comparable between groups. Lavender aromatherapy significantly reduced post-C-section pain compared to placebo, The results showed a statistically significant difference in pain scores (U = 2638.5, p < 0.001, r = 0.40). The intervention was well-tolerated and easily applied, suggesting modulation of pain through both neurophysiological and psychological pathways. Lavender aromatherapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective adjunct for postoperative pain management after C-section. Its integration into standard postoperative care may enhance maternal comfort and satisfaction. Further multicenter studies with standardized protocols are recommended to confirm efficacy and explore long-term outcomes

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy disorder and causes high maternal mortality rates in Indonesia, with 1,077 cases in 2021. This study aims to investigate the association between maternal dietary patterns and the incidence of preeclampsia, particularly among pregnant women in Jepara Regency, a coastal region. This study is a quantitative correlational study, with the population being all mothers with a gestational age above 20 weeks who underwent examinations at Rehatta Hospital, Jepara Regency. Respondents were determined by consecutive sampling, obtaining 50 pregnant women who underwent pregnancy checks during August-September 2024. Data on maternal dietary patterns were obtained by filling out the FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire) sheet. Data on the incidence of preeclampsia were determined based on a doctor's diagnosis. The collected data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using SPSS software. The Pearson test results for carbohydrate diet obtained p-value = 0.001, animal side dishes p-value = 0.001, vegetable side dishes p-value = 0.007, vegetables p-value = 0.001, fruits p-value = 0.001, fast food p-value = 0.001, and drinks p-value = 0.056. Based on the seven nutrients and drinks, high carbohydrate intake, lack of animal side dishes, vegetables, fruit, irregular eating, and fast food consumption have p-values ​​<0.05, meaning maternal diet has a significant relationship with the incidence of preeclampsia. This finding confirms that a balanced diet during pregnancy plays a vital role in preventing preeclampsia. Therefore, monitoring diet and nutritional education for pregnant women needs to be a focus in efforts to prevent preeclampsia in health services

Abstract

Depression and anxiety are common mental health issues affecting an 300 million people globally, with up to 13% of postpartum mothers experiencing depression and 19,8% with higher risks. These conditions can negatively impact both mother and child. The intake of natural antioxidants found in fruits has the potential to reduce these symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the effect of fruit consumption as a natural source of antioxidants on symptoms of depression and anxiety in postpartum mothers with children aged 1–12 months. The study was conducted from June-July 2024 in Bojong Rawalumbu, Bekasi City, using a quasi-experimental design with 64 respondents (28 in the treatment group and 29 in the control group completing the study). The treatment group received fruit interventions for 21 days, while the control group received no intervention. Depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and fruit consumption compliance was monitored using a provided form. The results showed a reduction in the mean depression score (difference of 2.00) and anxiety score (difference of 4.18) in the treatment group (p = 0.0001 for both). In conclusion, adequate fruit consumption may reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in postpartum mothers with children aged 1–12 months.

Abstract

Stunting among children under two years old remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in Central Sulawesi, where the 2024 prevalence reached 26.1%, exceeding the national rate of 19.8%. This study aimed to analyze disparities in stunting determinants and identify effective innovations for reduction using an ecological analytic design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were derived from the 2024 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), district stunting dashboards, and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in Sigi District (high prevalence, 33.0%) and Tojo Una-Una District (low prevalence, 16.5%). Results showed that stunting in Sigi was associated with limited access to health services, low immunization coverage, poor sanitation, low maternal education, minimal funding for specific programs (1.33%), and post-disaster challenges. In contrast, Tojo Una-Una achieved >90% essential service coverage, strong family mentoring by Family Assistance Teams (TPK), and adequate program allocation (15.03%) through innovations such as the Dapur Sehat Atasi Stunting (DASHAT) program and mobile clinics. Effective stunting reduction requires integrating specific nutrition actions with sensitive interventions addressing sanitation, education, and economic empowerment. Strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration, digital data monitoring (e-PPGBM), and replication of Tojo Una-Una’s best practices are critical to achieving the 2024 RPJMN target and supporting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

The high incidence of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which affects 60-80% of primigravidas and 40-60% of multigravidas in Indonesia, can lead to complications such as dehydration and malnutrition if not managed effectively. This can have a negative impact on maternal health and fetal development. While pharmacological treatments are available, non-pharmacological interventions such as acupressure are gaining attention as a safe and effective alternative. This study aimed to determine and compare the effectiveness of acupressure at PC6 and ST36 points in reducing nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women. A comparative quasi-experimental design was used with a total sample of 50 pregnant women, divided into two groups: one receiving acupressure at PC6 and the other at ST36. The severity of nausea and vomiting was measured using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) questionnaire before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant decrease in nausea and vomiting scores in both groups (p < 0.001). The mean score reduction was 6.64 in the PC6 group and 6.32 in the ST36 group. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the two groups, suggesting comparable efficacy (p = 0.214). These findings suggest that acupressure at both PC6 and ST36 points is an effective non-pharmacological method for managing nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. Thus, ST36 can be considered a viable alternative point for treatment

Abstract

Stunting remains a critical public health issue in Indonesia, with a national prevalence of 19.8% in 2024 and 24.7% in urban areas, such as Palu City. Maternal behaviors play a pivotal role in prevention, yet no validated instrument has measured stunting prevention behaviors based on behavioral theory. To develop and validate a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) based instrument to assess stunting prevention behaviors among mothers of children under five in Indonesia. An instrument development and validation study was conducted in Palu City, Sulawesi Tengah, from May to December 2025. The study followed five phases: (1) literature review and blueprint construction (50 items), (2) content validation by five experts using Aiken’s V, (3) pilot testing with 30 mothers, (4) large-scale data collection from 300 purposively selected mothers, and (5) psychometric validation using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Data analysis was performed with R software. Expert review confirmed 45 items (90%) valid (Aiken’s V ≥ 0.80). Pilot testing showed high reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.922). EFA and CFA supported a five-factor structure consistent with TPB, with good model fit (CFI = 0.974, TLI = 0.973, RMSEA = 0.019, SRMR = 0.075). Internal consistency was strong (Cronbach’s α = 0.884). The TPB-Stunting Instrument is a reliable, valid, and culturally relevant tool for measuring maternal behaviors in stunting prevention programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity, nutritional status, and social interaction among the academic community at Polkesbaya Corner, a health-promotion facility developed by Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya as part of the “Healthy Campus Initiative.” Polkesbaya Corner serves as a campus-based innovation designed to integrate nutrition education, physical activity, and social engagement, supporting the 3rd Sustainable Development Goal (Good Health and Well-being). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 363 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), 24-hour dietary recall, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), anthropometric measurements, and sociometric observation. A statistical association was observed between social interaction and nutritional status (p = 0.024), whereas fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity were not significantly associated with this outcome. Overall, 52.3% of respondents had normal nutritional status, while 31.7% were overweight. Most participants performed light physical activity (79.3%) and consumed sautéed vegetables (74.1%) and sliced fruits (68.9%). These findings highlight the crucial role of social engagement in promoting healthy behaviors within the campus environment. Therefore, Polkesbaya Corner can serve as a “living laboratory” to foster a culture of health by integrating nutrition education, physical activity, and social participation—supporting the national health promotion agenda and the achievement of SDG 3.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease and a leading cause of global mortality, prompting interest in non-pharmacological therapies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) decoction on blood pressure changes in patients with hypertension. This pre-experimental study employed a one-group pre-test-post-test design with 30 hypertensive patients at the Watubelah Public Health Center in Cirebon Regency. The intervention consisted of a decoction of 10 bay leaves boiled in 400 mL of water until 200 mL remained, which was consumed twice daily for seven days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant decrease in the mean systolic blood pressure from 153.6 mmHg to 138.4 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 93.8 mmHg to 84.1 mmHg (p = 0.001). This study concludes that bay leaf decoction is associated with a significant reduction in blood pressure in hypertensive patients, suggesting its potential as a complementary therapy in nursing practice.

Abstract

Anemia among Indonesian adolescent girls remains a major issue, with 15.5% nationally and 49.47% in Pekalongan affected. Ferritin, a sensitive marker of iron stores, reflects early iron deficiency influenced by diet, enhanced by vitamin C, and inhibited by calcium and phytic acid. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between iron, enhancer, and inhibitor intake and ferritin and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. An observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 80 female students in Pekalongan, Central Java. Intake of iron, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, calcium, and phytic acid was assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Hemoglobin levels were measured using a Hematology Analyzer, and ferritin was analyzed using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression tests. The results show that ferritin levels were significantly correlated with iron (r = 0.293; p = 0.008) and vitamin C intake (r = 0.298; p = 0.007), and negatively correlated with calcium and phytic acid (r = –0.673; p < 0.001). Hemoglobin levels were correlated with protein (r=0.232; p=0.035), calcium (r=–0.240; p=0.032), and phytic acid (r=–0.241; p=0.032). Multivariate analysis revealed that ferritin levels were influenced simultaneously by iron, vitamin C, and calcium intake (CI: 95%, p < 0.001), while hemoglobin levels were influenced simultaneously by protein, fiber, and phytic acid intake (CI: 95%, p = 0.019). Iron, vitamin C, calcium, protein, fiber, and phytic acid intake influence ferritin and hemoglobin levels. Ferritin should be used as an early marker of iron deficiency, and interventions promoting higher iron and vitamin C intake while limiting inhibitors are recommended for adolescent girls.

Abstract

Stunting remains a persistent problem in Tanah Toa Village, where high rates of growth faltering are closely linked to inadequate maternal parenting practices related to nutrition, hygiene, and health care. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal parenting patterns including feeding practices, psychosocial stimulation, hygiene practices, environmental sanitation, and health service utilization and stunting among children aged 24–59 months in Tanah Toa Village, Bulukumba Regency. This cross-sectional study involved 111 mother–child pairs, with data collected from October to November 2020 using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression using SPSS version 26.0. The results showed significant associations between stunting and hygiene practices (p = 0.003), environmental sanitation (p = 0.000), health service utilization (p = 0.049), and overall maternal parenting patterns (p = 0.000). Multivariate analysis identified maternal parenting patterns as the most dominant factor influencing stunting (p = 0.010; OR = 0.124; 95% CI = 0.03 to 0.62). Children raised by mothers with good parenting practices were 0.124 times less likely to experience stunting compared to those raised by mothers with poor parenting. These findings highlight that comprehensive parenting which involves nutrition, hygiene, and health care plays a critical role in preventing stunting. Interventions should integrate nutrition education, maernal empowerment, and culturally grounded health promotion to accelerate stunting reduction at the community level.
