<![CDATA[The third trimester of pregnancy is the final phase of pregnancy, characterized by various physiological changes and increased physical complaints in pregnant women. The level of complaints experienced can be influenced by the mother's physical condition, one of which is Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of nutritional status. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and the level of complaints in pregnant women in the third trimester. The study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at the Kobe Community Health Center in November with a sample of 30 pregnant women in the third trimester selected using a purposive sampling technique. BMI was categorized as underweight, normal, and overweight/obese, while the level of complaints was measured using a structured questionnaire that assessed physical complaints such as back pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, leg cramps, pelvic pain, and sleep disturbances. Data analysis was performed descriptively and bivariately using the Fisher's Exact Test. The results showed that mothers with underweight and overweight/obese BMI experienced higher complaints than mothers with normal BMI. The statistical test showed a p-value of 0.045, indicating a significant relationship between BMI and the level of complaints in the third trimester. This study concludes that BMI plays an important role in influencing the comfort of pregnant women in the final trimester, so monitoring nutritional status needs to be an integral part of antenatal care.]]>

<![CDATA[Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is crucial for infant growth and immunity. This study aims to analyze the inhibiting and promoting factors of exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers in the Bongo Nol Community Health Center (Puskesmas Bongo Nol), Boalemo Regency. The study used a descriptive-analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach to 24 breastfeeding mothers, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and direct interviews, then analyzed descriptively and analytically using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 58.3 % of mothers exclusively breastfed. Significant inhibiting factors included the perception of insufficient breast milk (p = 0.003) and cultural/mythical influences (p = 0.008). Significantly influencing promoting factors included maternal knowledge about breastfeeding (p = 0.018) and husband's support (p = 0.004). This study confirms that the success of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by a complex interaction between individual, social, and cultural factors. Appropriate education, family support, and an approach that takes local conditions into account are key to increasing the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Anemia is a global health problem affecting over 1.62 billion people worldwide. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women reaches 48.9%. A 2022 survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health showed that only 30% of prospective brides and grooms had adequate knowledge about anemia and its impact on reproductive health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of prospective brides and grooms about anemia and compliance with consuming Fe tablets in the DKI Jakarta area. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 prospective brides and grooms selected using purposive sampling technique. The inclusion criteria were 20-35 years old, never experienced severe anemia, and had access to health education programs on anemia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 20-35 years (70.0%), had a high school education (40.0%), and worked as housewives (40.0%). The level of knowledge of respondents showed a good category of 46.7%, sufficient 33.3%, and less than 20.0%. Compliance with consumption of Fe tablets showed 60.0% compliant and 40.0% non-compliant. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a p-value = 0.007 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge about anemia and compliance with consumption of Fe tablets. Respondents with good knowledge had high compliance (85.7%), sufficient knowledge had 50.0% compliance, while only 16.7% were compliant with poor knowledge. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge of anemia among prospective brides and grooms and grooms and their adherence to iron tablet consumption (p = 0.007). It is recommended to improve systematic and sustainable health education programs, develop technology-based monitoring systems, involve couples and families in educational programs, and provide comprehensive counseling on managing the side effects of iron tablets]]>

<![CDATA[Regular Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are crucial for maintaining maternal and fetal health, but in remote areas, access to health information is often limited. The Maternal and Child Health Handbook is an alternative educational medium, though its effectiveness depends on pregnant women's interest in reading the book. This study aimed to identify the relationship between interest in reading the Maternal and Child Health Handbook and the regularity of ANC visits among pregnant women in remote areas of the Panaan Community Health Center (UPT). The study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sampling technique selected 30 pregnant women as respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, knowledge of pregnancy health, interest in reading the handbook, and ANC visit data. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed, with the Chi-Square test used for the latter. The results showed that 53.3% of respondents had a positive interest in reading the handbook, and 60% made regular ANC visits. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between reading interest and ANC visit regularity (χ²=10.24; p=0.001). Of the 16 women interested in reading, 87.5% made regular ANC visits, compared to only 28.6% of those without interest. In conclusion, pregnant women with higher interest in reading the Maternal and Child Health Handbook are more likely to make regular ANC visits, highlighting the need for efforts to increase reading interest through education and support.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Elevated blood pressure during pregnancy, even mildly, can develop into serious complications if not optimally managed. Therefore, a non-pharmacological approach is needed that is safe, easy to implement, and appropriate for the context of primary health care. One potential intervention is prenatal yoga, a mind-body-based approach. This study aims to analyze the effect of prenatal yoga on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women at the TileY Health Center. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters who were selected purposively. The prenatal yoga intervention was implemented for four weeks, twice per week, and each session lasted 45 minutes. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and after the intervention using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after the prenatal yoga intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that prenatal yoga is effective in helping control blood pressure in pregnant women. In conclusion, prenatal yoga significantly reduces blood pressure in pregnant women and has the potential to become a safe and applicable non-pharmacological antenatal care component in primary healthcare.]]>

<![CDATA[Early pregnancy remains a significant maternal health issue due to the increased risk of obstetric complications that impact the safety of both mother and baby. Adolescents who experience pregnancy generally have limitations in biological, psychological, and access to health services, thus requiring special attention in efforts to prevent complications. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with childbirth complications in early pregnancy women in the Marisa Community Health Center working area. The study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach on 30 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and medical record review, then analyzed using the Fisher Exact Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that five variables had a significant relationship with childbirth complications, namely antenatal care visits (p = 0.047), education (p = 0.041), parity (p = 0.039), husband's support (p = 0.021), and history of pregnancy diseases (p = 0.009). Meanwhile, gestational age did not show a significant relationship (p = 0.314). This study concludes that childbirth complications in young mothers are a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by both medical and social factors. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening antenatal care, reproductive health education interventions, and increasing family support to improve birth safety in high-risk groups.]]>

<![CDATA[The Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) is a drug delivery system developed to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of lipophilic compounds. Optimization of SNEDDS formulation is an essential step to obtain a stable and efficient system, one of which can be achieved using the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method that mathematically determines the optimal composition of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant. This study employed a narrative review approach by collecting literature from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and NCBI databases using the keywords “SNEDDS AND simplex lattice design AND optimization AND physicochemical” within the publication range of 2016-2025. Based on the literature screening, five relevan articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review results showed that the application of the SLD method consistently produced formulations with droplet sizes of 16-200 nm, PDI <0.3, zeta potential values ranging from -31 to -61 mV, emulsification time between 8-47 seconds, and %transmittance of 95-98%, indicating a stable and homogeneous system. SLD has proven effective in optimizing SNEDDS formulations as it can reduce research time and cost while improving efficiency and system stability. Therefore, this method has great potential to be applied in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance the physicochemical characteristics and bioavailability of liphophilic drugs.]]>

<![CDATA[Pregnant women's readiness for childbirth is an important factor in preventing delays in the management of obstetric complications. One of the main determinants of childbirth readiness is the level of pregnant women's awareness of pregnancy risk factors that can endanger the mother and fetus. This study aims to analyze the relationship between pregnant women's awareness of pregnancy risk factors and their readiness for childbirth in the working area of Dr. Hi. Zainal Umar Sidiki Regional Hospital, North Gorontalo Regency. This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 32 pregnant women selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected in March–May 2025 using a structured questionnaire to measure the level of awareness of pregnancy risk factors and readiness for childbirth. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using the Chi-square test. The results showed that most pregnant women had a moderate level of awareness of pregnancy risk factors and were in the category of being ready for childbirth. Inferential analysis showed a very significant relationship between the level of awareness of pregnant women regarding pregnancy risk factors and their readiness for childbirth (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that the higher the level of awareness of pregnant women regarding pregnancy risk factors, the better the mother's readiness for childbirth. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening antenatal education focused on increasing awareness of pregnancy risks as a strategy to improve childbirth preparedness and support efforts to prevent maternal complications.]]>
