Abstract

Acute respiratory infections (ARIs), particularly the common cold, account for 30–40% of toddler consultations in primary care settings in Indonesia. Nonpharmacological complementary therapies are urgently needed to reduce disease burden and antibiotic misuse. To evaluate the impact of a 2-day parent-administered "common-cold massage" program on illness duration among toddlers with mild ARI. A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted at PMB Nurul Asyaroti, Malang, Indonesia. Following ethical approval and parental consent, 16 toddlers (12–59 months) meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Parents received a 30-minute health promotion session and an illustrated leaflet and then applied the 10-step massage twice daily for two consecutive days. Illness duration (in hours from baseline to the first 24-hour period free of nasal congestion/rhinorrhea) was documented by parents and verified by a blinded assessor on day 3. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test; effect size (Cohen's d) and 95% CI are reported. Mean illness-duration decreased from 4.6 days (SD 0.89) pre-intervention to 2.9 days (SD 0.62) post-intervention (mean reduction 1.7 days; 95 % CI 1.2–2.1; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 2.1, indicating a huge effect). No adverse events were reported. Teaching parents a short, standardized massage significantly shortened the duration of common colds in toddlers. A randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirm the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the intervention before scaling it across Indonesian community health centers.

Abstract

Pregnant women commonly experience sleep disturbances, which may affect maternal well-being. Prenatal exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention that can improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing physical discomfort. This study aimed to examine the effect of prenatal exercise on sleep quality among pregnant women. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted from May to August 2024. A total of 33 pregnant women were selected using purposive sampling. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after participation in a structured prenatal exercise program conducted regularly. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The mean PSQI score decreased significantly from 12.39 before the intervention to 5.44 after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a substantial improvement in sleep quality. Prenatal exercise has a significant positive effect on sleep quality in pregnant women. It can be recommended as a safe and effective intervention to be integrated into routine antenatal care services.

Abstract

The 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive is widely used because of its effectiveness, convenience, and affordability. However, prolonged use may cause side effects, particularly menstrual disturbances such as spotting, which can affect user comfort and compliance. This study's aimed to analyze the association between the duration of 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive use and the occurrence of spotting among family planning acceptors. This analytical cross-sectional study involved 30 family planning acceptors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Among the 30 respondents, 66.7% had used the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive for 1–2 years, and 43.3% experienced spotting. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between the duration of 3-month DMPA use and spotting (p = 0.088). Spotting is a common side effect among users of the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive, but it is not significantly associated with the duration of use. Comprehensive counseling and education regarding potential side effects are essential to improve user comfort and contraceptive compliance.

Abstract

Child marriage remains a persistent public health issue in Indonesia, including in Jember Regency. Early marriage is closely linked to adolescent pregnancy and may increase the risk of childbirth complications, which contribute to maternal and neonatal morbidity. This study aimed to analyze the association between child marriage (<18 years) and the incidence of childbirth complications. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using purposive sampling. The study included 30 mothers who had delivered between January and December 2024 and met the inclusion criteria. Data were obtained from medical records. Age at marriage was categorized as <18 years or≥18 years, and childbirth complications were recorded as present or absent. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Of the total respondents, 2 mothers married before age 18, and 28 married at age 18 or older. Childbirth complications occurred in 1 out of 2 mothers (50.0%) who married before 18 years and in 24 out of 28 mothers (85.7%) who married at ≥18 years. Statistical analysis showed a significant association between age at marriage and childbirth complications (p = 0.042). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age at marriage was associated with the risk of childbirth complications (OR = 5.45). Age at marriage is significantly associated with the incidence of childbirth complications. These findings highlight the importance of preventing child marriage, strengthening reproductive health education, and improving the quality of antenatal care services to reduce maternal and neonatal complications.

Abstract

Surgical interventions experience various challenges during the recovery process, including levels of anxiety, pain, and difficulty in early mobilization. The provision of education as a health education method needs to be emphasized in this phase. The sophistication of technology in presenting health education through video media is one alternative for education delivery. This study aims to explain the effect of preoperative health education with educational video media on anxiety, pain, and early mobilization behavior in patients with post-ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) lower extremity fractures. This study uses an Experimental Design (posttest-only with a control group). Two groups were randomly selected; the experimental group received a health education intervention using educational videos, while the control group received a health education intervention in accordance with the hospital's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Analysis with an Independent sample t-test showed a significant value of intervention in providing preoperative health education with educational video media on anxiety (p < α = 0.040), on pain (p < α = 0.025), and on early mobilization (p < α = 0.001) in patients with post-ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) lower extremity fractures. Preoperative health education using an educational video on early mobilization behavior variables showed a difference or average change value that was more positive than those for the anxiety and pain variables. Preoperative health education intervention with educational video media affects anxiety, pain, and early mobilization of patients with lower limb fractures after ORIF. The delivery of education with video media is more effective and more focused on achieving the goal of providing education. The intervention group showed a decrease in the average level of anxiety and pain, as well as a better average early mobilization behavior than the control group. Health education in the form of educational videos attracts more attention by delivering clearer information supported by the detailed process of moving illustrations and presenting objects in detail, which can help understand difficult material and provide an emotional and motivational impact, to help respondents reduce anxiety levels, pain, and improve early mobilization behaviors in the rehabilitation phase after surgery.

Abstract

Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy plays a crucial role in fetal growth and is a key determinant of newborn birth weight. Inadequate maternal nutrition increases the risk of low birth weight (LBW), which is strongly associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and newborn birth weight. A facility-based analytical study with a case–control design was conducted at a Community Health Center. A total of 36 mother–newborn pairs were recruited using a 1:1 case–control ratio. Maternal nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric indicators recorded during pregnancy, and newborn birth weight was measured within 1 hour of delivery. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with α = 0.05. The analysis revealed a statistically significant association between maternal nutritional status and newborn birth weight (p = 0.003). Mothers with adequate nutritional status were more likely to deliver infants with normal birth weight than those with poor nutritional status. Conversely, low birth weight was more frequently observed among infants born to mothers with inadequate nutritional status during pregnancy. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy is significantly associated with newborn birth weight in this primary health care setting. Strengthening early nutritional screening and interventions for pregnant women is essential to reduce the risk of low birth weight and improve neonatal health outcomes.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is often undetected because it frequently presents without symptoms. Community-based screening and health education through integrated health service posts play an important role in the early detection and prevention of hypertension-related complications. This study aimed to assess blood pressure status and evaluate early hypertension detection practices among community members. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 58 participants selected using a total sampling technique. Blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer, and early detection practices were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe the distribution of blood pressure categories and levels of early detection practices. The results showed that 37.9% of respondents were classified as having Stage I hypertension, 27.6% had Stage II hypertension, and 34.5% had normal blood pressure. Regarding early detection practices, 77.6% of respondents demonstrated good practices. Despite generally good early detection practices, a considerable proportion of community members had hypertension. Strengthening routine blood pressure screening and providing continuous health education at the Integrated Health Service posts level are essential to improve hypertension control and prevent complications.

Abstract

The widespread use of screen-based media in early childhood has raised concerns regarding its potential influence on language development, particularly expressive language skills. Although digital devices may provide educational opportunities, excessive or unsupervised use may reduce verbal interaction between children and caregivers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between gadget use and expressive-language development among children aged 3–4 years. A descriptive cross-sectional mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating thematic qualitative analysis with categorical descriptive findings. Thirty children aged 3–4 years were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured observations, semi-structured interviews with parents, and assessments of children's daily gadget-use patterns. Expressive-language development was evaluated based on children's ability to answer questions appropriately, express emotions using descriptive vocabulary, and convey opinions. The findings showed that 60% of children (n = 18) demonstrated indicators of delayed expressive-language development, particularly in responding to questions and expressing personal opinions. Limited emotional vocabulary was also observed in several participants and was frequently linked by parents to prolonged gadget exposure and reduced face-to-face interaction. Conversely, some children who accessed educational content with parental guidance showed emerging language abilities, including improved vocabulary recognition. These findings suggest that while educational digital media may support early learning, excessive or unguided gadget use may limit opportunities for interactive communication, which is essential for expressive-language development. Balanced gadget use, active parental mediation, and early screening of language development are therefore critical to support optimal communication skills in early childhood.

Abstract

Anxiety during pregnancy is a common psychological condition that can negatively affect maternal well-being and pregnancy outcomes. Safe and accessible non-pharmacological interventions are therefore needed to help manage maternal anxiety. Music therapy, particularly classical music, has been suggested as a potential method to promote relaxation and emotional regulation. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Beethoven’s classical violin music in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 30 pregnant women attending antenatal care at a community health center. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after a 15-minute intervention of listening to Beethoven’s classical violin music. Differences in anxiety scores before and after the intervention were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The findings demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety levels following the music intervention. The mean anxiety score decreased significantly after participants listened to Beethoven’s classical violin music (t(29) = 12.819, p < 0.001). Descriptive analysis indicated that most participants experienced a reduction in anxiety severity, shifting from moderate to mild anxiety levels. Listening to Beethoven’s classical violin music significantly reduced anxiety among pregnant women. This intervention is simple, safe, inexpensive, and free from pharmacological side effects, making it a feasible complementary strategy to support psychological well-being in antenatal care settings.

Abstract

Multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) are widely recommended during pregnancy to prevent anemia and improve maternal nutritional status. Despite their proven benefits, adherence to MMS intake among pregnant women remains suboptimal, contributing to the persistently high prevalence of maternal anemia in many low- and middle-income countries. Effective Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) delivered by health workers may play a crucial role in improving maternal knowledge and adherence to supplementation. This study aimed to examine the association between the quality of IEC provided by health workers and compliance with MMS consumption among pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected through a total sampling method. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring the quality of IEC and adherence to MMS intake. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics, and the association between IEC quality and MMS compliance was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to estimate the strength of the relationship. The majority of respondents received high-quality IEC (63.3%), and 66.7% of pregnant women reported compliance with MMS consumption. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between IEC quality and MMS compliance (p = 0.012). Pregnant women who received high-quality IEC were 10.5 times more likely to adhere to MMS intake compared with those who received poor-quality IEC (OR = 10.5). The quality of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) significantly influences pregnant women’s compliance with MMS consumption. Strengthening structured, interactive, and continuous IEC during antenatal care is recommended to improve adherence to supplementation and ultimately enhance maternal nutritional outcomes.
