Abstract

Background: Mental health technology, especially versatile mobile applications, can aid in treating prenatal depression, which affects 12% of pregnant women.Objective: This systematic review aims to gather the latest evidence on the effectiveness of mobile applications for mental health support among expectant mothers.Methods: The methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, utilizing a systematic review design. The PICOS framework guided the search strategy. A literature search was performed using PubMed, Wiley, and ScienceDirect. The inclusion criteria encompassed seven original, English-language studies published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on the effectiveness of mobile applications in mental health counseling for pregnant women. All studies employed a randomized controlled trial design. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool was used to assess the quality of each study. Results: The articles were sourced from Germany, Singapore, Brazil, China, Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea. All seven studies utilized a randomized controlled trial design with quantitative research. The risk of bias assessment revealed five studies with concerns and two with low risk. Pregnant women using these apps reported lower levels of depression and anxiety, along with enhanced social support, indicating that these applications offer a cost-effective alternative for mental health treatment. Conslusion: App-based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness training, have been shown to improve mental health and prenatal care. While the results are promising, some studies suggest further evaluation is needed to fully understand the efficacy of technology-based interventions. Overall, mobile app technology holds significant potential for improving perinatal health outcomes and supporting the mental

Abstract

Background: Losing a baby to IUFD has a profound emotional impact on mothers. This not only affects their mental health and quality of life but also emphasizes the importance of psychological support in the recovery process. Objectives: This review aims to explore recent evidence on the biological, psychological, and social impact of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) on mothers in developing countries. Methods: This review involved searching databases from 2015 to 2023 through sources such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley, as well as search engines such as Google Scholar and Research Rabbit. Articles were selected with the help of Mendeley and evaluated using the JBI Critical Appraisal Guidelines for Qualitative Research. Of the 314 articles found, 5 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: This review identified three main themes: biological impact (disturbing physical changes and danger warning signs), psychological impact (mothers' emotional responses), and social impact (moral support, negative stigma, health workers' misbehavior, and the need for better social protection). Conclusions: To provide adequate emotional support as well as clear and comprehensive information about the causes and next steps after fetal death, health workers need to be equipped with skills and knowledge. In situations that require difficult information delivery, midwives also need to have the sensitivity and skills to help parents manage and respond appropriately to their emotions.ABSTRACT Background: Losing a baby to IUFD has a profound emotional impact on mothers.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still a challenge in several regions. Socialization and provision of information from various sides have not had a direct impact. Many factors influence the success of breastfeeding, one of which is the mother's belief in providing breast milk. The breastfeeding readiness scale is one of the tools to assess the readiness of mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the breastfeeding readiness scale in Bangka Belitung Province. Method: The study was cross-sectional. The number of respondents involved was 185 respondents who met the inclusion criteria, namely having children aged 0-6 months. The analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using SPSS. Results: of the 185 respondents, 67% of them had children> 1, most mothers were in the reproductive age of 20-35 years, namely 78%, with an average of having further education of 57.3%. The majority of mothers did not work at 88.6%, 65% of mothers had experience of exclusive breastfeeding. Of the 185 mothers, 70% of them still exclusively breastfeed their babies, and the scale of readiness of breastfeeding mothers mostly has a very high score of 53%, but there are still mothers who have a very low score of 5 people. There is a relationship between parity (p-value 0,0036), previous breastfeeding experience (p-value < 0,001) and exclusive breastfeeding (p value <0,000) with the scale of readiness to breastfeed. There is no relationship between education, age, occupation and type of delivery with the scale of readiness to breastfeed. Conclusion: The scale of readiness to breastfeed can effectively be used as a detection tool to assess the success of breastfeeding mothers. There is a need to develop a breastfeeding readiness scale in the form of an application so that it is easy for mothers and health workers to use.

Abstract

Background: Illness is a state in which the body physically, mentally, and socially experiences weakness, disability, and discomfort. Newborn babies are more susceptible to disease because the antibodies in their bodies are not yet fully formed. Breast milk is the first intake to help the formation of the immune system because breast milk contains antibodies and other protective substances. Purpose: To determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of illness in infants aged 6-12 months at Kendalsari Health Center, Malang City. Methods: This study used a case control design with a retrospective approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The sample in this study consisted of a case group (sick babies) as many as 35 mothers & babies in the Kendalsari Community Health Center MTBS Clinic and a control group (healthy babies) as many as 35 mothers & babies in Jatimulyo Village in March-April 2024. Results: The results of the Chi-square test value of exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of illness obtained a significant p-value of 0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding has a significant effect on the incidence of illness in infants aged 6-12 months. Thus, it is expected that mothers can provide exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months. Future research can examine other factors (maternal condition, maternal psychology, and environment) that can affect exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of illness.

Abstract

Background: According to the Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) data, the exclusive breastfeeding rate in Indonesia in 2022 was 67.96%. Data from 2021 indicated that Jambi Province had a rate of exclusive breastfeeding below the national average. Providing counseling to breastfeeding mothers and offering additional support through the use of galactagogues aims to enhance knowledge, attitudes, and practices among postpartum mothers to support the process of milk production. Purpose: To assess the impact of educational videos about galactagogues on the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of postpartum mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. Sampling was conducted using probability sampling with a systematic sampling technique based on odd-even selection, with an average sample size of 16 postpartum mothers per group. The instruments used included questionnaires for knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, and educational videos. Data analysis employed the Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney test, and MANCOVA. Results: The study found significant p-values for the educational video media in pretest-posttest assessments: knowledge (p-value = 0.001), attitudes (p-value = 0.001), and behaviors (p-value = 0.002). Educational videos were found to be more effective than lecture-based media, with p-values of 0.000 for knowledge, 0.005 for attitudes, and no significant effect on behavior with a p-value of 0.137. The test MANCOVA showed that age, education, and occupation did not significantly affect changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Conclusion: There is a significant impact of providing galactagogue education through video media on the knowledge and attitudes of postpartum mothers. Although there were changes in behavior before and after the video intervention, no significant difference was found between the video and lecture media regarding behavior. It is recommended to use video media as an educational tool in classes for pregnant and postpartum mothers, because it is more interesting, efficient, and easily accessible to mothers.

Abstract

Marriage is a physical and spiritual bond between a man and a woman to build a life together, fostering a family. West Sulawesi Province is the region with the highest rate of early marriage in Indonesia. According to the 2020 National Social and National Survey (SUSENAS) data, the rate of early marriage in West Sulawesi reached 10.05 percent. These figures demonstrate that early marriage remains prevalent in Indonesia. Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between socioeconomic and cultural factors and adolescent marriage in the working area of the Campalagian Health Center. Methods: An analytic survey with a cross-sectional design was used in this study, conducted in 2024. The population consisted of women of childbearing age (WUS) aged 15–25 years. A total of 87 participants were selected using purposive sampling and the Slovin formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test with the assistance of SPSS software. Results: The findings showed a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and adolescent marriage (p = 0.000 < 0.05), and between cultural values and adolescent marriage (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Among respondents who married before the age of 20, most had lower socioeconomic backgrounds or were influenced by traditions such as early arranged marriages. Conclusion: There is a significant association between socioeconomic and cultural factors and adolescent marriage in the Campalagian Health Center area. The study recommends that the government strengthen education and advocacy programs to reduce early marriage practices and raise awareness of its long-term health and social impacts.

Abstract

Background: Antenatal classes serve as a learning platform for pregnant women regarding pregnancy and childbirth preparation. This literature review aims to map the literature and evidence-based practices related to antenatal class implementation. Purpose:  This  scoping  review  aims to assess the implementation of Antenatal Classes. Methods: This study adopts a literature review design. Initial searches for journal articles were conducted on the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases from 2019 to 2024. The study identified 78 articles, of which only six journal articles met the inclusion criteria. Literature review procedures: collecting library data, reading, and note-taking, as well as critically assessing research materials. Results: According to the literature review, the implementation of antenatal classes yields numerous benefits, reducing stress and anxiety symptoms for both pregnant women and their partners in facing pregnancy and childbirth. Providing comprehensive and continuous material can enhance pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior changes in preventing complications. Conclusion: Antenatal classes benefit mothers in preparing for a healthy pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, transitioning into motherhood, and enabling early detection. Support from husbands and families to attend antenatal classes can boost the mother's confidence. A research gap identified for future studies is the variation in facilitators (healthcare professionals) of antenatal classes between developed and developing countries. Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) is implemented in developed countries by involving specialized doctors, midwives, and nutritionists as facilitators in antenatal class implementation.

Abstract

Background: The widespread use of mobile phones and electronic media devices (EMDs) has raised public health concerns, particularly regarding their potential effects during pregnancy. Pregnant women may be at increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes due to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and prolonged screen time. Despite the growing body of research, comprehensive syntheses specifically addressing gadget use during pregnancy remain limited. Purpose: This systematic review synthesizes evidence on the effects of gadget use during pregnancy on maternal health and fetal development. Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review approach guided by the PRISMA framework. Relevant literature was retrieved from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases using specific keywords related to gadget use and pregnancy. The inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, written in either English or Indonesian, that involved pregnant women and examined physical, mental, or developmental outcomes. The quality of the 19 selected studies was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), and data extraction covered study design, outcomes, and key implications. Results: Nineteen studies met the inclusion and quality criteria, comprising mostly quantitative non-randomized designs. The findings show that excessive gadget use during pregnancy—particularly prolonged screen exposure and mobile phone use—is associated with increased maternal anxiety, depression, hypertensive disorders, lower birth weight, shortened gestational periods, and developmental issues in children, including speech delays and poor motor skills. However, a few studies reported no significant cognitive impact on offspring. Conclusion: Prolonged electronic device use during pregnancy has been associated with adverse maternal and fetal health outcomes. Given the potential risks, healthcare providers should recommend limiting screen exposure and developing clearer guidelines for safe gadget use during pregnancy. Further research is needed to define exposure thresholds and explore long-term impacts on child health.
