Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding success plays a crucial role in optimizing child growth and development. Maternal knowledge, satisfaction, and self-efficacy are key influencing factors, all of which can be enhanced through support from health professionals in the form of guidance and counseling during the breastfeeding period. In Indonesia’s Midwifery Professional Education curriculum, one of the learning outcomes for students is providing care for breastfeeding mothers. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program on breastfeeding success. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-post design without a control group. The study involved 23 breastfeeding mothers in Padang City who participated in the One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program. Data collection employed three instruments: the Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBES) to measure satisfaction, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) to measure self-efficacy, and a breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire developed by Susiloretni et al. The study received ethical approval. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests with a 95% confidence interval. Results: The findings showed significant improvements across all variables. The mean knowledge score increased from 20.7391 (SD = 2.32022) before the intervention to 23.3043 (SD = 1.94082) after (p < 0.001). Maternal satisfaction improved from 62.4348 (SD = 9.42832) to 67.6522 (SD = 7.14530) (p = 0.049). Self-efficacy increased from 38.9565 (SD = 10.85641) to 45.6087 (SD = 8.02688) (p = 0.036). Conclusion: The One Student One Breastfeeding Woman program was found to be significantly effective in improving breastfeeding success by enhancing maternal knowledge, satisfaction, and self-efficacy. This program can bze integrated as part of the learning outcomes in postpartum and breastfeeding care within the Midwifery Professional Education curriculum and may serve as a strategy to support exclusive breastfeeding achievement. This finding highlights the potential of student-led breastfeeding support as an innovative model for maternal and child health promotion.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents are an age group highly exposed to social media in their daily lives. The high intensity of social media use has raised concerns about its negative impact on adolescent mental health. Purpose: This review aims to map the scientific evidence related to the impact of social media on mental health in adolescents. Methods: Using the Arksey and O'Malley scoping review framework, this study followed five key stages: formulating the research question, identifying relevant literature, selecting appropriate studies, organizing the data, and reporting the findings. Articles were searched through the PubMed database and the Google Scholar search engine, covering publication years 2021–2025. A total of 80 articles were screened using the PRISMA flowchart and critical appraisal, following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, resulting in eight articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: Three main themes emerged: intensity of social media use, disturbed sleep quality, and mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Most adolescents use social media for more than three hours per day, with TikTok and WhatsApp being the dominant platforms. High usage correlates with increased sleep disturbances and the risk of depressive symptoms and stress. Conclusion: Social media has a significant impact on adolescent mental health. Digital literacy education and parental supervision are crucial to prevent these negative impacts.

Abstract

Background: congenital anomalies are structural or functional anomalies that occur during intrauterine life and might be identified before, at birth or later in life. An estimated 6% of babies worldwide are born with a congenital disorder, resulting in 17% to 42% deaths among infants and 20% to 30% of stillbirths. In Tanzania, its prevalence is estimated to be 60.5 per 1000 live births. Majority of these are due to multifactorial including chromosomal anomalies. Its impact in our African societies extends to social consequences including stigmatization, divorce and witchcraft suspicions. Case Presentation: we present a case report of syndromic baby with major congenital malformation associated with Oral facial cleft, Congenital hydrocephalus, Acyanotic congenital heart disease VSD, Amniotic band syndrome on left lower limb and fingers of upper limbs. This is the first case to be reported in Tanzanian Context

Abstract

Background: rapid physical and psychological growth, especially fine motor development, characterizes the preschool period. Delays in fine motor skills can affect children's self-confidence and learning in the future. Purpose: this study aimed to examine the effect of puzzle-based educational stimulation on fine motor outcomes among preschool children using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST II). Methods: a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed, involving 46 children from TK Dharma Wanita 1 Keniten, Kediri, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Fine motor outcomes were assessed based on DDST II fine motor adaptive items, including tasks such as building towers, copying shapes, and drawing. Results: the fine motor development status of preschool aged children in the intervention group increased from 60.9% at pretest to 100% at posttest, whereas the control group also showed a smaller improvement from 78.3% to 95.7%. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant improvement within the intervention group (p < 0.005). However, the Mann Whitney U test showed no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the posttest scores Conclusion: puzzle-based stimulation effectively enhances children’s fine motor development, highlighting its potential as an engaging educational strategy in early childhood programs

Abstract

Background: diastasis Recti Abdominis Muscle (DRAM), a condition characterized by the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba, commonly occurs postpartum and may impair quality of life. Yoga has been proposed as a non-invasive intervention to address this issue through core muscle engagement and tissue remodeling. Purpose: this study aims to determine the effectiveness of yoga in accelerating the recovery of diastasis recti abdominis muscle in postpartum women. Methods: this quasi-experimental study employed a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Forty-eight postpartum women (4–10 days postpartum) were recruited, with 45 meeting the inclusion criteria and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in structured yoga sessions (20 minutes/session, 4 times/week for 3 weeks), while the control group received routine postnatal exercise advice. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. DRAM width was measured using a digital caliper. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Results: data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. A significant reduction in DRAM was observed in the intervention group, with the mean width decreasing from 29.50 ± 3.39 mm to 9.38 ± 2.62 mm (p = 0.000), while the control group showed only a minor decrease (28.09 ± 3.05 mm to 26.03 ± 2.37 mm). Conclusion: the structured yoga intervention demonstrated consistent results with lower post-intervention variability. Yoga exercise significantly improves DRAM recovery in postpartum women by enhancing abdominal muscle strength and supporting tissue regeneration. Yoga is a safe, effective, and reproducible intervention for postpartum rehabilitation

Abstract

Background: female child marriage (FCM) remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Despite legal reforms such as the revision of the Marriage Law in 2019, FCM continues to occur at alarming rates, leading to harmful health, educational, and economic consequences for young girls. Purpose: to examine the prevalence and determinants of FCM in Indonesia through a secondary data analysis of the 2012 and 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Surveys (IDHS). Methods: a secondary data analysis was conducted using weighted samples from the 2012 and 2017 IDHS datasets. Multivariate analysis was performed to examine associations between socio-demographic and other relevant variables with the likelihood of female children (aged 15-18 years) entering marriage. The study focused on identifying temporal trends and key risk factors contributing to early marriage among Indonesian female children. Results: this study revealed a decrease in female child marriage prevalence, from 9.15% in 2012 to 7.10% in 2017. Logistic regression analysis indicated that younger age (15–16), rural residence, and low economic status consistently increased the likelihood of early marriage. In 2012, poor STI knowledge and family planning discussions were significant predictors, while in 2017, smoking behavior and employment status became influential factors, reflecting ongoing social dynamics and structural challenges. Conclusion: female child marriage in Indonesia is strongly influenced by low education, poverty, rural residence, and limited STI knowledge. The findings highlight the need for improved education access, economic support, and tailored reproductive health programs

Abstract

Background: exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is critical for neonatal health, but complications like jaundice can disrupt early feeding due to mother-infant separation. Midwifery Continuity of Care (MCoC), where a known midwife provides consistent support throughout the perinatal period, may play a crucial role in maintaining EBF during such challenges. This case report aims to explore the role of MCoC in sustaining exclusive breastfeeding during mother-infant separation due to neonatal jaundice. Case Presentation: a 29-year-old woman (G2P1A0) received MCoC from early pregnancy through postpartum. After a cesarean delivery due to preeclampsia, her newborn developed jaundice with a total bilirubin level of 15.31 mg/dL and an index bilirubin of 14.96 mg/dL. It required 48 hours of phototherapy and NICU admission. Despite separation, the mother sustained lactation through regular milk expression, supported by her midwife, husband, and family. The mother had received education from the midwife about the importance of breastfeeding for the baby, starting from pregnancy until after delivery. The continuous presence and support of the midwife empowered the mother to remain consistent in expressing breast milk until the baby’s condition improved, allowing the infant to continue receiving exclusive breastfeeding. After receiving phototherapy, the infant’s bilirubin level decreased to 9.82 mg/dL and the baby was discharged in stable condition. Exclusive breastfeeding was successfully continued post-discharge Discussion: this case highlights the important role of MCoC in supporting successful exclusive breastfeeding in infants with neonatal jaundice. Through ongoing education and support, midwives help mothers continue to provide expressed breast milk during phototherapy, which contributes to lowering bilirubin levels. The MCoC approach strengthens mothers' confidence and emotional resilience, while also increasing breastfeeding success in complex medical conditions Conclusion: MCoC is a valuable model for supporting EBF during mother-infant separation caused by jaundice. It empowers mothers through continuous clinical, emotional, and educational support, ensuring continuity of care and improved breastfeeding outcomes. This case underscores the importance of integrating MCoC into midwifery practice and policy to enhance breastfeeding outcomes and maternal-infant health
