Abstract

Correction of: https://wmmjournal.org/index.php/wmm/article/view/142 DOI: https://doi.org/10.36749/wmm.4.1.8-16.2024 Background: Reproductive health education is obtaining information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships, and intimacy. Mothers are the primary caregivers and have an essential role in providing reproductive health and sexual education to adolescents. Parents' lack of reproductive health education triggers deviation; therefore, parents, especially mothers, can provide comprehensive reproductive health education to prevent free sexual behaviour and sexual crimes in adolescents. Purpose: To measure the knowledge and perception of mothers about adolescent reproductive health Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a descriptive design. The study involved 135 respondents who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Analysis using descriptive, T-test and Pearson correlation. Results: More than 50% of respondents answered that adolescents' reproductive health education should be parents' responsibility and education should begin during elementary school. There was a correlation between mothers' knowledge and perception of adolescent reproductive health (r=0.44, p<0.001). Most mothers were afraid of providing sex education due to their ignorance of teaching methods and their lack of knowledge, and mothers wanted to learn about adolescent reproductive health from experts. Conclusion: Mothers want to learn more about sex education from experts or health workers. They were interested in male/female sexual structure and sexual physiology. Open communication between mother and child on sex-related issues is essential. Providing accurate and up-to-date sex education information to parents is vital to effectively educating their children at home.

Abstract

Background: Massage in children has been recognized as an effective method to stimulate growth due to its impact on neurochemical processes. One of the primary mechanisms involved is the stimulation of beta-endorphin, a neurochemical that plays a crucial role in increasing the amount and activation of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in tissues. This enzyme is essential for cell growth and differentiation, contributing to optimal development in infants. Additionally, massage promotes the release of other growth hormones, further supporting physical and neurological development. Baby massage is performed through gentle rubs on the skin's surface, which not only enhances growth but also provides comfort, improves circulation, and strengthens the emotional bond between mother and baby. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of providing pocketbooks as an educational tool to enhance maternal knowledge and ability in performing baby massage. By improving maternal skills and awareness regarding baby massage techniques, this intervention sought to maximize the potential benefits of baby massage in infant development. Methods: This study utilized a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically employing a non-equivalent control group research method. The research was conducted at Rini Hartini’s Midwife Practice Place and involved a total of 34 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The respondents were divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received educational pocketbooks and was assessed on their knowledge and ability to perform baby massage before and after the intervention. Data collection was carried out using structured questionnaires and a skills checklist to measure both knowledge and practical ability. Results: The findings revealed a significant improvement in maternal knowledge and ability in the intervention group compared to the control group. Pre-test and post-test assessments demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the scores, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). This indicates that the intervention, in the form of providing pocketbooks, had a positive effect on increasing maternal competence in baby massage. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the provision of pocketbooks as an educational tool effectively enhances maternal knowledge and practical skills in performing baby massage. The study findings highlight the importance of accessible educational resources in improving maternal childcare practices. The outcomes of this research are expected to contribute to further studies and interventions aimed at optimizing infant growth and development through informed parental involvement. The research findings have been published in accredited national journals, ensuring the dissemination of valuable knowledge to a broader audience in the medical and child health sectors.

Abstract

Background: Perimenstrual symptoms can decrease the productivity of working women and interfere with their daily lives. Women with lower stress management skills are less flexible in choosing stress-coping strategies, cannot manage stress appropriately, and may experience severe perimenstrual symptoms. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress management skills and perimenstrual symptoms among young Japanese working women. Methods: The participants were Japanese working women aged 20–29 years who were not on leave of absence from work, regardless of their profession or employment status. Stress management skills were assessed using the Sense of Coherence [SOC-13] and Brief Scale for Coping Profile [BSCP]. Perimenstrual symptoms assessed using the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire [MDQ]. Results: Of the participants with symptoms, 158 (89.3%) experienced some disruption. Premenstrual MDQ scores were negatively associated with adaptive qualities for coping with stress and positively associated with stress coping by changing one’s point of view. MDQ scores during menstruation were negatively associated with adaptive qualities for coping with stress and stress coping through avoidance and suppression. Conclusion: Perimenstrual symptoms were more severe among the participants with inadequate stress management.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of impaired growth due to chronic malnutrition during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK), from conception to two years of age. According to WHO data from 2020, approximately 149.2 million children under five worldwide suffer from stunting, 53% of whom are in Asia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting reaches 26.9% (Riskesdas, 2018), and in DKI Jakarta, it stands at 14.8% (SSGI, 2022). Stunting significantly impacts physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. One factor increasing the risk of stunting is adolescents’ lack of knowledge regarding nutrition, reproductive health, and early marriage. Choosing the appropriate educational media is crucial for reaching adolescents. Web-based educational applications offer several advantages, such as broad accessibility, ease of use, and the ability to deliver engaging interactive content. This media allows adolescents to access information anytime and anywhere, making the learning process more flexible and effective. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of stunting prevention education using the Regating application compared to the Booklet in improving adolescent knowledge and attitudes. The research design is a quasi-experiment with a control group, using pretest and posttest methods. The sample consisted of 100 female adolescents who had never received stunting education and owned a mobile phone, selected randomly. Data analysis was performed using the Paired Sample T-Test for paired groups and the Unpaired T-Test for unpaired groups. The results show a significant increase in students' knowledge and attitudes after the intervention. Knowledge scores increased by 6.876 points in the Booklet group and 9.878 points in the Regating group. Attitude scores increased by 5.98 points in the Booklet group and 16.72 points in the Regating group. The p-value of 0.000 indicates a statistically significant difference. The Regating application proved more effective than the Booklet in improving students' knowledge and attitudes toward stunting prevention. In conclusion, a web-based application can serve as an effective educational tool if implemented sustainably and supported by various stakeholders to break the intergenerational cycle of stunting. This includes integrating the application into school education programs, using it as an educational resource for health professionals, and promoting it for community and parental education.

Abstract

Background: Gender inequality significantly affects women's reproductive health and overall well-being. Midwives play a crucial role in addressing these issues through gender-equitable practices. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gender equality-based learning programs in shaping the character of undergraduate midwifery students. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 298 midwifery students in DKI Jakarta was conducted. Data collection used sequential sampling and a validated questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Logistic regression analyzed associations between students' characteristics and gender-equitable character. Results: Students with poor gender knowledge were 30 times more likely to exhibit gender-inequity characters (OR=30.18, 95% CI=11.40-79.91). Negative attitudes towards gender concepts increased the risk of gender-inequity characters by 44% (OR=1.44, 95% CI=1.05-1.98). A learning environment lacking gender equity doubled this risk (OR=2.83, 95% CI=1.98-4.04). Conclusion: Incorporating gender-equitable concepts and practices into midwifery curricula is essential for developing gender-equitable midwives. This integration could reduce gender disparities and improve health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Preconception services provide women with a variety of programs that start when they are teenagers and continue through pregnancy. These programs are designed to ensure a healthy pregnancy. A well-prepared pregnancy is less likely to cause problems for both mother and child. Approximately 800 women died every day in 2020, contributing to a Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) of 223 for every 100,000 live births. By 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will reduce the MMR to 70 per 100,000 live births. Strengthening healthcare systems especially for preconception services are urgent to reduce maternal and child health risks. Supporting projects that aim to improve the accessibility and quality of preconception and other reproductive health services is something the World Health Organization is doing to fill the gaps that exist in these areas. Purpose: The following research efforts aim to provide a comprehensive picture of the implementation of preconception care. Methods: This study used a scoping review method that goes through several stages, including (1) Identifying scoping review questions, which refer to the PCC framework; (2) Identifying relevant articles using three databases (PubMed, Ebsco, and ScienceDirect) with keywords (implementation*) and (preconception*) or (preconception care*) and (expectant parent*). (3) Selection of articles, 303 articles were obtained which were then filtered into 6 articles; (4) Data charting and quality assessment of articles using Mixed Methods Appraisal Tools (MMAT); and (5) Presentation of data/results, discussion, and conclusions. Conclusion: Preconception services can help identify potential problems in women and men that could potentially hinder the couple from obtaining a pregnancy. Couples can be given treatment when problems are found, to prepare a safe and heathy pregnancy. Lack of awareness, unsupportive facilities, and expensive service fees become obstacles. Policies and roles of various parties are needed to support and improve the quality of preconception care.

Abstract

Background: One of the global targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2030 is to reduce maternal mortality rate (MMR) to below 70/100.000 live births and infant mortality rate (IMR) to 2/1000 live births. One of the factors that complicates childbirth is inadequate contractions, which is influenced by oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by neurohypophysis that causes uterine contractions during delivery. One of the traditional herbs that can be used to increase contractions is Fatimah grass (Anastatica hierochuntica). A. hierochuntica was used in Arabs, Indonesia, and Malaysia (63,9%) to shorten labor time, breastfeeding, and reduce postpartum hemorrhage by traditional. Purpose: This purpose was to identify the potency of A. hierochuntica as an oxytocin stimulator by invitro and invivo study. Methods: The method used a true experiment with a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) and posttest design with a control group design of four groups (G1-G4). The research subject was 28 pregnant mice. Results: The results of this research were A. hierochuntica has flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, phenolic, tannin, and saponin secondary metabolites. A. hireochuntica have activity to increase the oxytocin hormone levels in pregnant mice (G1 averaged 49.79; G2 averaged 83.38; G3 averaged 91.05; and G4 averaged 101.39 pg/ml), increase the contraction of onset time (G2 averaged 17; G2 averaged 14.71; and G4 averaged 13.57 minutes) and shorten labor time. Conclusion: The use of A. hierochuntica decoction significantly increases levels of the oxytocin and uterine contractions. The use of A. hireochuntica in delivery women as traditional herbs requires monitoring from health workers because of its strong ability to increase contractions, and must be done carefully with health worker recommendation.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is one of prevalent form of malnutrition affecting children worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 148.1 million children under the age of five are classified as stunted, meaning their height is below the expected standard for their age. It is suspected that stunting associated with developmental delays in children. Stunting can result from multiple factors, one of which is the lack of maternal knowledge and awareness regarding this condition. Purpose: This study aims to describe the experiences and understanding of mothers with children diagnosed with stunting. Methods: This research employs a qualitative descriptive design. The study sample consists of eight mothers with stunted children aged 1–5 years, selected using purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis. Results: The findings indicate that most respondents perceive stunting merely as a condition characterized by short stature and low body weight, often attributing it to genetic factors. Their knowledge and understanding of children's dietary patterns and maternal nutrition during pregnancy remain incomplete. Additionally, environmental hygiene practices are limited to basic activities such as sweeping, mopping, and dusting, without considering other hygiene aspects that may impact child health. Conclusion: Although respondents regularly attend posyandu (integrated health service posts) and acknowledge its benefits, and receive information about stunting from multiple sources such as posyandu, midwives, and community health volunteers (kader kesehatan), the absence of a structured and routine stunting awareness program in the village poses a significant challenge in strengthening maternal understanding and prevention efforts. The information received is lacks depth, resulting in suboptimal application of knowledge in daily practices.
