Abstract

Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels leaves are a source of flavonoid-rich bioactive compounds with potential for nano-based delivery. This study formulated an oil-in-water nanoemulsion containing ethanolic jamblang leaf extract, characterized its physicochemical properties, and evaluated the in vitro release profile and kinetics of quercetin as a marker compound. The extract was obtained by maceration with 70% ethanol and incorporated into a nanoemulsion containing virgin coconut oil, Tween 80, Span 80, propylene glycol, and water. Organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential were evaluated. Quercetin release was assessed using a dialysis-membrane method in pH 4.5 buffer and quantified by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Release data were fitted to zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, Hixson–Crowell, and Korsmeyer–Peppas models. The nanoemulsion had a pH of 4.34 ± 0.09, viscosity of 137.3 ± 1.10 mPa·s, mean droplet size of 88.46 ± 3.46 nm, PDI of 0.05, and zeta potential of +1.027 ± 0.65 mV. Cumulative quercetin release reached 99.56% at 90 min. Among models fitted to the complete release curve, the first-order model provided the best fit (R² = 0.9776; k = 0.0589 min⁻¹). These findings indicate a nanoscale, narrowly distributed system with rapid quercetin release under the selected acidic test condition; extrapolation to other physiological pH conditions requires further study.

Abstract

Background: Understanding mothers’ perceptions can help explain how they choose infant massage services. Objective: To explore mothers’ perceptions when choosing massage services for infants aged 3–6 months in Sei Padang Neighborhood, Medan Baru District. Methods: This exploratory qualitative case study involved ten purposively selected mothers who had used infant massage services. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. Interview transcripts and field notes were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: Five interrelated themes emerged: perceived benefits for infants; service quality and professionalism; recommendations from family or relatives; social media as an information source; and comfort, safety, and accessibility. Mothers reported that their infants slept more soundly and appeared calmer, and described perceived changes in appetite. Clean facilities, friendly providers, and explanations of procedures reinforced trust. Recommendations and digital information informed service choices, while proximity facilitated visits. Conclusion: Mothers’ choices reflected interrelated experiences, trust, assessments of service quality, and accessibility. Providers should communicate their qualifications, procedures, costs, and the limitations of the evidence regarding benefits through responsive, family-centred care. The findings describe maternal perceptions rather than clinical effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Digital video education may support maternal preparation for complementary feeding. Objective: To assess changes in maternal knowledge of appropriate complementary feeding after digital video education. Methods: This single-group pretest–posttest study included 30 purposively selected mothers of infants aged 0–6 months at Pera Independent Midwifery Practice in April 2026. Knowledge was assessed using a 22-item true–false questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test for paired score differences, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used. Effect size was calculated as r = |Z|/√n, with n representing nonzero pairs. Results: Mean scores increased from 11.83 ± 1.763 to 19.93 ± 1.311, a difference of 8.10 points or a 68.5% relative increase. All mothers had higher posttest scores; the proportion with good knowledge increased from 0% to 100%. The difference was statistically significant (Z = −4.850; p < 0.001; r = 0.89). Conclusion: Knowledge scores increased after digital video education in this sample. Videos may complement midwifery counseling, but the absence of a control group limits causal inference. Knowledge retention and changes in feeding practices require further evaluation.
