Abstract

ABSTRACT Postpartum blues is a mild emotional disorder often experienced by mothers after childbirth, characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, crying spells, and mood swings. This condition can impact the mother's psychological health and the baby's care process if not properly managed. This study aims to determine the management of postpartum blues in postpartum mothers experiencing sadness or depression about their babies. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytical design. The sample consisted of 35 postpartum mothers selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire and observation sheets. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. The results of the study showed that most mothers experienced mild to moderate postpartum blues. Factors influencing postpartum blues include lack of family support, hormonal changes, physical exhaustion, and anxiety in caring for a baby. Effective management includes emotional family support, health education, counseling, and assistance from healthcare professionals. The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.003 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of postpartum blues management on the psychological well-being of mothers after childbirth. It was concluded that proper management of postpartum blues can help reduce the level of sadness and depression in mothers after giving birth and improve the mother's ability to care for her baby.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a significant public health problem among adolescents. Lack of knowledge regarding reproductive health often contributes to risky behaviors that increase the likelihood of STI transmission. This study aimed to determine the relationship between adolescents’ knowledge of reproductive health and their behavior in preventing sexually transmitted infections. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytic design and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 40 adolescents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires related to reproductive health knowledge and STI prevention behavior. Data analysis was conducted using univariate analysis and Chi-Square statistical tests. The results showed that most adolescents had a moderate level of reproductive health knowledge. Adolescents with good knowledge tended to demonstrate better preventive behaviors against sexually transmitted infections. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.002 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between adolescents’ knowledge of reproductive health and their behavior in preventing sexually transmitted infections. In conclusion, adolescents’ knowledge of reproductive health is significantly related to preventive behaviors against sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, health education and reproductive health promotion among adolescents need to be improved to reduce the risk of STI transmission.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Gestational hypertension is a pregnancy complication that can increase the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Early detection of gestational hypertension is crucial to prevent the development of preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications. One screening method that can be used is the Roll Over Test ( ROT) , which is performed at approximately 28–32 weeks of gestation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of routine Roll Over Tests at 32 weeks of gestation in early detection of gestational hypertension in pregnant women in the third trimester . The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytical design. The sample consisted of 40 pregnant women in their third trimester undergoing antenatal care. Data were collected through blood pressure measurements using the Rolling Test method and observations of pregnancy conditions. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi- Square test . The results showed that 30% of respondents had a positive Rollover Test result. The analysis showed a significant association between a positive Rollover Test result and the incidence of gestational hypertension (p = 0.003). Routine check-ups at 32 weeks of gestation can help identify pregnant women at risk of developing gestational hypertension early .

Abstract

Gut microbiota play an important role in maintaining human health, including metabolism, immune function, and gastrointestinal health. Traditional fermented foods contain various probiotic microorganisms that may influence the composition and diversity of gut microbiota. However, evidence regarding the relationship between traditional fermented food consumption and gut microbiota diversity remains limited, particularly among Indonesian populations. This study aims to analyze the diversity of gut microbiota among individuals with different traditional fermented food consumption patterns. This study used a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design employing a cross-sectional method. The study involved 80 adults aged 20–50 years who were categorized into high and low fermented food consumption groups based on Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) results. Fecal samples were collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Gut microbial diversity was assessed using the Shannon-Wiener, Chao1, and Simpson diversity indices. Data analysis was performed using the Independent t-test and Spearman correlation test.The results showed that participants with high traditional fermented food consumption had significantly higher Shannon-Wiener diversity indices compared to those with low consumption (4.52 ± 0.38 vs. 3.89 ± 0.41; p < 0.001). In addition, the relative abundances of beneficial bacterial genera, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Faecalibacterium, were significantly greater in the high-consumption group. Statistical analysis also revealed a positive correlation between fermented food consumption frequency and gut microbiota diversity (r = 0.621; p < 0.001). The study concludes that traditional fermented food consumption is associated with greater gut microbiota diversity and increased abundance of beneficial bacterial taxa. These findings suggest that regular consumption of traditional fermented foods may contribute positively to gut health and overall well-being

Abstract

Background: Domestic waste is one of the major environmental pollutants generated from household activities, including wastewater, kitchen waste, detergents, and organic waste. Improper domestic waste management can reduce water quality around residential areas and negatively affect public health and aquatic ecosystems. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between domestic waste management and water quality around residential areas. Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in residential areas with high domestic activity. Data regarding domestic waste management were collected through observation sheets and questionnaires, while water quality was assessed through physical, chemical, and biological examinations. Parameters analyzed included temperature, color, odor, pH, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), and coliform bacteria levels. The data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. Results: The results showed that most households had inadequate domestic waste management practices. Poor waste management was associated with declining water quality, indicated by increased BOD, COD, TSS, and coliform bacteria levels. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between domestic waste management and water quality (p<0.05). Conclusion: Improper domestic waste management contributes to water quality degradation around residential areas. Improving household waste management systems is necessary to maintain environmental quality and reduce public health risks.

Abstract

Children with Down syndrome (DS) require continuous multidisciplinary rehabilitation to address delays in cognitive, motor, language, and adaptive development. However, conventional monitoring methods remain fragmented, limiting communication among therapists, parents, and teachers and reducing the continuity of care. This study explored therapists' perspectives on the development of an integrated digital monitoring system for children with DS.A descriptive qualitative study was conducted between May and June 2026 in Pontianak City and Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Nine therapists representing speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and behavioral therapy were purposively recruited. Data were collected through semi structured in depth interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.Six major themes emerged: (1) developmental challenges faced by children with DS, (2) barriers to home based therapy, (3) the need for an integrated digital monitoring system, (4) essential system features, (5) collaboration among therapists, parents, and teachers, and (6) limitations of current monitoring practices. Therapists emphasized that an integrated digital platform should support real time developmental tracking, home therapy monitoring, video based documentation, automated progress reports, and secure communication among stakeholders. Such a system was perceived as essential for strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, improving continuity of rehabilitation, and supporting individualized interventions.Therapists recognized the urgent need for an integrated digital monitoring system to overcome the limitations of conventional monitoring. The proposed system has the potential to enhance family centered rehabilitation, facilitate evidence based clinical decision making, and improve developmental outcomes for children with DS.
