Abstract

Breast care for postpartum mothers can prevent various problems such as mastitis, blocked milk ducts, and breast infections. Healthy breasts support smooth breastfeeding which also affects the well-being of the baby. The motivation of postpartum mothers to carry out breast care is influenced by the knowledge they have and their attitudes towards breast care itself. Good knowledge will encourage a positive attitude, which then increases the motivation to take actions that are beneficial for breast health. The purpose of thstudy was to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of postpartum mothers and the motivation of postpartum mothers to carry out breast care. The design of this study was a cross-sectional approach. The population of postpartum mothers who gave birth in December 2024 to February 2025 at independent midwifery clinic Sulami. The sampling technique used total sampling and the data was analysed using chi square. The respondents in this study were 25 postpartum mothers with the majority of postpartum mothers in the non-risk age category (80%), 60% had high school education, and 15 postpartum mothers did not work (housewife). The knowledge of postpartum mothers is in the good category (40%) and the attitude of postpartum mothers is in the positive category (76%), while the motivation of postpartum mothers in carrying out breast care is included in the good category (52%). The results of the study showed that the knowledge and motivation of postpartum mothers ρ = 0.01, which means that the knowledge of postpartum mothers is related to the motivation of postpartum mothers in carrying out breast care. Meanwhile, the attitude and motivation of postpartum mothers ρ = 0.03, which means that the attitude of postpartum mothers is related to the motivation of postpartum mothers in carrying out breast care.

Abstract

One of the causes of work accidents is non-compliance with the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) communication is one of the company's efforts to improve the safety and health performance of workers. Based on field observations, internal OHS communication has been implemented in the company. However, it is known that there are still many workers who do not behave safely when using PPE. Furthermore, 83% of the observed workers did not comply with the standards for using PPE. This figure indicates that the level of worker compliance with PPE use is still significantly lacking for safe work and, if left unchecked, can have fatal consequences. Thus, research is needed to explore the influence of providing internal OHS communication on workers' compliance with PPE use. This quantitative research used a cross-sectional observation method. The research findings show that there is no influence between internal OHS communication and the level of worker compliance with PPE use, where the P-value is >α (0.890>0.05). Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to workers and staff, with a total of 44 respondents. Logistic regression was used for data analysis in this study. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of implementing internal OHS communication on the level of worker compliance with PPE use.

Abstract

Breast Milk (BM) is the primary source of nutrition for newborns. Breast milk can be provided from birth, starting in the hospital and continuing throughout home care. Exclusive breastfeeding is rare among low birth weight (LBW) babies. This is due to parents' or caregivers' concerns about their baby's weight. Parents prefer to provide supplemental foods in addition to breast milk to accelerate weight gain. Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies who are given formula milk or other foods before 6 months of age are more susceptible to illness, making them more susceptible to illness. Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies can have serious health consequences, including stunting. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of breastfeeding on stunting in low birth weight babies. A cross-sectional approach was used with purposive sampling. The results and discussion in this study revealed that not all babies were exclusively breastfed; some were supplemented with formula milk. Breast milk and formula milk intake affect the baby's nutrient absorption, thereby influencing their nutritional status. It appears that all LBW babies who do not receive breast milk will experience stunting in their growth and development.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving skill that requires not only technical competency but also knowledge and critical decision-making. Assessing these competencies through reliable and valid tools is essential for evaluating training outcomes and ensuring preparedness of learners. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of a newly developed CPR questionnaire consisting of three sections: Knowledge (10 items), Critical Thinking (10 items), and Skill Development (10 items). Data were collected from 60 participants and analyzed using Kuder-Richardson Formula-20 (KR-20) and test-retest method for dichotomous items, Cronbach’s alpha for Likert-type items, item analysis (difficulty and discrimination indices), Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) for construct validity, and inter-scale correlations for convergent validity. Results showed high reliability coefficients across all sections (Knowledge KR-20 = 0.945, Knowledge (test-retest method) = 0.97, Critical Thinking KR-20 = 0.925, Critical Thinking (test-retest method) = 0.99, and Skill Development α = 0.967). Item analysis indicated moderate to high difficulty with strong discrimination indices, and no item was flagged for poor performance. The Skill Development scale showed acceptable sampling adequacy (KMO = 0.717) with evidence of strong inter-item correlations. Convergent validity was supported by strong correlations between Knowledge, Critical Thinking, and Skill scales (r = 0.84–0.94). The study concludes that the CPR questionnaire is a highly reliable and valid instrument for measuring CPR competencies. Recommendations include maintaining the items, revising overly easy critical thinking questions, and reducing redundancy in the skill section for efficiency.

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections remain global health issues which cause millions morbidity and mortality. Women of reproductive age represent one of the vulnerable groups, as limited knowledge can affect sexual behavior and elevate the risk of transmission.  This study seeks to examine the determinants influencing the knowledge of women of reproductive age regarding sexually transmitted infections. The research employed a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 115 respondent. The sample consisted of 54 participants. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling technique, and a questionnaire served as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test. The findings indicated that age and education did not show a significant association with the level of knowledge (p > 0.000), whereas access to information demonstrated a significant relationship with knowledge about sexually transmitted infections in the working area of Kedungrejo Public Health Center. The knowledge level of women of reproductive age was largely influenced by the availability and accessibility of relevant and up-to-date information. These findings indicate that older age or higher education does not necessarily correspond with increased knowledge about this disease if not supported by adequate information access. Conversely, individuals with good access to information tend to have higher knowledge levels, regardless of their age or education.
