Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health (MCH) services are critical interventions that improve maternal and child health outcomes globally.  Purpose: To review maternal and child health services: prevention of complications, reduction of maternal, neonatal, and child morbidity and mortality rates: Narrative review Method: A narrative review method was used to synthesize current evidence on effective MCH interventions. Results: Evidence from global and regional literature highlights effective interventions including antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric care, postnatal care, immunization, and nutrition programs. Conclusion: The need for strengthened health systems, community participation, and policy support is emphasized to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3.1 and 3.2. Suggestion: Implementing frequent CHW home visits is vital in the Prevention of Complications, Reduction of Maternal, Neonatal and Child Morbidity and Mortality Rate. Aim for multiple visits during both antenatal and postnatal periods, as the strongest neonatal mortality reduction (24%) occurred in studies with ≥ 3 visits and integrated antenatal plus postnatal care, Package interventions into comprehensive home-based care

Abstract

Background: A mother who has just given birth often experiences perineal tears due to episiotomy or spontaneous tears. Perineal wounds are tears that occur during childbirth, whether spontaneous or due to episiotomy. If proper care is not taken, it can lead to dangerous complications, such as infections in the bladder or birth canal. Purpose: to determine the implementation of health education on perineal wound care regarding the knowledge of postpartum mothers. Method: The knowledge level of both respondents before being given education was respondent 1 Ny.M (45%) and respondent 2 Ny.K (55%) which falls into the category of low knowledge level. After receiving education, the knowledge level of respondent 1 Ny.M (85%) and respondent 2 Ny.K (95%) results were categorized as good knowledge. Results: Education on perineal wound care show that there is an increase in mothers' knowledge levels after being provided with education. Conclusion: This education can enhance postpartum mothers' understanding of perineal wound care and can be beneficial for the development of maternity nursing knowledge.

Abstract

Background: The postpartum period is an important period marked by physical and emotional changes in postpartum mothers. Anxiety often arises during this time and affects the mother's independence in doing daily activities, including self-care and baby care. Purpose: to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and activity independence in postpartum mothers in Krueng Barona Jaya Public Health Center, Aceh Besar.. Method: The research employed a descriptive-correlational approach with a cross-sectional method. The population consisted of all postpartum mothers in Krueng Barona Jaya Health Center. The sample was 34 postpartum mothers selected using a total sampling technique.. The data analysis used the Chi-Square test. Results: The research results showed a significant relationship between anxiety levels and activity independence (p = 0.002). Mothers with high anxiety tend to have low activity independence, while mothers with low anxiety are more independent in their daily activities. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the level of anxiety and independence in activities in postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Background: One of the common problems experienced by postpartum mothers is low breast milk production. Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) and Phoenix dactylifera (dates) are known to contain galactagogue compounds that can stimulate prolactin and oxytocin hormones to enhance breast milk production. Purpose: To determine the effect of date extract and katuk leaves on increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers in the working area of Midwife N Private Practice, Bandung Regency. Method: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of two treatment groups, each comprising 10 respondents. The first group consumed 45 grams (3 tablespoons) of date extract once daily for seven days, while the second group consumed 100 grams of katuk leaves daily for seven days. Data was analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent t-tests. Results:The results showed that the mean breast milk volume before consuming date extract was 4.3 ml and increased to 57 ml after the intervention, with a mean difference of 52.7 ml (p = 0.000). In the katuk leaf group, the average milk production increased from 4.9 ml to 68 ml, with a mean difference of 63.1 ml (p = 0.000). There was a significant difference between the two interventions (p = 0.000), indicating that katuk leaves had a greater effect on increasing breast milk production compared to date extract. Conclusion: There is a difference of date palm extract and katuk leaves in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Suggestion: It is recommended that postpartum mothers consume katuk leaves and date extract as natural alternatives to enhance breast milk production

Abstract

Background: Children with special needs possess intellectual potential comparable to that of typically developing peers; however, they often face challenges related to communication, social adaptation, and learning that necessitate structured family and educational support. Within this context, family engagement plays a crucial role in fostering academic and psychosocial development, especially for children with hearing impairments who require inclusive learning environments. Purpose: to explore the application of the Family-Centered Nursing theory in the educational setting of children with hearing impairments, specifically analyzing the relationship between parental support and academic achievement. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed involving 44 parents of children with hearing impairments enrolled at the Special School (SLB) in Bojonegoro City, Indonesia. Data was obtained using a validated 22-item parental support questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.929) and students’ report card scores as indicators of academic performance. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Spearman’s rho correlation test. Results: The findings demonstrated a strong and positive correlation between parental support and academic achievement (Spearman’s rho = 0.870, p < 0.05). Higher levels of emotional, informational, appraisal, and instrumental support were significantly associated with better academic performance, with emotional support emerging as the most influential factor enhancing motivation and learning engagement among children. Conclusion: The study highlights the theoretical and practical significance of the Family-Centered Nursing approach beyond healthcare contexts, emphasizing its relevance in promoting inclusive education for children with disabilities. The results underscore the need for family-based educational interventions and interdisciplinary collaboration among nurses, educators, and policymakers to strengthen parental involvement and improve academic outcomes for children with hearing impairments.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a condition in which a baby is born weighing less than 2500 grams. Low birth weight, a leading cause of neonatal mortality, is caused by unstable body temperature. Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of the kangaroo and nesting methods on the body temperature of low birth weight infants in the Perinatology. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental method and was conducted from March to April 2025. The sample consisted of 32 infants treated in the Perinatology Unit of KH. Hayyung Regional General Hospital, Selayar Islands Regency, from March to April 2025, using accidental sampling. Results: The study showed that the kangaroo and nesting methods were effective in increasing body temperature in low birth weight infants, as indicated by a p-value <0.05. Conclusion: This means that the kangaroo and nesting methods significantly influence the body temperature of low birth weight infants. Suggestion: It is hoped that mothers who give birth to low-birth-weight babies will be able to use the kangaroo method and nesting methods in newborn care to maintain a stable body temperature
