Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the leading causes of infant mortality worldwide, especially in developing countries. Lack of health literacy among mothers of toddlers is one factor that worsens the early treatment of ARI. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of leaflet-based communicative counseling in improving the health literacy of mothers of toddlers to prevent ARI. Method: The research design was a quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was all mothers of 31 toddlers detected with ARI, selected using a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a valid and reliable questionnaire used to measure maternal knowledge before and after the intervention. Result: The results showed a significant increase in maternal knowledge after counseling (p = 0.000). Conclusion: This indicates that leaflet-based communicative counseling is efficacious in improving the health literacy of mothers of toddlers. It is recommended that health workers at community health centers routinely provide similar counseling.

Abstract

Background: One of the main causes of stunting is the lack of continuous energy intake in women of childbearing age (from adolescence, pre-conception to pregnancy) which results in Chronic Energy Deficiency during pregnancy which begins with the occurrence of "risk" and is characterized by low energy supply over a long period of time as measured by Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) of less than 23.5 cm or Body Mass Index (BMI) before pregnancy or The first trimester was below 18.5 Kg/m². Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the history of SEZ in pregnancy and maternal diet with the incidence of stunting. Method: This study is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional research design which was carried out in the working area of the South Wara Health Center in June-July 2025. There are three variables in this study, namely the free variable, the SEZ in Pregnancy and the Maternal Diet the variable is tied to stunting. The collection of SEZ history data in mothers was obtained from mothers of toddlers through interviews, Maternal and Child Health (KIA) books and stunting data using secondary data sourced from the 2024-2025 EPPGBM big data of 62 children. Results: Based on the results of statistical data using the Chi-square test, the value  = 0.000 < (0.05) was obtained. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between diet and SEZ and stunting incidence. Conclusion: The results of the study show that there is a relationship between Chronic Energy Deficiency in pregnant women and diet with the incidence of stunting in the working area of the South Wara Health Center in 2025.The results of the study also show that there is a relationship between Diet and SEZ and the incidence of stunting in the working area of the South Wara Health Center, Palopo City in 2025. Suggestion: The results of this study are expected to increase public knowledge about the relationship between chronic energy deficiency in pregnancy and maternal diet and the incidence of stunting and can provide input to the public to better understand the importance of the health of pregnant women, especially during the 1000 days of their child's life, as well as prevent risks that may occur in the future by providing good nutrition to pregnant women and children     Keywords: KEK, Diet and Stunting

Abstract

Background: Postpartum mothers undergoing vaginal delivery face a significant risk of perineal trauma, a condition with a high global prevalence (2.7 million cases in 2020, with 75% of the incidence in Indonesia) that, if not managed properly, can lead to serious complications such as infection, prolonged pain, and sexual dysfunction, exacerbated by the anatomical reality of persistent exposure to lochia moisture. Effective recovery fundamentally relies on crucial factors including hygiene, nutrition, and early mobilization, yet the role of family support a key determinant in decision-making and practical care remains underexplored, particularly in the highly multicultural context of Indonesia. This cultural perspective is crucial because local traditions and beliefs often introduce dietary or activity taboos that directly impact healing. Therefore, to address the common morbidity associated with perineal wounds and the recorded perineal rupture rate of 54% in regions such as West Java, this qualitative study is urgently needed to address the knowledge gap by in-depth exploring: "How does family support influence perineal wound healing from a cultural perspective?" Purpose: To deeply explore and describe the various forms of family support provided to postpartum mothers for perineal wound care, specifically examining the influence of diverse cultural aspects (cultural variables) within the Indonesian context. This focus on the cultural dimension represents the novelty of this research. Results: From analysis of interview transcripts with participants revealed two main themes describing the dimensions of family support: emotional, instrumental, and informational. Each theme consists of several. Emotional: Providing a sense of security and peace, as well as mental strength within the nuclear family. Instrumental: Providing nutritious food and drinks, managing the household, and caring for the baby. Informational: Information from health workers conveyed by the family, and selectively adapted traditional information.. Conclusion: Family support for perineal care in postpartum mothers, viewed from a cultural perspective, is comprehensive and can be categorized into four distinct themes. These themes highlight how culturally embedded practices and family dynamics significantly influence and enhance mothers' ability to perform appropriate perineal wound care, ultimately promising improved maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Background:Breast milk is mother's milk that contains many benefits for infant growth. Breastfeeding for 6 months is a requirement to be said to be Exclusive Breastfeeding. The success of Exclusive Breastfeeding is one of the benchmarks in fulfilling nutrition for infants. Global coverage of Exclusive Breastfeeding in 2024 reached 48% approaching the WHO target of 50% in 2025 but in 2030 WHO increased coverage to 60% exclusive breastfeeding coverage. Because the global target increased, in Indonesia the coverage of Exclusive Breastfeeding in 2024 became 66.4%. In the Province of DIY the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding was recorded at 76.3%, while in the Wonosari II Community Health Center in 2024 the success rate reached 89.78%. The success in providing exclusive breastfeeding depends on several factors, one of which is the mother's employment status. Working mothers and non-working mothers will have an impact on the provision of Exclusive Breastfeeding. Purpose: To determine the relationship between maternal employment status and the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: This research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive design.cross section,with a total of 78 mothers with babies aged 6-24 months. The data were analyzed usingwho is square.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence, which occurs between the ages of 11 and 20, is also a period of maturation of the human reproductive organs, also known as puberty. Menstruation is the most common problem experienced by teenagers today. Early menarche, lack of exercise, abnormal menstrual cycles, and alcohol consumption are some of the causes of dysmenorrhea. The World Health Organization reported in 2020 that 1,769,425 adolescent girls experienced dysmenorrhea (90%) of the total and 10%-15% of them experienced severe dysmenorrhea. In Indonesia, 64.25% of productive women experience menstrual pain. Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Method: This research was quantitative, with a pre-experimental design using a single-group pre-post test approach. The study was conducted MTS Mumbulsari Jember with 40 respondents. Data collection used purposive sampling and a Numeric Rating Scale (RRS) instrument to determine pain intensity and aromatherapy candles. Results: From the T-Test calculation with a p value of 0.000 < α (0.05), which means there is a relationship between lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea. Aromatherapy works by influencing the emotional center in the limbic system, providing a calming and relaxing effect on the body, which can reduce pain. Conclusion: Relaxation therapy with aromatherapy is recommended as a self-administered technique to treat dysmenorrhea, thereby reducing the use of analgesics. Suggestion: The results of this study are expected to be a reference for female students regarding non-pharmacological methods to reduce menstrual pain.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Early detection through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) screening is a simple, effective, and affordable method to reduce cervical cancer incidence. However, the coverage of VIA screening in the working area of Kelapa Community Health Center remains low. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes and the intention of women of reproductive age (WRA) to undergo VIA screening. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of women of reproductive age (30–50 years) in the working area of Kelapa Community Health Center. A total of 108 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and intention to undergo VIA screening (p = 0.000; POR = 40.000; 95% CI: 13.18–121.39). A significant association was also found between attitudes and intention (p = 0.000; POR = 53.714; 95% CI: 16.80–171.72). Women with poor knowledge and negative attitudes were significantly more likely to have low intention to undergo VIA screening. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes significantly influence the intention of women of reproductive age to undergo VIA screening. Strengthening health education and promotive interventions related to cervical cancer screening is essential to increase women’s participation in VIA examinations at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children under five caused by chronic malnutrition, resulting in children being too short for their age. Malnutrition occurs during the first one thousand (1000) days of life, starting from conception until the child reaches two years of age; however, the condition of stunting becomes visible after the child was two years old. The risk factors contributing to stunting are consumption of sweetendebeverage and unhealthy foods, such as snacks high in sugar, salt, and fat, as well as sweetened and carbonated drinks that are low in nutrients. Such dietary patterns can lead to an imbalance in the intake of macro- and micronutrients that play an important role in a child’s growth. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the consumption of unhealthy foods and beverages and the incidence of stunting. Method: This study was an analytic observational with a retrospective case control design. The sample in this study were mothers who had toddlers aged 24-48 months with case and control groups. The total sample in this study was 138 with an unpaired categorical comparative formula. The sampling method in the case group was directly carried out by consecutive sampling, while in the control group it was carried out by proportional sampling first and then taken by consecutive sampling. Results: The results of this study show that there were no relationship between the consumption of sweetened beverage (p = 0.232) and the consumption of unhealthy foods (p = 0.086) with the incidence of stunting in the working area of Pagambiran Public Health Center, Padang City (p-value < 0.05). Conslusion: The conclusion of this study are that there are no relationship between the consumption of sweetened beverage consumption and the incidence of stunting in the working area of Pagambiran Public Health Center, as well as no relationship between the consumption of unhealthy foods and the incidence of stunting in the same area

Abstract

Background: The incidence of ALL in children continues to rise. One therapy for ALL patients is chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy has unavoidable side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. Aromatherapy using peppermint oil can help chemotherapy patients feel less nauseous and reduce the likelihood of vomiting. Purpose: To determine the effect of peppermint aromatherapy on nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. Method: Quantitative techniques were used in this study. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests for one group. There were 21 participants in this study. We used the infinite population formula for sample calculation. Peppermint aromatherapy was the independent variable in this study using the Wilcoxon test, while nausea and vomiting ratings were the dependent variables. Results: Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This shows that the assessment of nausea and vomiting differed significantly before and after administration of peppermint. Conclusion: Patients in this study who suffered from nausea or vomiting reported less severe symptoms after consuming peppermint, suggesting the study's hypothesis was correct.
