Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) infants are at risk of impaired sucking reflexes due to the immaturity of the oromotor system, which can affect nutritional intake and increase morbidity. Maternal involvement in the care of LBW infants is strongly influenced by maternal self-efficacy. One intervention that can be applied is oromotor therapy using the Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) method. Purpose: To analyze the effect of oromotor therapy on the sucking reflex of LBW infants and maternal self-efficacy. Method: This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest without control approach. The sample consisted of 17 mother–infant dyads of LBW infants treated in the NICU of Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, selected using purposive sampling. The PIOMI intervention was administered for 7 days. Infant sucking reflex was measured using the Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS), while maternal self- efficacy was assessed using the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (PMP-SE) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results demonstrated a significant improvement in infant sucking reflex and maternal self-efficacy after the PIOMI intervention, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: PIOMI oromotor therapy is effective in improving the oromotor function of LBW infants and enhancing maternal confidence in infant care.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in vaginal delivery, with uterine atony as the most common etiology. Therefore, the administration of uterotonic agents during the third stage of labor plays an important role in preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Methylergometrine is still widely used; however, data regarding its effect on the severity of postpartum hemorrhage in Indonesia remain limited. Purpose: To compare the severity of postpartum hemorrhage among women with normal vaginal delivery who received and did not receive methylergometrine at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a retrospective cohort design using secondary data from medical records. A total of 92 women with normal vaginal delivery who experienced primary postpartum hemorrhage during the period 2022–2024 were included and divided into groups receiving and not receiving methylergometrine. The severity of postpartum hemorrhage was classified into mild–moderate and severe. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Fisher’s exact test at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: All women who received methylergometrine experienced mild–moderate postpartum hemorrhage, whereas 9.5% of severe postpartum hemorrhage cases were found in the group that did not receive methylergometrine. There was a significant association between methylergometrine administration and the severity of postpartum hemorrhage (p = 0.026), with an odds ratio of 0.905 (95% CI: 0.820–0.998). Conclusion: Methylergometrine administration was significantly associated with a reduced severity of postpartum hemorrhage in women with normal vaginal delivery.

Abstract

Background: Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) remains a key indicator of public health and health development. In 2024, Wonopringgo Primary Health Care recorded the highest infant mortality in Pekalongan Regency. Purpose: To identify risk factors associated with infant mortality in the Working Area of the Community Health Center Method: A quantitative case-control study was conducted. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, Odds Ratio (OR), and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). The study population is all mothers who give birth to babies in the working area of the Wonopringgo Health Center. The research sample consisted of two groups, namely the case group (mothers who experienced infant deaths) and the control group (mothers with live babies). Sampling was carried out using the total sampling technique in the case group and a 1:1 ratio between cases and controls according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been set. Results: Maternal education (p=0.000;OR=21.429),maternal employment (p=0.006; OR=5.950), gestational age (p=0.033; OR=3.852), Antenatal Care (ANC) visits (p=0.014; OR=4.911), maternal health history (p=0.035; OR=4.911), and travel time to health facilities (p=0.007; OR=5.714) were significantly associated with infant mortality. Conclusion: Infant mortality is influenced by maternal social factors, pregnancy conditions, health service utilization, and access to health facilities.

Abstract

Background: Long-term contraceptive methods are contraceptives that can be used for more than two years. Factors that can influence the selection of MOW contraception include health workers. Health workers, in addition to providing physical services, are authorised to carry out Communication, Education and Information (IEC) to prospective birth control users. Purpose: To analyse the relationship between the role of health workers on the interest in using MOW contraception. Method: This research method uses an analytic correlation approach. The population of this study consisted of all patients who used contraception at Sebening Kasih Tayu Pati Hospital, totalling 246 patients. The sample needed in this study was 61 respondents. The instruments used were a questionnaire of the role of health workers and a questionnaire of interest in using MOW contraception. Statistical analysis using chisquare was analysed using statistical techniques, namely the C correlation test with a confidence level of 95% (α = 0.05). Results: Respondents who rated the role of health workers as poor were mostly not interested in using MOW, namely 23 respondents (37.7%), while only 5 respondents (8.2%) were interested. In contrast, respondents who rated the role of health workers as good were mostly interested in using MOW, namely 27 respondents (44.3%), and only 6 respondents (9.8%) were not interested. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the role of health workers and interest in using MOW contraception. Suggestion: Midwives are advised to always invite fertile couples to be able to accept and take the time when given health education and can make the right decision to use effective family planning as needed.

Abstract

Background: During the intrapartum period, a laboring mother experiences physiological stress due to contractions of the uterine muscles and skeletal muscles. Continuous contractions during the first stage of labor for 8 to 10 hours require adequate energy. Pain caused by these contractions often leads to a decreased appetite and fluid intake in laboring mothers, resulting in insufficient energy when entering the second stage of labor. This lack of energy can reduce the strength of uterine contractions, which may prolong the duration of the second stage of labor. Bananas are known as a source of carbohydrates and potassium that are easily available and can be given to laboring mothers as an energy reserve as well as to maintain electrolyte balance. Purpose: To determine the difference in the duration of the second stage of labor between laboring mothers who were given bananas during the first stage of labor and those who were not. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of all laboring mothers at PMB Nurhidayah, located in Ketibung District, South Lampung Regency, in 2024. Samples were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 40 respondents were included, consisting of 20 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group. The intervention group was given two bananas weighing a total of 400 grams during the first stage of labor. The duration of the second stage of labor was then measured in minutes. Data analysis was conducted using the Independent T-test. Results: There was no difference in the duration of the second stage of labor between mothers who were given bananas and those who were not, with a p-value> 0.05. Conclusion: The administration of bananas during the first stage of labor did not affect the duration of the second stage of labor. Suggestion: Further research is needed to explore other benefits of bananas beyond their effect on the duration of the second stage of labor, such as fatigue levels and muscle strength.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy is a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, and is estimated to contribute to 10–22% of maternal deaths worldwide. The Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center recorded the highest number of cases of hypertension in pregnancy in the city of Jambi in 2024, with a prevalence of 8%. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between age, parity, history of hypertension, nutritional status (BMI), and stress levels with the incidence of hypertension in pregnant women. Method: This study used an analytical observational research design through a case-control approach with a sample size of 80 people, consisting of 40 case samples and 40 control samples in the working area of the Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center in Jambi City in 2025. Data analysis included univariate analysis with frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. Results: The study showed that there was no significant relationship between age (p = 0.138) and parity (p = 0.101). Meanwhile, a history of hypertension (p = 0.001), nutritional status (BMI) (p = 0.040), and stress levels (p = 0.000) were significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnant women. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between a history of hypertension, nutritional status (BMI), and stress levels. However, age and parity are not significantly related to the incidence of hypertension in pregnant women. Suggestion: It is recommended to pay more attention to your health, undergo regular checkups, maintain a healthy diet, and manage stress during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition in pregnant women is a global health problem that accounts for about 7% of the world's disease burden and contributes to more than 20% of maternal deaths. The WHO estimates that 35–40% of pregnant women in developing countries are at risk of mild to moderate KEK, which leads to an increase in MMR and newborn deaths. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between health services and food intake with chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women. Method: This study used an analytical observational design with a case-control approach. The sample consisted of 44 people, comprising 11 case samples and 33 control samples. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis. Result: There is a significant relationship between health services (p = 0.000) and food intake (p = 0.001) with chronic energy deficiency in pregnant women. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a relationship between health services and food intake with chronic energy deficiency in pregnant women in the Kenali Besar Community Health Center area of Jambi City in 2025. Suggestion: Pregnant women are expected to pay more attention to fulfilling their nutritional intake during pregnancy and make optimal use of health services such as regular antenatal care (ANC) visits.

Abstract

Background: Failure to provide exclusive breastfeeding significantly increases the risk of infectious diseases in infants, particularly diarrhea, which can increase up to 30-fold. Globally, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain below established targets, including in Indonesia. In Aceh Province, exclusive breastfeeding coverage has not yet reached the national target of 80%. Various factors influence breastfeeding success, one of which is father involvement, which is currently considered the strongest external variable. Emotional and instrumental support from fathers has been shown to help regulate oxytocin levels and increase mothers' confidence in breastfeeding. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between father involvement and the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a correlational design through a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from February to June 2025 in Pante Raya Village, Wih Pesam District. The study population was mothers with infants aged 7–12 months, with a purposive sampling technique of 30 respondents. The research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure paternal involvement and an interview with infant feeding history to assess the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (p value = 0.05). Results: Univariate analysis results showed that the majority of fathers had good levels of involvement (73.3%) and most mothers were successful in providing exclusive breastfeeding (80.0%). Bivariate analysis showed that good paternal involvement was followed by a high level of exclusive breastfeeding success (95%). Chi-square test results showed a p value of 0.002 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between father involvement and the success of exclusive breastfeeding in Pante Raya Village. Fathers' support is a crucial factor in increasing the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
