Abstract

Background: Contraception is the regulation of pregnancy through the use of devices or methods aimed at preventing pregnancy. The purposes of contraceptive use include delaying pregnancy, spacing pregnancies, and terminating fertility. There are various types of contraceptive methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages (Susanti & Sari, 2020). One of the efforts implemented in the Family Planning (FP) program is the use of contraceptive methods. Purpose: To determine the relationship between knowledge, culture, and the role of health workers and the behavior of women of reproductive age in selecting contraceptive methods. Method: This study used a quantitative analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all women of reproductive age who were active family planning participants at Cipayung Public Health Center, totaling 62 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses. The Chi-Square test was used to assess relationships between variables, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that knowledge was not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.097), cultural factors were not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.397), and the role of health workers was also not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.706). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between knowledge, culture, and the role of health workers and the behavior of women of reproductive age in selecting contraceptive methods.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among children under five years of age. In the working area of Puskesmas Minggir, Sleman Regency, a total of 55 stunted children were identified across five villages in 2025. The determinants of stunting are multifactorial, encompassing nutrition, maternal, and socioeconomic demensions. Purpose: To identify the determinant factors associated with stunting in children aged 24-59 month. Method: A quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducred from January 15-18 2026, in Sendangrejo Village. A total of 64 respondents (16 stunted, 48 non- stunted) were included. Variables examined were maternal height, maternal education, birth weight, birth length, exclusive breastfeeding, history of infectious disease, child’s sex, and family income. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Fisher’s Exact test and Chi-Square) analyses. Results: Of 64 children, 16 (25%) were classified as stunted. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between maternal education level and stunting (p = 0.002). Other variables-maternal height, birth weight, birth length, exclusive breastfeeding, history of infectious disease, child’s sex, and family income did not show statistically significant associations (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Maternal education level the determinant factor with a statistically significant association with stunting in children aged 24-59 months. Improving access to education for women is an important strategy in stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: The increasing consumption of junk food among preschool children has raised concerns regarding its potential impact on growth and development. Ultra-processed foods are typically high in calories, sugar, fat, and salt but low in essential nutrients required for optimal child health. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association between a history of junk food consumption and growth as well as developmental status among preschool children. Method: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving preschool children aged 3–5 years. Junk food consumption history was obtained through questionnaires. Growth status was assessed using the weight-for-height index, while development was measured using the Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The analysis showed a significant association between junk food consumption and growth status (p < 0.05), indicating that higher intake was related to less favorable anthropometric outcomes. However, no significant relationship was found between junk food consumption and developmental status (p > 0.05). Most children demonstrated appropriate development despite moderate levels of junk food intake. Conclusion: Junk food consumption is linked to children’s growth but not directly associated with developmental outcomes. Growth and development are influenced by multiple interacting factors beyond diet alone. Suggestion: Future studies should include larger samples and additional variables such as socioeconomic conditions, parenting practices, and physical activity to better understand determinants of child health.

Abstract

Background: Labour pain during the first stage is one of the main complaints experienced by women in labour, especially in the active phase when there is an increase in the intensity and frequency of contractions. Various nonpharmacological methods have been recommended for pain management, one of which is the slow dancing technique (hug with husband). Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of slow dancing movement (hug with husband) on reducing labour pain in active phase I. Method: The research design used a quasi-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study were 45 mothers in labour during the active phase I who met the inclusion criteria. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Pain measurement was carried out using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scale before and after the slow dancing intervention for 20 minutes with husband assistance. Data were analysed using paired t-test statistical test Results: The difference in the level of labour pain in the first stage before and after the slow dancing movement intervention (hug with husband) in the results of bivariate analysis (Paired t-test) showed that there was a significant difference between the level of pain before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Slow dancing movement (hug with husband) proved to be effective in reducing labour pain in the first stage. Suggestion: Midwives are expected to integrate slow dancing techniques as part of non-pharmacological pain management in childbirth care and provide education to couples since the antenatal period regarding the importance of husband support during childbirth.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women is a serious health problem because it increases the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality, preterm delivery, and low birth weight infants, especially during the third trimester when iron requirements significantly increase. Dietary patterns play an important role in the incidence of anemia, as inadequate intake of iron-rich foods and supporting nutrients can lead to decreased hemoglobin levels. Therefore, dietary patterns are an important factor associated with anemia among third-trimester pregnant women. Purpose: To determine the relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of anemia among third-trimester pregnant women. Method: This study employed a quantitative research method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was purposive random sampling, involving a population of 80 pregnant women and a sample of 48 respondents. Data collection consisted of primary data for the dietary pattern variable, which were obtained using a dietary pattern questionnaire, and secondary data for the anemia variable, which were collected from the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook records. Data were analyzed using the Kendall’s tau statistical test. Results: The results of the statistical analysis using Kendall’s tau test showed a p-value of 0.000, which was less than α = 0.05, indicating a statistically significant relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of anemia. The correlation coefficient obtained was 0.859, indicating a strong category of relationship. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of anemia among third-trimester pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of digital technology has increased gadget use among adolescents, particularly junior high school (SMP) students. While gadget use can be beneficial as a learning medium and source of information, it also has the potential to negatively impact physical, emotional, and social health if not used wisely. Purpose: This study aims to examine gadget use among eighth-grade students. Method: The study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a survey method and a cross-sectional approach. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula and drawn using a non-probability purposive sampling technique, resulting in 60 respondents from a total population of 150 eighth-grade students. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire structured based on gadget use indicators. Univariate analysis was conducted using frequency distributions and cross-tabulations. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents were male (60.0%) and 13 years old (61.7%). Gadget use was dominated by the moderate category (60.0%), followed by the high category (23.3%) and the low category (16.7%). Cross-tabulations show that both male and female students are mostly in the moderate gadget use category, with the highest prevalence occurring at age 13. Conclusion: Gadget use among eighth-grade students was mostly in the moderate category. Suggestion: Based on these research findings, it is recommended that schools and parents supervise and educate students so that gadget use can be more judicious and balanced.
