Abstract

Background: Preconception care is an essential strategy to improve women's health status before pregnancy to prevent maternal and neonatal complications. Purpose: to describe the implementation of midwifery care during the preconception period among women of reproductive age. Method: This research used a case study design with a continuity-of-care approach, involving four clients (Ms. F, Ms. I, Ms. M, and Ms. L) selected through purposive sampling. Results: Variations in preconception health status, ranging from optimal conditions to the presence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, and chronic energy deficiency. The care provided included health screening, education, lifestyle modification, blood pressure control, stress management, nutritional improvement, supplementation, and immunization. Evaluation indicated improvements in knowledge and positive behavioral changes toward healthier lifestyles, although some risk factors still required ongoing monitoring. Conclusion: In conclusion, comprehensive, continuous preconception midwifery care plays an important role in improving women's physical, psychological, and social readiness before pregnancy. Suggestion: Strengthening preconception services through screening and early detection of risk factors is necessary to achieve healthy and high-quality pregnancies.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer remains a major health problem in Indonesia, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early detection through breast self-examination (BSE) is essential; however, its practice among women is still low. Purpose: To determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and information exposure with BSE practise among women of reproductive age in the working area of Andalas Public Health Center in 2025. Method: This study used a quantitative analytic descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 53 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Most respondents had good knowledge (67.9%), positive attitudes (71.7%), and had been exposed to information (67.9%), yet 54.7% did not perform BSE. There was a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.013) and attitude (p=0.044) with BSE practice, while information exposure was not significantly associated (p=0.287). Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude are significantly associated with BSE practice, while information exposure is not. Strengthening effective health education is needed to improve awareness and early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, is a common complaint among women of reproductive age, particularly adolescents and young adults. This condition is characterized by cramps or pain in the lower abdomen that can radiate to the waist and thighs and generally occurs before or during menstruation. One popular approach is the use of herbal plants, in line with increasing public awareness of a healthy lifestyle and the use of natural ingredients. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of turmeric and tamarind herbal drink on reducing menstrual pain and dysmenorrhea in D3 nursing students at the Batari Toja Bone Institute. Method: This study involved 20 female nursing students and used a quasi-experimental design. The study design was a pre-posttest one-group design, namely a design before and after the turmeric and tamarind drink intervention. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with paired simple t-tests. The results of the paired T-test, comparing menstrual pain experienced by respondents before and after the intervention, showed that the turmeric and tamarind drink had an effect on reducing primary menstrual pain, as indicated by a P-value of 0.0001, meaning <α 0.05. This resulted in the acceptance of Ha and the rejection of Ho, indicating that the turmeric and tamarind drink had an effect on reducing primary menstrual pain in female nursing students. Results: There was a decrease in the dysmenorrhea scale before and after the turmeric and tamarind administration. Before the turmeric and tamarind administration, most respondents were in the moderate pain category (11 respondents (55%), while after the turmeric and tamarind administration, most respondents were in the no pain category (7 respondents (35%). Conclusion: According to the researcher's assumption, the dysmenorrhea pain experienced by respondents before the turmeric and tamarind administration was caused by excessive production of the hormone prostaglandin during menstruation, which causes uterine muscle contractions and leads to primary dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Background: Uterine atony is defined as the leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage, which is the largest contributor to maternal mortality. Numerous studies have shown that factors such as prolonged labor, anemia during pregnancy, maternal age, and parity are associated with the incidence of uterine atony Purpose: to analyze and synthesize findings from five journals related to these risk factors. Method: The method used was a literature review of journals with a cross-sectional and case-control approach, with a total sampling technique and chi-square and Fisher correlation tests. Results: The results show that prolonged labor increases uterine muscle fatigue, resulting in decreased contractions. . Anemia causes reduced oxygen supply to uterine tissue, which impacts contraction failure. Maternal age under 20 and over 35 increases the risk due to unpreparedness and decreased organ function. High parity also contributes to decreased elasticity and strength of uterine contractions. Conclusion: The conclusion of this review indicates that all of these factors are significantly associated with the incidence of uterine atony, so preventive efforts through early detection and improving the quality of antenatal care are needed.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk is the best food for babies because it contains complete nutrition, enzymes, hormones, and antibodies that play a role in improving the immune system and supporting optimal growth of babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life is an important effort in reducing infant morbidity and mortality. However, in practice, many mothers still experience obstacles in breastfeeding, especially in the early postpartum period. Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of oxytocin massage in increasing breast milk production in postpartum patients with cesarean section. Method: Data collection methods were carried out through interviews, observations, and interventions, with assessment indicators using pretest and posttest evaluations, namely measuring the respondent's condition before and after the intervention was given. This study was conducted on June 9, 2025, in the Sakina Ward of PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Yogyakarta. Results: The results of the case study showed that after two 10-15 minute oxytocin massage interventions, breast milk production increased, and mothers felt more relaxed and comfortable Conclusion: This study is expected to be one of the interventions that midwives and nurses can implement for postpartum mothers to help increase breast milk production and support the success of exclusive breastfeeding

Abstract

Background: According to WHO data (2020), 40% of infants worldwide are exclusively breastfed, and 60% of infants are given complementary foods before the age of 6 months. According to data from the 2021 Basic Health Research in Indonesia, 52.5% or just half of the 2.3 million infants under 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed, and some children are already being given complementary foods before 6 months of age. Eight out of 10 people interviewed did not understand complementary feeding. Purpose: To determine the level of mothers’ knowledge regarding complementary feeding for infants aged 6-24 months. Mothod: This study used a quantitative descriptive method with 40 mothers as respondents and univariate analysis. It was found that 43% of respondents had good knowledge of complementary feeding for infants aged 6-24 months. Thirty-eight percent of respondents had adequate knowledge, and a small portion 20% had insufficient knowledge regarding complementary feeding for children aged 6-24 months. Results: The respondents had good knowledge regarding the provision of complementary feeding for infants aged 6–24 months, with a percentage of 43%. Conclusion: Respondents’ knowledge of complementary feeding for infants aged 6–24 months is generally good, particularly regarding the types and purposes of complementary feeding. Suggestion: It is hoped that health departments and midwives will consistently provide education to new mothers to ensure they pay attention to complementary feeding, starting with the texture and nutritional needs appropriate for the infant’s age.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts child growth and development and is an important indicator of reproductive health. Optimal breastfeeding practices, such as Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), exclusive breastfeeding, and breastfeeding until two years of age, are part of reproductive health interventions that play a role in preventing stunting. Purpose: To analyze the role of breastfeeding practices as part of reproductive health in preventing stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months. Method: This study used a correlational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 1,497 toddlers, with a sample of 94 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, then analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The study showed a significant association between breastfeeding practices and stunting, including early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD) (p=0.001; OR=0.175), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.001; OR=0.023), and breastfeeding until 24 months of age (p=0.001; OR=0.089). Overall, successful breastfeeding practices as part of reproductive health were significantly associated with stunting (p=0.001; OR=0.019), with toddlers who received optimal breastfeeding practices having a 98.1% lower risk of stunting. Conclusion: Thus, breastfeeding practices are a crucial component in efforts to prevent stunting in toddlers, particularly within the framework of reproductive health interventions

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among school-aged children globally, including in Indonesia. Excessive intake of simple sugars is a major risk factor for dental caries, particularly in the first permanent molars, which erupt early and possess deep pits and fissures that facilitate plaque retention. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between simple sugar intake and the incidence of first permanent molar caries among elementary school students in a stunting locus village in Negeri Sakti. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2025 involving 150 fourth- and fifth-grade students selected through total sampling. Simple sugar intake was assessed using a 24-hour food recall and analyzed with NutriSurvey. Dental caries examination of the first permanent molars was performed clinically by dental health professionals. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05 and Odds Ratio (OR) to determine risk magnitude. Results: Children with high simple sugar intake had a significantly higher risk of developing first permanent molar caries compared to those with low intake (OR = 3.57; p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between simple sugar intake and the incidence of first permanent molar caries among elementary school children. Reducing simple sugar consumption may play a crucial role in preventing dental caries, particularly in high-risk populations living in stunting locus areas.
