Abstract

Background: Breast cancer at the end of 2020, 7.8 million women were still alive and had been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past five years, making breast cancer the most common type of cancer worldwide, with the highest prevalence rate in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (2.4% or 4,325 cases). Adolescents' awareness of breast cancer plays a crucial role in their early screening through breast self-examination (BSE). Early detection can reduce breast cancer deaths by up to 20%. Purpose: to determine the relationship between knowledge about breast cancer and BSE behavior in adolescents. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was taken using a probability sampling technique with a population of 60 adolescents and a sample of 54 respondents in grade 12. The research instruments used were a breast cancer knowledge questionnaire and a BSE behavior questionnaire adopted from research with a reliability value of 0.598 for the breast cancer knowledge questionnaire and 0.694 for the BSE behavior questionnaire so that the questionnaire was declared valid. The results were analyzed using the Spearman sign rank test. Results: The results obtained were insufficient knowledge of 72.2%, sufficient knowledge of 22.2%, and good knowledge of 5.6%. Adequate behavior of 5.6%, and poor behavior of 94.4%. The results of the relationship obtained using the Spearman rank test obtained the value of breast cancer knowledge and awareness behavior of p 0.004 <0.05.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety in pregnant women is a common maternal mental health issue, particularly during the third trimester. This condition can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health, leading to sleep disturbances, elevated blood pressure, preterm labor, and postpartum depression. One widely used non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety in pregnant women is prenatal yoga. Purpose: to analyze the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women in primary healthcare settings. Method: This study employed a literature review using a narrative approach. Articles were electronically searched via the Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. Inclusion criteria included research articles published between 2021 and 2026, written in Indonesian or English, available in full text. The article selection process utilized the PRISMA flow diagram, resulting in 8 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicate that all articles state prenatal yoga is effective in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester. The mechanism by which prenatal yoga reduces anxiety is related to stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, a decrease in cortisol levels, and an increase in endorphins and serotonin, which play a role in creating a sense of comfort and calm. Conclusion: Prenatal yoga is an effective, safe, and easily implementable nonpharmacological intervention in primary healthcare to help reduce anxiety levels in pregnant women. Prenatal yoga can be recommended as part of integrated antenatal care to support maternal mental health and improve the quality of life for pregnant women

Abstract

Background: Leg swelling (edema) is a common complaint among third-trimester pregnant women due to fluid retention and impaired venous return. Prenatal exercise is a safe nonpharmacological intervention that can help reduce leg edema. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of prenatal exercise on leg swelling in third-trimester pregnant women based on previous research findings. Method: This study employed a literature review method, with articles retrieved from the PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases from 2021 to 2026. Inclusion criteria included original research articles on prenatal exercise or physical activity regarding leg edema in third-trimester pregnant women. Article selection followed the PRISMA flowchart, resulting in 9 eligible articles. Results: The review findings indicate that prenatal exercise is effective in reducing leg swelling in third-trimester pregnant women. Prenatal exercise helps improve blood circulation, enhance venous return, improve vascular function, and reduce fluid retention in the lower extremities. Additionally, prenatal exercise improves physical comfort and quality of life for pregnant women. Conclusion: Prenatal exercise is effective as a nonpharmacological intervention to reduce leg edema in third-trimester pregnant women and can be recommended in antenatal care.

Abstract

Background: One of the non-pharmacological effort to increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels is by consuming fruits that contain iron and nutrients that support red blood cell formation. Dragon fruit contains iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, while Ambon bananas contain iron, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and folic acid. Purpose: to determine the effect of dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. Method: The research method used was a descriptive case study involving four respondents, consisting of two respondents in the dragon fruit juice group and two respondents in the Ambon banana juice group, conducted over 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed that the dragon fruit juice group experienced an average increase in Hb levels of 1.95 g/dL, while the Ambon banana juice group experienced an average increase of 1.4 g/dL. Conclusion: both dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice had an effect on increasing Hb levels in adolescent girls, and dragon fruit juice was more effective than Ambon banana juice in improving Hb levels. Suggestion: Both dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice can help improve Hb levels; however, dragon fruit juice is more effective and may be used as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention to help prevent and manage anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background: Breast engorgement is a common problem among postpartum mothers, characterized by breast tension, pain, and swelling due to obstructed milk flow. This condition can interfere with breastfeeding and may lead to complications if not properly managed. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of aloe vera (Aloe vera) and cabbage leaf (Brassica oleracea) compresses on reducing the breast engorgement scale among postpartum mothers. Method: This study used a case study design with a Study Case Literature Review (SCLR) approach. The sample consisted of 6 postpartum mothers on days 3-7 experiencing breast engorgement, divided into two groups: the aloe vera compress group (3 respondents) and the cold cabbage leaf compress group (3 respondents). The intervention was carried out for 4 days, twice daily for 30 minutes. Breast engorgement was measured using the Six Point Engorgement Scale (SPES) over three visits. Results: The results showed that the aloe vera group experienced a decrease in the average breast engorgement scale from 5.00 to 1.33, with an average reduction of 3.66, while the cold cabbage leaf group showed a decrease from 5.00 to 1.00, with an average reduction of 4.00. Conclusion: Both interventions were effective in reducing breast engorgement; however, cold cabbage leaf compresses demonstrated higher effectiveness than aloe vera. Suggestion: It can be concluded that cold cabbage leaf and aloe vera compresses may be used as safe and simple non-pharmacological therapies for managing breast engorgement in postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Background: Sleep is essential for a baby's growth and development. One way to promote better sleep is to use the M-shape carrying technique, an ergonomic position that mimics the baby's natural position in the womb. Purpose: To examine the role of ergonomic baby carrying in a baby carrier in determining how well babies aged 3–6 months sleep. Method: A pre-experimental study with a single-group design before and after treatment was conducted. A total of 45 babies aged 3 to 6 months were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and the results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test. Results: The study showed a significant difference in infant sleep quality before and after using the M-shape carrying method, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a positive effect. The use of the M-shape carrying position has been shown to help improve sleep patterns and comfort levels in babies aged 3 to 6 months. Conclusion: This approach can be an effective non-drug method to support improved infant sleep quality

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 75% of women have experienced vaginal discharge. If left untreated, vaginal discharge can lead to both psychological and physical health issues. In 2024, there were 318 reported cases of pathological vaginal discharge among women at Demang Sepulau Raya Hospital. One effective medium to increase the knowledge of women of reproductive age about vaginal discharge is the use of educational booklets. Purpos: to determine the effect of booklet-based on vaginal discharge knowledge among women of childbearing age Method: This quantitative study used a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of 130 women of childbearing age who sought treatment at the Obgyn Polyclinic of Demang Sepulau Raya Hospital. A total of 30 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The study was conducted from February 2 to May 5, 2025. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analysis (paired sample t-test). Results: The results showed that the average knowledge score of women of reproductive age regarding vaginal discharge was 62.50 before the education and increased to 83.00 after the intervention. Conclusion: The analysis revealed a significant effect of booklet-based education on the knowledge of women of reproductive age at the Obgyn Polyclinic (p-value = 0.000). Suggestion: It is recommended that healthcare providers implement booklets as educational tools to enhance patients’ understanding of vaginal discharge and promote healthier behavior.

Abstract

Background: Measles is a highly contagious disease that primarily affects children, particularly those aged 1–4 years, who account for the highest proportion of cases both nationally and in Jambi Province. The decline in routine immunization coverage during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has widened the immunity gap, triggering a surge in measles cases across Indonesia, including Jambi Province, where the incidence rate of suspected measles rose sharply from 0.55 per 100,000 population in 2021 to 25.05 per 100,000 in 2023, leading to outbreaks in 2022 and 2023. However, epidemiological research using individual-level surveillance data remains limited in Jambi Province. Purpose: To analyze Exploratory Data on Measles Transmission in Children Aged 0-4 Years. Method: This analytical descriptive research applied  the  Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) approach using RStudio software. Secondary data is sourced from the Jambi Provincial Health Office's Measles-Rubella Case Tracking Individual Report Form (MR02). From an initial population of 456 suspected children aged 0-4 years, final samples were obtained from 332 cases that met the inclusion criteria (96 confirmed positive/equivocal cases of measles IgM and 236 negative cases). Analysis and visualization of the place was carried out up to the sub-district level. Results: The incidence rate of measles under five years jumped sharply from 0.64 per 100,000 population (2021) to a peak of 12.50 per 100,000 population (2023), before finally declining in 2024–2025. Confirmed cases are dominated by the age group of 36-59 months (43.8%) and children with unvaccinated status (56.2%). The age group of 24-35 months is the age group that dominates the immunization status who are not immunized with a proportion of 76.5% of children. Measles cases are distributed almost throughout Jambi Province with the highest case burden in Jambi City (Kota Baru and Lake Sipin Districts), Sarolangun Regency (Pelawan District), and Tebo Regency (Rimbo Bujang, Sumay, and Central Tebo Regencies), which is directly proportional to the low local second dose immunization coverage (MR2). Time-based analysis shows a fluctuating pattern of local transmission and there is a tendency for cases to increase in August-October. Excellent specimen condition (97.9% good condition), but experiencing extreme administrative and diagnostic delays (Turnaround Time / TAT) with the highest median reaching 101 days in 2023. Conclusion: The incidence of measles in toddlers aged 0-4 years in Jambi Province for the 2021-2025 period shows an uneven distribution according to people, places, and times. The age group of 36-59 months and cases with no immunization history are the most affected groups, with the concentration of cases in Jambi City, Tebo Regency, and Sarolangun Regency. The increase in incidence in 2023 and the still low coverage of MR2 immunization in several risk areas, accompanied by laboratory turnaround time that has not met standards, shows the need to strengthen the immunization program and measles surveillance system.

Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) remains one of the major health problems among children under five in Indonesia. The high incidence of ARI is influenced by various factors, including nutritional status, housing conditions, and previous history of ARI. Purpose: to determine the risk factors associated with ARI among children under five years of age. Method: This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 81 children under five selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and medical records, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of ARI among children under five (p-value = 0.004; PR = 2.297; 95% CI = 1.287–4.098). In addition, a history of ARI was also significantly associated with the incidence of ARI (p-value = 0.000; PR = 13.000; 95% CI = 5.048-33.476). Meanwhile, residential density was not significantly associated with ARI incidence among children under five (p-value = 0.474). Conclusion: In conclusion, nutritional status and history of ARI are risk factors associated with ARI incidence among children under five. Suggestion: Therefore, efforts are needed to improve nutritional status, implement clean and healthy living behaviors, and conduct regular health monitoring to prevent recurrent ARI among children under five.
