Abstract

Background: Poor menstrual hygiene remains a significant public health concern among adolescent girls. Around 60% of adolescent girls have inadequate knowledge and practices regarding menstrual hygiene, which contributes to a 30–40% risk of reproductive tract infections (RTIs). Local studies in East Kalimantan have shown that more than half (65%) of students still have only fair knowledge of menstrual personal hygiene. Therefore, effective educational media such as pocket books are needed to improve adolescents’ understanding and awareness of proper menstrual hygiene. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design involving 80 seventh-grade female students at SMP Negeri 29 Samarinda. The intervention group received pocket-book education, while the control group received conventional education. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests. Results: The findings showed a significant improvement in the knowledge scores of adolescent girls after receiving pocketbook education (p < 0.05). The mean knowledge score in the intervention group increased from 14.95 before intervention to 17.00 after (p = 0.001), while the control group increased from 14.20 to 15.58 (p = 0.011). The Mann–Whitney test indicated that the posttest knowledge score of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Education using pocket books was proven effective in significantly increasing adolescent girls’ knowledge of menstrual personal hygiene compared with conventional education. Pocket books can be utilized as a practical, engaging, and sustainable medium for reproductive health education among adolescents

Abstract

Background: Anxiety in breastfeeding mothers can inhibit the let-down reflex due to increased adrenaline and cortisol, leading to vasoconstriction in alveolar blood vessels. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as lactation yoga, may help alleviate this condition. Lactatio yoga is a gentle exercise that breastfeeding mothers can perform to relax the body while breastfeeding. Our objective is to assess the impact of lactation yoga on anxiety levels among breastfeeding mothers in the Kebong Public Health Center, Sintang Regency. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. Lactation yoga intervention was provided only to breastfeeding mothers aged 6 weeks to 6 months; the sample comprised 21 participants, selected through total sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Result: Post-intervention anxiety scores were significantly lower than pre-intervention scores (p= 0.001, p <0.005). Conclusion: Lactation yoga significantly reduces anxiety in breastfeeding mothers. Recommendation: Incorporating lactation yoga into maternal health programs may help decrease anxiety and promote the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a public health problem among adolescent girls, primarily due to low iron intake and non-compliance with iron supplementation (IBP). Anemia in adolescent girls can impact learning concentration, academic achievement, and fitness, and is at risk of continuing into pregnancy. One important factor influencing anemia prevention behavior is knowledge. The prevalence of iron supplementation among adolescent girls in South Sulawesi in 2023 was 65.5% and in Jeneponto Regency it was 73.0%, still below the national target of 75.0%. Therefore, innovative, engaging, and easily understood educational media are needed for adolescents, one of which is through board-based educational games. Interactive approaches are considered capable of increasing engagement, motivation, and understanding of adolescent girls' health. Methods: This study employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 80 adolescent girls at SMPN 1 Tamalatea, Jeneponto Regency, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring knowledge of anemia and iron supplementation, which had been tested for validity and reliability. The intervention was delivered through health education using the “Cegah Anemia” boardgame, implemented in group-based learning sessions. Results: The findings showed that prior to the intervention, most respondents had a moderate (61.3%) or poor (37.5%) level of knowledge. After the intervention, knowledge levels increased, with the majority of respondents categorized as having good knowledge (57.5%). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge following the intervention. Conclusion: Health education using the “Cegah Anemia” boardgame is effective in improving adolescent girls’ knowledge regarding anemia and iron supplementation at SMPN 1 Tamalatea

Abstract

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies. Demographic and lifestyle factors play a crucial role in the development of hypertension during pregnancy, with evidence suggesting higher pregnancy-related mortality risks among women living in rural areas compared to urban settings. This study aimed to examine differences in risk factors for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy between pregnant women residing in urban and rural areas. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2025 at two community health centers, one in an urban area (Depok, West Java) and one in a rural area (Poso Regency). The study population comprised pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation. A total of 66 respondents were recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (maternal health section). Statistical analysis included the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normality and the Mann–Whitney test for group comparisons, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Ethical approval was obtained before data collection. Result: Of the 17 risk factors assessed, five showed significant differences between urban and rural respondents. These included parity (p = 0.021), history of chronic disease (p = 0.021), exposure to cigarette smoke (p = 0.001), physical activity (p = 0.008), and frequency of spicy food consumption (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Significant differences in maternal characteristics associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were observed between urban and rural populations. These findings highlight the need for context-specific maternal health interventions that consider local demographic and lifestyle factors to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes

Abstract

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological condition affecting adolescent girls, often characterized by moderate to severe menstrual pain that disrupts daily activities and reduces quality of life. The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescents is reported to be as high as 75%. Although pharmacological interventions such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used, concerns about side effects and accessibility have encouraged exploration of alternative, non-pharmacological approaches. Aromatherapy using cinnamon, which contains active compounds such as cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, has demonstrated antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising candidate for pain management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cinnamon aromatherapy in reducing pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest one-group approach was used. 70 high school students in SMA Kesatrian 1 Central Java, Indonesia, who experienced primary dysmenorrhea were selected through total sampling. Participants received cinnamon aromatherapy via inhalation for three consecutive days during menstruation. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test following a normality check via the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Results: A significant reduction in pain intensity was observed following the intervention (Z = -6.679, p < 0.001), before the intervention, 36 female adolescents (51.4%) experienced moderate dysmenorrhea. After the intervention, 37 female adolescents (52.9%) experienced mild primary dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Cinnamon aromatherapy effectively reduces menstrual pain and can be considered a non-pharmacological alternative for managing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Cancer remains a major global health issue, with approximately 400.000 children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer each year worldwide. Anxiety is one of the most common psychological responses experienced by children undergoing chemotherapy, which may affect treatment cooperation and quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of psycho-educational therapy on anxiety levels in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental study one-group pretest–posttest design conducted at the YKAKI (Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia) in Semarang Halfway House from May to June 2023. A total of 25 children diagnosed with leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected using respondent characteristic observation sheets and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) to measure anxiety levels. The psycho-educational therapy consisted of four sessions, including education about cancer and chemotherapy, prevention and management of chemotherapy side effects, and stress management techniques. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Commission of the Faculty of Medicine, Sultan Agung University. Results: Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced severe anxiety (44%). After the intervention, most respondents experienced mild anxiety (72%).  The mean anxiety score decreased from 2.24 ± 0.77 before the intervention to 1.32 ± 0.55 after the intervention, indicating a significant reduction of 0.92 points (41.1%) after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study indicates a potential benefit of psycho-educational therapy in reducing anxiety. This intervention may be considered a supportive psychological strategy to help reduce anxiety in children undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract

Background: Constipation is a prevalent health problem in infants. It is a condition in which infants have difficulty defecating, bowel movements ≤ 3 times a week, and hard and large feces. In Indonesia, the prevalence of constipation in infants is 15.7%, and it needs to be treated appropriately. The effects of constipation are classified into two categories: short-term and long-term. Short-term effects can manifest as discomfort in infants, anorexia, and lack of weight gain. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as pediatric massage therapy, are effective management strategies for infant constipation. Methods: This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with 38 formula-fed constipation infants aged 6-12 months. The pediatric massage therapy intervention, three times a week, was assessed before and after using the Bristol Stool Chart questionnaire. Results: Based on the statistical analysis of 38 respondents (n = 38), a Z value of −5.42 was obtained with a p value (ρ) = 0.000. This result indicates a highly significant statistical difference/relationship (p < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted. Conclusion: Pediatric massage therapy is an effective complementary therapy for managing constipation in formula-fed infants aged 6-12 months at the Puskesmas Sungai Besar, Ketapang Regency

Abstract

Background: Cognitive development is a crucial component of early childhood education, as it significantly influences children’s ability to think, reason, and solve problems in daily life. However, cognitive development among children aged 5–6 years in preschool settings has not yet reached optimal levels across several developmental indicators. Method: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design and was conducted at Pambudi Bhakti Turirejo Kindergarten, Demak. The participants included 61 children aged 5–6 years, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through direct observation using the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP) and analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Ethical approval was obtained under EC number 052/KEPK/UNPRI/II/2025. Result: Most participants were aged 6 years (72.1%). The findings revealed that 60.7% of children were categorized as having doubtful cognitive development, 24.6% demonstrated appropriate cognitive development, and 14.8% were classified as deviant. Conclusion: The results indicate that the majority of children require more optimal cognitive stimulation. Therefore, the implementation of creative and child-centered learning strategies, including play-based learning, effective teacher–child interaction, and a supportive learning environment, is essential to enhance children’s cognitive development in preschool education.
