Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by prolonged inadequate nutrient intake and recurrent infections, leading to impaired growth and development in children. Globally, stunting remains a major public health challenge, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Stunting does not only affect physical growth but also impacts cognitive development, productivity, and future health risks. Adolescents, especially girls, are an important target group in stunting prevention because they are future mothers who will determine the nutritional status of the next generation. Adopting positive attitudes and behaviors regarding nutrition during adolescence is crucial to break the intergenerational cycle of stunting. The Indonesian Ministry of Health has introduced the My Plate guidelines as a practical approach to promote balanced nutrition, emphasizing the importance of appropriate food portions that consist of vegetables, fruits, protein, and carbohydrates. Objective: This study aimed to determine adolescent girls’ attitudes toward the My Plate program as one of the strategies to prevent stunting. Method: This descriptive study involved 214 adolescent girls at SMPN 1 Ciamis, selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on attitudes toward My Plate. The data were analyzed using univariate methods to obtain frequency distributions. Results:  The findings showed that 112 respondents (52.3%) had negative attitudes, while 102 respondents (47.7%) demonstrated positive attitudes. Although the difference was slight, the results indicate that most adolescent girls still have a less supportive attitude toward the implementation of My Plate in daily life. Conclusion: Adolescent girls’ attitudes toward My Plate remain predominantly negative, highlighting the need for strengthened nutrition education. Schools and health services are encouraged to collaborate in conducting routine counseling on balanced nutrition and the importance of My Plate to foster more positive attitudes and support stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Introduction: Menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are common among adolescent girls and often cause physical discomfort and psychological distress that interfere with academic performance and daily functioning. Within the context of adolescent-centered health promotion, psychoeducation has been increasingly recognized as a non-pharmacological strategy to improve menstrual health and emotional well-being. Objective: This study aims to systematically review and synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions in alleviating menstrual symptoms and improving psychological outcomes among adolescent girls. Specifically, it evaluates outcomes related to pain severity, premenstrual symptoms, emotional regulation, and illness perception. Method: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, JSTOR, SAGE Journals, and Springer Nature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2015 and 2025. Eligible studies included adolescent girls aged 10–19 years who received psychoeducational interventions for menstrual disorders. The interventions varied in structure, duration, and theoretical basis, including models such as Leventhal’s Self-Regulation Model, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodrama-based approaches. Study selection followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines.Methodological quality was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. Result: Five RCTs with a total of 395 participants met the inclusion criteria. The findings consistently demonstrated that psychoeducation significantly reduced menstrual pain severity and premenstrual symptoms while enhancing emotional regulation and illness perception. Most interventions were delivered in small-group formats across three to seven sessions, combining cognitive and behavioral components. Conclusion: Psychoeducation is an effective, feasible, and complementary intervention for managing menstrual disorders in adolescent girls. Integrating psychoeducational programs into school-based and primary healthcare settings can enhance adolescent reproductive health outcomes and promote holistic well-being through preventive and evidence-based approaches.

Abstract

Introduction: The postpartum period is a critical phase during which mothers undergo significant physiological and psychological changes that may increase their vulnerability to complications such as perineal wound infections. Perineal injuries remain one of the leading causes of postpartum infection, particularly in developing countries where access to health information and quality midwifery care is limited. Adequate maternal knowledge regarding perineal wound care is essential in preventing infection, promoting healing, and reducing morbidity. However, many postpartum mothers still lack proper understanding of wound care practices due to factors such as limited education, inadequate information sources, and insufficient counseling from healthcare providers. Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the level of knowledge of postpartum mothers regarding perineal wound care at the Independent Practice of Midwife E, Kalijati District, Subang Regency, in 2025. Method: A descriptive-analytic approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. A total of 35 respondents were selected using accidental sampling, and data were collected through structured, validated, and reliable questionnaires. Univariate analysis was conducted to describe respondent characteristics, while bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test examined correlations between variables. Result: The results showed that most respondents were greater than or equal to 25 years old, had intermediate education, were housewives, were multiparous, and primarily received information from healthcare workers. The majority had a fair level of knowledge (48.6%). Significant relationships were found between education level (p = 0.016) and information source (p = 0.027) with knowledge level, while age, occupation, and parity showed no significant associations. Conclusion: In conclusion, education and information sources are key determinants of postpartum mothers knowledge of perineal wound care. Strengthening health education by midwives is essential to enhance maternal understanding, prevent infection, and support optimal postpartum recovery.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the main objectives of health development is to improve public health by focusing on preventive and promotive efforts, which cannot be separated from the role of health workers in providing education. The health education process will be delivered effectively with communication support accompanied by simple, interesting health information media and the use of easy-to-understand language. Information media plays an important role in the success of the health education process. Health information media that are widely used include electronic, digital, audiovisual, and print media, but not all people have access to them. Print media in the form of leaflets are information sheets that contain concise, compact, and systematic messages, accompanied by illustrations that appeal to readers. Optimizing leaflets as a medium for health information can help and encourage changes in health attitudes and behaviors. Objective: The main objective of this article is to optimize leaflets as a useful health information tool to increase knowledge, foster positive attitudes, and encourage changes in health behavior. Method: This study uses a literature review design to examine and analyze the results of previous studies relevant to the optimization of leaflets as a medium for health information. The data sources are scientific articles published in reputable national journals. Result: The results of this literature search were obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Garuda. The criteria in this literature are articles that focus on discussing health information leaflets published from 2023 to 2025. Conclusion: Leaflets are an optimal medium for health information that can improve the knowledge and attitudes of the target audience.
