Abstract

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and neonatal mortality remain major challenges in public health. The neonatal period is a critical period of adjustment from the intrauterine to the extrauterine environment, which significantly determines the infant's future survival. This case report aims to provide comprehensive midwifery care for a neonate and document it in SOAP format. This midwifery care was provided to Mrs. N, a neonate in Meunasah Krueng Village, Ingin Jaya District, Aceh Besar Regency, in 2026. Subjective data showed a normal birth, an immediate strong cry, and good breastfeeding. Objective examination results showed the baby's general condition was good, her consciousness was clear and alert, and her vital signs were stable: pulse 138 beats/minute, respiration 45 breaths/minute, and temperature 37°C. Anthropometric examination results were within normal limits. Essential midwifery care provided includes neonatal visits (KN) according to minimum service standards, counseling on clean and dry umbilical cord care, guidance on essential breastfeeding techniques for exclusive breastfeeding, implementation of Integrated Management of Young Infants (MTBM), and education on danger signs in neonates. Care outcomes indicate that parents understand the counseling provided, can demonstrate independent infant care, and are willing to adhere to the complete neonatal visit schedule. Quality and continuous midwifery care is expected to detect the risk of complications early in the first month of life. This helps reduce infant mortality.

Abstract

Nutritional problems commonly experienced by toddlers in Indonesia include stunting, undernutrition, and severe malnutrition. These conditions negatively impact toddlers, both in the short and long term. In 2024, there were 434 cases of undernutrition and 9 cases of severe malnutrition in Central Aceh Regency. One of the sub-districts with the highest incidence of undernutrition and severe malnutrition is the Atu Lintang District. Merah Pupuk Village has a high incidence of undernutrition and severe malnutrition. In 2023, there were 7 cases of undernutrition and 1 case of severe malnutrition in this village. While this village produces avocados, they are not used as supplementary food for toddlers. The goal of this activity was to increase public awareness of the health benefits of avocados and to learn how to properly process avocados to improve nutrition for toddlers. The activity was held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Merah Pupuk Village, Atu Lintang District, Central Aceh Regency. The event was attended by 63 participants, including village heads and officials, village cadres, mothers of toddlers, midwifery students from the Central Aceh Department of Health, and the community service team.
