Abstract

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal complaint among pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester, due to hormonal changes, reduced intestinal motility, and mechanical pressure from the enlarged uterus. This condition can negatively affect maternal comfort and quality of life. Probiotics have been suggested as a safe, non-pharmacological intervention to improve bowel function during pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the effect of probiotic (yogurt) administration on constipation among third-trimester pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Pusian, Bolaang Mongondow Regency. A quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design was conducted involving 40 third-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Respondents were divided into two groups: those who received probiotic yogurt and those who did not. Constipation was assessed using the Bristol Stool Scale. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed a statistically significant difference in constipation outcomes between the probiotic and non-probiotic groups (p = 0.000). Pregnant women who received probiotics demonstrated better stool consistency and bowel movement patterns compared to those who did not receive probiotics. In conclusion, probiotic yogurt administration has a significant effect in reducing constipation among third-trimester pregnant women and can be recommended as a safe and practical intervention in antenatal care services.

Abstract

Background: Hemorrhagic stroke is a critical condition caused by the rupture of cerebral blood vessels, which leads to intracranial bleeding, increased intracranial pressure (ICP), and decreased adaptive capacity of the brain. One of its main impacts is a significant disturbance of consciousness. Nurses have applied non-pharmacological approaches, such as bimodal sensory stimulation, as innovative interventions to stimulate neurological function and indirectly stabilize intracranial pressure. Objective: This study analyzed the implementation of bimodal sensory stimulation in improving intracranial adaptive capacity in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: This case study involved a patient with a hemorrhagic stroke and impaired consciousness in an intensive care unit. The intervention was conducted for three consecutive days by providing auditory stimuli (voices of family members and nurses) and gustatory stimuli (lemon) five times daily. Measurements included the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and neurological response observations. Results: After receiving bimodal sensory stimulation therapy, the patient showed improved consciousness, as indicated by a consistent increase in GCS scores from 9 to 11 over the three days. The patient's responses to auditory and gustatory stimuli also improved, including mild motor movements, pupil reflexes, and simple interactions such as blinking or opening the eyes in response to sounds. Conclusion: Bimodal sensory stimulation effectively facilitated the recovery of consciousness and enhanced intracranial adaptive capacity in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Nurses can integrate this intervention into evidence-based nursing practice in intensive care units with active family involvement.

Abstract

Gout can be triggered by several interconnected factors, such as genetic predisposition, family history, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, age, being overweight, and insufficient fluid intake. Recommended exercises for gout sufferers include regular exercise, stretching, and gymnastics. Ergonomic exercise is important for lowering uric acid, especially among elderly people with hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is a condition where blood uric acid levels are elevated. This study aims to determine whether ergonomic exercise lowers uric acid levels in the elderly at the Peukan Bada Public Health Center. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample included all 17 elderly with gout, selected using the total sampling method. Uric acid was measured using a Uric Acid measuring device. Data were analyzed using the Paired t-test. The results showed a p-value of 0.000. This proves ergonomic exercise affects uric acid levels in the elderly at the Peukan Bada Public Health Center. In conclusion, ergonomic exercise influences uric acid levels in the elderly at the Peukan Bada Public Health Center. Patients should regularly perform ergonomic exercises, using correct movements and staying within their physical abilities. Ergonomic exercises can be done 3-4 times a week to improve metabolism, maintain joint flexibility, and reduce uric acid in the body.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding, sometimes known as ASI, is the practice of giving infants only breast milk, along with vitamins, supplements, and prescription medications for illnesses, and no other liquids or solid foods, either directly from the breast or expressed. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal awareness of pumping and the effectiveness of exclusive breastfeeding at the Lampulo Community Health Center. This study used a cross-sectional methodology and an analytical quantitative design. 53 breastfeeding mothers constituted the study population. There were 53 respondents in total, and the sampling strategy used the total sampling method. A 20-question survey taken from Desriati Sinaga's 2024 study served as the instrument. The Lampulo Community Health Center in Banda Aceh conducted this study from May 19 to June 25, 2025. The Chi-square test results showed a p-value of 0.001 < 0.05. Based on the research findings, maternal awareness of expressing breast milk is related to the success of exclusive breastfeeding at the Lampulo Community Health Center. These findings are expected to form the basis for more comprehensive instructions for breastfeeding mothers to improve the success of exclusive breastfeeding with expressed breast milk.

Abstract

Pre-menopause is a transitional phase before menopause characterized by physiological and psychological changes, including physical changes of body shape. These changes often trigger anxiety, especially when body image is perceived negatively. This study aims to determine the relationship between body image and anxiety levels in premenopausal women in Dham Ceukok Village, Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar, 2025. This research used a quantitative method with a cross- sectional design. The population consisted of all women aged 40–50 years in Dham Ceukok Village, totaling 35 women, chosen using a total sampling technique. The instruments used were a body image questionnaire and an anxiety level questionnaire based on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The study was conducted from May 5 to May 10, 2025. The results showed a significant relationship between body image and anxiety among premenopausal women in Dham Ceukok Village, with a value of 0.035 (p < 0.05). The results indicate that there is a relationship between body image and anxiety in premenopausal women in Dham Ceukok Village, Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar District. It is recommended that health workers collaborate with the village to be more active in providing counseling or educational activities to maintain physical and mental health, especially for women in the premenopausal stage.
