Abstract

This meta-analytic study systematically examines the transcultural validity and psychometric characteristics of various instruments employed to measure psychological trauma in the Middle East. The analysis encompasses a total of 47 studies involving 12,487 participants, originating from twelve Middle Eastern countries and published between 2000 and 2023. Data synthesis reveals a marked variation in internal reliability coefficients, with Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.73 to 0.92, and construct validity values spanning from 0.65 to 0.87. Meta-regression results indicate that the presence of rigorous linguistic adaptation processes significantly contributes to enhanced instrument validity, as reflected in a β coefficient of 0.43 with a significance level of p less than 0.001. Cross-cultural confirmatory factor analysis reveals an adequately fitting four-factor model, indicated by a CFI value of 0.92 and an RMSEA of 0.058. Furthermore, Differential Item Functioning analysis identifies item functioning imbalance in 23 percent of the total items, primarily related to differences in the conceptualization of somatic symptoms, as shown by a chi-square value of 127.84 and p less than 0.001. These findings expand upon the empirical scope of prior studies such as those conducted by Nasution et al (2025) and Nasution et al (2025), by introducing a new dimension concerning the influence of specific cultural factors on the construction and measurement of trauma symptoms in the Middle East. Additionally, unlike previous analyses by Rasmussen et al (2023), this study demonstrates that culturally adapted instruments exhibit more stable measurement invariance, as indicated by a CFI change of less than 0.01, compared to instruments that are merely translated literally. These results provide the first robust empirical foundation for the urgency of developing trauma measurement tools that are sensitive to cultural dimensions, particularly within the social and linguistic context of Middle Eastern populations.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoa that is often found in cats as the definitive host. The infection can spread to humans through contact with cat feces or consumption of contaminated food and drinks. Pregnant women, especially in the second trimester, are at high risk of developing infections that can be transmitted to the fetus. Primary infections during pregnancy can lead to a variety of complications, including birth defects, and premature birth. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between cat ownership and the incidence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in the second trimester. This study is the result of a literature review with a literature search method conducted on the internet and scientific journals based on questions about the relationship between cat keepers and the incidence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in the 2nd trimester. According to the (WHO), the incidence ratio in 26 countries is based on concrete evidence. The three countries with the highest IgG seroprevalence according to data are Ethiopia (64.2%, 95%CI: 34.3–89.1), Gabon (56.7%, 54.4–59.0), and Brazil (53.8%, 39.3–68.0) but there are also three countries with the lowest IgG are Mexico (7.2%, 5.3–9.4), South Korea (2.1%, 0.6–4.3), and Canada (0.2%, 0.2–0.3). Meanwhile, the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Indonesia ranged from 43% to 88% in 2014. Data shows that keeping cats as well as poor hygiene practices can increase the risk of toxoplasmosis infection in pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Adequate knowledge about postpartum contraception is essential for postpartum women to prevent unintended pregnancies and maintain reproductive health. However, many postpartum women still have limited knowledge, which can lead to inappropriate contraceptive choices. Visual media is considered an effective educational tool because it can present complex information in a clear and engaging way. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of visual media on improving postpartum contraception knowledge among mothers at the Soasio Community Health Center. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach was used. The sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire on contraceptive knowledge. The intervention involved health education using visual media such as videos, posters, and infographics. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess differences before and after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, most respondents had poor to moderate knowledge, with only a small proportion demonstrating good understanding. After receiving education through visual media, there was a clear improvement, with the majority of respondents achieving good knowledge levels. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Visual media effectively improves postpartum contraception knowledge and can be applied in primary healthcare settings to enhance reproductive health literacy.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural biological transition marked by declining estrogen levels and often accompanied by physical and psychological symptoms, including anxiety. More than half of women report significant anxiety during this stage, highlighting the need for safe, accessible interventions. Soy milk, rich in isoflavones functioning as phytoestrogens, offers potential as a non-pharmacological alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of soy milk consumption on anxiety levels in menopausal women. Using a pre-test and post-test experimental design, 30 menopausal women aged 45–60 years were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of daily consumption of 200 ml soy milk for four weeks. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) before and after intervention, with data analyzed using a paired t-test (p<0.05). Results showed a significant reduction in anxiety scores from 26.40±7.85 to 18.10±6.30 (mean difference 8.30, p=0.000). Prior to intervention, 66.7% of respondents experienced moderate to severe anxiety, while post-intervention 76.7% were categorized as none to mild. These findings suggest that soy milk effectively reduces anxiety in menopausal women through phytoestrogenic stabilization of hormonal fluctuations. Soy milk can be recommended as a safe, affordable complementary strategy, with further research needed to confirm long-term effects and optimal dosage.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries where prevalence reaches 38%. Iron deficiency is the leading cause, contributing to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Compliance with iron supplementation is critical, yet data from North Sulawesi indicate that only 60% of pregnant women adhere to recommended intake. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between compliance with Fe tablet consumption and anemia incidence among pregnant women at the Suluun Community Health Center, South Minahasa. Using a cross-sectional design, 100 respondents were selected via purposive sampling based on Slovin’s formula. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing compliance and demographics, alongside hemoglobin measurements to determine anemia status. Statistical analysis employed Chi-Square and logistic regression tests. Results showed that 56.7% of respondents were compliant, while 43.3% were non-compliant. A significant relationship was found between compliance and anemia incidence (p=0.004), with 76.9% of non-compliant women experiencing anemia compared to 23.5% of compliant women. These findings highlight the importance of education, family support, and healthcare access in improving adherence to iron supplementation. Strengthening health programs targeting these factors is essential to reduce anemia prevalence among pregnant women.

Abstract

Menstrual cycle irregularities are a prevalent reproductive health issue among adolescent girls, often linked to dietary imbalances that contribute to hormonal disruption and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and menstrual cycles among female students at Ambassador High School. A cross-sectional design was employed with stratified random sampling, involving 30 female students. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering dietary patterns (frequency, food types, nutritional intake, and eating habits) and menstrual cycle characteristics (regularity, duration, and complaints). The Chi-Square test was used to assess associations between variables at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results indicated that 56.7% of respondents had unbalanced diets characterized by high fast-food consumption, low fruit and vegetable intake, and frequent meal skipping. Menstrual cycle irregularities were reported in 60% of respondents. Statistical analysis revealed a Chi-Square value of 4.420 with a p-value of 0.035, confirming a significant relationship between diet and menstrual cycle. Cross-tabulation showed that 76.5% of students with unbalanced diets experienced irregular cycles compared to 38.5% with balanced diets. These findings highlight the importance of nutrition education and healthy food provision in schools to support adolescent reproductive health.

Abstract

Emesis gravidarum is a condition that is commonly experienced by pregnant women in the first trimester. This condition is characterized by complaints of nausea and vomiting which can cause discomfort, and even have the potential to cause serious complications if not handled properly. Based on data from the Sabatai Baru Health Center, Morotai Island, there were 5 cases of emesis gravidarum out of a total of 49 registered first-trimester pregnant women. Various factors, such as maternal age, parity, employment status, level of knowledge, family support, and environmental conditions, are known to play a role in the occurrence of emesis gravidarum. This study aims to examine the relationship between these factors and the incidence of emesis gravidarum in pregnant women in the first trimester at Harapan Bunda Hospital, Central Lampung. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 40 respondents who were selected using the total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires of respondent characteristics and PUQE-24 instruments, then analyzed using Chi-Square test and multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that as many as 23 respondents (57.5%) experienced mild to moderate emesis gravidarum, 17 respondents (42.5%) were in the high-risk age group, 22 respondents (55%) were primigravida, and 18 respondents (45%) had low levels of family support. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between maternal age (p = 0.035), parity (p = 0.042), and family support (p = 0.001) and the incidence of emesis gravidarum. Furthermore, the results of the multivariate analysis revealed that family support was the most dominant factor influencing the occurrence of emesis gravidarum (p = 0.001; OR = 3.5). It is hoped that pregnant women will receive adequate education regarding the prevention and handling of emesis gravidarum.

Abstract

Breast Self-Examination (BSE/SADARI) is a practical and effective approach for the early identification of breast cancer, with the potential to reduce mortality rates by approximately 25–30%. Women who have limited Adequate understanding of breast cancer and Breast Self-Examination (BSE) necessitates appropriate health education beginning in adolescence. This study sought to assess and examine changes in the knowledge and skills of Women of Childbearing Age (WCA/WUS) in performing BSE before and after health education at the Butong Community Health Center, Central Kalimantan. This research employed an analytical survey design. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge of BSE, increasing from 21% in the good category during the pretest to 83% in the good category after the intervention. Prior to the educational session, 98% of WUS were unable to perform BSE correctly; however, following counseling, 95% were able to carry it out properly. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the counseling intervention had a statistically significant impact on both knowledge and practical ability related to BSE. Therefore, collaboration among village authorities, healthcare providers, and the community is strongly recommended to routinely conduct educational programs in order to enhance awareness and skills in the early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

Several things contribute to the rise in Indonesia's Maternal Mortality Rate (AKI), one of which is how moms behave and think while they are pregnant. If pregnant women don't follow the recommended schedule for antenatal care (ANC) exams, a number of pregnancy issues may go unnoticed at an early stage, which may have an impact on the pregnancy process, childbirth, the postpartum period, and the health of the child being born. As a result, midwife visits play a key role in improving pregnant women's adherence to ANC tests via education, mentorship, and close supervision. The goal of this study is to assess the impact of midwife appointments on pregnant women's adherence to ANC exams at the Rumbalibunga Tidore Health Center UPT. With a cross-sectional research design, this study employs a quantitative methodology. This research focuses on 66 pregnant women who are enrolled in the Rumbalibungan Health Center UPT's working area in Tidore. Total sampling, which utilizes the entire population as a research sample, is the method employed. The chi-square test was used in bivariate analysis to investigate the impact of midwife visits on antenatal care (ANC) examination compliance, while univariate analysis was performed to describe the frequency and percentage distribution of each variable. The majority of participants, or 51.5%, had not followed the recommended antenatal care (ANC) exams, according to the data. After a midwife's visit to the home, which served as an intervention, there was an increase in the compliance of pregnant women in having ANC tests. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.021 (p < 0.05) in the statistical analysis, indicating that the midwife's home visit has a substantial impact on adherence to the ANC examination. According to the study's findings, the UPT Puskesmas may enhance its coaching operations to the community by providing frequent home visits and health education, particularly to expectant mothers and women of reproductive age. The instruction covers pregnancy preparation, the value of antenatal care (ANC) exams, the optimum time to begin pregnancy exams, and the timeline for follow-up exams. Consequently, it is hoped that pregnant women will adhere to the service standards established for pregnancy tests, which call for at least four tests throughout the course of the pregnancy.
