Abstract

Childbirth is a series of natural processes that trigger various changes in the mother's body so that she can deliver her baby through the birth canal. Perineal stiffness can actually be anticipated and prevented early in pregnancy, one way is through physical exercises such as pregnancy yoga. Pregnancy yoga has many benefits, especially in alleviating complaints during pregnancy, reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, and preparing the physical condition before childbirth by strengthening and increasing the elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles, so that the birth process becomes easier. This study aims to analyze the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the incidence of perineal tears in mothers who will give birth in the work area of ​​the Tiley Health Center on Morotai Island. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a posttest control design. The sample used in the study consisted of mothers giving birth who met certain inclusion criteria, with a total of 36 pregnant women. The instruments used in this study were the Kegel Exercise SOP observation sheet and the assessment of the level of perineal tears. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney statistical test. The results showed a distribution of respondents regarding Kegel exercises: 18 respondents (50%) performed Kegel exercises and 18 respondents (50%) did not. The highest rates of perineal rupture were grade I and grade II, with 13 respondents (36.1%) each. The resulting p-value was 0.0001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of Kegel exercises on the rate of perineal rupture in primiparous women.

Abstract

Background: Leg oedema is a common condition experienced by pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester, due to physiological changes such as increased blood volume and pressure on the lower extremities. This condition can cause discomfort, reduce mobility, and affect the quality of life of pregnant women. Pregnancy exercises are recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve circulation, reduce fluid accumulation in the legs, and prevent or minimize oedema. Despite these recommendations, many pregnant women do not perform exercises regularly, and limited evidence is available regarding the effectiveness of structured pregnancy exercise programs in reducing leg oedema. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between the implementation of pregnancy exercises and the reduction of leg oedema in pregnant women in the third trimester at the Margasari Community Health Center. Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester experiencing leg oedema, selected using purposive sampling. The participants were guided to perform structured pregnancy exercises over a designated period, and the degree of leg oedema was assessed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the effect of pregnancy exercises on leg oedema. Results: The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant reduction in leg oedema following the implementation of pregnancy exercises, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This demonstrates that the intervention was effective in reducing fluid accumulation in the legs of pregnant women. Conclusion: Pregnancy exercises are effective in reducing leg oedema in women during the third trimester. Regular implementation of these exercises can improve maternal comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life

Abstract

Background: Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) is the practice of allowing newborns to breastfeed within the first hour after birth. This practice is not only beneficial for establishing mother-infant bonding but also plays a crucial role in stimulating uterine contractions through the release of oxytocin, which can accelerate uterine involution in postpartum mothers. Uterine involution is an important physiological process that prevents postpartum hemorrhage and supports maternal recovery. Despite the known benefits, not all mothers practice IMD immediately after delivery, which may affect the process of uterine involution. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) and the incidence of uterine involution in postpartum mothers at the Benao Community Health Center Work Area. Methods: A quantitative, observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected on IMD practices and uterine involution assessments. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the relationship between IMD and uterine involution. Results: The study found a significant relationship between IMD and uterine involution (p = 0.000). Mothers who practiced IMD within the first hour postpartum showed a faster and more effective uterine involution process compared to those who did not. Conclusion: Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) is significantly associated with the incidence and speed of uterine involution in postpartum mothers. Promoting IMD immediately after birth is essential for supporting maternal recovery and preventing postpartum complications

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms experienced during early pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and can adversely affect maternal comfort, nutritional intake, and overall well-being. In primary health care settings, these symptoms are often managed with pharmacological treatments; however, such approaches may raise concerns regarding safety, potential side effects, and accessibility for pregnant women. Therefore, there is increasing interest in non-pharmacological interventions that are safer and more practical. One alternative method is lemon aromatherapy (Citrus limon), which is believed to reduce nausea and vomiting by stimulating the olfactory system and promoting a relaxing effect. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of lemon aromatherapy in decreasing the frequency of nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women diagnosed with emesis gravidarum at the Rum Balibunga Community Health Center. The research applied a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 30 pregnant women in their first trimester were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved inhalation of lemon aromatherapy over a specified duration. Data on the frequency of nausea and vomiting were collected before and after the intervention using a structured observation instrument. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test employed to determine differences between pre- and post-intervention results. The findings revealed a significant reduction in nausea and vomiting frequency after the intervention. Overall, lemon aromatherapy proved to be an effective, safe, and practical non-pharmacological option to support antenatal care services.

Abstract

Postpartum mothers’ understanding of the benefits of vitamin A plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of postpartum vitamin A supplementation programs. Vitamin A contributes to maternal immune function, supports visual health, and enhances the vitamin A content of breast milk, which is essential for infant health. Despite its importance, mothers’ knowledge regarding the benefits of vitamin A during the postpartum period remains inconsistent, indicating the need for more effective health education strategies. One approach that has the potential to improve comprehension among postpartum mothers is the use of audiovisual educational media. This study aimed to examine the effect of audiovisual media on postpartum mothers’ knowledge of the benefits of vitamin A at Ome Inpatient Primary Health Center. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the audiovisual education intervention. Data analysis included univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the paired t-test. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in postpartum mothers’ knowledge following the audiovisual intervention. Mean knowledge scores increased markedly, accompanied by a shift in knowledge levels from poor and moderate categories to good. Statistical testing confirmed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention knowledge scores. In conclusion, audiovisual media have a significant positive effect on improving postpartum mothers’ knowledge of the benefits of vitamin A. This educational approach can be considered an effective and practical method for postpartum health education in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Background: The second stage of labor is a critical phase associated with risks of maternal and neonatal complications if it lasts too long. Nonpharmacological interventions such as the gymball method have the potential to accelerate labor progress by optimizing the position and mobilization of the mother in labor, but contextual evidence in primary health care facilities in Indonesia is still limited. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of the gymball method on accelerating the second stage of labor in laboring mothers at the Mananggu Community Health Center. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group approach. The sample consisted of 30 laboring women divided into an intervention group (gymball) and a control group (standard care). The dependent variable was the duration of the second stage of labor. Data were collected using observation sheets and partographs, then analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: The average duration of the second stage of labor in the gymball group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The gymball method was proven to be effective in accelerating the second stage of labor. This intervention is safe, low-cost, and feasible to be implemented as part of midwifery care at community health centers to improve the quality of normal delivery services.

Abstract

Stunting, a major public health issue, is often caused by prolonged nutritional deficiencies during early life. Research shows that maternal nutritional status before conception plays a crucial role in child growth outcomes, but this phase is often overlooked in stunting prevention. The pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) is a key indicator of maternal nutrition and may influence a child's linear growth. This study aimed to explore the relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and stunting in children under five years old in the Soasio Primary Health Center, Tidore Islands City. A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted with 50 mother-child pairs selected via total sampling. Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI was obtained from health records, while child stunting was assessed using height-for-age or length-for-age Z-scores based on WHO growth standards. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression. The results revealed a significant correlation between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and child stunting. Children born to underweight mothers were more likely to experience stunting compared to those born to mothers with a normal BMI. No significant correlation was found between overweight or obesity and stunting. The study concludes that maternal undernutrition before pregnancy is strongly linked to stunting and highlights the need for better nutritional screening and interventions for women of reproductive age.
