Abstract

Background: Complementary care in some midwifery communities has become important to midwifery practice. One of the reasons why complementary midwifery care is currently widely used is the desire to avoid the side effects of drugs. Based on the birth register at Independent Practice of Midwife Darmawati from September to December 2023, the average number of births was 25 patients a month, with postpartum visit data recorded as 89% of postpartum mothers consuming lemongrass decoction (Cymbopogon citratus) during the postpartum period. Lemongrass is a natural resource proven to speed up the healing process. Lemongrass is rich in potassium, which stimulates blood circulation, improves blood flow, and helps increase endurance. Objective: The aim is to determine the effect of consuming lemongrass decoction on shortening the postpartum period. Method: This research method uses a quasi-experimental research design with a treatment group and a control group design. The population of this study was all postpartum mothers recorded in the IPM Darmawati birth register from September 2023 to January 2024. This research used a tool in the form of an observation sheet which was filled out by respondents in the treatment group every time they drank lemongrass decoction according to the manual for making lemongrass decoction and how to consume it. Results: In the intervention group 25% had the postpartum period in the normal category, and 75% in the fast category, while in the control group 100% were in the normal. The Wilcoxon test results show a significant difference between the treatment and control group with a p-value of 0.042.

Objective: Analysis of factors related to the high choice of injection contraceptives by acceptors. Method: Quantitative analytical survey research with a cross-sectional approach was conducted to assess age groups, education levels, parity, level of knowledge, and attitudes in choosing injectable contraception. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: The largest number of contraceptive acceptors were 20 people of early childbearing age, 26 people with elementary and middle school education, 27 people with multipara, 22 people with good knowledge, and 30 people with a positive attitude. The choice of contraceptive device is related to age (p=0.021), education level (p=0.021), parity (p=0.017), level of knowledge (p=0.009), and attitude (p=0.024) of the acceptor. Conclusion: Age, education level, parity, level of knowledge, and attitudes are factors that influence the choice of injectable contraceptive acceptors.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a significant concern, particularly for newborn mortality in the neonatal period. It serves as a crucial public health indicator for maternal health, nutrition, access to healthcare services, and poverty.  LBW is not solely influenced by pre-pregnancy maternal characteristics, but also by risk factors encountered during pregnancy. Objective: Knowing the factors related to the incidence of low birth weight in laboring mothers. Method: This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 308 mothers giving birth were recruited using purposive sampling at Idaman Hospital, Banjarbaru. Categorical data is systematically presented in a frequency distribution table, and the associations between variables are statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test, utilizing SPSS software for accurate computation and interpretation of results. Results: The results showed that 71.8% of mothers delivering babies were not at risk (20-35 years old), 72.1% were not anemic, 77.3% did not experience pregnancy-induced hypertension, 78.6% did not have premature rupture of membranes and 76% did not deliver LBW babies. Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between age (p-value = 0.024), anemia (p-value = 0.009), pregnancy-induced hypertension (p-value = 0.014), and premature rupture of membranes (p-value = 0.031) with the incidence of LBW. Conclusion: This study shows the association between age, anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and premature rupture of membranes with the incidence of LBW.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted educational practices globally, including Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, which emphasizes real-world learning experiences. Health monitoring became a crucial aspect of student safety during MBKM activities, particularly in community settings. This report examines the health protocols implemented by Universitas Sari Mulia during a humanitarian mission in response to the South Kalimantan floods amidst the pandemic. Case presentation: Sari Mulia University deployed 327 students to assist in four sub-districts affected by floods. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, pre-deployment health protocols included rapid antigen testing, which identified five asymptomatic positive cases requiring isolation. After completing the two-month MBKM program, students were tested again, revealing seven additional cases, including one with moderate symptoms, while others were either mild or asymptomatic. Discussion: The university's health monitoring protocols, including pre- and post-deployment testing, isolation, and symptom-based treatments, significantly minimized virus transmission. The importance of early detection and close monitoring of asymptomatic individuals  is emphasized, as undetected cases could contribute to community transmission. Additionally, the program highlights the necessity of integrating health education into MBKM activities to ensure students understand preventive health measures. Conclusion: Universitas Sari Mulia successfully implemented comprehensive health monitoring during its MBKM program, protecting both students and the communities they served. This case underscores the need for ongoing health vigilance, education, and institutional collaboration to safely conduct off-campus learning during the pandemic. These practices serve as a model for future MBKM programs across Indonesia.
