Abstract

Background Low back pain is a common complaint experienced by pregnant women, with a prevalence reaching 50% in the UK and Scandinavia and 70% in Australia. In Indonesia, the number of pregnant women in 2020 was recorded at 5,298,285 people, with 114,392 of them in North Sumatra. Physiological changes in pregnancy such as uterine enlargement, shifting center of gravity, weight gain, and the influence of the hormone relaxin can cause ligament stretching and muscle spasms that trigger back pain. Although the coverage of antenatal visits (K1 and K4) in North Sumatra has reached the national target, many pregnant women still complain of back pain, mainly due to low participation in prenatal classes. One non-pharmacological intervention proven to be beneficial in reducing back pain is prenatal exercise. This study aimed to determine the effect of prenatal exercise on back pain in pregnant women at the Tiga Juhar Community Health Center, STM Hulu District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2023. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a One Group Pre-test and Post-test design without a control group. The study sample consisted of 32 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria. Back pain intensity data were collected before and after the prenatal exercise intervention, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Before prenatal exercise, the majority of respondents experienced moderate back pain (53.1%). After the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced mild pain (59.4%). The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between back pain intensity before and after prenatal exercise.Conclusion: Prenatal exercise has been shown to significantly reduce back pain in pregnant women. Therefore, prenatal exercise can be recommended as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve maternal comfort during pregnancy.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a physiological condition that causes physical and psychological changes, one of which is nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum), which often occurs in the first trimester. If left untreated, this condition can lead to nutritional disorders, dehydration, weight loss, and impact the health of the mother and fetus. Management can be carried out with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, one of which is lemon aromatherapy, which is known to have a relaxing and refreshing effect and help reduce nausea symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of lemon aromatherapy in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women in the first trimester at the Bies Community Health Center, Bies District, Central Aceh Regency in 2022. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design for pregnant women in the first trimester. Thirty respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used an observation sheet, and data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced severe nausea (53.3%) and moderate vomiting (50%). After receiving lemon aromatherapy, the majority of respondents experienced mild nausea (90%) and mild vomiting (93.3%). The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between before and after the intervention. The conclusion of this study is that lemon aromatherapy is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women in the first trimester. Lemon aromatherapy can be recommended as a safe, simple, and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological therapy alternative for treating emesis gravidarum.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children under five years old caused by inadequate nutritional intake and recurrent infections, especially in the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Exclusive breastfeeding and maternal nutritional knowledge are key factors that influence the incidence of stunting. Indonesia faces a high prevalence of stunting, which can impact the quality of human resources in the future if not addressed immediately. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting in infants aged 6–12 months in the working area of ​​Kuala Bangka Health Center, Kualuh Hilir District, North Labuhan Batu Regency in 2021. Method: This study used a case-control design with a sample of 110 respondents (55 cases and 55 controls) selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed a significant association between the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.002; OR = 4.394; 95% CI = 1.709–11.295), where infants who were not exclusively breastfed had a 4.4 times greater risk of experiencing stunting than infants who received optimal exclusive breastfeeding. However, there was no significant association between maternal nutritional knowledge and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.233). Conclusion: The duration of exclusive breastfeeding was proven to be associated with the incidence of stunting, while maternal knowledge did not show a significant association. Stunting prevention efforts should focus on improving the practice of appropriate and comprehensive exclusive breastfeeding, accompanied by practice-based nutrition education that mothers can apply in childcare.

Abstract

Background: Perineal rupture is a common complication in vaginal delivery that can increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, infection, and maternal death. One of the factors that contribute to the occurrence of perineal rupture is the baby's birth weight. Babies with a birth weight ≥4000 grams can cause greater pressure on the mother's birth canal, increasing the possibility of perineal tissue tears. In Indonesia, 75% of mothers who give birth vaginally experience perineal lacerations, and postpartum hemorrhage is still the main cause of 40% of maternal deaths. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between birth weight and the incidence of perineal rupture in normal deliveries at the Independent Midwife Practice of Lusi Marbun, Simalungun Regency in 2022. Method: This study used an observational analytical design with a case-control approach. A sample of 30 mothers giving birth was selected using the total sampling method. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the relationship between birth weight and perineal rupture. Results: The study showed that the majority of infants had a birth weight <4000 grams (63.3%), and the majority of mothers experienced second-degree perineal rupture (70%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between birth weight and the incidence of perineal rupture (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between birth weight and the incidence of perineal rupture. The greater the infant's birth weight, the higher the risk of perineal rupture in the mother during labor. It is important for health workers to detect fetal weight early, provide nutritional education during pregnancy, and optimally prepare for labor to minimize the risk of complications.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Behavior (CHB) is an essential aspect of improving public health, particularly among school-aged children. At SDN 104 Kendari, there are still challenges related to students’ behavior, especially the habit of buying snacks from unregulated vendors near the school, which increases the risk of exposure to foodborne diseases. This study aims to examine the effect of health education on students’ knowledge of CHB. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test method. The sample consisted of 42 students, selected through stratified random sampling to ensure representation across different classes and initial knowledge levels. The research instruments included pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure students’ knowledge, complemented by educational videos designed to be engaging and informative, enhancing students’ understanding of CHB principles. Results indicated that prior to the educational intervention, the majority of students’ knowledge was categorized as sufficient (57.1%) and good (42.9%). Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in knowledge, with 69% of students categorized as good, reflecting improved understanding of CHB principles. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a significant effect of the educational intervention on students’ knowledge of CHB (p-value <0.05). These findings highlight that health education through video media is an effective strategy to enhance students’ knowledge of CHB and promote healthy behaviors within the school environment. The implementation of audiovisual-based educational programs can be recommended as part of ongoing school health activities and sustainable promotive-preventive efforts.

Abstract

Stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health challenge in Indonesia due to its increasing prevalence and high cost of treatment. Educational efforts and the implementation of digital technology-based self-care, particularly through mobile applications, are considered to have the potential to improve patients' quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational and self-care-based mobile applications on the quality of life, knowledge, self-efficacy, and medication adherence of stage V CKD patients undergoing treatment at Dr. Soedjono Class II Hospital. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. From a population of 185 patients, 140 respondents were divided into intervention (n=70) and control (n=70) groups. The intervention included the use of a mobile application equipped with health education features, medication reminders, symptom monitoring, and communication with medical personnel. The results showed that the intervention group experienced significant improvements compared to the control group, including quality of life (+12.6 vs +4.2; p<0.01), knowledge (+16.5 vs +5.7; p<0.001), self-efficacy (+9.3 vs +3.1; p<0.01), and medication adherence (+1.2 vs +0.4; p<0.01). Furthermore, the frequency of application use at least four times per week was positively associated with improved quality of life (r=0.41; p<0.01). These findings demonstrate that mobile applications can be an effective and cost-effective strategy to support the management of stage V CKD patients in Indonesia.

Abstract

The RUFSA Program (Rusa untuk Fertilizer Sustainable Agriculture) is an innovative initiative that transforms Timor deer (Rusa timorensis) manure waste from a conservation breeding site in Cakura Village, South Sulawesi, into organic biofertilizer. The program, implemented by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Integrated Terminal Makassar in collaboration with the local community, aims to reduce manure waste, support wildlife conservation, and provide environmentally friendly fertilizer for sustainable agriculture. The method involves collecting deer manure directly inside the enclosure, mixing it with water and EM4 activator, and regularly stirring to ensure sufficient oxygen supply during a 7–14 day aerobic fermentation process. This approach not only reduces organic waste and minimizes unpleasant odor but also decreases the risk of disease transmission. The resulting biofertilizer is applied to cultivate odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott), small trees, and ornamental plants such as bougainvillea (Bougainvillea sp.), demonstrating practical benefits for local agriculture. Economically, the program contributes to an annual saving of IDR 3,240,000 by reducing the dependency on chemical fertilizers. Beyond its economic outcomes, RUFSA also strengthens community participation in environmental management and raises awareness of the importance of sustainable practices. Furthermore, the program aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to food security, economic growth, responsible consumption and production, and terrestrial ecosystem conservation. Overall, the RUFSA Program exemplifies an integrative approach that combines conservation, waste management, and community empowerment to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable agricultural development.
