Abstract

Abstrak Kepatuhan ibu hamil dalam mengikuti pemeriksaan Antenatal Care (ANC) merupakan faktor penting dalam upaya menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian ibu serta bayi. Namun, tingkat kepatuhan kunjungan ANC di beberapa wilayah kabupaten, termasuk Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, masih belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengetahuan ibu hamil, pola makan sehat, dan dukungan keluarga terhadap kepatuhan ibu hamil dalam mengikuti program ANC di Puskesmas Mompang Kecamatan Panyabungan , Kabupaten Mandailing Natal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 30 ibu hamil yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner terstruktur dan dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat signifikansi α = 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar ibu hamil berada pada usia 21–35 tahun (80,0%), berpendidikan SMA (53,3%), dan merupakan multigravida (56,7%). Sebanyak 60,0% ibu hamil patuh dalam mengikuti kunjungan ANC. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan ibu hamil dengan kepatuhan ANC (p = 0,001), pola makan sehat dengan kepatuhan ANC (p = 0,001), serta dukungan keluarga dengan kepatuhan ANC (p = 0,000). Ibu hamil dengan pengetahuan baik, pola makan sehat yang baik, dan dukungan keluarga yang memadai memiliki tingkat kepatuhan ANC yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan ibu dengan kondisi sebaliknya. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan ibu hamil, pola makan sehat, dan dukungan keluarga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepatuhan ibu hamil dalam mengikuti program ANC. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya peningkatan edukasi kesehatan kehamilan, pembinaan pola makan sehat, serta penguatan peran suami dan keluarga dalam pendampingan ibu hamil sebagai strategi untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan ANC dan derajat kesehatan ibu dan janin.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a phase of life accompanied by physical and psychological changes, making pregnant women susceptible to anxiety. One important factor influencing the level of anxiety of pregnant women is the support of their husbands, both emotional, physical, and psychological. Less than optimal support can increase anxiety and negatively impact the health of the mother and fetus. This study aims to analyze the relationship between husband's support and the level of anxiety of pregnant women. This study used a quantitative design with a correlational approach. The study population was pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who checked their pregnancies at the Atikah clinic. A sample of 50 pregnant women was selected using a random sampling technique. The research instruments were a husband's support questionnaire covering emotional, physical, and psychological support, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to measure the level of anxiety of pregnant women. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents received insufficient support from their husbands (60.0%), and the majority of pregnant women experienced moderate levels of anxiety (54.0%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between husband's support and the level of anxiety of pregnant women (p = 0.003; p < 0.05). Pregnant women who receive good husband support tend to have mild anxiety levels, while those with less husband support are more likely to experience moderate to severe anxiety. The study's conclusions indicate that husband support plays a significant role in reducing maternal anxiety levels. Therefore, increasing husbands' involvement through education and support during pregnancy is necessary as a promotional and preventive measure to maintain the mental health of pregnant women.

Abstract

The birth of a neonate represents one of the most critical transitions in human life, as the new born must rapidly adapt from an intrauterine environment to extrauterine conditions. Within the first minutes and hours after delivery, major physiological adjustments occur in multiple systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, metabolic, and immunological functions. These adaptations are essential to ensure survival and support healthy growth and development. The neonatal period, defined as the first 0–28 days of life, is widely recognized as the most vulnerable stage of childhood, with the highest risk of morbidity and mortality compared to later age groups. Globally, neonatal deaths account for almost half of all deaths among children under five years old, highlighting the urgency of improving neonatal care. Although Indonesia has achieved a gradual reduction in neonatal mortality rates, significant challenges remain in reaching national health targets and ensuring equitable access to quality maternal and new born services. Several conditions continue to contribute substantially to neonatal mortality, including prematurity, birth asphyxia, sepsis, infection, hypo glycemia, intrauterine growth complications, and hypothermia. Inadequate early recognition and delayed management of these problems may lead to severe complications or death. Therefore, healthcare professionals—particularly midwives, nurses, and physicians—must possess comprehensive knowledge of neonatal physiological adaptation in order to provide effective evidence-based interventions during the early postnatal period. This literature review aims to explore the key physiological adaptation processes in neonates and to summarize current evidence-based strategies for early neonatal care. Emphasis is placed on the importance of timely assessment, appropriate clinical management, and supportive interventions to promote a successful transition to extrauterine life. Strengthening neonatal care practices through improved understanding of physiological adaptation is expected to enhance neonatal outcomes, reduce preventable mortality, and contribute to achieving broader maternal and child health goals.

Abstract

The arrival of a newborn signifies a pivotal phase in human existence, necessitating swift adaptation from prenatal to postnatal environments. During the initial minutes and hours post-birth, substantial physiological adjustments unfold across various bodily systems, encompassing respiratory, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, metabolic, and immune functions. These alterations are crucial for ensuring viability and fostering proper growth and development. The neonatal phase, encompassing the first 28 days of life, is broadly acknowledged as the most precarious period of infancy, characterized by elevated risks of illness and demise relative to subsequent age brackets. Worldwide, neonatal mortality constitutes nearly half of all fatalities in children under five years of age, underscoring the critical importance of enhancing neonatal healthcare. While Indonesia has experienced a progressive decrease in neonatal mortality, considerable obstacles persist in attaining national health objectives and guaranteeing uniform access to high-standard maternal and newborn care. A number of conditions continue to be major factors in neonatal deaths, such as premature birth, birth asphyxia, sepsis, infections, low blood sugar, complications affecting fetal growth, and low body temperature. Insufficient early identification and delayed treatment of these issues can result in severe health consequences or fatality. Consequently, healthcare providers, specifically midwives, nurses, and doctors, need to have a thorough understanding of neonatal physiological adjustments to deliver effective, research-supported interventions during the initial postpartum phase. This review of existing academic work intends to examine the principal physiological adjustments in newborns and to consolidate contemporary, evidence-informed approaches to initial newborn care. The focus is on the significance of prompt evaluation, suitable clinical oversight, and assistive measures designed to foster a favorable transition to life outside the womb. Enhancing newborn care methodologies by deepening the comprehension of physiological adaptation is anticipated to improve infant health results, decrease avoidable fatalities, and support the attainment of more extensive objectives related to the health of mothers and children.

Abstract

The primary focus of humanistic psychology is the development of human potential toward self-maturity. This study aims to develop and test the psychometric properties of a self-actualization measurement tool constructed based on the fifteen characteristics of self-actualization from Abraham Maslow's theory. Data were collected online from 200 early adult participants (aged 17-30 years) using a convenience sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using JASP software through internal consistency reliability testing and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test construct validity. The analysis results showed that this 32-item instrument has adequate discriminatory power. The reliability test produced a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.93, indicating a very high level of internal consistency. Construct validity testing through CFA showed the model has a very good fit with the empirical data, indicated by a chi-square value of 458.522 (p = 0.060), a CFI of 0.986, an RMSEA of 0.023, and a SRMR of 0.043. Unlike previous instruments that measured related designs, this study directly operationalized Maslow's fifteen characteristics of self-actualization and empirically tested their structural integration using contemporary psychometric standards. These findings support a unidimensional structure, strengthening the empirical foundation of classical humanistic theory within a modern quantitative framework. Based on these results, this measuring instrument was found to be empirically valid and reliable for measuring the psychological dimensions of self-actualization. This instrument is suitable for use as an assessment tool in self-development programs and counseling services to help individuals identify their potential and guide their personal growth.

Abstract

In Indonesia, Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the causes of 4 million deaths in children under five. ISPA is also often on the list of the 10 most common diseases at the Simalingkar Health Center. The mortality rate of ISPA in Indonesia is still very high and morbidity because ISPA in Indonesia per year ranges from 10%-20% of the population under five. Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ISPA) is an inflammatory process caused by viruses, bacteria, atypical (microplasma), aspiration of foreign substances involving one or all parts of the respiratory tract, a condition in which disease germs successfully attack the body tools used to breathe, namely through the nose, hair, esophagus, throat, throat to the lungs and lasts no more than 14 days. The etiology of ISPA consists of more than 300 types of bacteria, viruses and riketsia. The bacteria that cause ISPA include the genus Streptococci, Staphylococci, Pneumococcus, Haemofillus, Bordetelia and Corinebacterium. The viruses that cause ISPA include Myxoviruses, Adnoviruses, Coronaviruses, Pikornaviruses, Mycoplasma, Herpesviruses and others. In addition to being caused by viruses and bacteria, ISPA is also caused by microplasma or aspiration of foreign substances involving one or all parts of the respiratory tract. Studies in various countries show that in developing countries Streptococus pneumonia and Haemofillus influenza are bacteria that are always found in two-thirds of the isolation results, namely 73.9% of lung aspirates and 69.1% of the isolation results from blood specimens. Meanwhile, in developed countries, adult pneumonia in children is generally caused by a virus. ISPA can be transmitted through saliva, sneezing, and breathing air that contains germs that are inhaled by healthy people into their respiratory tract. ISPA that continues to become pneumonia often occurs in children, especially if there is malnutrition and combined with unhygienic environmental conditions. Germs of ISPA disease are transmitted from the patient to others through the air of breathing or the spitting of the sufferer. In principle, the ISPA germs in the air are sucked in by the new host and enter the entire respiratory tract. From the respiratory tract, germs spread throughout the body if the infected person is vulnerable, then he will be affected by ISPA.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS) are a set of behaviors that are practiced on the basis of learning that enable a person or family to help themselves in the health field and play an active role in realizing public health. Based on an initial survey conducted by researchers in Mangga Village about the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, many families have not implemented it. This is evidenced by the fact that there are still people who suffer from diarrhea and dengue disease. This type of research is descriptive in nature which aims to describe the Overview of the Implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors in the Household Order. The sample in this study is one of the core families, which is 36 people, which were taken using a random sampling system. The data used is primary data, namely data collected using questionnaires obtained from respondents. The results of the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors regarding the availability of clean water were good, as many as 21 people (58.3%), about washing hands were good, as many as 20 people (55.6%), about the availability of healthy latrines were good, as many as 23 people (63.9%), about eradicating mosquito larvae were sufficient, as many as 17 people (47.2%), about eating fruits and vegetables every day was enough, as many as 23 people (63.9%), about doing physical activity every day is enough, as many as 20 people (55.6%), about not smoking indoors is less, as many as 17 people (47.2%). The implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors in the Household Order in Mangga Village in 2025 is sufficient, as many as 23 people (63.9%). It is hoped that families can implement clean and healthy living behaviors in daily life, so that families do not get sick easily. It is hoped that the community/environment will be able to create a healthy environment to support the creation of healthy villages and for health workers to continue to provide health information through counseling on clean and healthy living behaviors in the household order.

Abstract

Obesity is a disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat tissue. Childhood obesity can continue into adulthood. According to Pi-Sunver in modern Nutrition in Health and Disease, in obese infants and children, about (26.5%) will remain obese in the next 20 years. Meanwhile, (80%) obese adolescents become obese adults. Adorable small, big obese. The phenomenon of increasing the prevalence of childhood obesity or obesity in Indonesia is very worrying. The phenomenon that is widely found in children, especially in big cities, in the middle and upper class communities occurs due to low public awareness in educating their children to live healthier lives by meeting their daily fiber intake needs, doing a lot of activity and exercising enough, and avoiding eating foods that are high in calories, such as: fast food and so on. In addition to the lack of efforts by the government and health institutions in communicating, disseminating information, and intensifying public education about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, the dangers of childhood obesity and obesity and the steps taken to prevent and treat overnutrition so that it can reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity and obesity in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the developing countries that has experienced progress in the economic field due to the global market. Economic progress has a wide impact on people's social lives, including the tendency of people's lifestyles. Traditional lifestyles are considered no longer relevant to current conditions so that people's lifestyles tend to shift to a sedentary lifestyle. Unfortunately, in today's sedentary lifestyle, the proportion of physical activity is greatly reduced while food intake tends to be high in energy (fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and low in fiber. Conditions like this have a high chance of increasing the likelihood of diseases due to dietary deviations such as overnutrition and obesity. Based on the results of measuring the weight and height of students aged 7-9 years at SD Budi Murni 2 in 2025, there are 38 students who experience obesity in children aged 7-9 years, consisting of 12 students aged 7-8 years, 26 students aged 9 years. In 2025, there will be 47 students with an average weight of >35 kg and a height of ± 120 cm, consisting of 2 students who are 7 years old, 26 students who are 8 years old, 19 students who are 9 years old. Meanwhile, based on the source of Indonesian knowledge institutions, the ideal weight and ideal height for children aged 7-9 years is 24 kg and the ideal height is 120 cm, it can be concluded that the number of students who experience obesity every year has increased.

Abstract

Complementary foods for breast milk are foods that are given to babies who are 6 months old or older because breast milk does not meet the nutritional needs of babies. Mother's knowledge of MP-ASI is very important so that mothers can give MP ASI to the baby appropriately. Mother's lack of knowledge about the importance of MP-ASI is influenced by the promotion of dietary supplements and formula milk products. Early MP-ASI with the incidence of diarrhea in 0-6 month infants affects the mother's access to the time media that influences decision-making, where the higher the mother's education, the greater the opportunity to provide MP-ASI. The study aims to analyze the early MP-ASI feeding with the incidence of diarrhea in infants 0-6 months with feeding to infants. The type of research is analytical correlative with the design of a cross sectional study. The research was carried out in Medan Tuntungan District, starting from September-December 2025. The population and sample in the study of all mothers who had babies in Medan Tuntungan District amounted to 54 people. Sampling is a total sampling technique. The study used the chi-square test with a total of 54 research samples. Respondents were given a questionnaire to find out the early MP-ASI with the incidence of diarrhea in babies 0-6 months of administration. The results of the data obtained were tested using chi-square test statistics with α=0.05. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between early MP-breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea in infants 0-6 months, with a probability value (p = 0.000). The results showed that there was a significant significant relationship between early MP-breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea in infants 0-6 months, with a probability value (p = 0.000). The research team's suggestion is that it is necessary to carry out a health education program for mothers who have babies aged 0-6 months, coaching and empowerment to mothers in Medan Tuntungan District about the benefits and effects of not giving MP-ASI to babies 0-6 months with the incidence of diarrhea, in order to increase maternal knowledge, change maternal behavior about the importance of giving MP-ASI to babies 0-6 months with the incidence of diarrhea
