Abstract

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains high at 305 per 100,000 live births, falling short of the target of 183 per 100,000 live births set for 2024. Puskesmas Slawi, a health center in the Tegal Regency, reported two maternal deaths in 2024 due to eclampsia and bleeding. Preliminary studies conducted at Puskesmas Slawi from June to July 2023 revealed that out of 34 pregnant women, 73.5% were anemic, 20.5% were of advanced maternal age, and 52.9% had more than two pregnancies. This study employed a correlational design and was conducted at Puskesmas Slawi in Tegal Regency from June to July 2024. The sample comprised 34 mothers in labor, utilizing secondary data for analysis. The data were processed using SPSS software and analyzed with the Chi-square statistical test. The chi-square analysis yielded a p-value of 0.687 for age, indicating no significant relationship between age and the incidence of anemia at Puskesmas Slawi, Tegal Regency. Conversely, the analysis revealed a p-value of 0.031 for parity, suggesting a significant association between parity and the incidence of anemia in the same setting. Age does not have a significant association with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women at Puskesmas Slawi, Tegal Regency; however, parity is significantly related to the occurrence of anemia in this population.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a predominant endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. The prevalence of PCOS is estimated to be around 8-13% of women of childbearing age and up to 70% of cases are undiagnosed. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence on the impact of physical activity on reproductive health function in PCOS women. Conducted using electronic data base from journals that have been published in PubMed, Science Direct and Wiley. This study investigated physical activity interventions with intensity and volume and measured reproductive function as well as hormonal and menstrual improvements. The inclusion of physical activity alone or combined with other therapeutic interventions improved reproductive outcomes. Reproductive function of women with PCOS can be improved by physical activity. Physical activity can also reduce infertility and social and psychological stress in women.

Abstract

Complementary therapies such as areola and booster massage can effectively support the production of breast milk. Mothers will be satisfied with nursing if there is maximum milk production. This is where breastfeeding succeeds. Although Al-Quran murottal and further relaxation from Jitu Oil have many advantages, nursing moms have not always used them to their full potential. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Rolling Areola Massage Using Jitu Oil and Al-Quran Murottal Relaxation on the satisfaction of breastfeeding mothers. The research population with total sampling with a total of 64 respondents. Instrument measurement using Pearson Product Moment Validity Test. Pre and post test results using Kolmogorov Smirnov Normality Test and chi square test. Interpretation of the Wilcoxon test results obtained p0.001 which means that breastfeeding satisfaction between pretest and posttest is significantly different with all respondents experiencing an increase in breastfeeding satisfaction. Efforts to increase maternal satisfaction in breastfeeding need to be a breastfeeding promotion strategy. A mother who is satisfied with breastfeeding can influence other mothers to do the same, making the breastfeeding satisfaction approach more relevant. Therefore, strategies to increase mothers' satisfaction with breastfeeding should be incorporated into exclusive breastfeeding promotion programmes.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of banana blossom (Musa spp.) consumption on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Banana blossoms are known to be rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which play a role in influencing lactation hormones, particularly prolactin, and have the potential to increase breast milk production. Using a pre-test and post-test experimental design, breast milk volume was measured before and after a dietary intervention in ten postpartum mothers. The study results showed a significant increase in breast milk production following banana blossom consumption, with the average volume rising from 466.30 ml (SD = 183.30) to 2406.20 ml (SD = 373.43), p 0.001. These findings support previous studies (Buntuchai et al., 2017; Yimyam Pattamapornpong, 2022) demonstrating the effectiveness of banana blossom as a natural galactagogue and highlight its potential as an affordable dietary intervention to enhance lactation outcomes. This research provides additional insights into the role of galactagogues in postpartum care, offering a practical solution to improve breastfeeding success in mothers.

Abstract

Normal childbirth often induces stress and anxiety, especially in first-time mothers. To alleviate pain and facilitate fetal descent during labor, non-pharmacological methods such as pelvic rocking using a gym ball can be employed. This exercise involves moving the pelvis and waist in various directions to strengthen the abdominal, waist, and hip muscles. Using a gym ball enhances pelvic mobility and rotation while allowing exercises in sitting or upright positions, which may promote perineal relaxation and pain relief during labor. This study aimed to assess the impact of pelvic rocking exercises with a gym ball on labor pain intensity during the first stage at TPMB Tely Kusnaeti, Cileungsi, Bogor. A one-group quasi-experimental approach was utilized, involving 30 participants selected via purposive sampling. The research was conducted from August to September 2023. The hypothesis was tested using the Wilcoxon test, yielding a p-value of 0.000 (p 0.005), indicating a significant effect following the pelvic rocking exercises. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, and the null hypothesis was rejected, confirming the significant impact of pelvic rocking with a gym ball.

Abstract

Early adolescence (aged 10-12 years) is the growth phase of puberty. During this time, the body undergoes significant adaptations, mainly guided by neuroendocrine factors that are crucial for reaching sexual maturity. Pubertal symptoms can often trigger anxiety, and become a stressor that complicates adjustment to physical and hormonal changes. This study aims to analyse the impact of anxiety in early adolescents on the risk of experiencing disorders during puberty. The observational research employed a descriptive analysis approach involving 40 adolescents aged 10 to 13. The total sampling method was used, with data collection instruments including height measuring tools, weight scales, questionnaires, and checklists. The results from anxiety measurement, using the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS), indicated that 95% of male participants and 90% of female participants reported experiencing anxiety related to puberty. 15% of adolescent girls over nine years old and twenty-five percent of boys under nine years old experience precocious or early puberty. Among respondents, 7 (63.6%) were male, and 4 (36.4%) were female adolescents with a thin BMI. Regarding symptoms of precocious puberty, 60% were suspected to have central precocious puberty, while 40% were suspected to have peripheral precocious puberty. In conclusion, adolescents' lack of confidence and embarrassment due to taboos. There is a need for health counsellors to increase adolescents' knowledge.

Abstract

Sleep is an important adaptation process for babies as they adjust to their environment. According to 2018 World Health Organisation (WHO) data published in the journal Pediatrics, around 40% of infants experience sleep problems. One potential intervention to address this is infant massage. This study aims to explore the characteristics of infants, assess the quality of infant sleep before and after receiving massage, and evaluate the effect of infant massage on infant sleep quality at Klinik Pratama Aulia Medika Girinata. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 30 infants aged 0-12 months who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with Wilcoxon test used for statistical evaluation. The results showed that before receiving infant massage, most infants (n=13.52%) were categorised as having poor sleep quality. In contrast, after the massage intervention, most infants (n= 14.56%) were classified as having good sleep quality. The Wilcoxon statistical test yielded a significant p-value of 0.000, which is smaller than the alpha level of 0.05, thus supporting the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The findings suggest infant massage has a positive influence on improving the sleep quality of infants aged 0-12 months at Pratama Aulia.
