Abstract

Background: Pregnancy brings both happiness and anxiety, as well as discomfort due to physical and psychological changes. As the pregnancy progresses, the discomfort increases, one of which is caused by the enlargement of the uterus leading to back pain. Excessive anxiety can affect mental health and may trigger depression during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is one of the efforts that can be undertaken to overcome anxiety and discomfort in pregnant women. Prenatal yoga can help mothers feel more relaxed, thereby reducing anxiety. This study aims to explore in depth the effectiveness of implementing prenatal yoga in maintaining the mental health of pregnant women in the third trimester. Methods: Qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach were used. The study was conducted at PMB Bd. Endah Wiendarti, SST Madiun in January 2025. The key informants were 10 pregnant women in the third trimester who participated in prenatal yoga, and the additional informants were midwives and companions of the pregnant women. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews. Data analysis was carried out by categorizing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. Results: The results of the study show that prenatal yoga can maintain mental health, including helping mothers feel more relaxed, less anxious, and more prepared for childbirth. Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that implementing prenatal yoga is beneficial in maintaining the mental health of pregnant women in the third trimester, helping them to be better prepared for childbirth. It is necessary to provide information about prenatal yoga from the beginning of pregnancy so that mothers can participate at the appropriate time to reduce discomfort in the third trimester.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity are prevalent conditions that independently impair fertility and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. When coexisting, they present compounded challenges for conception and pregnancy management. We report a case of a 27-year-old primigravida with PCOS and class II obesity who achieved spontaneous conception after three years of infertility and multiple failed assisted reproductive attempts. Preconception lifestyle modifications and medical management improved insulin sensitivity and restored ovulatory function. Despite being categorized as a high-risk pregnancy, the antenatal course was unremarkable, with appropriate fetal growth and no major maternal or neonatal complications. Vaginal delivery occurred at term, resulting in a healthy newborn. This case highlights the potential for favorable reproductive and obstetric outcomes in women with PCOS and obesity through early diagnosis, lifestyle intervention, and meticulous prenatal care. It underscores the importance of individualized and multidisciplinary management strategies in optimizing maternal and fetal health. Spontaneous conception and favorable pregnancy outcomes are achievable in women with PCOS and obesity through comprehensive care. Early intervention and tailored monitoring play a crucial role in mitigating risks associated with these conditions.

Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy is a global health concern that affects both maternal and fetal well-being. Iron supplementation is the primary treatment. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by poor adherence due to gastrointestinal side effects. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oil has demonstrated antioxidant and hematopoietic potential, suggesting its utility as a complementary therapy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inhaled rosemary essential oil in improving hemoglobin concentration and reducing anemia releated symptoms among second trimester pregnant women with mild to moderate anemia. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was utilized with 60 pregnant women who were randomly assigned to intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group inhaled rosemary essential oil for 15 minutes twice day throughout a duration of four weeks, while both groups continued iron supplementation. Hemoglobin levels were measured pre and post intervention using a hematology analyser, and anemia symptoms (fatigue, dizziness and shortness of breath) were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: The intervention group showed a significantly greater increase in hemoglobin levels compared to the control group (+1,20 g/dL vs. +0,40 g/dL; p<0,001), indicating improvement in clinical symptoms of anemia. Conclusions: Inhalation of rosemary essential oil signicantly improves hemoglobin concentration and alleviates anemia related symptoms in pregnant women. It offers a safe, natural and non-invasive complementary approach to enhance maternal health during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral hygiene is the most important issue in a child with special needs, one of which is deafness with poor hearing function. Such limitations affect knowledge, resulting in attitudes and actions in keeping their teeth and mouth clean. Education through dental and oral health uses a printing medium that uses the visual aids of the deaf. A dental pop-up sign-language book taps into a three-dimensional visual display and a mix of sign language as a medium. This study aims to determine and examine the effectiveness of a sign-language dental pop-up book on dental and oral hygiene in SDLB 1 Patrang (special school) and SDLB B Bintoro (special school). Methods: This was a type of experimental research with a pre-experimental approach. The method used was a one-group pretest-posttest with a one-week intervention. Research subjects included 25 special school students from 1 Patrang and special school B Bintoro. Results: After administering ANOVA analysis, there was a difference. The intervention given using the dental pop-up book showed a different effect. According to analysis from Bonferroni, the use of dental pop-up books is effective for deaf children in the extremely severe category. Conclusion: Dental pop-up sign-language books are effective in increasing dental and oral hygiene in special school 1 Patrang and B Bintoro.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health threat, with a death toll reaching 1.3 million. Indonesia has set a target to eliminate TB by 2030, with a treatment success rate of 90%. However, the achievement at Licin Public Health Center in Banyuwangi Regency in 2023 was only 76%, indicating the need for performance evaluation. This study aims to describe the performance of Licin Public Health Center in TB control based on the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE). Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 12 TB officers and 29 TB patients. Data were collected through questionnaires completed by the respondents and analyzed using the Baldrige Assessment. Results: The results showed that the performance of Licin Public Health Center was at the benchmark leader level with an excellent rating, achieving a score of 796.3 points out of a possible 1,000. The highest percentage score was found in the Workforce Focus category, while the lowest was in Strategic Planning, indicating strengths in human resource management and areas for improvement in long-term program planning. Conclusions: The performance of Licin Public Health Center in tuberculosis control ranks as superior among similar organizations, both at the regional and national levels. Nevertheless, improvements are still needed in areas such as organizational structure, strategy, patient satisfaction, and budget utilization to support the sustainable success of TB treatment.

Abstract

Village resilience is an important foundation in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts. This policy brief is prepared based on recommendations from the results of village resilience assessment research. The research as the basis for the policy brief was conducted in 30 Disaster Resilient Villages in Magetan Regency using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which emphasizes active community involvement in the assessment process. The assessment was carried out by filling out a questionnaire from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) containing 128 questions and covering five main aspects: basic services, regulations and policies, prevention and mitigation, emergency preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. The questionnaire was filled out through interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results showed that only around 20% of villages achieved the Main Disaster Resilient Village category. This shows the need for an increase in overall efforts made by the disaster resilient village forum together with the village government. Two main recommendations are proposed. First, strengthening the capacity of the Disaster Resilient Village Forum as the driving force for disaster risk management activities at the village level. This forum needs to be supported through training, facilitation, and strengthening its role in program planning and implementation. Second, the allocation of village funds needs to be increased by around 5–8% to fund activities such as disaster-resistant infrastructure development, disaster mitigation, capacity training, emergency response simulations, procurement of facilities and infrastructure, emergency response funds, and post-disaster recovery. The success of both recommendations is highly dependent on collaboration between local and village governments. Local governments need to support with clear regulations, technical assistance, and adequate budgets. Meanwhile, village governments need to include disaster risk reduction in development plans. This synergy will accelerate the realization of disaster-resilient villages.

Abstract

Background: Infant growth and development represent fundamental indicators of child health and well-being. Data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey indicate a persistent prevalence of underweight among children, recorded at 17.0% in 2021 and slightly increasing to 17.1% in 2022. One approach commonly employed to support infant weight gain is baby massage. This study aimed to examine the effect of baby massage on weight gain in infants aged 3 to 12 months at the private midwifery practice (PMB) of Bd. Lialut Iftiyah, S.Keb, located in Malang District, Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group approach. A total of 36 infants aged 3 to 12 months were selected through random sampling and subsequently assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: The results revealed an average weight gain of 332 grams in the intervention group and 219 grams in the control group. A statistically significant difference was observed between the pretest and posttest measurements in both the intervention group (p = 0.00) and the control group (p = 0.00). Conclusion: These findings suggest that while both groups experienced weight gain, the increase was more substantial in the intervention group, indicating a greater effect of baby massage on infant weight gain.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is higher than normal values of ≥140/≥90 mmHg. Effective blood pressure control is the main goal to prevent and treat hypertension. In addition to pharmacological approaches, blood pressure can be controlled with non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure therapy at the SP6 and LI4 points on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. Methods: This study was designed with a quasy-experiment with the type of research pre and post-test with control group with purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The population amounted to 81 elderly people with hypertension with the number of samples used in this study as many as 46 elderly samples with hypertension (23 in intervention group and 23 in control group). The majority of respondents were aged 65-69 years, female, worked as traders, and had elementary school education and did not go to school. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Acupressure on SP6 and LI4 points was given to the intervention group for 3 weeks with a frequency of 2 times in 1 week, while the control group was given conventional treatment. Results: The results of the post-test difference in blood pressure between the intervention group and the control group with the Mann Whitney U-Test test showed a p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05), it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group. Conclusions: The study concludes that there is an effect of acupressure therapy at point SP 6 and LI 4 on lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. It is hoped that the results of the study can be used as an alternative therapy in lowering blood pressure.

Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression poses a greater risk, potentially amplifying complications and intensifying challenges across various aspects of public health. This study aims to evaluate the existing levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in individuals while analyzing key associated factors. Methods: 3840 residents of Hanoi city were selected for interview. An online questionnaire concerning psychological parameters, including the Impact of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), was conducted. Statistical analyses were done using STATA version 15.0, with p-values under 0.05 considered significant. Results: The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress were 12.5%, 18.6%, and 10.6%, respectively. The rates of one symptom were 14.4%, two symptoms were 6.9%, and all three symptoms were 4.4%, respectively. There was a negative correlation with levels of depression, anxiety, and stress (adjOR (95%CI) =-0.2 (-0.22 - -0.17) – 0.12 (-0.15-0.09) – 0.09 (-0.13 - -0.06); p<0.01). Compared to men, women frequently experience higher levels of stress and anxiety. Married people experience lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression compared to single people, and people who live in rural areas experience lower levels of depression than people who live in urban areas (adjOR (95%CI) = -0.04 (-0.07--0.01); p<0.01). Conclusions: The study provides evidence that people experience mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress in Vietnam. There is a need for timely response measures to improve people's health and cope with different epidemic scenarios in the future.
