Abstract

Background, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly common pregnancy complication associated with macrosomia, preeclampsia, and later type 2 diabetes, and healthy lifestyle modification is its primary prevention strategy, yet uptake among pregnant women remains low due to limited practical educational media. Aim, This study aimed to analyze the effect of educational videos on the implementation of a healthy lifestyle for the prevention of gestational diabetes among pregnant women in the working area of the Lhokseumawe City Community Health Center Methods, A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted on 64 pregnant women (32 intervention, 32 control), selected through purposive sampling; data were collected with a modified questionnaire before and two weeks after the intervention and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks and Mann-Whitney U tests Results, Both groups improved significantly after the intervention, but the increase in the intervention group was significantly greater than in the control group (mean rank 34.17 versus 25.83; p<0.001). Conclusions, Educational videos were more effective than leaflets and lectures in improving healthy lifestyle implementation. Implication. Health workers should integrate educational videos into routine antenatal care to support the prevention of gestational diabetes

Abstract

Background: Continuity of Care (CoC) is a cornerstone of quality midwifery services and a key strategy for reducing maternal and infant mortality. Integrating mobile Health (mHealth) technology into CoC-based midwifery curricula is intended to strengthen holistic patient monitoring while preserving humanistic, patient-centered communication. Aim: This study evaluated midwifery students' perceived academic benefit and satisfaction after digital CoC learning, and examined the associated quality of midwife-patient interaction and patient satisfaction. Methods: An observational analytic study with a quasi-experimental post-test design was conducted among 51 midwifery students of Poltekkes Kemenkes Tasikmalaya (Cirebon campus) and 51 patients receiving continuity care through the D Kia application across four partner hospitals in Cirebon and Indramayu. Data were collected using structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Results: Students reported very high perceived academic benefit (mean 4.46±0.62) and interaction satisfaction (mean 4.42), while patients rated communication quality (mean 4.52) and satisfaction with CoC (mean 4.50±0.63) as very high. Conclusions: Digital CoC learning was perceived very positively by both students and patients without compromising humanistic communication. Implication: Findings support wider integration of mHealth into midwifery curricula to prepare digitally competent, patient-centered future midwives.

Abstract

Background: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) remains a major health problem in Indonesia (189 per 100,000 live births, 2020 Population Census), and family planning (FP) is one of the four pillars of the safe-motherhood approach used to reduce it, particularly by preventing pregnancies that are too young, too frequent, too closely spaced, or too late. The Balanced Counseling Strategy (BCS) for post-partum FP improves the accuracy of provider-client interaction but conventionally requires carrying three separate job aids. Aim: To design and test the effectiveness of “SiKemBang”, an Android-based application that integrates the BCS job aids as a decision-support tool for post-partum FP. Methods: A Research and Development (R&D) design following Sugiyono’s model was used, involving midwives and post-partum mothers at PONED facilities in Tasikmalaya City, with material- and media-expert validation followed by small- and large-scale field trials. Results: The application was developed and revised until it was rated highly feasible by both material and media experts without further revision; the small-scale trial (n = 10) produced a mean score of 46.9 (93.8%) and the large-scale trial (n = 100) produced a mean score of 482 (96.4%), both in the “highly feasible” category. Conclusions: SiKemBang is a feasible and effective decision-support tool for post-partum FP counseling. Implication: The application can strengthen health-technology-based counseling services and support national efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality.

Abstract

Background. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is commonly stratified using severity scores such as the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), which guides clinical decision-making. However, low-risk classification does not always reflect the true clinical trajectory, particularly in elderly patients with frailty. We report a 70-year-old female initially classified as low-risk CAP (PSI score 80, Class II) who developed significant multisystem complications, including massive pleural effusion, suspected secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) related to hyponatremia, and secondary cardiac dysfunction with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Methods. This report uses a descriptive design in the form of a single case study. The patient in this case report was treated at Ibnu Sina Hospital, Makassar, with a diagnosis of CAP, PSI score 80, low risk class II, Coronary artery disease, Hypoglycemia, and Reactive thrombocytosis. Result. This case highlights the pathophysiological cascade of CAP involving systemic inflammation (elevated cytokines such as IL-6), endothelial dysfunction leading to pleural fluid accumulation, neurohormonal dysregulation causing electrolyte imbalance, and myocardial stress contributing to cardiac impairment. Conclusion. Low PSI scores should not lead to underestimation of disease severity. Hyponatremia may serve as an early red flag of systemic involvement, and massive pleural effusion should be considered a marker of disease progression. Implication. Early multidisciplinary management and close monitoring are essential, particularly in elderly and frail patients.

Abstract

Background: Stunting and anemia among children aged 6-23 months remain a priority health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 21.6% in 2022. A local food-based balanced nutrition guideline (PGS-PL), developed using Optifood Linear Programming, was introduced as an evidence-based, locally adapted nutrition education tool for the Talun Community Health Center working area, Cirebon Regency. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PGS-PL education in improving the knowledge of cadres and local stakeholders as a feasibility step prior to community-wide implementation. Methods: A one-group pre-test post-test design was applied to 17 participants (cadres, civil servants, police officers, village officials, and entrepreneurs) using a Google Form-based knowledge questionnaire before and after the education session. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 76.2 to 87.1 (an 11-point gain); 76.5% of participants showed improved scores, and the proportion achieving the passing standard (≥80) rose from 41.2% to 88.2%. Conclusions: PGS-PL education effectively improved participants' knowledge related to local food-based balanced nutrition for children under two. Implication: These findings support the feasibility of PGS-PL as an education tool that can be integrated into Posyandu and Puskesmas nutrition promotion programs and scaled up in the subsequent effectiveness trial phase.
