Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of iron tablet supplementation on pregnant women from the first to the third trimester in preventing pregnancy-related anemia. The primary focus is on understanding the dynamics of consumption compliance, maternal perceptions, the effectiveness of health education, as well as environmental factors and accessibility that influence the success of the intervention. Research Method: This study employed a qualitative approach, based on a systematic literature review of relevant publications from 2018 to 2025. The analysis was conducted thematically to identify consumption patterns, motivations, educational interventions, and their impact on the hemoglobin status of pregnant women. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate a progressive trend in adherence to iron tablet consumption from the first to the third trimester, with the main barriers being complaints of nausea and gastrointestinal side effects. Positive perceptions of the benefits of iron tablets, along with appropriate social support and education, have been shown to improve adherence. Health education tailored to the stage of pregnancy is more effective in changing behavior. Consistent iron tablet consumption contributes to increased hemoglobin levels and reduces the risk of anemia, as well as pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Implications: This study provides original contributions to the development of trimester-based maternal health education strategies and the improvement of iron tablet availability in primary care. The implications include strengthening maternal and child health program policies and involving multiple stakeholders, including families and communities, in supporting the success of interventions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the limitations of access to health services and their relationship to increased pregnancy risk in Indonesia, highlighting the interacting geographical, socioeconomic, cultural, and policy factors that shape maternal access disparities. Research Method: This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze academic literature published between 2015 and 2025. The search was conducted comprehensively through searches in reputable international journals from publishers Elsevier, Emerald, Wiley, and Springer. Results and Discussion: The study's results indicate that structural factors, including low socioeconomic status, geographical isolation, and a shortage of trained healthcare workers, primarily cause limited access to maternal health services. In addition, socio-cultural factors such as the dominance of non-medical personnel and gender norms also contribute to delays in accessing medical services. The mismatch between national policies and local needs exacerbates service gaps and increases the risk of pregnancy complications. Implications: This study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary and contextual approach in developing maternal health policies. Community-based strategies that take into account the socio-cultural context and strengthen primary services and health literacy are needed as long-term, sustainable interventions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of anxiety in pregnant women and the incidence of baby blues syndrome during the postpartum period. The primary focus is to understand the psychological and physiological mechanisms underlying the transition from prenatal anxiety to postpartum emotional disorders. Research Method: This study employs a qualitative approach, incorporating a systematic literature review of scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis was conducted on secondary data from national and international journals, considering the psychosocial, hormonal, and neurobiological frameworks related to anxiety in pregnant women and baby blues. Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that anxiety during pregnancy is significantly correlated with an increased risk of postpartum baby blues syndrome. Factors such as lack of social support, cultural pressure on the role of mothers, and hormonal fluctuations contribute to the occurrence of emotional disturbances after childbirth. This study also confirms that emotional unpreparedness during pregnancy is an important indicator of mental stability in mothers during the postpartum period. Implications: The results of this study suggest the need for anxiety screening in antenatal services, training for healthcare workers in the early detection of emotional disorders, and strengthening psychosocial interventions as preventive measures. These findings also encourage the development of more holistic maternal mental health policies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to formulate basil leaf essential oil (Ocimum basilicum L.) as an active ingredient against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the form of aromatherapy wax that can be applied by inhalation. Research Method: This study is a laboratory experimental study. Essential oil from basil leaves was obtained through steam distillation, while the wax preparation was made using the melting method. The aromatherapy wax formulation consisted of five groups, namely positive control, negative control, formulation I (2%), formulation II (4%), and formulation III (6%). Each formulation was tested through a series of physical property tests, including organoleptic tests (color, odor, and shape), burning time test, melting point test, and effectiveness test as an insect repellent against Aedes aegypti. Data analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA statistical test and followed by a Tukey Post Hoc test. Results and Discussion: The results showed that aromatherapy candles containing basil essential oil had varying effectiveness against mosquito mortality. Formulations with higher concentrations (4% and 6%) provided the best results in physical testing and biological effectiveness compared to other formulations and controls. Implications: This study supports the development of natural-based aromatherapy candles as a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly alternative insecticide for controlling Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in domestic environments.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and foot oxygen saturation with the incidence of peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus, considering that this complication is common and can be influenced by various risk factors. Research Method: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design at the Gribig Kudus Community Health Center. A sample of 82 respondents was selected from 103 patients with diabetes mellitus using the Slovin formula and a purposive sampling technique, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments included the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test for diagnosing peripheral neuropathy, a scale and stature meter for measuring BMI, and a pulse oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation in the feet. Univariate analysis was conducted to describe the characteristics, and bivariate analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results and Discussion: The results of the study indicate a relationship between BMI and foot oxygen saturation with the incidence of peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus. A high BMI and decreased oxygen saturation in the feet contribute to an increased risk of peripheral neuropathy through mechanisms involving circulatory disorders and microvascular damage. Implications: These findings can serve as a basis for healthcare professionals to implement preventive interventions and early management of peripheral neuropathy complications through weight control, monitoring of extremity oxygen saturation, and education for patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical quality of liquid body wash containing Centella asiatica (L.). Urb. Extract and patchouli oil to determine the optimal concentration for safe and effective use, with the hypothesis that varying concentrations would affect pH, viscosity, foam stability, and overall product quality. Research Method: An experimental post-test control design was conducted at the Pharmaceutical Technology Laboratory of Cendekia Utama Kudus Health Technology Institute, with irritation tests performed at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kudus. Four formulations (F0–F3) contained pegagan extract (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) and patchouli oil (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%). Physical evaluations included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, foam height, and irritation tests. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk, Levene’s test, and One-Way ANOVA. Results and Discussion: All formulations met SNI standards for liquid soap. Formula 1 (5% extract, 1% patchouli oil) exhibited the most balanced properties, with a neutral pH (6.06), suitable viscosity (695 mPas), stable foam height (13.50 mm), and no irritation. Higher extract concentrations reduced viscosity but did not significantly affect foam height. No formula caused redness or itching in volunteers. Implications: Formula 1 is recommended for further development as a natural, skin-safe liquid body wash. Future studies should assess the long-term stability, consumer acceptance, and commercial feasibility of these products.
