Abstract

Introduction: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a significant public health concern in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 17.3% in 2018. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of stunting prevention in CED pregnant women by providing exclusive breastfeeding until the baby is 6 months old in Central Sulawesi Province. Methods: A quantitative analytical approach with a group pre-test–post-test design was employed. The study was conducted at the Kampung Baru Health Center, Luwuk Banggai Regency, and the Lambunu 2 Health Center, Parigi Moutong Regency, between May and August 2023. The sample consisted of 38 pregnant women with CED, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires on maternal knowledge about nutrition for pregnant women and exclusive breastfeeding. The intervention included providing health education on nutrition and a balanced menu for pregnant women, exclusive breastfeeding, and recording the consumption of supplementary feeding (PMT) biscuits. Results: The results showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge about nutrition for pregnant women and exclusive breastfeeding after the intervention (p<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant reduction in the incidence of CED after the intervention (p=0.000). Conclusions: The study concludes that providing assistance to pregnant women through health education and PMT biscuits can effectively reduce the incidence of CED and improve maternal knowledge about nutrition and exclusive breastfeeding. These findings highlight the importance of implementing comprehensive interventions to prevent stunting and improve maternal and child health outcomes in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia is a prevalent health issue among adolescent girls, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between menstrual cycle and length of menstruation on the incidence of anemia in early adolescent girls. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical survey was conducted involving 38 girls aged 12-15 years, selected using purposive sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect data on menstrual cycle and length of menstruation, while hemoglobin levels were measured to determine anemia status. Results: The results showed that 73.7% of respondents had normal menstrual cycles (21-35 days), 76.3% had normal menstrual periods (2-7 days), and 68.4% were not anemic. A significant relationship was found between menstrual cycle and anemia incidence, with 6 girls experiencing anemia despite normal cycles and 6 girls with abnormal cycles being anemic. However, no significant association was observed between length of menstruation and anemia. Conclusion: Early adolescence is a critical transition period during which health behaviors begin to develop. Adolescent girls are vulnerable to anemia due to increased iron requirements during menstruation. Efforts to prevent anemia in this population include iron and folic acid supplementation programs, minimizing risk factors, and addressing the etiology of anemia. Multisectoral support, including collaboration between health services, schools, and parents, is crucial in preventing anemia among adolescent girls. Further research with a larger, more representative sample is needed to better understand the factors contributing to anemia in this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Fetal inactivity during well-being monitoring can stem from sleep rather than distress. This study assessed a sound stimulator, a vibroacoustic device using digital speaker-emitted sound waves, against the traditional klenengan bell for awakening sleeping fetuses. Objective: The aim was to assess the stimulator's effectiveness in awakening sleeping fetuses and to verify its proper usage by operators. Methods: The intervention group received the sound stimulator, emitting a consistent decibel level (10-68 dB) via a speaker placed near the fetal head for approximately one minute. A quantitative, posttest-only study design was employed at Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital, involving 60 participants. Ethical approval was granted by the Institute of Health Research Ethics Committee of Dharma Husada College of Health Sciences (No. 13/KEPK/SDHB/B/V/2023). Results: The sound stimulator successfully awakened 27 of 30 sleeping fetuses within 30 seconds. Device suitability was high, with 29 of 30 deemed appropriate and 27 achieving noise levels below 68 dB, prioritizing safety and comfort. Conclusion: Wilcoxon Signed Rank test results (Asymp.sig = 0.035) confirmed the stimulator's effectiveness. The innovative sound stimulator was superior to the klenengan bell. It provides a practical, efficient, and safe tool (noise levels <68 dB) for fetal welfare monitoring

Abstract

Introduction: The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia remained high at approximately 7,389 deaths in 2021, attributed to several factors. One significant factor was prolonged labor caused by uterine contraction abnormalities due to disrupted oxytocin hormone secretion resulting from increased stress responses, thereby highlighting the importance of the presence of a birth companion. Objective: This research aimed to know the influence of birth companions on labor duration. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted within the working area of the Public Health Center in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, from January to June 2024. The sample comprised 50 postpartum mothers. Data were collected using observation sheets, processed using SPSS, and analyzed with the Chi-square test. Results: The results indicated no significant relationship between the mother's choice of birth companion and the duration of labor, with a p-value > 0.05 (p-value = 0.642). However, 60% of mothers in labor chose their husband as their birth companion. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship found in this study's variables due to the limited knowledge possessed by birth attendants, which resulted in suboptimal task performance. It is recommended that future researchers conduct studies focusing on improving the knowledge of birth attendants or exploring other variables that influence labor progress.

Abstract

Background: Massage has been widely studied because of its potential to promote growth in children. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy on weight gain in children under 2 years old at the Jenawi Health Center. Methods: A non-randomized controlled trial with a pretest and posttest, involving 70 children under 2 years of age. Participants were divided into an intervention group, which received infant massage therapy for one month, and a control group which did not receive massage. Interventions are given daily by the mother. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney. Results: there was a significant increase in body weight compared to the control group. The mean weight change in the intervention and control group was 485.7 and 350 grams. The Wilcoxon test obtained a z-score of -7,280 (p = 0.001), indicating a statistically significant weight gain from baseline to post-intervention. Additionally, the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a statistically significant difference in weight change between the control and intervention groups (z = -3.269, p = 0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that massage is effective in increasing the Infant's weight so massage can be used as a routine treatment method to support the weight growth of children under two years old.

Abstract

Background: Third trimester pregnancy is often accompanied by complaints of lower back pain due to hormonal changes and body mechanics. This pain is experienced by 60–80% of pregnant women in Indonesia. Non-pharmacological treatments such as prenatal yoga are considered effective in reducing pain without risk to the fetus. Objective: to assess the impact of prenatal yoga on lower back pain in pregnant women during their third trimester. Method: A quasi-experimental approach was implemented, utilizing a one-group pre-test post-test design with 28 third-trimester pregnant women at TPMB W Banjarmasin City between June and August 2024, selected through purposive sampling. The prenatal yoga sessions lasted 45 minutes per session over a four-week period, led by a certified midwife. Pain levels were evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and analyzed through the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced moderate pain (46.4%) with an average pain scale of 2.32 (SD 0.66). After the intervention, most experienced mild pain (78.6%) with the average pain scale decreasing to 1.21 (SD 0.41). The Wilcoxon test results indicated a statistically significant change p = 0.001 (α = <0.05), between the pre- and post-prenatal yoga conditions. Conclusion: Prenatal yoga has been shown to effectively alleviate the pain of lower back suffered by pregnant women during their third trimester. To strengthen these findings, further studies utilizing a randomized controlled trial approach with a larger sample size are recommended.
