Abstract

Background: Anemia poses greater risk in females, contributing to stunting. Despite reliance on online platforms, limited research  investigated their impact on adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward anemia prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of online health promotion towards the knowledge, attitude, and practices of adolescent females in preventing anemia. Methods: This experimental study employed a pretest-posttest control group design. The intervention group received an online health promotion and module, while the control group received a leaflet. The sample was 100 female students from two senior high schools, selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The instrument used questionnaires validated by all items have r count > r table (0.195), and a reliability test using Cronbach’s Alpha obtained > 0.7, showing reliable instrument. The analysis utilized a non-parametric test Wilcoxon test, to understand the effectiveness with effect size, and the Mann-Whitney test to compare differences between groups. Results: Statistical tests revealed significant effectiveness and differences (p<0.05), within the large effect size of 0.92–0.96. The magnitude was evident in intervention group; 90% respondents showed good knowledge, 92% positive attitudes and practices, compared to the control group, showed 64% attitudes, 62% practices, and 62% knowledge. The results imply that online health education with module-based health is effective in empowering adolescents about anemia. Conclusion: The findings underscore the effectiveness of online health promotion. Schools can adopt this approach as policy to promote sustainable and healthy practicess for anemia prevention. Further research should provide refinement, involve larger and more diverse population with socioeconomic analysis.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a significant health challenge, leading to health issues and impaired cognitive development in children, affecting the nation’s future human resources. While various educational interventions have been implemented, no evaluation has compared the effectiveness of different media for parents. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video and leaflet-based education for mothers and fathers of toddlers at risk of stunting. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest one-group design was used. The sample consisted of 120 parents, divided into an intervention group (video) and a control group (leaflet), selected by simple random sampling. Multiple regression analysis was created to examine the association. Results: Significant pretest-posttest improvements in knowledge and attitudes were observed in both parents (p <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that video-based education positively influenced mothers' knowledge and attitudes, with education type being the only significant factor affecting mothers' knowledge. In fathers, video-based education increased knowledge, but no factors were found to affect attitudes. Conclusion: Both video and leaflet-based education effectively improved mothers' knowledge and attitudes. Video education enhanced fathers' knowledge but had no effect on their attitudes. These differences may reflect the greater attention and perception of stunting among mothers in the socio-cultural context of Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: A regular menstrual cycle is an important indicator of adolescent reproductive health. Menstrual irregularities may reflect underlying physical and psychological problems. Evidence regarding the influence of physical activity and psychological factors on menstrual cycle regularity among adolescents remains inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the association of physical activity, depression, anxiety, and stress with menstrual cycle regularity among adolescents. Methods:A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 74 female adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria were post-menarche adolescents who consented to participate, while those with a history of congenital gynecological disorders were excluded. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), while depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). Menstrual cycle regularity was defined as a cycle length of 21–35 days with ≤7 days variation. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and odds ratios (OR). Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of Malahayati University, Lampung. Results: Most respondents (71.6%) had a regular menstrual cycle. Physical activity was significantly associated with menstrual cycle regularity (p = 0.001). Depression, anxiety, and stress were also significantly associated with menstrual cycle regularity (p < 0.05), with anxiety showing the strongest association (OR = 9.444). Conclusion: Physical activity and psychological factors were significantly associated with menstrual cycle regularity among adolescents, with anxiety as the strongest factor. School-based physical activity and mental health support may help promote menstrual health. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm causal relationships.

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, there are over 4 million births annually, with 7,503 occurring in Pesawaran District and 720 in Kedondong Public Health Center.  A preliminary survey at Kedondong Public Health Center revealed that most women experienced moderate to severe pain (pain scale 5–8). Existing interventions such as breathing techniques, spousal support, and positive suggestions have not been optimally effective in reducing pain. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), a non-pharmacological technique combining deep breathing with alternating muscle contraction and relaxation, is believed to reduce pain transmission and improve oxygen flow. Methods: This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of 51 laboring mothers at independent midwifery practices (PMB) in the Kedondong Health Center working area. A total of 32 participants were selected using accidental sampling and divided equally into intervention and control groups (16 each). Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods (Mann-Whitney test). Results: The univariate analysis showed that the average pain score in the intervention group before the relaxation technique was 7.06 and decreased to 5.44 after the intervention. In the control group, the average pain score before was 6.63 and slightly decreased to 6.00. The results indicated that progressive muscle relaxation was effective in reducing labor pain (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation is effective in reducing labor pain during the active phase of the first stage. Progressive muscle relaxation is applied as a non-pharmacological method to manage labor pain and increase maternal comfort and safety.

Abstract

Background: The well-being of postpartum mothers is a crucial aspect of maternal health services. However, many women encounter challenges during childbirth, including severe pain, stress, and a lack of information on pain management. Data from the Association of Indonesian Hospitals show that 15% of postpartum mothers experience complications, 21% suffer from severe pain, and 64% do not receive information on how to reduce labor pain. Reflexology therapy serves as a non-pharmacological method to relieve pain and enhance relaxation. This study analyzed the effectiveness of reflexology therapy in reducing pain and stress while improving the satisfaction of postpartum mothers with maternal health services. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group, conducted from June to October 2025 at Gondo Suwarno Hospital, Ungaran. Researchers purposively selected 60 postpartum mothers and divided them into two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Reflexology therapy significantly reduced pain and stress scores and increased maternal satisfaction in the intervention group, while no significant changes were observed in the control group. Between-group comparisons confirmed that the magnitude and direction of outcome changes favored the intervention group (p < 0.05). Reflexology therapy significantly reduced pain and stress levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05) and increased satisfaction with health services. Conclusion: Reflexology therapy contributes to postpartum maternal well-being through physiological pain modulation, psychological relaxation, and improved perceptions of care quality. Healthcare providers are encouraged to integrate reflexology as a complementary intervention in maternal health services
