Abstract

Introduction: The percentage of obstetric complication handling in Indonesia in 2018 reached 94.16%, West Java reached 91.7% and Tasikmalaya reached 116.9%. Data from the Puspahiang Health Center shows that 90 pregnant women experience complications. Efforts to minimize the incidence of complications in pregnant women can be made through the utilization of the birth planning and complication prevention (P4K) program through education based on the pronalin web-based application. Objective: This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the Pronalin Web-based application as a P4K education media for pregnant women. Method: This study uses the research and development (R&D) method, which passes material testing and application feasibility testing. Results: The validation assessment by material experts showed a score of 53 (feasible) and the results of the suitability test for use by pregnant women obtained a percentage of 79.4%, which means that the pronalin web-based application is "Feasible" for use by pregnant women. Conclusion: The Pronalin web-based application is very feasible and needed according to the expectations of pregnant women in preparing for childbirth. It is recommended that Health Institutions such as Health centers improve obstetric services through socialization and use Pronalin in educational programs for pregnant women.

Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety during labor can disrupt maternal homeostasis and prolong the labor process, leading to complications for both mother and baby. Healing touch therapy is a complementary method aimed at reducing anxiety and facilitating labor progression, but its effects on physiological outcomes like endorphin levels and labor duration require further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of healing touch therapy on endorphin levels and the duration of the active phase of the first stage of labor. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-post-test design was used. A total of 40 pregnant women were divided into control (n=20) and intervention (n=20) groups. The intervention group received healing touch therapy three times for 30 minutes. Blood samples were taken before and after the therapy to measure endorphin levels, and labor duration was recorded. Results: Mann-Whitney tests showed no significant change in endorphin levels after healing touch therapy (p=0.379). However, the duration of the active phase of labor was significantly shorter in the intervention group (median: 254.5 minutes) compared to the control group (280 minutes) (p=0.005). Conclusion: While healing touch therapy did not significantly impact endorphin levels, it effectively reduced the duration of the active phase of labor, suggesting its potential to support labor progression. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, with Bengkulu City reporting a prevalence of 12.9% in 2022. Consumption of macro and micronutrients is a factor directly related to toddlers' nutritional status. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the differences in macro and micronutrient consumption among stunted toddlers in Bengkulu City. Methods: A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, involving 50 stunted toddlers and their mothers. Quantitative data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), while qualitative data were obtained through interviews with six mothers. Results: The results showed no significant differences in the consumption of energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and zinc between toddlers with severe stunting and stunting. However, a significant difference was found in iron consumption (p=0.048), with severely stunted toddlers consuming less iron compared to stunted toddlers. Interviews revealed similar dietary patterns among mothers of both groups, with rice as the staple food and limited fish consumption.  Conclusion: The findings suggest monitoring iron-rich food consumption in stunted children is essential. Strengthening family empowerment programs, expanding educational initiatives on iron consumption, and regular nutritional monitoring are recommended to address stunting. Promotion of affordable, iron-rich foods and monitoring of iron intake by mothers and health workers are crucial in the treatment of stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Early marriage remains a significant social issue in Indonesia, with adverse economic and health consequences, particularly for young girls. In Jambi Province, the prevalence of early marriage is notably high. Social norms, including parental attitudes, normative expectations, and reference group practices, are critical factors influencing this phenomenon. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the role of social norms in shaping parents' intentions to marry off their daughters at an early age in Jambi City. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 parents using cluster sampling across 11 sub-districts in Jambi City. Data on parental attitudes, empirical and normative expectations, sanctions, and reference group practices were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Parental attitudes (OR=4.08, 95% CI: 1.74–9.34, p=0.001), normative expectations (OR=3.62, 95% CI: 1.58–8.28, p=0.003), and reference group practices (OR=2.93, 95% CI: 1.36–6.33, p=0.009) were significantly associated with intentions for early marriage. Multivariate analysis confirmed parental attitudes as the strongest predictor (OR=3.42, 95% CI: 1.46–8.00, p=0.005). Conclusion: Social norms significantly influence parents' intentions to marry off their daughters early. Strategies to mitigate early marriage should focus on educating parents and community leaders, enforcing regulations, and reshaping societal norms to protect adolescents' health and future.

Abstract

Introduction: The proportion of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia has increased from 37.1% to 48.9% in 2018. This study aimed to determine the difference in the effectiveness of combining green bean (Vigna radiata) or red bean (Vigna angularis) juice with iron (Fe) tablets on hemoglobin (Hb) levels in pregnant women in Pontianak City, Indonesia. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a two-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on 32 pregnant women in their second trimester, divided into two groups of 16 each. The intervention group received a combination of green bean juice (300 ml/day) and Fe tablets, while the control group received a combination of red bean juice and Fe tablets for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with a 95% confidence level. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the increase of Hb levels between the intervention and control groups (p=0.01). The mean Hb level increased from 10.90 to 11.72 g/dL in the green bean group and from 10.78 to 12.41 g/dL in the red bean group. The combination of red bean juice and Fe tablets showed the highest mean difference in Hb levels (1.63 g/dL). Conclusions: In conclusion, both combinations of green bean or red bean juice with Fe tablets were effective in increasing Hb levels in pregnant women, with the red bean combination showing a higher effectiveness. These findings provide additional information for healthcare professionals in educating about legumes that can help increase blood Hb levels during pregnancy.
