Abstract

Introduction: Breastfeeding mothers often face challenges, particularly psychological and sociocultural barriers. Globally, maternal mental health and sociocultural factors are major concerns in exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to identify the psychological and sociocultural conditions of breastfeeding mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: A purposive sampling technique was used to select 144 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 6–12 months. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire in July–August 2024. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical methods. Results: The results showed that exclusive breastfeeding was significantly influenced by maternal psychological conditions (p=0.044), attitudes towards breastfeeding myths and beliefs (p=0.028), cultural practices (p=0.001), and social practices (p=0.007). Multivariate analysis confirmed that maternal psychological conditions, attitudes towards breastfeeding myths and beliefs, and cultural practices collectively influenced exclusive breastfeeding. Good cultural practices were identified as a key factor in successful exclusive breastfeeding Conclusion: A comprehensive approach is needed to promote positive cultural practices through family-based education. Additionally, active involvement of husbands and families is crucial in providing optimal support to ensure mothers are in a stable psychological and sociocultural condition, enabling them to successfully practice exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting in children is associated with low concentrations of protein and amino acids in blood serum, which can potentially be prevented by consuming essential nutrients during pregnancy. Pilsbryoconcha exilis clam, highly available in Morowali, Central Sulawesi, is currently used to produce floss dishes. This study aimed to calculate the potential of protein and amino acids in clam floss (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) as an alternative dish to prevent stunting in pregnant women. Methods: This quantitative descriptive study compared the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for pregnant women with the content analysis of clam floss (Pilsbryoconcha exilis). Protein analysis was conducted using the AOAC method, while amino acid analysis was performed using HPLC. Results: The potential protein intake from clam floss was 223.07 g/kg body weight per day. The essential and non-essential amino acid content in clam floss (g/kg body weight per day) was as follows: histidine (5.47), isoleucine (3.62), leucine (5.04), lysine (4.8), methionine + cystine (9.65), phenylalanine + tyrosine (3.67), threonine (3.51), tryptophan (50.3), and valine (3.85). Conclusion: The potential of protein and amino acids in clam floss is concluded to be an average of 223.07 g/day and 9.98 g/kg body weight per day, respectively. Clam floss could serve as an alternative dish for pregnant women to prevent stunting. Further research considering in-vivo evaluations is encouraged.

Abstract

Background : Obesity is an imbalance between food intake and the amount of energy used during daily activities. RI Health Data for 2017 recorded 153,705 cases of death due to obesity found in the age group of adolescents and young adults. There is still a lack of optimizing the government's efforts in handling obesity cases so there is a need for new innovations that can help reduce the incidence of obesity, especially in young women. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acuyoga on body mass index and abdominal circumference of obese female adolescents Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a one group design pretest posttest research conducted during February-March 2023. The sampling method for this study was purposive sampling with a total sample of 30 people. Results: Obtained an average difference in body mass index before and after being given acuyoga of 0.01 (p=0.000) and abdominal circumference of 1.20 (p=0.000) Conclusion: Acuyoga is effective in reducing body mass index and abdominal circumference in obese female adolescents

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: During the third-trimester pregnancy, 70% of pregnant women experience back pain and 64% sleep problems. Pharmacological approaches may increase prenatal abnormalities with adverse consequences for the fetus due to side effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological techniques are attracting lot of interest and attention from pregnant women to overcome these discomforts. Purpose: To determine effects of combining prenatal gentle yoga with lavender aromatherapy on lower back pain and sleep quality in third-trimester pregnant women. Methods: The design was Quasy-experimental of Pre-Posttest with Non-equivalent Control Groups. The study was conducted from February to August 2023 at Puskesmas Mengwi I, Badung Regency, Bali. 44 third-trimester pregnant women were selected by a simple random sampling technique and assigned to two groups: control and intervention. Results: Low back pain in the control group was higher than the intervention group (p-value 0.000). Sleep quality in the control group was lower than the intervention group (p-value 0.000). In the intervention group, there was a significant difference in low back pain before and after the study (p-value = 0.000), as well as in sleep quality before and after the study (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: The combination yoga with lavender aromatherapy can improve the scale of lower back pain and better sleep quality for pregnant women in the third trimester.

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.
