Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer  among women,  with fatigue being one of  its common side effects. This study aims to ascertain the effect of Moringa oleifera and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on fatigue in breast cancer patients. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a total of 50 respondents, divided into  an intervention group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 25), selected through simple random sampling. The study was conducted at the Bayangkara Hospital in Kediri City. The intervention group received  Moringa oleifera at a dose of 500 mg  twice daily  for 30 days  alongside mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for 8 weeks. The data were tested using a t-test  with SPPS version 17.  Results: Posttest results showed  a significant reduction in fatigue levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (m = 1.82 SD = 1.83 vs m = 3.34 SD = 2.24), p-value 0.001.  Conclusion: These findings show  a combination of Moringa oleifera and MBCT is effective in  reducing fatigue  among breast cancer patients.  The interventions are practical, non-invasive strategies that healthcare professionals can consider for improving the stamina and quality of life of breast cancer patients.

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.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal mortality remains a critical global health challenge, with approximately 287,000 pregnancy-related deaths recorded in 2020 (WHO, 2024). In Indonesia, where maternal healthcare access varies significantly, digital interventions may offer scalable solutions. This quasi-experimental study evaluates the effectiveness of an Android-based prenatal education application in improving knowledge and attitudes among first-time mothers in Cimahi, West Java. By comparing app-based learning with traditional methods, we assess whether mobile technology can help bridge gaps in maternal health education and contribute to safer pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 120 first-trimester primigravida women (60 intervention, 60 control) in Cimahi City. The independent variable was the use of an Android-based prenatal education application; dependent variables were maternal knowledge and attitudes. Instruments included a validated 20-item knowledge test and a 10-item attitude Likert scale. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, as well as SmartPLS path modeling.  Results: In the intervention group, knowledge scores increased from 19.8 ± 2.1 to 34.3 ± 2.0, and attitude scores improved from 8.2 ± 1.2 to 13.3 ± 2.8 (p < 0.001). The control group showed smaller, non-significant changes (knowledge: 19.5 ± 2.2 to 21.5 ± 2.6; attitude: 7.3 ± 1.5 to 8.3 ± 1.6). Post-test differences between groups were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Android-based prenatal education application significantly enhanced the knowledge and attitudes of first-time pregnant women. These findings support the integration of digital education into routine antenatal care services.

Abstract

Background: The Obstetric Early Warning System does not seem to be well known among health workers, especially midwives. One way to prevent maternal mortality, which is quite high in Indonesia, is to prevent delays in diagnosis through appropriate screening, thereby enabling quicker treatment, thus resulting in a reduction in cases of maternal mortality. This study tries to discuss the evidence regarding the application of the Obstetric Early Warning System by showing its accuracy in predicting maternal morbidity. Method: A systematic Literature Review is the right choice to collect the latest evidence. Search for articles through electronic browser databases, namely Pubmed and Google Scholar. This browser was chosen because it was considered to have a more complete source based on the research topic, namely obstetric early warning. The key words used are MOEWS, MEWT, MEWC, MEWS in the period 2013-October 2023. Results: A total of 2647 articles were obtained but only 8 selected articles were discussed because they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Early warning in obstetric patients evaluated in this study consisted of SOS, MOEWS, MEWT, SI, e-CART, MEWC, and MEWS. Conclusion: The obstetric early warning system can predict maternal morbidity, although the level of accuracy varies. All early warning systems always begin with checking vital signs so the assessment needs to be carried out carefully to initiate immediate action if necessary.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy and birth experience is essentially a social construction shaped by cultural perceptions and practices. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to identify the most common practices in their environment to improve the concept of care for the patients. This study aimed to determine the socio-cultural aspects of childbirth care in the coastal area of Mamuju (Karampuang and Beru-Beru villages), Mamuju Regency. Methods: This study use a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The subjects of this study consisted of the primary informants, the mothers in labor, and supporting informants, the village midwives, shamans, and community leaders. Results: It showed that the socio-cultural aspects during childbirth were in the form of myths or beliefs related to specific behaviors and rituals. The behavior is a form of symbolic language containing the meaning of merit or to ease the labor process. From a health perspective, these myths do not have a direct negative impact on health status. However, some myths can maintain and improve maternal health if adequately supervised. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals need a synergistically and sustainably practical communication approach to change attitudes and behavior related to childbirth care with an adaptive approach while respecting the good values in every aspect of culture.
