Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding remains a key strategy to improve infant health and reduce morbidity and mortality; however, its coverage is still suboptimal in several remote regions of Indonesia, including Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains. Antenatal classes are designed to improve maternal knowledge, skills, and confidence in preparing for childbirth and infant care, including breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to examine the association between active participation in antenatal classes and exclusive breastfeeding practices at Aplim Community Health Center, Yahukimo Regency. This research employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of mothers with infants aged 6–12 months within the working area of Aplim Community Health Center. A total sampling technique was used, resulting in 30 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing maternal characteristics, level of participation in antenatal classes, and exclusive breastfeeding practices during the first six months of life. Active participation was defined as attending at least three sessions and engaging actively during discussions. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that among 19 mothers categorized as active participants, 18 (94.7%) practiced exclusive breastfeeding. In contrast, among 11 mothers categorized as inactive, only 2 (10.0%) provided exclusive breastfeeding. Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between active participation in antenatal classes and exclusive breastfeeding (p < 0.001). In conclusion, active participation in antenatal classes is significantly associated with higher likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Strengthening maternal engagement in antenatal education programs may contribute to improved breastfeeding outcomes in remote and underserved areas.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS is an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(AIDS) disease, namely a collection of symptoms of the disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) found in human body fluids. This disease is a global health threat because cases continue to increase, so it requires substantially innovative health services with effective prevention such as educational counseling, and counseling by health workers, it is very important to pay attention to how the disease is transmitted. This disease counseling provides general information on preventing HIV AIDS with the hope that sufferers will continue to live socially well, improve their quality of life and prevent new cases and improve continuous treatment services for sufferers. Counseling with lecture, discussion and question and answer methods by both sufferers and the general public, prevents unpleasant stigma and discrimination in society against HIV AIDS sufferers, the results of this activity found that 80% of respondents knew about HIV/AIDS and 20% of respondents did not know, therefore this counseling provides information to the public that what should be avoided is the disease, not the sufferer.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas, and prevention efforts must begin during pregnancy. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and awareness regarding high-risk pregnancy and maternal nutritional monitoring as an early strategy to prevent stunting in Tupabiring Village. The program was conducted using a structured approach consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Activities included health education sessions, interactive discussions, nutritional status assessment through body weight and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements, anemia risk identification, and individualized counseling for pregnant women. The results showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge of high-risk pregnancy, danger signs, balanced maternal nutrition, and the importance of routine antenatal care (ANC) visits. Nutritional monitoring enabled early identification of pregnant women at risk of nutritional problems, providing a basis for targeted counseling and follow-up recommendations. The involvement of family members and community health cadres strengthened community participation and program sustainability. In conclusion, education combined with maternal nutritional monitoring is an effective community-based intervention to enhance maternal health awareness and support early stunting prevention efforts. Sustainable and integrated programs at the village level are recommended to optimize long-term maternal and child health outcomes
