Abstract

Vaginal discharge is one of the most common reproductive health problems experienced by women of childbearing age (WUS). Lack of knowledge about vaginal discharge can lead women to perceive it as normal, thus avoiding preventive measures or health checkups. Health education using leaflets is one method that can increase WUS knowledge because it is simple, practical, and easy to understand. This study aims to determine the effect of leaflets on WUS knowledge about vaginal discharge at the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center in Bengkulu City. This study used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population was all 6,558 women of childbearing age in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center's work area. A sample of 30 respondents was drawn using a simple purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. Data analysis used a paired sample t-test. The results showed that before receiving the leaflets, most respondents had poor knowledge (19 respondents (63.3%), with an average knowledge score of 51.17). After being given the leaflets, respondents' knowledge increased, with an average score of 76.33, and the majority of respondents (18 respondents, 60.0%) had a sufficient level of knowledge. Statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that leaflets significantly increased women of childbearing age's knowledge about vaginal discharge. It was concluded that health education using leaflets significantly increased knowledge about vaginal discharge among women of childbearing age. Therefore, leaflets are expected to be utilized as a promotional and preventive measure by health workers to improve reproductive health knowledge among women of childbearing age.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that acute respiratory infections (ARI), especially pneumonia, remains the leading cause of death in children under five. In Indonesia, ARI remains the leading cause of infant visits to health care facilities. Prevention of ARI can be achieved through complete basic immunizations and the implementation of non-pharmacological interventions such as infant massage, which plays a role in boosting children's immune systems. This study aims to determine the relationship between complete immunizations and infant massage and the prevention of ARI among toddlers in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center work area in 2025. This study used quantitative methods with a cross-sectional design. The population was all toddlers aged 12–59 months in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center work area, totaling 660 toddlers. A sample of 87 respondents was drawn using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between complete immunization and the prevention of ARI in toddlers (p = 0.004 (p < 0.05), and there was a significant relationship between infant massage and the prevention of ARI in toddlers (p = 0.007 (p < 0.05). It was concluded that complete immunization and infant massage are significantly associated with the prevention of ARI in toddlers. Therefore, it is hoped that health workers can increase public education regarding the importance of complete basic immunization and infant massage as promotive and preventive efforts to reduce the incidence of ARI in toddlers.

Abstract

Health-related behavioral issues among preschool-aged children are generally closely linked to personal hygiene. Epidemiologically, the spread of diseases resulting from a lack of healthy behaviors among preschool children in Indonesia remains quite high, such as dengue fever, diarrhea, intestinal parasites, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), hand-foot-mouth disease, measles, chickenpox, mumps, eye infections, and ear infections. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between parenting styles and personal hygiene independence among preschool children at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The research method used was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed total sampling, with a sample size of 31 preschool children from Classes A and B at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The results of the univariate analysis showed that a small proportion of respondents (22.6%) had an authoritarian parenting style, while the majority of respondents (61.3%) exhibited low personal hygiene independence. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between parenting style and personal hygiene independence in preschool children (p = 0.001). There is a relationship between the level of parenting style and personal hygiene independence among preschool children at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The researcher recommends that the study site, the school, utilize these findings to develop guidance and counseling programs for parents regarding parenting styles that can support students’ independence in maintaining personal hygiene.

Abstract

South Sumatra Health Profile (2023): The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in South Sumatra in 2023 was 68.9%, up from 66.3% the previous year. The regency/city with the highest exclusive breastfeeding coverage is Palembang City at 68.9%, while the lowest is Prabumulih City at 39.8%. In Musi Rawas Regency, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2021 was 54.1%, in 2022 it was 81%, but in 2023 it decreased to 65%. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of education on the importance of breastfeeding on mothers’ motivation to breastfeed in the service area of the Selangit Musi Rawas Community Health Center in 2025. The research method used is a quasi-experimental study employing a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a sample size of 15 participants. The results of the univariate analysis showed that most respondents (53.3%) had low motivation before the intervention, while most respondents (73.3%) had high motivation after the intervention. The results of the bivariate Wilcoxon test analysis indicated that education on the importance of breastfeeding influenced mothers’ motivation to breastfeed. Education on the importance of breastfeeding has an effect on mothers’ motivation to breastfeed in the Selangit Musi Rawas Community Health Center (Puskesmas) service area in 2025. The researchers recommend that the Puskesmas be more active in implementing health education programs regarding breastfeeding, whether through prenatal classes, integrated health service posts (posyandu), or individual breastfeeding counseling.
