Abstract

4T pregnancy defined as pregnancy occurring at too young an age (under 20 years), too old (over 35 years), too many children, or with birth intervals that are too close—remains a significant contributor to maternal and neonatal complications. This study aimed to analyze family-related factors associated with 4T pregnancy at UPTD Puskesmas Ubung, Central Lombok, Indonesia, in 2024. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed using primary data collected through structured questionnaires and guided interviews. The study population consisted of all pregnant women attending antenatal care services at UPTD Puskesmas Ubung in 2024 (N = 108). A total of 85 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and chi-square tests with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results indicated that multiparous mothers (p = 0.047), working mothers (p = 0.023), and mothers within the ideal reproductive age (20–35 years) (p = 0.0001) had a significantly lower risk of 4T pregnancy. In addition, good family knowledge (p = 0.034) and strong family support (p = 0.015) were significantly associated with a reduced risk of 4T pregnancy. This study concludes that family factors play a crucial role in mitigating the risk of 4T pregnancy. Future interventions should prioritize family-based reproductive health education and further longitudinal studies are recommended to explore causal relationships between family factors and high-risk pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Stunting is a global nutritional problem that affects children’s health and development, characterized by a height-for-age index below the standard growth reference. This study aimed to determine the effect of counseling on mothers’ knowledge and attitudes in handling stunted toddlers in Sumberejo Village, Kediri Regency. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The study population consisted of all mothers of stunted toddlers in the village, totaling 36 respondents, who were included as research samples. Counseling on stunting served as the independent variable, while mothers’ knowledge and attitudes were the dependent variables. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the McNemar test. The results showed a significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge after counseling (p = 0.013), indicated by a decrease in low knowledge levels from 50% to 22%. However, no significant change was found in mothers’ attitudes (p = 0.754). In conclusion, counseling effectively improves maternal knowledge but has not significantly influenced attitudes toward stunting management, highlighting the need for continuous and comprehensive education programs.

Abstract

Labor pain and anxiety are major challenges faced by women during childbirth. High levels of stress can disrupt labor progress and lead to increased medical interventions. Hypnobirthing, a technique that utilizes breathing, visualization, and self-hypnosis, has emerged as a holistic and non-pharmacological approach to support laboring women. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of hypnobirthing in reducing labor pain intensity and maternal anxiety during the first stage of labor. This quasi-experimental study included 60 primigravida women at a maternity hospital. Participants were divided into an intervention group (hypnobirthing) and a control group (routine care). The intervention group received guided hypnobirthing sessions during the active phase of labor. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and anxiety was assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Women in the hypnobirthing group experienced a significant reduction in both anxiety and pain scores compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Hypnobirthing techniques contributed to a more positive and controlled labor experience.  Hypnobirthing is an effective non-pharmacological method to reduce labor pain and anxiety. It may be recommended as part of comprehensive antenatal education and labor management.

Abstract

Immunization is a form of government commitment to reducing child mortality. The coverage of UCI in Central Java province in 2019 was 99.98%. Meanwhile, BCG immunization coverage in Karanganyar Regency is lower at 97.2% with pulmonary TB cases in 2019 reaching 245 cases. Mother's knowledge influences mother's behavior in administering BCG immunization. The study used an observational analytical method with a cross sectional approach. The research was conducted at the Karanganyar Regency Regional Health Center in April-May 2021. The instrument used is a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Sampling by purposive sampling technique with 35 respondents. Data analysis using logistic regression. The results of the study were obtained that there was a relationship between maternal age and parity with the level of maternal knowledge about BCG immunization with a p value of 0.02 and 0.036, respectively. Socio-demographic factors, namely maternal age, parity, education, employment and family income together have the ability to affect the level of maternal knowledge about BCG immunization by 57.8%, meaning that 42.2% are influenced by other factors outside the study variables.

Abstract

Cigarettes are a major cause of health problems, particularly serious lung disease. Smoking habits among adolescents are increasing and can pose long-term health risks. Effective education about the dangers of smoking is crucial from an early age. The use of direct visualization media is believed to improve students' understanding and awareness better than conventional methods. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of direct visualization about the dangers of smoking on the lungs in improving the knowledge and attitudes of students at SMAN 1 Kandat. This research was pre-experimental study with one-group pretest-posttest design. The research samples were 95 eleventh-grade students. The Samples were chosen with accidental technique sampling that selected based on discussions conducted by all examiners and guidance counselors at SMAN 1 Kandat. The main instrument was a valid and reliable questionnaire to measure knowledge and attitudes before and after visualization intervention with simulation. The study showed a significant increase in knowledge, from the “poor” category (86.3%) before the intervention to “good” (88.4%) after the intervention. Attitudes also shifted from predominantly negative (76.8%) to more positive (89.5%) after the intervention. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed a significant difference in knowledge and attitudes before and after the intervention (p < 0.05), so there was a difference in knowledge and attitudes before and after direct visualization. This study found that the use of direct visualization as "shock therapy" was more effective in increasing students' knowledge and modifying their attitudes than conventional educational methods. This innovative strategy is recommended as a component of school health programs to foster awareness and preventative behavior among adolescents.
