Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period requiring special attention to nutritional needs. Chronic Energy Deficiency and anemia in pregnant women remain serious problems in Indonesia with a CED prevalence of 16.9% and anemia of 48.9%. Tulungagung Regency faces serious challenges with anemia (6.5%) and CED (6.3%) contributing to stunting. Tanjungsari Village, Boyolangu District,.This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach. The sample comprised 30 pregnant women in Tanjungsari Village selected through purposive sampling. There were significant improvements in nutritional knowledge (mean 62.4 → 86.7; p=0.00), attitudes (mean 45.8 → 62.5; p=0.001),  practices (mean 57.8 → 78.3; p=0.000). Nutritional status also showed significant improvements: MUAC (23.1 cm → 23.8 cm; p=0.002), body weight (54.2 kg → 56.8 kg; p=0.001), and hemoglobin levels (10.8 g/dL → 11.8 g/dL; p=0.000). The prevalence of CED risk decreased from 30.0% to 16.7%, and the prevalence of anemia decreased from 46.7% to 26.7%.

Abstract

Male participation in Indonesian family planning remains critically low, perpetuating a unilateral reproductive burden on women. In rural communities such as Wonocatur Village, Kediri, male contraceptive uptake is below 1%, yet empirical evidence capturing the multifaceted psychosocial drivers of this resistance remains scarce. This study aimed to determine the critical factors influencing contraceptive reluctance among married men of reproductive-aged couples. Employing an observational cross-sectional design with multiple binary logistic regression (), this research utilized a confidential hybrid survey model (combining private digital and paper-based instruments).

Abstract

Essential newborn care supports physiological adaptation and neonatal safety, but consistency of implementation may vary across service settings. Objective: To describe compliance with essential newborn care, identify components requiring improvement, and analyze score differences according to provider characteristics. This cross-sectional pilot analysis included 32 responses from health workers across several Indonesian regions. Twenty-eight items were scored 2 when performed according to standard, 1 when partially or incompletely performed, and 0 when not performed; non-applicable or unassessable responses were excluded from denominators. Composite and domain scores were summarized descriptively, while group differences were examined using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The mean composite score was 97.50% with a standard deviation of 6.17, the median was 100.00%, and 30 respondents, or 93.8%, were categorized as having very good compliance. The lowest domain was skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding initiation at 94.53%.

Abstract

As media influence public perceptions and humanitarian responses, understanding the narratives of Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) is important for evidence-informed disaster communication. This study aim to explore how Indonesian online news media represented breastfeeding and IYCF-E during a major disaster. An inductive qualitative content analysis was conducted on 16 news articles published between December 2025 and January 2026 from five major Indonesian online news portals. Data were analysed inductively, and trustworthiness was established using Lincoln and Guba's criteria. Five themes emerged: breastfeeding as the preferred emergency feeding strategy; feeding risks; complementary feeding and nutritional challenges; maternal and child health vulnerability; and institutional voices. Media consistently portrayed breastfeeding as the safest feeding practice. Complementary feeding received comparatively less attention. Indonesian online media largely aligned with evidence-based IYCF-E recommendations by prioritising breastfeeding protection, although complementary feeding received less attention.

Abstract

  DPT-HB-Hib immunization often causes side effects or Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI); therefore, mothers need to be informed about these effects to prevent anxiety stemming from a lack of knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the impact of education using leaflets regarding DPT-HB-Hib AEFI on mothers' knowledge levels. A pre-experimental, one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The study was conducted on June 21–22, 2026, at the Qurratu Akyun Independent Midwifery Practice (TPMB) in Jombang. Education served as the independent variable, while knowledge was the dependent variable. The study involved a population of 30 participants selected via total sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Pre-test results showed that 6 participants (20%) possessed a good level of knowledge, whereas post-test results showed that 19 participants (63.3%) had a good level of knowledge. The Wilcoxon statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.001.
