Abstract

The return of menstruation after childbirth is an important aspect of women's reproductive health, especially in the context of contraceptive use. This study aims to explore how the return of menstruation after childbirth is closely connected to contraceptive use, with various factors such as age, marital status, region, place of residence, education level, ethnicity, and wealth index in Kyrgyzstan playing a role.  This study employed secondary data from the Kyrgyzstan 2023 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), focusing on women of reproductive age (15-49 years). The analysis utilized a final sample of 1.059 women and applied binary logistic regression to examine the relationship between contraceptive use and the return of menstruation after childbirth while controlling for factors such as age, marital status, region, education level, ethnicity, and wealth index. The study found that among 1.059 women who had given birth, 30.88% were using contraceptive methods, and 64.68% experienced the return of menstruation post-childbirth. The multivariate analysis indicates that menstrual return after giving birth, having marital status formerly married/in union, in Naryn, Talas, and Chui region, and having the richest wealth index significantly influence contraceptive use among women of reproductive age. These results underscore the importance of comprehensive sexual health education, improved healthcare services, and targeted communication strategies to increase contraceptive use in the region.

Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) remain a major contributor to maternal mortality, particularly due to complications such as preeclampsia and eclampsia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 585,000 maternal deaths occur annually, with more than half related to HDP. This study aimed to analyze the effect of effleurage massage on blood pressure in hypertensive pregnant women in Gorontalo City, Indonesia. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was applied. Sixty pregnant women aged 20–39 years, with gestational age 20–36 weeks and systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, were recruited through purposive sampling. Participants received effleurage massage on the upper body for 20 minutes daily over five consecutive days. Blood pressure was measured before and after intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. The results showed significant reductions in mean systolic blood pressure (from 146.9 ± 3.7 to 132.0 ± 4.0 mmHg; p = 0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (from 88.3 ± 4.0 to 77.6 ± 4.1 mmHg; p = 0.000). Effleurage massage demonstrated a consistent lowering effect across all participants. This non-pharmacological intervention may serve as a safe complementary approach to antenatal care for mild HDP. Future randomized controlled trials are recommended to confirm its efficacy and to explore maternal–fetal outcomes.

Abstract

Despite heightened global focus on menstrual health and gender equality, adolescent girls in rural Nigeria still encounter significant deficiencies in knowledge and attitudes.  Misinformation and cultural taboos regarding menstruation perpetuate negative gender norms, thereby constraining the empowerment and participation of girls. This study examines the relationship between adolescent girls' menstrual knowledge and their attitudes toward gender norms in rural areas of three northern Nigerian states. This is a cross-sectional study that utilized secondary data from the World Bank’s AGILE Impact Evaluation 2023, with a sample of 8,188 in-school adolescent girls aged 15–20 from Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina States in northern Nigeria. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between knowledge of menstruation and gender attitudes, controlling for religion, state, place of residence, and boarding school attendance. Good menstrual knowledge was found to be very poor among the adolescent girls (2.80%), and their gender attitudes were also abysmal (96.91%). Adolescent girls possessing good menstrual knowledge demonstrated an almost twofold likelihood of exhibiting positive gender attitudes (AOR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.13–3.51, p = 0.018). Muslim adolescents, as well as those residing in Kano and Katsina states, exhibited a notable decrease in the likelihood of possessing progressive gender attitudes. Urban residency correlated with improved gender attitudes, whereas attendance at boarding schools exhibited no notable impact. Poor understanding of menstruation is linked to poor gender attitudes among female adolescents in rural northern Nigeria. Integrating menstrual health education programs with sensitization about gender norms is essential for enhancing girls' empowerment and addressing discriminatory norms. Therefore, policies must consider sociocultural and religious influences that shape adolescent gender ideologies.

Abstract

Sargassum sp., a brown macroalga abundant in Indonesia's coastal ecosystems, has garnered attention for its diverse bioactive compounds with pharmacological potential. However, its application as a natural antimalarial and antioxidant agent remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the secondary metabolites in ethanol extracts of Sargassum sp. and evaluate their antioxidant and potential antimalarial activities. Ethanol extraction was conducted using the maceration technique, followed by phytochemical screening, FT-IR, and GC-MS analyses to characterize the extract. The results revealed the presence of saponins, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, and flavonoids. FT-IR and GC-MS confirmed compounds associated with antioxidant and antimalarial properties. The extract exhibited notable antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 26.16 ppm. These findings highlight the potential of ethanol-extracted Sargassum sp. as a promising source for the development of safer, resistance-limiting antimalarial and antioxidant agents.

Abstract

Elderly independence is essential for maintaining quality of life and functional ability. Family involvement has been shown to support this independence, but evidence from quasi-experimental studies in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Family Support Model on elderly independence in selected Public Health Center areas of Yogyakarta and Central Java. A quasi-experimental design with pre-post-test control group was conducted from March to October 2022. A total of 96 elderly participants without chronic illness were purposively assigned to experimental (n=48) and control groups (n=48). The intervention applied the Family Support Model, which included family education, structured assistance with daily activities, weekly follow-ups, and joint problem-solving involving families and health personnel. Independence was assessed using a validated questionnaire based on the Katz Index, covering both Basic (BADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). Measurements were conducted at baseline, and at one, two, and three months post-intervention. Results showed a significant increase in self-care independence in the experimental group from 0% to 97.8%, and a decrease in self-care deficit from 63% to 2.2%. In contrast, the control group showed modest improvements, with independence increasing from 0% to 32.6%, and deficit decreasing from 78.3% to 67.4%. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant differences between groups over time (p < 0.001). The conclusion is the Family Support Model is effective in enhancing elderly independence. It can be adopted as a practical, community-based intervention to sustain daily functioning and improve the quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Postpartum care is a critical component of maternal health, as it helps prevent complications and ensures the well-being of both mother and newborn. Despite global improvements in maternal healthcare, disparities in postpartum care utilization remain a significant public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Bangladesh. This study aimed to examine the impact of caesarean section and place of delivery on the utilization of postpartum care among women in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was conducted using nationally representative survey data, analyzing women who had delivered at health facilities. Univariate analysis described the distribution of sociodemographic characteristics and delivery-related factors, while bivariate analysis employed Chi-square tests to examine associations between independent variables and postpartum care utilization. Multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression assessed the adjusted impact of caesarean section, place of delivery, prenatal care, and household wealth on postpartum care uptake. The results revealed that women who delivered by non-caesarean section were 55% less likely to utilize postpartum care compared to those delivered via caesarean section. Women who delivered at private health facilities were 1.22 times more likely to utilize postpartum care than those at public facilities. Not receiving prenatal care decreased the probability of postpartum care by 55%, while women from the fourth wealth quintile and richest households were 1.58 and 2.60 times more likely, respectively, to access postpartum services compared to the poorest households. These findings underscore the importance of promoting equitable access to postpartum care, particularly for women delivering vaginally, at public facilities, or from lower-income households. Targeted policies that train providers in standardized postpartum care, strengthen follow-up through digital reminders and community health workers, and expand access in underserved areas can reduce disparities and improve maternal health outcomes in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Access to accurate health information plays a pivotal role in shaping women’s awareness and practices regarding HIV prevention, particularly during pregnancy. Mass media and information and communication technology (ICT) serve as crucial platforms for disseminating knowledge that can reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This study aims to examine the impact of access to mass media and ICT on women’s knowledge of HIV transmission during pregnancy. This study utilized secondary data from the 2021 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in Fiji, conducted by the Fiji Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with UNICEF. A total of 3,649 women aged 15–49 years were included after excluding missing values. The outcome variable was knowledge of HIV transmission during pregnancy, while main independent variables were access to mass media and ICT, along with sociodemographic factors. Data analysis consisted of univariate, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression, with significance set at p <0.05. The findings revealed that only 59.36% of women correctly identified that HIV can be transmitted during pregnancy. The findings revealed that only 59.36% of women correctly identified that HIV can be transmitted during pregnancy. Several factors were significantly associated with HIV knowledge, including internet use, mobile phone ownership, reading newspapers, age group, marital status, and education. Among these, internet use and reading newspapers were found to substantially increase the likelihood of having HIV knowledge, while higher education and older age served as strong predictors. In contrast, women from the richest households and those who had never married showed lower odds of being knowledgeable about HIV transmission during pregnancy. Access to mass media, ICT, age, marital status, and education significantly influenced women’s knowledge of HIV transmission during pregnancy. These findings highlight the need to integrate HIV education into antenatal care, community programs, and digital platforms to improve maternal knowledge.

Abstract

Stunting remains a critical issue of chronic malnutrition, especially in regions with abundant food resources but poor sanitation and nutrition education. This study aims to analyze the determinants of stunting among toddlers in the riverbank areas of Aluh-Aluh District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. A case-control design was used, involving 142 children (72 cases and 70 controls) selected randomly from two villages. Variables examined include the dietary patterns of children and pregnant women, maternal nutritional status (chronic energy deficiency), exclusive breastfeeding, a history of infections, drinking water sanitation, and household food expenditure. Multivariate logistic regression revealed six significant determinants of stunting: poor maternal diet (OR=5.404), maternal undernutrition (OR=11.546), lack of exclusive breastfeeding (OR=3.198), inadequate toddler diet (OR=2.600), unboiled tap water consumption (OR=2.767), and high household food expenditure (OR=6.111). Despite being a food-rich region, the high stunting prevalence reflects structural issues in maternal education, childcare practices, and sanitation access. These findings highlight the need for contextual, integrated, and community-based interventions targeting the First 1000 Days of Life. Stunting prevention efforts should prioritize maternal nutrition education, exclusive breastfeeding promotion, improved sanitation, and the utilization of local resources and village funding.

Abstract

Children are one of the most vulnerable groups to lead exposure. Exposure in children is primarily related to hand-to-mouth activities and environmental conditions. Studies on lead level in homes measurements, which are linked to blood lead levels in children, are still rare. The objective of the study was to identify lead levels on painted surfaces, consisting of doors and walls, in the homes of children aged 12-59 months who had high blood lead levels (≥ 20 μg/dl). The method was a cross- sectional study conducted in Java, Indonesia, comparing lead exposed and unexposed in areas with battery recycling activities to a demographically similar control area without such activities (Cinangneng-Bogor). The results showed among the 145 inspected homes in the exposed areas, 40 were measured on doors and 93 on walls; meanwhile among the 240 inspected homes in the unexposed areas, 35 were measured on doors and 36 on walls. In the exposed areas, the lead levels at the door ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 891.36 µg/cm2 and it was not different (p = 0,671) from that in the unexposed areas, i.e. ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 537.03 µg/cm2. Meanwhile, the lead levels at the walls in the exposed areas were measured ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 279.21 µg/cm2 (median 0.65 µg/cm2), and it was significantly different (p <0.001) from that in the unexposed area, i.e. ranged from 0.00 µg/cm2 – 45.64 µg/cm2 (median 0.00 µg/cm2). The findings of lead exposure in the children’s homes lead to a strong recommendation to regulate the elimination of lead in the household paints, and to escalate community concern of domestic lead hazards.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections  (ARI) remain one of the primary causes of mortality among children under 5 in Indonesia, and poor inadequate drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions can exacerbated the transmission of respiratory pathogens. However, their association with ARIs in Indonesia remains underreported. This study aimed to analyze the contribution of these sanitation conditions to ARI symptoms in children under five in Indonesia. This research method was cross-sectional quantitative design study based on secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), based on secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), which was the most recent available at the time of the study. The determined sample consisted all toddlers aged 0-59 months, from women aged 15-49 years. The weighted sample that met the inclusion criteria (children aged 0-59 months, living with their parents, willing to answer questions) and exclusion criteria (missing data and "don't know" answers) consisted of 16,681 observations. Independent variables included sanitation infrastructure, mother’s education, wealth index, and residential location. The dependent variable was reported ARI symptoms in 2 weeks prior to the interview by their mother. Data were analyzed using CI 95% logistic regression to determine associations, and pathway analysis was conducted to explore the direct and indirect relationships among variables. Poor toilet facilities [OR: 1.80, CI: 1.46-2,27] increased the risk of ARI symptom, meanwhile treated water before consumption reduce the risk [OR:0.63, CI:0.51-0.77]. Long travel distances to clean water aslo were found as factor that increased the risk of ARI symptoms [OR:2.31, CI:0.65-3.02]. Indirect factors such as low mother’s education, low wealth index, and rural residency, also contributed to ARI symptoms in children. In conclusion, inadequate household sanitation significantly contribute to ARI symptoms in children under five in Indonesia. These findings underscore the need for improved sanitation infrastructure and targeted health interventions in vulnerable communities.
