Abstract

WHO (2019) states that the incidence of perineal rupture in Indonesia is 67.2%, an increase from the previous year, namely 60% in 2019 with an incidence of puerperal infection of 7%. Around 23-24% of postpartum mothers experience pain and discomfort during the 12 days postpartum. One effort to reduce pain due to perineal wounds and uncomfortable conditions after postpartum is the non-pharmacological method of cold compresses, which is simple and easy to do. Applying a cold compress is a form of skin stimulation using temperature. Cold compresses are known to provide an analgesic effect, namely in the form of slowing the speed of nerve conduction so that fewer pain impulses reach the brain. Purpose: To determine the comparison of cold compresses to reduce perineal wound pain in postpartum mothers at TPMB Bdn. Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT. Method: Simple experimental research with pretest and posttest and using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) instrument. The population of this study was all postpartum mothers at TPMB Bdn. Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT, So the results obtained from the calculation of this research sample were 34 respondents. Result: The results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a Z-value of -5.166 and an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that there was a significant difference in the reduction of perineal pain in postpartum women between before and after the application of cold compresses at the TPMB Bdn. Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT. Conclusion: Cold compresses can be used as an effective alternative treatment to reduce the intensity of perineal pain in postpartum women.

Abstract

Introduction:Menstrual cycle irregularities are a common reproductive health problem affecting approximately 32% of women of reproductive age in Indonesia, with academic stress considered a contributing factor.Objective:This study aimed toanalyzethe relationship between academic stress levels and menstrual cycle patterns among undergraduate midwifery students at STIKesAkbidyoYogyakarta.Methods:This study used an analytic cross-sectional design with total sampling of 65 active students. Academic stress was measured using the ASSESS questionnaire (22 valid items, Cronbach's Alpha = 0.896), and menstrual cycle data were collected through a single-time questionnaire asking respondents to retrospectively report their menstrual cycle patterns over the preceding three months (November 2025–January 2026). Data wereanalyzedusing Chi-Square and Spearman's Rank Correlation tests (α = 0.05).Results:The majority of respondents experienced moderate academic stress (81.5%), with Worry About Grades as the most dominant dimension (72.8%). Most respondents had regular menstrual cycles (66.2%), with a mean cycle length of 31.8 days and mean menstrual duration of 6.1 days. There was no statistically significant relationship between academic stress and menstrual cycle regularity (χ² = 0.876; p = 0.646), cycle length (r = −0.033; p = 0.801), or menstrual duration (r = 0.027; p = 0.833).Conclusion:The absence of a significant relationship may be attributed to predominantly moderate stress levels, good social support, and limited observation duration. Institutions are recommended to provide accessiblecounselingservices, balance academic workloads, and conduct regular mental health and reproductive health screenings.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a reproductive health problem commonly experienced by adolescent girls and can interfere with daily activities. One non-pharmacological approach that can be taken to reduce dysmenorrhea pain is yoga. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of yoga exercises in reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls at Al Azhar 14 Islamic High School in Semarang. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 45 female students in grade XI who experienced primary dysmenorrhea, selected using purposive sampling. Pain levels were measured before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The yoga exercise intervention was given once a week for two months (8 weeks). The data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test after meeting the Shapiro–Wilk normality test. Results: The average dysmenorrhea pain score before yoga exercise was 5.58 ± 1.865, while after yoga exercise it decreased to 3.93 ± 1.321. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), which means that there was a significant difference between the pain levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: Yoga exercises are effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls. Yoga exercises can be recommended as an alternative non-pharmacological therapy for treating dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Birth asphyxia remains a significant neonatal health problem because it may lead to hypoxia, metabolic acidosis, morbidity, and neonatal mortality. Maternal characteristics are important risk indicators that can be identified during pregnancy and childbirth. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between maternal age, parity, and a history of hypertension during pregnancy with birth asphyxia among newborns at H. Damanhuri Barabai Regional General Hospital, Hulu Sungai Tengah. Methods: This research used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 310 newborns selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Secondary data were obtained from the newborn and maternal registers, then processed using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using the Chi-square test with SPSS version 29. Results: Birth asphyxia was identified in 96 newborns (31.0%). Maternal age was significantly associated with birth asphyxia (p<0.001), as were parity (p<0.001) and a history of hypertension during pregnancy (p<0.001). Conclusion: Maternal age, parity, and a history of hypertension during pregnancy were significantly associated with the occurrence of birth asphyxia among newborns. Strengthening early risk detection during antenatal and intranatal care is needed to reduce preventable neonatal complications.

Abstract

Background: Gestational anemia continues to represent a prominent public health hurdle owing to its harmful impacts on maternal and neonatal health. Even with the regular supply of IFA supplementation during prenatal care, anemia rates remain elevated, showing that maternal awareness and supplement compliance may be important behavioral factors associated with the condition. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the independent associations of maternal awareness and IFA supplement compliance with anemia status among pregnant women. Methods: An observational cross-sectional investigation was executed involving 66 pregnant women visiting prenatal clinics at Pinang Jaya Primary Health Center, Bandar Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia. Maternal awareness and IFA compliance were gauged through structured surveys, whereas anemia was established via hemoglobin assessment. Data evaluation utilized Chi-square tests alongside multivariable binary logistic regression to compute adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: The prevalence of anemia reached 57.6%. Following adjustment for maternal age, parity, pregnancy trimester, and employment, individuals with weak awareness exhibited 4.26 times greater odds of anemia relative to those with proper understanding (AOR = 4.26; 95% CI: 1.31 to 13.81; p = 0.016). Likewise, non-compliant participants experienced 4.29-fold higher odds of anemia compared to compliant peers (AOR = 4.29; 95% CI: 1.31 to 13.99; p = 0.016). Conclusion: Inadequate maternal awareness and non-adherence to IFA supplementation were independently associated with gestational anemia. As this was a cross-sectional study, these findings reflect associations rather than causal relationships. Embedding behavior-focused nutritional instruction along with adherence support into routine prenatal care may help strengthen maternal anemia prevention efforts across primary care environments.

Abstract

Background:Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that may cause dehydration, weight loss, electrolyte disturbances, and impaired quality of life. Early identification of women who require closer assessment may support timely antenatal care.Objective:This study aimed to examine the associations of maternal age, education level, economic status, and parity with HG among first-trimester pregnant women treated in the Midwifery Ward of RSDKHBalangan.Methods:A retrospective analytical study was conducted using medical records of 154 first-trimester pregnant women recorded from January to December 2025. Total sampling was used. Data were analyzed descriptively and with Pearson's chi-square test; crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.Results:HG was documented in 80 women (51.9%). Risk age (<20 or >35 years) was associated with HG (p<0.001; OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.85–7.20), as were lower education (p<0.001; OR 3.85, 95% CI 1.95–7.58), lower economic status based on treatment class (p=0.010; OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.21–4.41), and risk parity (primiparity or grand multiparity) (p<0.001; OR 4.09, 95% CI 2.09–8.01).Conclusion:Maternal age, education, economic status, and parity were associated with HG in this hospital-based sample. The findings support combined early assessment and antenatal counseling, but they should not be interpreted as independent predictors or causal effects because the study was retrospective, single-center, and based on bivariate analyses.

Abstract

Menopause is a physiological phase characterized by a decline inestrogenlevels and the emergence of various symptoms that affect women’s quality of life. In addition to hormonal factors,hemoglobin(Hb) levels are suspected to influence the severity of menopausal symptoms.Purpose of the studytoanalyzehemoglobinlevels as a predictor of menopausal symptom severity based on the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 67 menopausal women aged 45–60 years in Pasir Lor Village,Banyumas. Data were collected through Hb measurement and MRS questionnaires. Data analysis included correlation tests and linear regression. The results showed a mean Hb level of 13.18 ± 1.17 g/dL and an MRS score of 17.03 ± 8.59. There was a significant negative correlation between Hb and MRS scores (rs= -0.355; p = 0.003). However, linear regression analysis indicated that Hb was not a significant predictor of menopausal symptom severity (p = 0.141; R² = 0.033). In conclusion,hemoglobinlevels are associated with menopausal symptom severity but are not a strong predictor. Other factors may play a more dominant role in determining the severity of menopausal symptoms.
