<![CDATA[Childbirth is a natural process that causes severe pain due to uterine contractions. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to prolonged labor and threaten the safety of the mother and fetus. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a combination of warm compresses and deep breathing relaxation on the intensity of labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor in mothers giving birth. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest and posttest with control group design. A total of 32 women in active phase I labor at the Karangan Community Health Center were respondents, with 16 in the experimental group receiving warm compress and deep breathing relaxation intervention, and 16 in the control group receiving deep breathing relaxation. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Paired T-Test, Wilcoxon, and Mann Whitney tests. The results showed a decrease in average pain intensity of 1.84 in the experimental group, while the control group only experienced a decrease of 1. The statistical test p-value of 0.003 (p < 0.05) showed that the combination of warm compresses and deep breathing relaxation was more effective in reducing pain intensity during active phase I labor compared to deep breathing relaxation alone. This conclusion indicates the significant effectiveness of warm compresses and deep breathing relaxation in reducing labor pain intensity.]]>

<![CDATA[Measles remains a significant health concern in Indonesia. The government continues to promote immunization programs to achieve optimal public health and a prosperous society. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 12 of 2017, immunization aims to build immunity so that individuals who are later exposed experience only mild symptoms. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parents’ knowledge and support in decision-making regarding MR (Measles Rubella) immunization among kindergarten students in Sungai Ambawang Kuala Village. Using a quantitative descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, data were collected at one point in time.The results showed a significant relationship between parents’ knowledge (p < 0.05; OR = 15.6) and parental support (p < 0.05; OR = 26) with the decision to administer MR immunization. In conclusion, improving parental knowledge and support is essential to increase MR immunization coverage and program success.]]>

<![CDATA[Anemia in adolescent girls (rematri) is a serious health problem that affects academic performance and increases the risk of anemia during pregnancy, potentially disrupting fetal growth and development. The government is trying to address this by providing iron tablets to all adolescent girls to meet their iron intake. This study aims to analyze the effect of using iron tablet consumption monitoring cards on increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls at SMPN 03 Sadaniang, Mempawah Regency. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a pre- and post-test design without a control group. The sampling technique used was total sampling on 31 adolescent girls. The results showed an increase in hemoglobin levels after the intervention. Before the treatment, the respondents' hemoglobin levels ranged from 7.9 mg/dl to 11.8 mg/dl, with an average of 11 g/dl. After the intervention using the monitoring card, hemoglobin levels increased to 11.2 g/dl to 14.1 g/dl, with an average of 12.91 g/dl. It was concluded that there was a significant effect of the use of iron tablet consumption monitoring cards on the increase in hemoglobin levels among female students at SMPN 03 Sadaniang, Mempawah Regency.]]>

<![CDATA[The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women at the Mandor Community Health Center is quite high, reaching 27.4% of 575 targets, with 147 cases of mild anemia (9-10 g/dl) and 11 cases of moderate anemia (7-8 g/dl). Preventive measures were taken pharmacologically by administering 90 Fe tablets, as well as non-pharmacologically by consuming citrus fruits or dragon fruit combined with Fe tablets. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of citrus fruits and Fe tablets compared to the combination of dragon fruit and Fe tablets in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia at the Mandor Community Health Center. Using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest two-group design, this study involved 44 samples from a population of 158, divided into two groups of 22 respondents each for the citrus fruit and dragon fruit interventions. The analysis results showed an increase in hemoglobin levels in both groups, with a median value of 10.750-11.750 for the citrus group and 10.070-11.150 for the dragon fruit group. The Mann Whitney test produced a p-value of 0.019 (<0.05), indicating that the combination of citrus fruit and iron tablets was more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia than the combination of dragon fruit and iron tablets at the Mandor Community Health Center.]]>

<![CDATA[Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are newborns weighing less than 2,500 grams. Infants aged one month or younger, especially those with LBW, face high health risks that can be fatal without proper care. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a method of caring for low birth weight or premature infants through direct skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the baby, which has been proven to facilitate breastfeeding and improve infant outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the KMC method on weight gain among low birth weight infants at Dr. Soedarso Regional General Hospital, Pontianak, West Kalimantan. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach was used, involving 40 mothers as respondents. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed that KMC performed for four hours resulted in a mean weight gain difference of 471.5 grams, with a statistically significant effect (F = 10.476; p = 0.000). It can be concluded that the Kangaroo Mother Care method is effective in increasing the body weight of low birth weight infants, with the four-hour duration providing the most optimal results.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescents often lack adequate knowledge about personal hygiene during menstruation, which can increase the risk of reproductive health problems. Effective educational strategies, such as the peer group method, are needed to improve adolescents’ understanding because information delivered by peers tends to be more easily accepted and understood. This study aimed to determine the differences in adolescents’ knowledge before and after receiving health education using the peer group method on personal hygiene during menstruation at SMP Negeri 21 Pontianak. This research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 34 respondents selected through probability sampling. Data were collected from March 26 to April 3, 2019, using a structured questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted to examine changes in knowledge levels. The results showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference in knowledge before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). The findings demonstrate that peer group–based health education is effective in increasing adolescents’ knowledge regarding menstrual personal hygiene. Therefore, the peer group method can be considered a beneficial approach for reproductive health education among young women at SMP Negeri 21 Pontianak.]]>

<![CDATA[Pregnancy is a much-anticipated period for every married couple. The health of the mother during pregnancy is very important because there is a fetus that is growing and developing, and it is hoped that the baby will be born healthy and become a quality future generation. Based on the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia in 2018 increased by 48.9% from 37.1% in 2013. Iron supplementation (TTD) was provided to 73.2% of pregnant women, with 24% receiving 90 tablets or more and 76% receiving less than 90 tablets. The government has implemented an IFT program, but the prevalence of anemia remains high. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in hemoglobin (Hb) levels in pregnant women with anemia before and after receiving iron tablets and dragon fruit in the working area of the Wajok Hulu Community Health Center. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a non-equivalent control group or non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The study population consisted of pregnant women with anemia who were registered in the Wajok Hulu Community Health Center area from January to May 2019. The sampling technique used total sampling, with a sample size of 16 people. The statistical test used was the paired t-test, and the normality test used was the Shapiro-Wilk test. The results of the study showed that there was no difference in the effect of administering iron tablets and dragon fruit, and only iron tablets based on changes in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the working area of the Wajok Hulu Community Health Center in 2019 with a p-value of 0.766 and a difference value of 0.09.]]>

<![CDATA[Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual pain condition that can interfere with women's daily activities and overall quality of life. Women of reproductive age frequently experience dysmenorrhea, which may cause them to take breaks from work, school, or routine tasks for several hours or even several days. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1,769,425 women (90%) experience dysmenorrhea, and 10%–15% of them report severe symptoms. These severe cases lead to functional limitations, with around 15% of adolescent girls reporting restricted activities due to dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to determine the effect of dysmenorrhea on the learning process of adolescent girls. The research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data were collected through direct observation using standardized observation sheets. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate procedures, and the Chi-Square test was used to assess the relationship between dysmenorrhea and learning-related outcomes. The results showed a significant association between dysmenorrhea and the learning process of adolescent girls (p = 0.001), indicating that dysmenorrhea adversely affects students’ ability to focus, participate, and perform optimally in the classroom at SMP Negeri 21 Pontianak.]]>
