Abstract

Antibiotik $\beta$-laktam banyak digunakan dalam terapi infeksi bakteri, namun produksi kimiawinya menghasilkan limbah tinggi dan menggunakan bahan berbahaya. Penicillin G acylase (PGA) menjadi biokatalis kunci untuk hidrolisis penisilin G menjadi asam 6-aminopenisilanat (6-APA) serta sintesis antibiotik semisintetik seperti ampisilin dan amoksisilin. Kajian literatur ilmiah 2015–2025 ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik, mekanisme katalitik, dan strategi peningkatan kinerja PGA dalam sintesis enzimatis antibiotik $\beta$-laktam. Hasil studi menunjukkan kinerja PGA dapat ditingkatkan melalui rekayasa protein, evolusi terarah, imobilisasi enzim, rekayasa media reaksi dengan kosolven organik, serta integrasi kristalisasi reaktif secara in situ. Selain PGA, $\alpha$-amino ester hydrolase (AEH) berpotensi sebagai biokatalis alternatif, khususnya pada sintesis sefaleksin. Pengembangan PGA yang efisien dan stabil mendukung produksi antibiotik $\beta$-laktam yang berkelanjutan, ramah lingkungan, serta mengurangi ketergantungan bahan baku obat impor.

Abstract

Infancy is a critical period for growth and development, and appropriate stimulation should be provided from an early age. One form of stimulation that parents can provide is infant massage. However, some mothers still lack the necessary skills to perform infant massage using the correct techniques, due to limited information, experience, and opportunities for practice. Infant massage classes that combine instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on practice are expected to improve mothers’ skills. This study aims to analyze the effect of baby massage classes on mothers’ skills in performing baby massage at the Sumartini Purwakarta Maternal and Child Health Center (TPMB) in 2026, as well as to analyze the effects of age, occupation, and education on these skills. The study employs a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The sample consisted of 32 mothers selected using total sampling. Skills were measured before and after the intervention using an observation sheet based on the baby massage standard operating procedure (SOP). Analyses were conducted using univariate and bivariate methods. The Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the data were not normally distributed; therefore, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used with α = 0.05. Before the intervention, 24 respondents (75.0%) were in the unskilled category, 5 respondents (15.6%) were moderately skilled, and 3 respondents (9.4%) were skilled. After the intervention, 27 respondents (84.4%) were in the “skilled” category, 4 respondents (12.5%) were “moderately skilled,” and 1 respondent (3.1%) was “unskilled.” The mean skill score changed from 2.69 (SD 0.644) to 1.06 (SD 0.246). The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The variables of occupation (p = 0.373), age (p = 0.306), and education (p = 0.138) did not show a significant effect. The study’s conclusion indicates that baby massage classes have a significant effect on improving mothers’ skills in performing baby massage. Learning accompanied by demonstrations and practice can serve as an alternative to help mothers perform baby massage correctly.

Abstract

Striae gravidarum is a skin condition experienced by the majority of pregnant women, with a global prevalence of 50–70% (WHO, 2024), 70–95% in Indonesia (2025), and a preliminary survey at TPMB Sumartini Purwakarta (2026) identifying approximately 40 cases. This condition affects mothers physically, psychologically, functionally, and in terms of quality of life. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), rich in lauric acid, and olive oil, containing oleic acid and antioxidants, are believed to help maintain skin elasticity. This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design with 36 respondents (18 receiving VCO, 18 receiving olive oil). The severity of striae was measured using the Davey Score, and the data were analyzed using the Paired Samples T-Test and Independent Samples T-Test. The results showed a significant decrease in scores in both groups (p = 0.000). The mean score reduction in the VCO group was 2.00, while in the olive oil group it was 1.33. The Independent Samples T-Test showed a significant difference (p < 0.05), with VCO proving more effective. VCO was shown to be more effective than olive oil in reducing the severity of striae gravidarum; therefore, its routine use from the second trimester onward is recommended as a preventive measure to maintain skin elasticity, minimize the risk of striae, and improve the comfort and confidence of pregnant women.

Abstract

Back pain is a common problem experienced by pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester, due to natural bodily changes, weight gain, changes in balance, and stretching of muscles and ligaments. Endorphin massage is a non-pharmacological method that may help reduce this pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of endorphin massage on reducing back pain intensity among third-trimester pregnant women at TPMB Luli Bahari, Purwakarta, in 2026. A quantitative method with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. The study was conducted from January 15 to February 17, 2026, involving 30 third-trimester pregnant women. Back pain intensity was measured before and after endorphin massage. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test applied because the data were not normally distributed. Before the intervention, most respondents experienced moderate pain (22 respondents; 73.3%), while 5 respondents (16.7%) experienced mild pain and 3 respondents (10.0%) experienced severe pain. After the intervention, 25 pregnant women (83.3%) experienced mild pain, while 5 (16.7%) reported no pain. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of endorphin massage on reducing back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. Endorphin massage can therefore be considered a non-pharmacological approach to help alleviate back pain during pregnancy.

Abstract

The 1- to 6 month age period is a phase of rapid growth for infants, making it necessary to monitor their weight changes regularly. Weight can serve as one parameter for assessing an infant’s growth and overall condition. Weight gain does not always proceed optimally for every infant, so stimulation is needed to support the growth process. One form of stimulation that can be applied to infants is baby massage. Massage through touch can help create a comfortable environment while supporting physiological processes related to the infant’s digestion and growth. This study aims “to determine the effect of baby massage on weight gain in infants aged 1-6 months at the Sumartini Midwife’s TPMB in 2026.” This is a quantitative study using a pre-experimental design that implements a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 32 infants aged 1-6 months selected through purposive sampling. Weight measurements were taken before and after baby massage sessions lasting 10-15 minutes, conducted twice a week. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings confirmed that before the baby massage, 21 infants (65.6%) were in the underweight category and 11 infants (34.4%) were in the normal category. After the baby massage, 31 infants (96.9%) were in the normal weight category and 1 infant (3.1%) was in the underweight category. The average weight increased from 5,018 grams before the intervention to 5,618 grams after the intervention, with an average increase of 600 grams. The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant effect of baby massage on infants’ weight gain (p < 0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that “baby massage has an effect on weight gain in infants aged 1-6 months at the Sumartini Midwife’s TPMB

Abstract

Sleep quality is an important factor that affects infant growth and development. Sleep disturbances are common among infants and may negatively affect physical growth and neurological development. Baby massage and baby gym are non-pharmacological stimulation methods believed to improve infant sleep quality; however, evidence comparing their effectiveness remains limited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of baby massage and baby gym in improving the sleep quality of infants aged 3–6 months at Ravina Medika Clinic in 2026. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest two-group design was employed.The study was conducted at Ravina Medika Clinic, Purwakarta, from January to February 2026. A total of 40 infants aged 3–6 months were selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: the baby massage group (n=20) and the baby gym group (n=20). Sleep quality was assessed using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, namely the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test, with a significance level of α=0.05.Before the intervention, the majority of infants had poor sleep quality, accounting for 70.0% in the baby massage group and 50.0% in the baby gym group. After the intervention, sleep quality improved in both groups. The Wilcoxon test showed that both baby massage and baby gym significantly improved infant sleep quality (p<0.05). The Mann–Whitney test demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.000; p<0.05). The baby massage group had a higher mean rank than the baby gym group; therefore, baby massage was considered more effective in improving the sleep quality of infants aged 3–6 months.

Abstract

BCG immunization is one of the essential basic immunizations that provides protection against severe forms of tuberculosis in children. Mothers’ willingness to provide BCG immunization is an important aspect in achieving optimal immunization coverage. This study aimed to analyze the determinants associated with mothers’ willingness to provide BCG immunization in the working area of Paya Bakong Public Health Center. This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in December 2025 and involved 195 mothers with infants aged 0–11 months. Participants were selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. The results showed that 150 respondents (76.9%) were willing to provide BCG immunization, while 45 respondents (23.1%) were unwilling. Bivariate analysis showed that knowledge (p=0.000) and attitude (p=0.000) were significantly associated with willingness to provide BCG immunization, whereas barriers were not significantly associated (p=0.171). In the multivariate analysis, knowledge (p=0.001) and attitude (p=0.002) remained significantly associated with willingness to provide BCG immunization, while barriers were not significant (p=0.718). The regression model explained 29.2% of the variation in willingness to provide BCG immunization. In conclusion, knowledge and attitudes were significantly associated with mothers’ willingness to provide BCG immunization. Therefore, strengthening health education and communication regarding the benefits and importance of BCG immunization is necessary to increase mothers’ willingness to immunize their children.
