Abstract

Neonatal mortality is a sensitive indicator of health system readiness in handling emergency obstetric and neonatal cases. Although Tabanan Regency reports high coverage of skilled birth attendance (>95%) and postnatal visits (KN1 and KN3 >99%), preventable neonatal deaths persist annually.This study aimed to analyze neonatal mortality trends in Tabanan Regency from 2019 to 2023 and examine their association with the readiness of Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Services (PONED). A descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from district and provincial health profiles (2019–2023) was applied. Key indicators included neonatal mortality rate (NMR), causes of death, and service readiness components. Data were analyzed through trend visualization and determinant mapping.The NMR peaked at 9.0 per 1,000 live births in 2022 and declined to 7.2 in 2023. Leading causes included prematurity/low birth weight (28.2%), asphyxia (18.4%), and infection (14.6%). Despite service coverage being consistently high, findings indicate persistent gaps in readiness particularly in emergency referrals, skilled provider availability, and resuscitation facilities. Neonatal mortality trends in Tabanan reflect underlying limitations in emergency obstetric preparedness. Strengthening PONED readiness through clinical skill development, equipment availability, and efficient referrals is crucial to reducing neonatal deaths. NMR should be considered a proxy indicator of obstetric emergency readiness in decentralized health systems.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is an important indicator of newborn health and the quality of maternal care. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal age, parity, and gestational age with the incidence of LBW in Padang City. This study used a case-control design with a sample of 110 mothers from September to June 2022 at Adnan WD Regional General Hospital divided into case (LBW) and control (non-LBW) groups. Data were collected secondary from medical records and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The research findings indicate that maternal age <20 years and >35 years, as well as high parity (≥4 times), are associated with a higher likelihood of LBW, although this association is not statistically significant (p>0.05). Premature gestational age also shows a tendency toward LBW, but this is not significant (p=0.061). The researcher's observations indicate that maternal age, parity, and gestational age are influenced by health conditions and access to prenatal services, while maternal nutritional status plays a significant role in fetal growth. Researchers concluded that comprehensive health interventions, including nutritional education and optimal prenatal monitoring, are needed to reduce the incidence of LBW.

Abstract

Domestic violence (DV) in Indonesia is rising, with over 400,000 cases reported in 2022, driven by increased public awareness post the Domestic Violence Elimination Act, yet communities often limit it to physical abuse, ignoring psychological and reproductive health effects. This study explores lived experiences of DV among women in Solok City and its impacts on their psychological and reproductive health. A qualitative phenomenological approach involved eight women recruited via snowball sampling, with data from 45–60-minute in-depth interviews and documentation, ensuring trustworthiness through prolonged engagement and triangulation. All participants (100%) faced multiple violence forms: six physical, seven psychological, and five forced sexual activity. Psychological effects included chronic stress (7/8), sleep disturbances (5/8), shame (6/8), and depressive symptoms (5/8). Reproductive issues affected five with menstrual irregularities, four with recurrent vaginal infections/discharge, and three with reduced libido, linked to prolonged violence, financial stress, and overwork causing hormonal disruptions. DV profoundly impairs women's psychological and reproductive health in Solok City, underscoring needs for heightened community education, expanded support services, accessible reporting, and empowering women to reject violence and seek help.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) represents a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Factors related to maternal health, including gestational weight gain and nutritional condition, significantly influence fetal development and birth outcomes. This research examines the association between maternal weight gain, nutritional status, and LBW occurrence in mothers. Conducted as an analytical observational study with a case-control approach, it involved 56 participants: 28 mothers delivering LBW infants (case group) and 28 with normal-weight newborns (control group). Data were gathered from medical records and maternal health logs, then evaluated via Chi-Square testing at 95% confidence. Findings revealed a statistically significant link between maternal weight gain and LBW (p=0.016; OR=4.5), alongside maternal nutritional status and LBW (p=0.027; OR=4.231). These results emphasize the need for consistent antenatal monitoring of maternal weight and nutrition, coupled with sustained educational efforts, to reduce LBW prevalence.

Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency remains a significant public health issue impacting maternal and child health, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to examine factors influencing vitamin A capsule consumption among postpartum mothers at Lubuk Buaya Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Padang City. A cross-sectional analytical survey was conducted on 57 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire, and analyzed with chi-square tests at a 0.05 significance level. The study found that 56.1% of respondents did not consume vitamin A capsules. Education level and knowledge significantly influenced consumption behavior (education: p=0.000; knowledge: p=0.003), with mothers having higher education and better knowledge more likely to consume vitamin A. However, the role of health workers did not show a significant effect (p=0.855). These findings indicate that increasing education and improving health literacy should be prioritized in strategies to boost vitamin A consumption among postpartum mothers. Health interventions need to focus on nutrition education and active community involvement to ensure better health outcomes and meet national vitamin A supplementation goals.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a serious impact on children's growth and development. This study aims to determine the relationship between low birth weight (LBW) and basic immunization status with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Selayo Public Health, Solok Regency in 2019. The study used a case-control design with 58 respondents (29 stunted, 29 not stunted) selected by purposive sampling. Data were obtained through interviews and observations of KIA books, analyzed using the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed a significant relationship between LBW and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.047; OR = 3.9) and between incomplete basic immunization status and stunting (p = 0.029; OR = 4.1). It was concluded that LBW and basic immunization status play an important role in increasing the risk of stunting. The implications of this study encourage increased nutrition education for pregnant women and the implementation of complete basic immunization to reduce the prevalence of stunting.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress levels, sleep quality, and menstrual patterns in female Midwifery students at the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic. High academic stress in students often impacts their physical and mental health, including sleep quality and menstrual patterns. The study design used a correlational cross-sectional approach, involving 90 female students from the 2017-2019 intake who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure stress levels (Perceived Stress Scale), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and menstrual patterns. The results showed a significant relationship between stress levels and sleep quality (p = 0.007), with female students experiencing high stress tending to have poor sleep quality. However, no significant relationship was found between stress levels and menstrual patterns (p = 0.849), indicating that factors other than stress, such as diet and physical activity, may play a greater role in influencing menstrual patterns. This study recommends that educational institutions implement stress management programs to improve the quality of life and health of female students, especially in managing high academic stress.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that poses serious risks to both maternal and fetal health, characterized by a significant increase in blood pressure. In Indonesia, the prevalence of preeclampsia remains high, and delayed treatment can contribute to increased maternal and neonatal mortality. Unfortunately, many pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia do not receive optimal care, particularly in managing elevated blood pressure. Relaxation techniques and health education are considered effective non-pharmacological interventions to help reduce blood pressure and improve maternal health outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the effect of relaxation techniques and education on blood pressure reduction among pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia at RSIA Mutiara Bunda. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 15 pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia, selected through purposive sampling. The interventions included relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and guided visualization, as well as education on healthy lifestyle practices and stress management. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in blood pressure following the intervention, with p-values < 0.05. These findings indicate that relaxation techniques combined with education are effective in lowering blood pressure among pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia. In conclusion, the implementation of relaxation techniques and educational interventions is essential in supporting preeclampsia prevention and management efforts.
