Abstract

Mental readiness is an important factor influencing the psychological state of pregnant women before delivery. In primigravida mothers, lack of experience and knowledge about the labor process often triggers increased anxiety. Anxiety in the period before delivery can impact the smoothness of the labor process, the mother's ability to adapt, and the well-being of the fetus. This study aims to determine the relationship between the mental readiness of primigravida pregnant women and the level of anxiety before delivery in the work area of ​​the Ambacang Padang Community Health Center. The study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 40 primigravida pregnant women were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were a mental readiness questionnaire and an anxiety level questionnaire. Data analysis was performed univariately to describe the characteristics of the respondents and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 26 respondents (65%) had low mental readiness and 14 respondents (35%) had high mental readiness. The anxiety levels consisted of low (15%), moderate (45%), and high (40%). The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between mental readiness and anxiety levels (p < 0.05). Mothers with low mental preparedness are more likely to experience moderate to high levels of anxiety. This finding underscores the importance of midwives' role in providing antenatal education, childbirth preparation counseling, and psychological support to improve mental preparedness and reduce anxiety.

Abstract

Poor sleep quality is common among pregnant women, particularly in the third trimester, and may negatively affect maternal and fetal health. An initial survey conducted at the Ambacang Health Center revealed that 65% of pregnant women experienced sleep disturbances. This study aimed to examine the effect of structured physical exercise on sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 20 third trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling in the working area of the Ambacang Health Center. The intervention consisted of structured physical exercise performed for three weeks, with a frequency of three sessions per week. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in sleep quality following the structured physical exercise intervention (p < 0.05). Most participants also reported feeling more refreshed and energized after participating in the exercise program. These findings indicate that structured physical exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep quality and reduce sleep disturbances in third trimester pregnant women. Therefore, structured physical exercise should be considered as part of routine prenatal care programs to enhance maternal well-being during pregnancy.

Abstract

Weight gain during pregnancy is an important indicator that influences maternal and fetal health. Excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) has been associated with an increased risk of obstetric complications, including preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between excessive weight gain during pregnancy and the incidence of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women in the third trimester at Dr. H. Koesnadi Bondowoso General Hospital. This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 140 pregnant women selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were obtained through structured interviews, anthropometric measurements, and medical records, then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between excessive weight gain and the incidence of preeclampsia (p = 0.012) and gestational diabetes (p = 0.004). Women who exceeded the recommended weight gain limits were at a higher risk of developing these complications compared to those with normal weight gain. These findings emphasize the importance of controlling weight gain through routine monitoring and nutritional education during pregnancy. In conclusion, excessive weight gain is an important risk factor that needs attention in antenatal care services to prevent serious complications in pregnant women.

Abstract

Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are essential for monitoring maternal and fetal health and detecting pregnancy complications early. However, ANC completion rates are influenced by various factors. This study examines the associations between maternal knowledge, husband's support, and healthcare worker roles with ANC visit completion at Kayu Laut Community Health Center, Mandailing Natal Regency. Using a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design, 67 pregnant women were recruited through accidental sampling. Data were collected via validated questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square tests.  Results showed significant associations between ANC completion and maternal knowledge, husband's support, and healthcare worker roles. Women with adequate knowledge, strong spousal support, and positive perceptions of healthcare workers demonstrated higher ANC completion rates.The findings emphasize the importance of educational interventions, family involvement, and improved healthcare service quality to enhance ANC adherence. Collaborative efforts among healthcare workers, husbands, and pregnant women are critical for optimizing maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Abstract

Timely, adequate, and quality complementary feeding (MPASI) is important to support infant growth and development. However, limited maternal knowledge and insufficient education from health workers, especially midwives, often lead to inappropriate feeding practices. Therefore, educational interventions are needed to improve maternal understanding and compliance with complementary feeding recommendations. This study aimed to determine the effect of midwife-led education on maternal compliance in providing complementary feeding containing prebiotics. This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. The research was conducted in the working area of the Mining Health Center, Kampar Regency, Riau Province. A total of 60 mothers with infants aged 6–12 months were selected using purposive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups, each consisting of 30 participants. The intervention included counseling sessions, leaflets, and interactive discussions about prebiotic-containing complementary feeding. Data were collected using a validated compliance questionnaire. The results showed that before the intervention, most mothers in the intervention group had low compliance (66.7%). After the intervention, high compliance increased to 73.3%, while the control group showed lower compliance (36.7%). Chi-square analysis showed a significant effect of midwife education on maternal compliance (p=0.002). These findings indicate that midwife-led education effectively improves maternal compliance in providing appropriate complementary feeding containing prebiotics.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is essential for supporting optimal infant growth and development, as breast milk provides complete nutrients and enhances the immune system. However, many postpartum mothers experience difficulties in breast milk production due to physical and psychological factors. Oxytocin stimulation through massage is considered a potential method to improve milk flow. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of oxytocin massage on milk production among postpartum mothers in the working area of Andalas Padang Health Center. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a pretest–posttest experimental design. The research was conducted in the working area of Andalas Padang Health Center with a sample of 30 postpartum mothers selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews and observations, and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with a paired t-test to assess differences before and after the intervention. Results: The findings showed that 90% of respondents experienced improved milk production after receiving oxytocin massage. The t-test results indicated a significant difference in milk production before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Oxytocin massage is effective in improving milk production in postpartum mothers and can support the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
