Abstract

The choice of contraceptive methods among couples of childbearing age is a key determinant of the success of family planning programs. Decisions regarding contraceptive use are influenced by multiple interrelated factors, including education level, knowledge, attitudes, communication between partners, access to and quality of health services, and support from health workers. Understanding these factors is essential for improving reproductive health outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing contraceptive method selection among couples of childbearing age through a comprehensive literature review of national and international studies. Articles were identified from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Taylor & Francis databases based on relevance, accessibility, and recent publication. The review findings indicate that education level, partner communication, and health worker support are the most influential factors in contraceptive choice. Women with higher educational backgrounds tend to have better knowledge of contraceptive benefits and risks, leading to greater use of effective modern methods. Open and effective communication between partners increases agreement and readiness in selecting appropriate contraceptive methods. In addition, counseling, education, and guidance provided by health workers play a crucial role in improving awareness and appropriate contraceptive use. Social, economic, and cultural factors also indirectly influence contraceptive decision-making.

Abstract

Adolescence is an important period in the development of reproductive health, particularly for adolescent girls who have experienced menstruation, as inadequate personal hygiene in the genital area can increase the risk of pruritus vulvae, which is characterized by itching and discomfort. This study aimed to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and the incidence of pruritus vulvae among adolescent girls in the working area of Mijen Public Health Center, Semarang City. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design involving 109 adolescent girls who had experienced menstruation and were unmarried, selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using personal hygiene and pruritus vulvae questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had good personal hygiene (74.3%) and the majority did not experience pruritus vulvae (53.2%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant and strong relationship between personal hygiene and pruritus vulvae (p = 0.000; r = -0.502), indicating that better personal hygiene is associated with a lower incidence of pruritus vulvae. In conclusion, personal hygiene is significantly associated with the occurrence of pruritus vulvae among adolescent girls in the working area of Mijen Public Health Center, Semarang City.

Abstract

Background: Bonding and attachment are important aspects of emotional development. The quality of emotional relationships formed through warm and responsive interactions plays a significant role in shaping an individual’s ability to recognize, manage, and express emotions appropriately. However, variations in the quality of bonding and attachment may influence the level of emotional intelligence. Methods: This study employed a quantitative research design with a correlational approach and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 50 respondents selected according to the research criteria. Data were collected using questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included validity testing, reliability testing, normality testing, and correlation testing. Since the data were not normally distributed, the relationship between variables was analyzed using the Spearman’s Rho correlation test. Results: The results showed a positive and significant relationship between bonding and emotional intelligence, with a correlation coefficient of 0.453 and a significance value of 0.001. Attachment also demonstrated a positive and significant relationship with emotional intelligence, with a correlation coefficient of 0.479 and a significance value of 0.000. Both relationships were categorized as moderate correlations. Conclusion: Bonding and attachment have a positive and significant relationship with emotional intelligence.

Abstract

Background: Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are a group of neonates vulnerable to health problems due to immaturity of their organ systems, one of which is sleep quality disturbances. Suboptimal sleep quality can increase physiological stress, inhibit growth, and affect infant development. This condition is often exacerbated by the noisy and brightly lit environment of the perinatology ward or NICU. Nesting therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that can provide comfort by mimicking the intrauterine position, but its implementation at Bendan Regional Hospital, Pekalongan City, has not been routinely and standardized. Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a pre-experimental approach. The population and sample were all LBW infants treated in the perinatology ward, using a total sampling technique according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using sleep quality observation sheets before and after nesting therapy, then analyzed using statistical tests. Results: The results showed an improvement in sleep quality in LBW infants after nesting therapy. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that nesting therapy significantly affected the sleep quality of LBW infants. Conclusion: Nesting therapy significantly improves the sleep quality of LBW infants.

Abstract

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG) is a condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy that can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and significant weight loss. Maternal age and parity status are suspected to play a role in increasing the risk of HEG. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal age and parity status and the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum at RSIA Permata Hati Kudus during the 2021–2025 period. This research was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data obtained from medical records. The sample consisted of 227 pregnant women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The independent variables were maternal age (at risk: <20 years or >35 years; not at risk: 20–35 years) and parity (primiparous and multiparous), while the dependent variable was the incidence of HEG. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of HEG (p=0.000; OR=10.452), indicating that mothers in the at-risk age group were more likely to experience HEG compared to those in the non-risk age group. In addition, there was a significant relationship between parity and the incidence of HEG (p=0.000; OR=15.66), with primiparous mothers being at higher risk of experiencing HEG compared to multiparous mothers.
