Abstract

Many first-time mothers (primiparous women) experience difficulties in breastfeeding due to a lack of knowledge about proper breastfeeding techniques. This can lead to issues such as sore nipples, pain, and even breast engorgement, which may discourage some mothers from continuing to breastfeed. In fact, with appropriate education, these problems can be minimized. One method considered effective is the use of audiovisual media, as it is easier to understand and remember. This study aimed to determine the difference in breastfeeding techniques among primiparous mothers before and after receiving education on correct breastfeeding techniques through audiovisual media at Puskesmas Pakusari. The study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of all breastfeeding primiparous mothers at Puskesmas Pakusari. Total sampling technique was applied, with a sample size of 30 respondents. Data were collected using the LATCH scoring system and analyzed statistically using the wilcoxon. The results showed that before the education, most respondents (90.0%) had breastfeeding techniques in the "fair" category, with only 10.0% in the "good" category. After the education, there was a significant improvement, with the majority of mothers (76.7%) categorized as "good" and only 23.3% remaining in the "fair" category. Based on the statistical test results, a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 (p<α) was obtained, indicating that H1 was accepted, which means there was a significant difference in the breastfeeding techniques of primiparous mothers before and after receiving education on correct breastfeeding techniques through audiovisual media at Puskesmas Pakusari. It is recommended that primiparous mothers seek information about proper breastfeeding techniques, particularly through audiovisual media, to support the success of breastfeeding

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of an infant's life. Breast milk production is influenced by various factors, including psychological conditions such as stress. Stress can inhibit the function of oxytocin and prolactin, hormones that play an important role in breast milk production. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between stress and breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers in the Kalisat Community Health Center area.This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population for this study was 21 breastfeeding mothers from postpartum days 14-30, and a sample of 14 people was obtained. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The research instruments were the PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) questionnaire to measure stress and a breast milk production questionnaire to assess breast milk production. Data analysis used bivariate and univariate analysis with a non-parametric test using the Spearman rank test.The results showed that respondents experienced mild stress (64.3%) and moderate stress (35.7%). Regarding breast milk production, half of the respondents had good breast milk production, sufficient breast milk production (42.9%), and low breast milk production (7.1%). The results of the non-parametric Spearman rank test showed a p-value of 0.013 (<α 0.05), so it can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, which indicates a relationship between stress and breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers in the Kalisat Community Health Center area.Breastfeeding mothers are expected to maintain positive emotions and thoughts. Stress can inhibit breast milk production, while calmness and positive thoughts will help breast milk hormones work optimally, allowing breast milk to flow more smoothly.

Abstract

ABSTARCT Duration of DMPA Use in WUS > 2 years can interfere with sexual function. DMPA can disrupt the body's natural hormonal balance, including decreased estrogen levels that can cause decreased libido and decreased sexual desire. From the results of a preliminary study using a questionnaire to 10 DMPA acceptors who included WUS (aged 20-35 years) at TPMB "R", data was obtained that 60% of acceptors experienced sexual dysfunction after using DMPA > 2 years and 40% of DMPA acceptors did not experience sexual dysfunction after using DMPA ≤ 2 years.Sexual dysfunction can also affect household harmony. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration of DMPA use and sexual function in women of childbearing age at TPMB "R". The design of this study is correlational with a Cross Sectional approach. The study population was all WUS DMPA acceptors totaling 60 people, a sample of 52 respondents, obtained using the Simple Random Sampling technique. Data collection using the FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) questionnaire and data analysis using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that most respondents had used DMPA for > 2 years, namely 38 respondents (73.1%), almost all respondents experienced sexual dysfunction as much asas many as 42 people (80.8%), and the Chi-Suqare test obtained p (0.000) < α (0.05) meaning H0 is rejected, the contingency coefficient value of 0.570 means a moderate relationship, and the Goodman and Kruskal Tau value of 0.481 means there is a very significant relationship. It can be concluded that there is a moderate and very significant relationship between the duration of DMPA use and the sexual function of WUS in TPMB "R". It is recommended for DMPA acceptors if they have used it for > 2 years to replace it with another contraceptive.

Abstract

Picky eating is common amongst pre-school children. This behaviour results in children consuming a limited variety of foods. Preliminary data from a study of 10 pre-school children at the Nurul Amien Early Childhood Education Centre (PAUD) indicated that 60 per cent of the children were picky eaters. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of the relationship between parenting styles and picky eating behaviour amongst pre-school children at the Nurul Amien Early Childhood Education Centre (PAUD) in Jember. The method employed an observational correlational analysis using a cross-sectional approach. The study population comprised 52 children aged 3–5 years at the Nurul Amien Early Childhood Education Centre in Jember. Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling, yielding a sample size of 46 respondents. The instruments used were a parental parenting style questionnaire and a picky eating behaviour questionnaire. Univariate data analysis utilised frequency distributions, whilst bivariate analysis employed the chi-square test and the contingency coefficient. The results indicated that the majority (54.3%) of parents practised a democratic parenting style and the majority (54.3%) of children did not exhibit picky eating behaviour. From the chi-square analysis, a p-value of 0.000 was obtained, which is less than α (0.05); therefore, H₀ was rejected. The contingency coefficient was 0.595, indicating a moderate association. In conclusion, there is a moderate association between parenting styles and picky eating behaviour in pre-school children.

Abstract

Depo Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) is a long-acting hormonal contraceptive method known for its effectiveness and practicality. However, its prolonged use is often associated with side effects, one of the most common being weight gain. This study aims to describe the midwifery care provided to a DMPA acceptor who experienced weight gain at the Independent Midwifery Practice (PMB) of Arini Agustiningrum, located in Bator Village, Klampis District, Bangkalan Regency. This research employed a descriptive design with a case study approach. The subject was a DMPA user who had been on the contraceptive for three years. During this period, her body weight increased from 90,00 kg to 99,40 kg (a gain of 9,40 kg), with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 38,82 kg/m², indicating grade II obesity. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, documentation review, and routine weight monitoring conducted over three visits between March and May 2025. The interventions included education on balanced nutrition, dietary regulation, distribution of a diet menu leaflet, increased physical activity, and regular weight tracking. Results showed a reduction in body weight from 99,40 kg to 97,00 kg within one month. Prior to the implementation of the case study, the researcher provided detailed information regarding the study’s purpose, benefits, procedures, and participants’ rights. The subject gave written consent by signing an informed consent form, in accordance with ethical research standards. The findings indicate that educational interventions and lifestyle modifications can gradually reduce body weight in DMPA users. Therefore, regular monitoring and nutritional counseling should be integrated into midwifery care to effectively address the side effects of hormonal contraceptive use.
