Abstract

Background: Sleep disturbances are common among women in the third trimester of pregnancy due to physiological, hormonal, and anatomical changes that may negatively affect maternal and fetal well-being. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as pregnancy exercise, are increasingly recommended to improve sleep quality safely during pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of pregnancy exercise on sleep quality among pregnant women in the third trimester in the working area of Siotapina Public Health Center, Buton Regency. Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted. A total of 44 third-trimester pregnant women were selected using purposive sampling. Sleep quality was measured using a structured sleep quality questionnaire before and after the pregnancy exercise intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to determine differences in sleep quality before and after the intervention. Results: Prior to the intervention, 63.6% of participants experienced poor sleep quality, while 36.4% reported good sleep quality. After participating in pregnancy exercise, the proportion of participants with good sleep quality increased to 68.2%, while those with poor sleep quality decreased to 31.8%. Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in sleep quality following the intervention (Z = −3.742; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Pregnancy exercise is effective in improving sleep quality among pregnant women in the third trimester. The intervention helps reduce sleep disturbances by promoting relaxation and alleviating physical discomfort associated with late pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in urban communities with limited resources and suboptimal breastfeeding support. Health cadres play a strategic role in maternal and child health programs; however, their effectiveness can be enhanced through innovative approaches that actively involve community members, including the elderly, as breastfeeding support agents. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a health cadre training program that empowered elderly groups as breastfeeding support agents in preventing stunting. Methods: A Participatory Action Research (PAR) design was employed involving 47 participants, consisting of health cadres and elderly community members. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on their active involvement in maternal and child health activities. The intervention comprised structured training sessions covering exclusive breastfeeding, balanced nutrition, breastfeeding techniques, breast care, and child growth monitoring. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, observations, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge following the intervention. The mean pre-test score was 77.56 (SD = 8.46), which increased to 84.65 (SD = 8.46) in the post-test assessment. The training also strengthened collaboration between health cadres and elderly participants, enhanced community engagement in breastfeeding support activities, and increased participation in child growth monitoring. Conclusion: Empowering health cadres through elderly-supported breastfeeding training effectively improved knowledge and community involvement in stunting prevention. Integrating elderly groups into community-based breastfeeding support initiatives represents a promising and sustainable strategy to strengthen maternal and child health programs and reduce the risk of stunting.

Abstract

Background: Access to mental health services remains a critical public health issue, especially among young adults in urbanizing regions. Structural barriers and sociocultural stigma often hinder timely and appropriate mental health care. This study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators that influence access to mental health services among young adults with mental health conditions. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was employed. Sixty participants aged 18–32 years, diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, were purposively recruited. Data were collected via WhatsApp chat interviews and Google Forms between September and December 2024. Thematic analysis was used to identify emerging patterns in participants’ experiences. Results: Three major barriers to accessing mental health services were identified: stigma and social silence, limited availability of mental health professionals, and financial constraints. Conversely, three key facilitators emerged: supportive relationships, digital peer communities, and self-awareness. Participants highlighted the role of personal motivation and online networks in bridging formal care gaps, while systemic limitations remained prevalent in local service infrastructure. Findings reveal the dual nature of access to mental health services—where institutional barriers coexist with emerging forms of psychosocial resilience. Conclusion: Strengthening local mental health systems, improving service literacy, and expanding community-based and digital interventions are crucial steps to address mental health disparities among urban youth.

Abstract

Background: Medicinal plants have long played an essential role in primary health care, especially in rural areas where access to biomedical services is limited. In many families, their use is deeply rooted in cultural traditions and intergenerational practices. Understanding how rural housewives perceive and experience medicinal plant use is vital to preserving ethnomedicinal knowledge and strengthening culturally grounded health strategies. This study aimed to explore the meaning of family medicinal plants for family health from the lived experiences of rural housewives. Methods: A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted with 12 rural housewives who were primary caregivers in their households and had regular experience using medicinal plants. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling and interviewed using in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method to identify significant statements, formulate meanings, cluster themes, and construct the essential structure of the phenomenon. Results: Four major themes emerged: (1) medicinal plants as a family health heritage—participants described intergenerational transmission of knowledge as a symbol of family care; (2) empowerment and self-reliance in health care—participants expressed confidence and autonomy in treating common illnesses while reducing economic burden; (3) cultural and spiritual meaning of plant use—participants viewed plants as sacred gifts, integrating prayers and rituals into their preparation; and (4) challenges and adaptations in preserving knowledge—participants highlighted the decline of interest among younger generations while adapting by blending traditional and modern remedies. Conclusion: Family medicinal plants hold profound cultural, emotional, and practical significance in maintaining family health among rural housewives. They embody cultural heritage, empowerment, spirituality, and resilience, yet face threats of knowledge erosion.

Abstract

Background: Internet addiction has emerged as a growing behavioral concern among adolescents, often associated with emotional dysregulation and psychological distress. Adolescents are in a critical developmental stage marked by emotional instability and heightened engagement with digital technologies, making them particularly vulnerable to compulsive internet use. Difficulties in emotion regulation are thought to play a central role in reinforcing maladaptive online behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and emotion regulation difficulties among adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 312 adolescents aged 15–18 years from several secondary schools. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale–16 (DERS-16). Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression were performed to analyze the data. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained before data collection. Results: The mean IAS score was 74.6 (SD = 15.2) and the mean DERS-16 score was 46.8 (SD = 11.7), indicating moderate levels of internet addiction and emotion regulation difficulties. Males reported significantly higher internet addiction scores than females (p < 0.01), while no gender differences were found in emotion regulation scores. Pearson analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between IAS and DERS-16 scores (r = 0.56, p < 0.001). The strongest correlations were found in impulse control difficulties (r = 0.62) and limited access to emotion regulation strategies (r = 0.58). Regression analysis showed that emotion regulation difficulties significantly predicted internet addiction (β = 0.55, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Adolescents with greater difficulties in emotion regulation are more likely to experience higher levels of internet addiction. Impulse control problems and limited emotion regulation strategies appear to be the strongest emotional risk factors for compulsive internet use. These findings highlight the need to view internet addiction not only as a behavioral issue but also as an emotional regulation problem.
