Abstract

Latar Belakang : Pruritus vulvae merupakan keluhan rasa gatal pada area genital perempuan yang sering terjadi pada remaja putri, terutama saat menstruasi akibat kurang optimalnya personal hygiene dan rendahnya tingkat pengetahuan reproduksi. Berdasarkan studi pendahuluan di SMA Negeri 1 Darma terhadap 10 siswi, sebanyak 9 orang mengalami keluhan pruritus vulvae. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara personal hygiene, pengetahuan kesehatan reproduksi, dan keluhan pruritus vulvae pada remaha putri. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional yang dilaksanakan pada Kamis, 30 April 2026 di SMA Negeri 1 Darma. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 361 siswi dengan sampel sebanyak 186 responden yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner tertutup yang diadaptasi dari Sulaikha (2018). Data primer diperoleh melalui pengisian kuesioner secara mandiri oleh responden, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari data administrasi SMA Negeri 1 Darma. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman Rank. Hasil : Sebagian besar responden memiliki personal hygiene kategori cukup (81,7%), hampir seluruh responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan reproduksi kategori baik (95,2%), dan sebagian besar mengalami keluhan pruritus vulvae kategori berat (68,3%). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara personal hygiene dengan keluhan pruritus vulvae (p=0,017), sedangkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan reproduksi dengan keluhan pruritus vulvae (p=0,474). Simpulan : Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara personal hygiene dengan keluhan pruritus vulvae, namun tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan reproduksi dengan keluhan pruritus vulvae pada remaja putri di SMA Negeri 1 Darma 2026.

Abstract

Maternal mortality in Indonesia remains high, with rural and remote regions disproportionately affected due to systemic barriers in emergency care. Objectives: This study explores the experiences and challenges of midwives providing emergency maternal care in East Kalimantan, focusing on systemic barriers, clinical autonomy, and professional dedication. Methods: A qualitative exploratory design was employed, involving semi‑structured one‑on‑one interviews conducted online via Zoom with eight midwives working in geographically isolated areas. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, supported by NVivo coding. Results: Three overarching themes emerged: (1) systemic barriers and geographical isolation that delay referrals and emergency responses, (2) autonomous clinical decision‑making under resource constraints, and (3) the ethos of dedication and expanded professional roles beyond standard midwifery practice. Midwives reported reliance on poor transport routes, minimal equipment, and lack of supervision, often making rapid clinical decisions without institutional support. Despite these constraints, they demonstrated resilience and commitment, frequently assuming roles beyond maternal care, including general health services and community leadership. Conclusion: Midwives in rural East Kalimantan play a critical role in bridging systemic gaps in emergency maternal care. Their experiences highlight the urgent need for policy reforms to strengthen referral systems, improve emergency transport, expand continuing professional development, and ensure equitable distribution of doctors and specialists. Addressing these challenges is essential to reduce maternal mortality and achieve health equity in Indonesia’s rural communities.

Abstract

Introduction: Infant massage provides various benefits for infants, including supporting growth, improving sleep quality, and strengthening mother–infant bonding. Mothers’ knowledge may influence how regularly infant massage is practiced. Novelty: This study examines the relationship between mothers’ knowledge of infant massage benefits and the frequency of practice in Medan Sunggal. Its novelty lies in emphasizing the consistency of infant massage practice within a community setting, an aspect rarely addressed in studies. Methods: This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all mothers with infants in Medan Sunggal, totaling 94 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with 48 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that mothers with good knowledge who regularly performed infant massage were 4.2%, while those who did not perform it regularly were 4.2%. Mothers with sufficient knowledge who regularly performed infant massage were 22.9%, while those who did not perform it regularly were 27.1%. Meanwhile, mothers with poor knowledge who regularly performed infant massage were 4.2%, while those who did not perform it regularly were 37.5%. The statistical test showed an Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) value of 0.027 < 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between mothers’ knowledge of the benefits of infant massage and the frequency of infant massage practice. Conclusion and Suggestions: Mothers should improve their knowledge of infant massage, while health workers should provide regular education to support correct and consistent practice.

Abstract

Background: Emesis gravidarum commonly affects women during the first trimester and may impair nutritional status and quality of life. Ginger and lemon are widely used as complementary therapies, although comparative evidence remains limited. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of standardized ginger decoction and fresh lemon juice in reducing emesis gravidarum. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest two-group study was conducted among 30 first-trimester pregnant women at an independent midwifery practice in Medan, Indonesia. Participants received either ginger decoction (n = 15) or fresh lemon juice (n = 15) once daily for four consecutive days. Emesis severity was assessed using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE-24) questionnaire. Results: Both interventions significantly reduced PUQE scores (p < 0.001). The reduction was greater in the ginger group (5.60 points) than in the lemon group (3.87 points) (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Both therapies effectively reduced emesis gravidarum, with ginger decoction demonstrating superior clinical effectiveness and greater potential as a complementary therapy during early pregnancy.

Abstract

Stunting masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang berdampak terhadap pertumbuhan fisik, perkembangan kognitif, prestasi akademik, dan produktivitas pada masa dewasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensintesis bukti ilmiah mengenai peran kapasitas kognitif remaja sebelum menikah dalam pencegahan stunting. Penelitian ini merupakan systematic review yang disusun berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA 2020. Pencarian artikel dilakukan pada database PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, dan DOAJ untuk publikasi tahun 2021–2026. Sebanyak 11 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria dianalisis menggunakan sintesis naratif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas kognitif berperan penting dalam pencegahan stunting melalui empat aspek utama, yaitu pendidikan dan literasi kesehatan, pengetahuan gizi, kesiapan pranikah dan prakonsepsi, serta kemampuan pengambilan keputusan kesehatan. Berbagai intervensi, seperti pendidikan pranikah, edukasi gizi, dan kelas prakonsepsi, terbukti meningkatkan pengetahuan, self-efficacy, kesiapan reproduksi, serta perilaku hidup sehat. Selain itu, tingkat pendidikan dan literasi kesehatan yang lebih baik berhubungan dengan penurunan risiko pernikahan dini dan peningkatan status gizi. Kapasitas kognitif sebelum menikah merupakan faktor penting dalam pencegahan stunting. Penguatan pendidikan gizi, literasi kesehatan, kesehatan reproduksi, serta pendidikan pranikah perlu diintegrasikan dalam program pencegahan stunting untuk mempersiapkan calon orang tua yang sehat dan berkualitas.
