Abstract

Osteoporosis is a condition marked by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, increasing the risk of fractures. Isoflavones have been proposed as an alternative treatment to manage osteoporosis-related symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the isoflavones in improving bone health. A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, following PRISMA 2023 guidelines to identify relevant studies. Articles were selected based on their investigation of isoflavones' effects on osteoporosis. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model was performed, with outcomes reported as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Two studies (total participants = 251) met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that isoflavones had a positive effect on increasing bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, showing a mean difference of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.42 to 1.78; p = 0.78). However, the improvement was not statistically significant compared to the placebo group. In conclusion, while isoflavones appear to support BMD, they did not show a significant advantage over placebo. Nonetheless, they may still be considered a potential complementary therapy for managing osteoporosis symptoms, especially in postmenopausal women.

Abstract

The use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) such as IUDs is still low in Indonesia, especially among active contraception acceptors. One of the influencing factors is knowledge and self-efficacy. Based on social cognitive theory, a person's behavior, including choosing contraception, is influenced by personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy with the choice of IUD in active contraceptive services acceptors based on social cognitive theory. This study used an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 577 active contraception acceptors, and the sample consisted of 150 active contraceptive services acceptors selected by simple random sampling. The study was conducted at the Candi Sidoarjo Health Center. The independent variables in this study were knowledge and self-efficacy and the dependent variable was the choice of IUD in active contraceptive services acceptors. The research instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out using the Spearman-rank statistical test, with α ≤ 0.05. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and IUD selection p-value = 0.044 (α ≤ 0.05) which had a coefficient value of r = 0.265 which means it has a moderate correlation. In addition, there was a relationship between self-efficacy and IUD selection p-value = 0.035 (α ≤ 0.05) which had a coefficient value of r = 0.232 which means it has a moderate correlation. It was concluded that knowledge and self-efficacy were related to IUD selection in active contraceptive services acceptors. This is in line with the social cognitive theory which emphasizes the influence of personal factors, so that health workers are needed to improve education about long-term contraception, especially IUDs and strengthen self-efficacy through effective counseling by health workers to contraceptive services acceptors.

Abstract

Phytoestrogens such as genistein, abundantly found in tempeh—a traditional Indonesian fermented soybean product—have been shown to exhibit estrogen-like activities. These compounds may influence ovarian function, particularly folliculogenesis, but their dose-dependent effects remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of tempeh extract on ovarian folliculogenesis in female Wistar rats as an experimental model to assess the possible reproductive implications of phytoestrogen consumption. This true experimental study used a randomized post-test only control group design and was conducted as part of the first author's undergraduate thesis at Universitas Brawijaya. Twenty-four healthy female Wistar rats (aged 4–8 weeks) were divided into four groups (n = 6). The control group received no treatment, while treatment groups received oral tempeh extract at doses of 7.5 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg per 200 g body weight for 28 days. On day 29, ovarian tissues were collected, stained, and examined histologically to quantify primary, secondary, Graafian, and atretic follicles. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests. Although no statistically significant differences were observed among groups (p > 0.05), a descriptive trend indicated a reduction in early-stage follicles and an increase in Graafian and atretic follicles in the treatment groups. These changes suggest dose-dependent modulation of folliculogenesis. Tempeh extract may influence ovarian follicular dynamics, potentially accelerating follicular maturation or atresia. These findings highlight the need for further research to evaluate the reproductive safety of long-term phytoestrogen exposure from soy-based diets in women of reproductive age.

Abstract

WHO states the gold standard for child nutrition is exclusive breastfeeding. The national target for exclusive breastfeeding for 2020-2024 is 80%. In Indonesia, as of 2023, the target has not yet been reached, with a rate of 63.9%. In East Java province at 74.8%, Bangkalan district at 49.4%, and Blega Community Health Center at 48.14%. Exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by several factors, two of which are Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) and bonding attachment. This study aims to examine the relationship between EIBF and bonding attachment with exclusive breastfeeding. This study uses quantitative research and a retrospective design with a survey method involving 53 mothers who have children aged 7-12 months at The Blega Health Center. Data was collected through interviews and a questionnaire. Data analysis using the chi-square test and contingency coefficient test. The research results indicate a weak relationship between EIBF and exclusive breastfeeding with a p-value of 0.019 and a contingency coefficient of 0.342, as well as a moderate relationship between bonding attachment and exclusive breastfeeding with a p-value of 0.001 and a contingency coefficient of 0.446. This shows that although EIBF is an important step for exclusive breastfeeding, bonding attachment has a stronger relationship with exclusive breastfeeding in mothers with children aged 7-12 months at the Blega Health Center. This study concludes that exclusive breastfeeding has a stronger relationship with bonding attachment than EIBF.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a significant concern due to its potential adverse effects on both mother and fetus. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Take and Give method in improving pregnant women's knowledge, attitude, and adherence to iron tablet consumption. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group was employed, involving 60 pregnant women divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received education using the Take and Give method, while the control group used standard KIA books. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests. Data analysis results indicated that the 'Take and Give' method significantly influenced the increase in knowledge (p-value 0.000 < 0.05), attitude (p-value 0.000 < 0.05), and adherence (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). Furthermore, the 'Take and Give' method was more effective in improving pregnant women's knowledge, attitude, and adherence to iron tablet consumption compared to using KIA book media (knowledge p-value 0.003 < 0.05, attitude p-value 0.001 < 0.05, adherence p-value 0.049 < 0.05). The Take and Give method not only conveys information but also effectively shapes understanding and emotional responses affectively and evaluatively. This study recommends it as an innovative strategy to enhance understanding and positive behavioral changes in iron tablet consumption among pregnant women. The Take and Give method proved more effective than conventional methods in enhancing health behavior regarding iron supplementation in pregnancy.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) affect approximately 70–80% of pregnant women, particularly during the first trimester, and can substantially reduce maternal quality of life. Concerns regarding the potential adverse effects of pharmacological antiemetics have increased interest in complementary therapies, including ginger (Zingiber officinale), as a non-pharmacological alternative. This narrative review aimed to synthesize recent evidence regarding the effectiveness, safety, dosage, and mechanism of action of ginger in managing NVP. A literature search was conducted using PubMed and ScienceDirect to identify articles published between 2020 and 2025. Five eligible studies, comprising cross-sectional studies, literature reviews, an umbrella review, and a comprehensive evidence-based review, were included and narratively synthesized. The findings consistently demonstrated that ginger effectively reduces nausea during pregnancy, although its effect on vomiting is less consistent. Recommended doses ranged from 0.5 to 3 g/day, administered mainly as oral capsules or ginger tea. Ginger exerts its antiemetic effects by inhibiting serotonin (5-HT3) receptors, enhancing gastric emptying, and providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Overall, ginger has a favorable safety profile when consumed within the recommended dosage, although caution is advised in pregnant women with bleeding disorders or those receiving anticoagulant therapy. Ginger may therefore be considered an effective and generally safe complementary therapy for managing mild to moderate NVP; however, further high-quality clinical studies are needed to establish standardized dosage recommendations and strengthen the evidence supporting its routine clinical use.

Abstract

Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy (HDP) is a complex vascular complication associated with impaired placental angiogenesis and endothelial dysfunction. Globally, HDP represents a significant cause of adverse outcomes for both mothers and newborns. This systematic review aims to explore the molecular and physiological mechanisms contributing to the prevention of HDP through antenatal exercise. Research articles published between 2015 and 2025 were systematically identified from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases, resulting in 10 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Findings indicate that regular exercise during pregnancy improves endothelial function, balances angiogenic activity, and reduces oxidative stress and inflammation. Molecular mechanisms include increases in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO), as well as decreases in inflammatory markers. This supports improved placental perfusion and decreased vascular resistance, leading to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This review concludes that antenatal exercise provides multifactorial protection through physiological and molecular pathways, potentially becoming a safe, accessible, and affordable non-pharmacological strategy to mitigate HDP risk and promote maternal health.

Abstract

There are several intense discussions in the literature regarding the effectiveness of using physical punishment to discipline children, as well as its impact on the development of aggressive behaviors in children and adolescents. This literature review aims to investigate literature related to the use of physical punishment on children and the associated impact of physical punishment on child behavior development. A total of 10 articles were selected using PRISMA flowchart from relevant databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane based on inclusion criteria. The literature indicates that physical punishment by parents is significantly associated with various child behaviors. It causes children to experience long-term depression until adolescence and adulthood. Additionally, the review suggests that children who experience physical punishment at home may suffer negative consequences at school. The research findings emphasize the importance of opposing the use of physical punishment as disciplinary method by parents and increasing awareness of the negative effects.

Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality, and growing evidence highlights the need for safe, accessible non-pharmacological strategies to support hemodynamic stability during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga has gained increasing attention as a mind–body intervention that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to enhance both physiological and psychological well-being. This narrative review synthesizes current scientific literature on the mechanisms and outcomes associated with prenatal yoga in reducing the risk of hypertension during pregnancy. Evidence indicates that yoga promotes parasympathetic activation, improves baroreflex sensitivity, increases heart rate variability, and reduces sympathetic overactivity, thereby supporting autonomic balance. Yoga also modulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis by lowering stress hormones, while improving endothelial function through enhanced nitric oxide production and reduced vasoconstriction and inflammation. Clinical findings further demonstrate reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure among healthy pregnant women, those at risk for gestational hypertension, and individuals with mild preeclampsia. Psychological benefits, including decreased stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, complement these physiological improvements. Collectively, the evidence supports prenatal yoga as a safe, feasible, and effective complementary intervention for promoting cardiovascular stability and reducing hypertension risk in pregnancy. Its integration into antenatal care may offer substantial benefits for maternal health, particularly in low-resource settings.
