Abstract

Background: Baby blues syndrome is one of the most common psychological conditions experienced by women during the postpartum period, resulting from biological, psychological, and social changes following childbirth. Husband support is an important protective factor that may help mothers adapt to their new parental roles and reduce the risk of postpartum emotional disturbances. This support may include emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband support and the occurrence of baby blues syndrome among postpartum mothers. Methods: This study used a quantitative observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted from January to March 2026 at a maternal health service facility. A total of 60 postpartum mothers were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing respondent characteristics, husband support, and baby blues syndrome. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test with a 95% significance level. Results: Most respondents received good husband support (63.3%), while 30.0% experienced baby blues syndrome. The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between husband support and baby blues syndrome (p = 0.002). Mothers receiving good husband support were less likely to experience baby blues syndrome. Conclusion: Husband support is significantly associated with baby blues syndrome among postpartum mothers. Strengthening husband involvement may support maternal mental health during the postpartum period.

Abstract

Background: Unmet need for family planning remains a significant concern in Indonesia because it may limit the effectiveness of reproductive health programs. This condition occurs when women who wish to postpone or stop having children do not use contraception. Various factors may influence this situation, including maternal knowledge, spousal involvement, availability of healthcare services, counseling experiences, and concerns about contraceptive side effects. Identifying these determinants at the primary healthcare level is essential for improving the responsiveness of family planning services.Methods: A quantitative analytic study using a cross-sectional approach was conducted at Weda Primary Health Center, Central Halmahera Regency, from February to April 2026. Sixty respondents were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were obtained using a validated and reliable structured questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to describe the study variables, followed by Chi-square testing to assess associations. Variables demonstrating relevant relationships were further examined using multiple logistic regression. Statistical significance was determined at α = 0.05.Results: Of the 60 participants, 38.3% experienced unmet need for family planning. Significant associations were identified for knowledge (p = 0.002), husband's support (p = 0.001), service accessibility (p = 0.008), counseling quality (p = 0.001), and perceptions of implant side effects (p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that inadequate husband's support was the strongest contributing factor, with women lacking spousal support having 5.74 times higher odds of experiencing unmet need (95% CI: 2.01–16.43).Conclusion: Unmet need is influenced by interconnected individual, family, and service-related factors. Strengthening contraceptive education, enhancing counseling, involving husbands in reproductive decision-making, and improving service accessibility may help reduce unmet need and increase appropriate implant utilization.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reproductive health problems among women of productive age and may adversely affect work performance, attendance, and quality of life. One potential non-pharmacological intervention is workplace stretching, a simple exercise program that can be performed in the workplace to improve physical well-being and reduce menstrual pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of workplace stretching exercises on menstrual pain among female workers. Methods: A quantitative study was conducted using a pre-experimental approach with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Sixty female workers were recruited through purposive sampling according to predetermined inclusion criteria. Participants completed a four-week workplace stretching program performed three times per week for approximately 15–20 minutes per session. Menstrual pain intensity was assessed before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Paired Sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05. Results : The mean menstrual pain score decreased from 6.87 ± 1.29 before the intervention to 3.15 ± 1.18 after completing the stretching program. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in pain intensity following the intervention (p < 0.001), indicating that workplace stretching effectively reduced menstrual pain among the participants. Conclusion: Workplace stretching significantly reduced menstrual pain complaints among female workers. This exercise program may serve as a practical, safe, and cost-effective non-pharmacological strategy for workplace health promotion, contributing to improved reproductive health, greater work comfort, and enhanced employee productivity.

Abstract

Background: Emesis gravidarum is a common complaint in the first trimester of pregnancy, experienced by most pregnant women. This condition can disrupt daily activities and impact the mother's nutritional status. One effective non-pharmacological intervention is providing nutrition education. Nutrition education helps mothers understand appropriate eating patterns to reduce the frequency of emesis. Objective: To determine the effect of providing nutritional education on reducing the frequency of emesis in pregnant women at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital. Method: The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A sample of 30 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with SPSS. Results: The average frequency of emesis before nutrition education was 6.23 times /day and after education was 3.17 times/day. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001 (< 0.05 ). Conclusion: There is an effect of providing nutritional education on reducing the frequency of emesis in pregnant women at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital. Recommendation: Health workers are expected to improve nutritional education for pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy remain major causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Effective blood pressure control requires not only medical treatment but also family support to improve maternal adherence to medication and antenatal care. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of a family-based mentoring innovation on hypertension control among pregnant women at South Amuntai Primary Health Center. Methods: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted among 60 pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and allocated into intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. Data were collected through blood pressure measurements, structured questionnaires, observation sheets, and medical records. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, paired and independent t-tests, and multivariate linear regression with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The intervention group showed a greater reduction in mean systolic blood pressure (15.8 mmHg) than the control group (4.3 mmHg). Significant improvements were also observed in maternal treatment adherence and family participation after the intervention (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that family-based mentoring had a statistically significant effect on hypertension control after adjustment for potential confounding variables. Conclusion: Family-based mentoring effectively improves hypertension control among pregnant women by strengthening treatment adherence, routine health monitoring, and active family participation. This intervention has potential as an evidence-based approach to strengthen maternal healthcare services at primary healthcare facilities and support the prevention of pregnancy-related complications associated with hypertension. The findings highlight the importance of integrating families into hypertension management at healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Three-month injectable contraception (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate/DMPA) is one of the most widely used contraceptive methods because of its high effectiveness, convenience, and long duration of action. However, the success of this contraceptive method depends largely on acceptors' compliance with scheduled reinjection visits. Delayed or missed reinjections may reduce contraceptive effectiveness and increase the risk of unintended pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with compliance in the use of three-month injectable contraception among family planning acceptors. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 respondents who were users of three-month injectable contraception. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-square test. The independent variables included age, education, occupation, economic status, parity, knowledge, and husband's support, while the dependent variable was compliance with the reinjection schedule. The results revealed that husband's support was the only variable significantly associated with compliance in the use of three-month injectable contraception (p < 0.05). Women who received positive support from their husbands were more likely to adhere to scheduled reinjection visits than those who lacked such support. Although age, education, occupation, economic status, parity, and knowledge were not statistically significant, these factors may indirectly influence contraceptive behavior by affecting women's access to health information and healthcare services. The findings highlight the importance of involving husbands in family planning programs and strengthening health education to improve adherence among contraceptive acceptors. Continuous counseling, effective communication, and family-centered reproductive health interventions are expected to enhance compliance with reinjection schedules and contribute to the overall success of family planning programs.
