<![CDATA[Low rate of pregnant women’s visit can inhibit the information health workers need to collect, subsequently posing problem in providing health assistance. This is extremely dangerous for the safety of mother and baby during childbirth. Jember district health center reported low rate of visit of third-trimester pregnant women as evidenced by an average visit of below 4 times. The aim of the study was to increase the coverage of third-trimester pregnant women’s visit based on community involvement based on factor analysis at Jember district health center. This study aims to increase the visit of trimester 3 pregnant women to public health centres. This research is an analytic research with cross sectional approach. The study involves 100 third-trimester pregnant women, chosen through random sampling. The results of this study highlight 6 independent variables that affect pregnant women visits. The most dominant influence is pregnant women’s knowledge regarding visit (p = 0.003 0.05 Exp (B) 7.523, equal to 75%). There is a significant difference between the southern and northern parts of the Jember health center with regard to knowledge, socio-cultural, and geographical location. The priority issues determined from the Focus Group Discussion process are 1) the level of knowledge; 2) social culture; and 3) geographical location. The study demonstrates that the right measures are to conduct routine counseling related to the importance of ANC visits, evaluate the presence of ANC visits and add ball pick-up services for pregnant women who do not visit ANC.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to study maternal mental health’s association to stunting in children under five years old in Indonesia, which is related to mothers, children, and households’ characteristics based on the age group of children under five years old. This study uses longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 and 2014 with the Logistic Regression method. Maternal mental health was measured using the CESD-10 instrument. The results showed that in the children’s age group of 0-59 months and 24-59 months, an increase in the total CESD-10 score was associated with stunting in children after being controlled by all the characteristics. At age 0-23 months, the increase in the total score of CESD-10 was not associated with stunting. Maternal height, breastfeeding duration, child age, birth weight, and residence location were associated with stunting in all age groups. Maternal education and expenditure quintiles were associated with stunting in the 0-59 months and 24-59 months age groups. Meanwhile, two variables only relate to the incidence of stunting in one age group of children under five, namely maternal age (0-59 months of children under five) and sanitary conditions (24-59 months of children under five).]]>

<![CDATA[Lack of knowledge and information on sexual and reproductive health has led to an increase in reproductive health problems, such as sexual violence and abuse, marriage and teenage pregnancy. There are several government programs related to youth health, but only a few young people can use and take advantage of these programs. This study aims to outline the needs and expectations of adolescents in sexual education and reproductive health. The method used is a qualitative method and an in-depth interview was conducted. Use deliberate sampling techniques to determine samples. The interview results showed that all adolescents had heard of adolescent reproductive health (KRR), but they could not fully explain the definition and scope of KRR. The availability of KRR information and services around the residence is still poor, and although there is no regular schedule and incomplete, most are obtained from the school. The services that young people need include youth-friendly counseling, counseling and health checks. The expected facilities are easy-to-use facilities, affordable costs and flexible service hours. Support from policy makers, plan implementers, schools and youth residential communities are needed to provide youth-friendly and easily accessible KRR services.]]>
