Abstract

The best primary nutrition for babies is breast milk. Exclusive Breastfeeding is given since the baby is born for six months. Breastfeeding proofed to reduce infant mortality and morbidity. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low at around 37.3%. The cause of the low number of breastfeeding is the lack of information obtained by the mother, affecting the mother's knowledge and belief. Breastfeeding mothers need the correct information. This information can be obtained from lactation counseling provided by health workers. This study aims to analyze the effect of counseling on knowledge, mothers' self-confidence, and breastfeeding ability in postpartum mothers. This research was conducted in July–September 2021 in the working area of the Sukaluyu Public Health Center, Cianjur regency. This research method uses a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only with a control group design—the sample in this study was 60 respondents, primigravida mothers aged 37 weeks to 1 month postpartum. The analysis used is the t-test and the Mann-Whitney test. This study uses three instruments: knowledge, self-confidence in the form of a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Form (BSESF) questionnaire, and a breastfeeding ability observation sheet. The study results on mothers' knowledge in the intervention group were higher, namely 26, and there was a significant difference between the knowledge of the two groups (p=0.03). There are differences in the beliefs of breastfeeding mothers after being given counseling (p=0.001). There is no difference in the mothers' ability of the two groups after counseling (p=1.000). In conclusion, lactation counseling using video media increases the knowledge and confidence of breastfeeding mothers compared to those given standard care.

Abstract

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. This disease damages the lung and resulting mild to severe pneumonia. This study aimed to determine the value of the Brixia score for predicting mortality and length of stay of COVID-19 confirmed patients. The study design was case-control with secondary data from digital medical records of COVID-19 confirmed patients (December 2020 to February 2021). All patients' chest x-rays (CXR) were scored using the Brixia score. Logistic regression and the Spearman rank correlation test were used to identify mortality and length of stay predictors. There were 636 subjects included in this study, with the proportion of deceased patients (case group) being 20.3% (95% CI=17.33, 23.59%). Most CXR findings had signs of pneumonia (95.1%), including ground-glass opacities (GGOs) mixed with consolidation. The distribution of GGOs and consolidation were most frequent in the peripheral of survived patients (83.9%), while the deceased group had peripheral involvements mixed with medial (45.0%) and bilateral (22.2%). The mean Brixia score in the group of decease patients was significantly higher than the group of survived patients (11.95 vs 6.73, p=0.00). Brixia score had an OR of 1.14, 95% CI=1.07, 1.21 after adjusting by age, SpO2 level, and comorbid. The chance of dying was higher than 50% if the Brixia score reached to score of 15 (probability=49%, 95% CI=41, 56%). However, the Brixia score has no significant correlation with length of stay (rho=0.05, p=0.24). In conclusion, the CXR Brixia score can predict mortality, but it can not predict the length of stay of hospitalized COVID-19 confirmed patients.
