Abstract

Background: Sleep quality during pregnancy decreases significantly as pregnancy progresses. Poor sleep quality can be addressed with various methods, including aromatherapy as a relaxation technique. Chamomile aromatherapy contains compounds that increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor activity, thereby promoting muscle relaxation and inducing sleepiness. This study aims to assess improvement in sleep quality in third-trimester pregnant women after receiving chamomile aromatherapy.  Methods: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 participants, all of whom were pregnant women in their third trimester. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and an observation sheet. The chamomile aromatherapy intervention was administered before bedtime for 14 consecutive days by adding three drops of chamomile essential oil to a humidifier containing 100 ml of water, which was diffused for 10 minutes.  Results: A total of 53.3% of respondents had poor sleep quality before the chamomile aromatherapy intervention, which increased to 53.3% with excellent sleep quality after the intervention. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a statistically significant improvement in sleep quality (p = <0.001). The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a significant improvement in sleep quality (p = <0.001).  Conclusion: Chamomile aromatherapy significantly improves sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women. Health workers, especially midwives and nurses, should provide education and guidance on the safe use of chamomile aromatherapy.

Abstract

Background: Ratus as a traditional Javanese health ritual historically associated with purity and marital preparation, has undergone a significant transformation in meaning among contemporary women. This study aims to explore how Ratus is reinterpreted as a cultural, spiritual, and personal practice, revealing women’s bodily agency and negotiation within the dynamics of modernity. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, nonparticipant observation, and documentation involving eight Javanese women aged 25–50 from Yogyakarta and Bantul, selected purposively for having practiced Ratus for at least two years. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, supported by source triangulation and member checking to ensure data validity. Results: Five main themes emerged: (1) transformation of Ratus from a sacred ritual to a self-care practice; (2) spiritual and emotional healing dimensions; (3) reinforcement of cultural identity and female solidarity; (4) commodification of tradition within beauty markets; and (5) negotiation between tradition and modernity as symbolic resistance to Western medical and beauty norms. Conclusion: Ratus now functions as both a holistic health practice and a medium of cultural self-expression, reflecting Javanese women’s adaptive agency amid modernization. This study recommends strengthening the preservation of ratus practices through a sustainable cultural approach by involving women, health workers, and community leaders in efforts to maintain its meaning and health benefits.

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a prevalent health issue among adolescent girls, often resulting from menstrual blood loss and insufficient iron intake. Globally, anemia prevalence among adolescents ranges from 40 to 88%. In Indonesia, the rate is 32%, while in East Kalimantan it reaches 43.2%. At Senior High School 3 Penajam Paser Utara, 57.14% of female students were identified as anemic. This condition may impair health, reduce learning concentration, and increase the risk of pregnancy complications in later life. This study aimed to analyze the association between anemia awareness and adherence to iron supplement consumption among adolescent girls at Senior High School 3 Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan Methods: A cross-sectional study with a descriptive-analytic design was employed, involving 74 adolescent girls through simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed with the Chi-square test. Results: Among the 74 respondents, 53 (71.6%) demonstrated low awareness of anemia, and 55 (74.3%) were non-adherent to iron supplement consumption. The Chi-square test revealed a significant association between anemia awareness and adherence (p = 0.001 p < 0.05). Conclusion: Adolescent girls with higher awareness of anemia were more likely to adhere to iron supplement consumption compared to those with lower awareness.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major problem in Indonesia. The Blora Regency Government targets a stunting prevalence of 20.81% by 2025. Stunting impacts parents' psychological well-being, such as feelings of inability to care for their children. Therefore, resilience and adaptation are needed to accept their child's condition. Parental resilience can be improved through social support and knowledge.  Stunting counseling by cadres can provide social support and knowledge to mothers emotionally. The purpose is to analyze the effect of kalinting on resilience of parents of stunted children. Methods: This quantitative study used a single-group pretest-post test design. The population was all cadres in the stunting village. A sample of 30 cadres was selected using consecutive sampling. The study was conducted from June to September 2025 in Blora Regency. The independent variable was stunting counseling, while the dependent variables were cadre knowledge and maternal resilience. The knowledge and resilience instruments used a questionnaire. A pretest of cadre knowledge was conducted before counseling, and a posttest was conducted three days later. The pretest of maternal resilience in stunted children was conducted before the stunting counseling practice, followed by a posttest. Analysis used a paired t-test because the data were normal. Results: The results of the study showed a difference in the knowledge of cadres before and after education (p=0.0001) and a difference in the resilience of mothers before and after receiving counseling (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Stunting counseling by cadres can increase mothers' confidence in caring for their children. Cadres can provide stunting counseling at integrated health posts.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition in children under five remains a persistent public health problem in Indonesia, influenced by various multidimensional factors. Maternal knowledge, perception, and both health worker and family support play critical roles in determining mothers’ motivation to prevent malnutrition. This study aimed to analyze the determinants influencing maternal motivation in preventing malnutrition among children under five. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional study involved 98 mothers of children under five in the working area of Sukaresmi Health Center, Cianjur. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. Results: The findings revealed that maternal motivation was significantly influenced by knowledge (p = 0.007), perception (p = 0.016), health worker support (p = 0.048), and family support (p = 0.044). These four factors collectively explained 72.3% of the variance in maternal motivation to prevent malnutrition. Conclusion: Strengthening maternal capacity through health education, improving the quality of health services, and fostering supportive family environments are essential strategies to enhance maternal motivation and reduce malnutrition rates among children under five. The study underscores the need for comprehensive, family-centered, community-based interventions to address the multifactorial nature of child malnutrition.

Abstract

Background: This study investigates Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in expecting mothers, a condition arising from prolonged inadequate energy and protein intake. Untreated CED poses health risks for both mothers and their unborn babies, including miscarriage, premature birth, birth defects, low birth weight (LBW), and potentially stunting the child's growth. Despite existing goals, the incidence of CED in pregnant women remains above the target of 17.3%. Women with a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) less than 23.5 cm are considered at high risk. This research aims to identify factors contributing to the prevalence of CED among pregnant women in the Central Java and East Java regions. Methods: This study employs a mixed-methods approach, specifically a sequential explanatory design. A sample sized group of 124 participants was selected using simple random sampling. Questionnaires were distributed to healthcare facilities.  In-depth interviews were subsequently conducted to delve deeper into the causes of CED and existing efforts to address it within the chosen health centers.  Results: The final multivariate analysis revealed a significant association (p-value < 0.05) between CED in pregnant women and the following factors: income (p-value=0.018, OR=3), knowledge about CED (p-value=0.028, OR=2.7), dietary habit (p-value=0.015, OR=3.4), and food intake (p-value=0.007, OR=4). Conclusion: Food intake is a more dominant variable in relation to CED in pregnant women. Health workers are encouraged to continue enhancing health promotion efforts regarding nutritional intake for pregnant women and their families. In addition, community health centers should consistently support the provision of supplementary feeding programs for pregnant women through regular monitoring.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is predominantly attributed to blood loss, particularly in adolescent girls during menstruation, and insufficient consumption of iron-rich foods. Iron-rich food sources include almonds, leafy greens, and red meat. Pharmacological interventions to address low hemoglobin levels in teenagers included the weekly intake of iron tablets, whilst non-pharmacological strategies involved the daily ingestion of mung bean juice. This study sought to assess the impact of iron tablet and mung bean juice administration on hemoglobin level enhancement in adolescent girls at a Junior High School in Samarinda. Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental approach featuring a nonequivalent control group. The sampling strategy employed a non-probability method via purposive sampling. The researcher established the sampling according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria utilizing the Federer formula, resulting in 18 individuals in both the control and intervention groups. The treatment group received mung bean juice for a duration of 14 days. A paired T-test was used to analyze the difference in hemoglobin levels before and after therapy.  Results: The analysis produced a p-value < 0.001, which is less than 0.05, leading to the conclusion that the intervention group exhibited a greater increase in hemoglobin levels compared to the control group. Conclusion: The administration of Fe tablets and mung bean juice effectively increased hemoglobin levels in teenage girls at the Junior High School in Samarinda. Regular administration of iron tablets and mung bean juice is recommended as a measure to increase hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background: Paracetamol is one of the analgesics and antipyretics that are widely traded freely, so it is possible that the use is not according to the recommended dose and consumption time. This can trigger liver damage and changes in blood biochemistry. Green tea has components such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and hepatoprotectors. The study aimed to analyze the effect of green tea extract on the blood biochemistry of rats induced by paracetamol. Methods: Laboratory experimental research with the Post-Test Control Group Design method, using 25 male Wistar rats, applying random sampling. Twenty-five rats were divided into 5 groups: K- (control), K+ (positive control), and treatment groups with green tea extract, respectively 175 mg (T1), 350 mg (T2), and 700 mg/kg bw (T3) for 24 days. The treatment group and K+ received paracetamol 600 mg/kg bw on the 14th day for 10 days, and green tea extract was still given. Data, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, and leukocyte counts, were analysed using ANOVA and the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Results: GTE significantly (p-value <0.05) reduced leukocytes and AST, but inadequate paracetamol induction failed to elevate ALT and lipids, masking GTE’s measurable impact on those specific biochemical parameters. Conclusion: Providing green tea extract was effective in declining the number of leucocytes and AST levels. The study concluded that green tea extract has the potential to influence the biochemical profile of rats induced by paracetamol. Further research is needed regarding the dose and period of administration and exposure.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, affecting 21.6% of children under five. While nutritional interventions are commonly implemented, the role of parenting styles in shaping eating behaviors among stunted children requires further investigation. This study explored how different parenting approaches relate to eating behaviors in stunted toddlers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a consecutive sampling technique, involving 132 mothers with stunted toddlers aged 24–59 months at Kalijaga Permai Community Health Center, Cirebon City, between February and May 2025. Parenting styles were measured using the Parenting Styles Four Factor Questionnaire (PS-FFQ), while eating behaviors were assessed through a validated 6-item questionnaire. Spearman’s rank correlation was applied to analyze the relationships between parenting styles and eating behaviors. Results: Findings revealed that authoritarian parenting was most common (38.7%), followed by democratic (26.5%), permissive (25.0%), and uninvolved (9.8%) parenting styles. Nearly seven out of ten children (68.2%) exhibited problematic eating behaviors. Democratic parenting demonstrated the strongest positive relationship with healthy eating patterns (r=0.681, p<0.001). In contrast, authoritarian parenting showed a moderate negative association (r=-0.428, p<0.001), while permissive parenting displayed a weak negative correlation (r=-0.215, p=0.013). Uninvolved parenting showed no significant relationship with eating behaviors (r=-0.013, p=0.885).  Conclusion: Parenting styles are meaningfully associated with eating behaviors among stunted toddlers, with democratic parenting showing the strongest connection to healthier eating patterns. These findings suggest that stunting prevention programs should integrate parenting education focused on responsive feeding practices alongside traditional nutritional interventions.
