Postpartum depression is a postpartum mental health disorder that significantly impacts maternal well-being, infant development, and family functioning. The high prevalence of postpartum depression in Indonesia is due to limited access to health services, low mental health literacy, and social stigma in the community. This indicates a significant gap between the need for maternal mental health services and the availability of existing interventions, making education a crucial component in efforts to prevent postpartum depression early. This study aims to analyze the prevention of postpartum depression in postpartum mothers through telenursing-based education and screening using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in the community. A descriptive case study design was used, involving one respondent, a 25-year-old primigravida mother residing in the Bantul area. The intervention was implemented online via WhatsApp and video calls, including structured health education on postpartum psychological changes, adaptive coping strategies, and the importance of social support. The intervention also included daily remote monitoring of the respondent's condition via the WhatsApp mobile application. The EPDS was administered as a pre-test and post-test to evaluate changes in the respondent's psychological condition. The findings showed a significant decrease in the EPDS score from 16 (moderate depression) to 6 (minimal depression), indicating significant psychological improvement. These results imply that integrating EPDS screening, structured health education, and daily monitoring is an effective and accessible community-based approach to preventing postpartum depression, particularly for mothers with limited mobility and access to health services.

The academic transition phase among tenth-grade students represents an important period that requires the ability to adjust to changes in the environment, academic demands, and increasingly complex social dynamics. This study aims to analyze psychosocial dynamics in the student adaptation process during the academic transition phase through a literature review approach. The method employed was a library research study by examining various relevant scientific sources related to adolescent psychosocial development, adaptation processes, psychosocial impacts, and strategies for addressing students’ adaptation problems. The results of the review indicate that the adaptation process is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include emotional condition, coping ability, and self-control, while external factors include support from family, peers, teachers, and the school environment. Students’ inability to adapt may lead to anxiety, low self-confidence, academic difficulties, and obstacles in social interaction. Efforts to support students’ adaptation process can be carried out through strengthening social support, optimizing guidance and counseling services, and implementing self-management techniques to enhance students’ self-regulation abilities. With appropriate support and intervention strategies, students are expected to navigate the academic transition phase more effectively and develop optimally in psychological, social, and academic aspects.

This study aims to describe the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in increasing the learning participation of low-ability students at SDN 008 Tebing Karimun. Learning participation is an important indicator of learning success, but in reality there is still low student involvement in the learning process. Inhibiting factors come from internal aspects such as low confidence and limited cognitive abilities, as well as external aspects in the form of less varied learning strategies and less supportive classroom environments. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type, involving PAI teachers as the main informants and students as supporting informants. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed with an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, and tested for validity through triangulation. The results of the study showed that teachers' strategies include active learning, group discussions, individual approaches, and the use of learning media. The obstacles faced include low student confidence, cognitive limitations, and lack of variety of methods. The solutions carried out by teachers are in the form of providing motivation, applying innovative methods, and creating a conducive learning environment. This study concludes that PAI teachers' strategies play an important role in increasing the learning participation of low-ability students through innovative, interactive, and student-centered learning.

The problem of Out-of-School Children (OSC) in Lebak Village, Grabag Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, represents a complex educational issue that requires appropriate handling strategies. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the high number of OSC while evaluating the strategies implemented by Universitas Tidar students through the Community Service Program (KKN) in addressing this challenge. The findings reveal three main causes of OSC: zoning, learning motivation, and local culture. The zoning factor is related to limited access to public schools due to distance, while low learning motivation emerges from the lack of family support. Cultural factors are reflected in parents’ tendency to prioritize religious education in traditional Islamic boarding schools that do not follow a formal curriculum, which results in children not receiving general education diplomas. The strategies applied by KKN students included socialization about the importance of education to both students and parents, installing learning schedule banners to build study discipline, and providing direct mentoring for children at risk of becoming OSC. This approach highlights the importance of collaboration among families, schools, communities, and the government in creating a supportive environment for children’s education. The outcomes of the program show an increase in community awareness regarding the importance of formal education and the emergence of renewed motivation among children to continue schooling. Thus, it can be concluded that the KKN strategies contributed positively to reducing the number of OSC and can serve as a sustainable model of community empowerment in the field of education.

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) remains a key indicator in assessing maternal health in Indonesia. Prolonged labor, particularly in the first stage, contributes to the high MMR. Prolonged labor can increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby. Birthballs are a non-pharmacological method used to help accelerate labor by increasing comfort, reducing pain, and accelerating cervical dilation. This method is increasingly popular because it does not involve medication and is safer for pregnant women. This study aims to determine the effect of birthball use on the progress of first-stage labor in women giving birth at the Cantika Clinic, Deli Tua District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2022. The study design used a Quasi Experiment with a Two Group Design. The study sample consisted of 20 respondents divided into two groups: an intervention group using a birthball and a control group not using a birthball, each consisting of 10 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study showed that the group using the birthball had an average duration of the first stage of labor of 7 hours, while the group not using the birthball had an average duration of 8 hours and 40 minutes. The results of the statistical analysis showed a p value = 0.029 (<0.05), which means there is a significant effect of the use of the birthball on the progress of the first stage of labor. The conclusion of this study is that the use of the birthball can accelerate the process of the first stage of labor, so it is recommended to be implemented as a non-pharmacological intervention that can support a smoother and more comfortable delivery for pregnant women.  

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers caused by inadequate nutritional intake and recurrent infections, especially in the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). One of the main factors that influence the incidence of stunting is exclusive breastfeeding and maternal nutritional knowledge. Indonesia still faces a high prevalence of stunting, which if not addressed immediately can impact the quality of human resources in the future.Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting in infants aged 6–12 months in the working area of Kuala Bangka Health Center, Kualuh Hilir District, North Labuhan Batu Regency in 2021.Method: This study used a case control design with a sample of 110 respondents (55 cases and 55 controls) selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and processed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.002; OR = 4.394; 95% CI = 1.709–11.295), where infants who were not exclusively breastfed had a 4.4 times greater risk of experiencing stunting than infants who received optimal exclusive breastfeeding. However, there was no significant relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.233). Conclusion: The duration of exclusive breastfeeding was proven to be associated with the incidence of stunting, while maternal knowledge did not show a significant relationship. Stunting prevention efforts should focus on improving the practice of appropriate and comprehensive exclusive breastfeeding, accompanied by practice-based nutrition education that mothers can apply in childcare.

Background: HIV/AIDS is an infectious disease that attacks the immune system and is a global health problem. Pregnant women are among the vulnerable groups for HIV infection, so HIV testing during pregnancy is an important step in preventing mother-to-child transmission. However, the utilization of HIV testing by pregnant women is still low in various regions, including at the Peureulak Community Health Center, East Aceh Regency. HIV testing in pregnant women can reduce the risk of vertical transmission and provide an opportunity for appropriate treatment. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the utilization of HIV testing at the Peureulak Community Health Center. Methods: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 50 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of questions about knowledge about HIV/AIDS and utilization of HIV testing. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test to see the relationship between the two variables. Results: The results showed that the majority of pregnant women had insufficient knowledge about HIV/AIDS (56%). Utilization of HIV testing is also still low, with 52% of pregnant women not undergoing testing during pregnancy. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between pregnant women's knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their utilization of HIV testing (p = 0.002). Mothers with good knowledge were more likely to undergo HIV testing (72.7%) than mothers with poor knowledge (28.6%). Conclusion: Good knowledge of HIV/AIDS influences the utilization of HIV testing by pregnant women. Further education is needed to increase pregnant women's awareness of the importance of HIV testing to prevent transmission to the baby.  

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a public health problem that can increase the risk of serious complications, such as premature birth, maternal and infant mortality, and impaired fetal growth and development. One effort to prevent anemia is by consuming iron tablets (iron supplements). However, the success of this intervention is greatly influenced by the behavior of pregnant women in consuming these tablets, which includes knowledge, attitudes, and actions. If pregnant women have a good understanding and attitude, and implement iron tablet consumption appropriately, the risk of anemia can be reduced. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between iron consumption behavior (based on knowledge, attitudes, and actions) with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women at the Kuala Bangka Community Health Center, North Labuhan Batu Regency, in 2022. Method: This study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 20 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering knowledge, attitudes, and actions of pregnant women regarding iron consumption, as well as the incidence of anemia. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The majority of respondents had sufficient knowledge (45%), insufficient attitudes (70%), and insufficient iron consumption actions (70%). Moderate anemia was found in 70% of respondents. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.005), attitudes (p=0.001), and practices (p=0.000) and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between iron consumption behavior (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Increased education and support for pregnant women regarding the importance of proper iron consumption to prevent anemia during pregnancy is needed.

Sleep disturbances in infants can cause significant physiological and psychological impacts, such as decreased immune function, impaired cognitive development, and an increased risk of emotional problems (Tanty & Pramesti, 2023). Poor sleep not only inhibits physical growth but also affects infants’ mental development, including attention disorders, anxiety, and low cognitive abilities (Hendri & Sari, 2021). Therefore, it is important to provide effective interventions to improve infants’ sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the effect of baby massage on infant sleep quality at BPM Aida Nospita, Manunggal Village, Labuhan Deli Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, in 2025. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest design using an experimental group and a control group, also known as a pretest–posttest with control group design, which is a form of quasi-experimental research design. The population of this study consisted of all infants aged 3–6 months at BPM Aida Nospita, Manunggal Village, Labuhan Deli Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, totaling 32 infants, with 16 infants in the experimental group and 16 infants in the control group. The results of the statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a significant probability value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted, meaning that baby massage had a significant effect on sleep quality among infants at BPM Aida Nospita, Manunggal Village, Labuhan Deli Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, in 2025.
