The life insurance industry plays a strategic role in the national financial system, not only as a provider of protection against life risks such as premature death or critical illness, but also as an instrument of long-term fund accumulation. Increased public awareness of the importance of risk protection has driven significant growth in the number of active policies. This condition has a direct impact on the risk exposure of claims that must be carefully managed by insurance companies. One of the main challenges in risk management is to accurately estimate the number of claims in a certain period, to support premium setting, technical reserve planning, and maintain the company's financial stability. This study aims to examine the use of Poisson regression model in estimating the frequency of life insurance claims based on the number of active policies in life insurance company. The data used is simulative and represents an exponential relationship between the number of policies and claims. The model is analyzed using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) approach and evaluated through goodness-of-fit indicators such as deviance, Pearson chi-square, log-likelihood, and Mean Squared Error (MSE). The results of the analysis show that the Poisson regression model can capture the significant relationship pattern between the number of active policies and claims, and provide accurate prediction results. Thus, Poisson regression is proven to be a relevant and applicable statistical method in supporting strategic decision-making in insurance companies, especially in the context of data-driven risk management.

Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a major public health issue that negatively affects women’s psychological well-being and reproductive health. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an approach to health services that recognizes the long-term effects of trauma and incorporates this understanding into all aspects of patient care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TIC implementation in midwifery services on the psychological recovery of pregnant and postpartum women with a history of GBV in Medan City. Methods: This study applied a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design involving 86 pregnant and postpartum women identified through GBV screening at six primary health centers in Medan. Participants were divided into a TIC intervention group (n=43) and a control group (n=43). Psychological outcomes assessed included post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms using the PCL-5, depression with the EPDS, anxiety with the GAD-7, self-efficacy with the GSE, and mother–infant bonding using the PBQ. Data collection was conducted at baseline, week 8, and week 16. Statistical analysis employed repeated measures ANOVA and multiple linear regression.Results: Women receiving TIC showed significantly better psychological outcomes at week 16 compared with the control group. PTSD, depression, and anxiety scores decreased significantly, while self-efficacy and mother–infant bonding improved markedly (p<0.001). TIC also emerged as an independent predictor of psychological recovery after adjustment for confounding variables (β=-0.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: Trauma-informed care in midwifery services effectively enhances psychological recovery among women with GBV histories and should be integrated into maternal healthcare standards for vulnerable populations in Indonesia. 

Background: Midwifery-led care (MLC) is a continuity of care model that positions midwives as the primary responsible providers in managing low-risk pregnancies. Despite endorsement by the World Health Organization, its implementation in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of MLC intervention on maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-risk pregnancies.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at four primary health centers in Surabaya, Indonesia, from January to December 2024. A total of 240 low-risk pregnant women meeting inclusion criteria were allocated into two groups: MLC intervention (n=120) and conventional care control (n=120). Outcomes measured included preeclampsia, preterm delivery, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, and maternal satisfaction. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t-test, and multivariate logistic regression with significance set at p<0.05.Results: The MLC group demonstrated significantly better maternal outcomes, including lower cesarean section rate (15.7% vs 28.2%; p=0.018), lower preeclampsia incidence (5.2% vs 13.7%; p=0.024), and lower postpartum hemorrhage (3.5% vs 10.3%; p=0.034). Neonatal outcomes also showed significant differences in low birth weight (4.3% vs 12.0%; p=0.029) and neonatal asphyxia (2.6% vs 8.5%; p=0.041). Overall maternal satisfaction was higher in the MLC group (92.2% vs 71.8%; p<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified MLC as a protective factor against adverse maternal-neonatal outcomes (OR=0.42; 95% CI: 0.24–0.73; p=0.002).Conclusion: Midwifery-led care intervention significantly improves maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-risk pregnancies and enhances maternal satisfaction with care. This model is recommended for broader implementation within the Indonesian maternal and child healthcare system.

Background: Adolescence is a transitional period characterised by significant physical, psychological, and social changes, including reproductive maturation. Limited knowledge and negative attitudes toward reproductive health can increase adolescents’ risk of engaging in unhealthy behaviours. Understanding their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours is crucial for developing effective educational interventions. Objective: This study examined the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and reproductive health behaviours among adolescents. Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted at a junior high school in Batam City from March to June 2024. Of 250 students, 72 were selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Chi-square test. Results: Most respondents had moderate knowledge of reproductive health (41.7%), positive attitudes (63.9%), and good reproductive health behaviour (55.6%). Bivariate analysis showed significant correlations between knowledge and behaviour (p = 0.021) and between attitudes and behaviour (p = 0.015). Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes are significantly associated with adolescents’ reproductive health behaviour. Strengthening reproductive health education in schools is recommended to improve adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices.

This meta-review study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of mental health policies targeting refugees from the Middle East based on a systematic analysis of 87 policies issued across 12 refugee-hosting countries during the period from 2015 to 2023. Employing the PRISMA approach and thematic analysis, this research found that only 34.5% of all reviewed policies met the World Health Organization's minimum standards regarding mental health services for refugees. In comparison, the effective implementation rate of those policies meeting the standards reached only 28.7% (CI 95%, p<0.001). Findings from the logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the scale of mental health budget allocations and recovery rates from PTSD among refugee populations, where every 10% increase in budget allocation corresponded to a 15.3% reduction in PTSD prevalence (r=0.78, p<0.001). Furthermore, the meta-analysis results from this study demonstrated that community-based policies were 2.4 times more effective (OR=2.4, CI 95%: 1.8–3.1) than those employing institutional approaches. Hence, diverging from the conclusions posited by Turrini et al. (2019) and Sijbrandij (2017), which emphasized clinical interventions, this study has instead affirmed that integrating cultural-spiritual approaches with conventional therapy can enhance treatment success by 47.2%. Additionally, these findings expand the conceptual framework previously proposed by Watters (2001) on holistic approaches by identifying five key elements that form the foundation of effective mental health policies: universal access, cultural sensitivity, community empowerment, service integration, and program sustainability.

Sleep disturbances may be encountered by third-trimester gravid women owing to perceptual vicissitudes and physiological-psychological perturbations. Sleep caliber may be detrimentally impacted by depression precipitated by such gestational alterations. A quantitative correlational paradigm was harnessed in this inquiry to appraise the nexus betwixt gestational sleep quality and depressive symptomatology. The study cohort encompassed the entirety of pregnant women, from whom 41 were randomly conscripted. Kendall's tau-b correlational scrutiny yielded a coefficient of 0.649 and p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), evincing a robust, statistically salient association between prenatal sleep eminence and depression. Ergo, diminished sleep repose is characteristically observed among gravid women manifesting depressive states.

Infant anxiety following routine immunizations, such as DPT vaccination, can lead to distress, prolonged crying, and negative behavioral responses, affecting both the child and caregivers. Non-pharmacological interventions, including aromatherapy, have been explored to alleviate such anxiety. This study aimed to examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy inhalation on anxiety levels in infants after DPT immunization at Puskesmas Rum Balibunga Tidore. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was employed, involving 30 infants aged 2–6 months. Anxiety was assessed using a validated observational scale, focusing on behavioral indicators such as crying duration, facial expressions, and body movements. Lavender essential oil was administered via inhalation for five minutes immediately after immunization. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to evaluate changes in anxiety scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in infant anxiety following lavender inhalation, with mean scores decreasing from 14.5 ± 2.8 to 9.3 ± 2.1 (p < 0.001). Behavioral indicators, including the frequency and duration of crying, were also markedly reduced, supporting the effectiveness of the intervention. These findings align with prior research indicating that lavender essential oil can modulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress responses. In conclusion, inhalation of lavender aromatherapy effectively decreases post-immunization anxiety in infants. Incorporating this intervention into routine vaccination procedures at community health centers offers a safe, non-invasive, and culturally acceptable method to improve infant comfort and enhance the overall immunization experience.

Anemia during pregnancy is a public health issue that remains a challenge in developing countries, including Indonesia. Iron tablets are recommended as the primary intervention to prevent anemia, but compliance among pregnant women in taking iron tablets varies and is influenced by various factors, including health worker counseling. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of cadre assistance and the level of compliance with TTD consumption among pregnant women at the Tomalou Community Health Center, Tidore Kepulauan City. The study design used an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women selected using total sampling technique. The independent variable was the intensity of cadre assistance, while the dependent variable was the level of compliance with TTD consumption. Data were collected using observation sheets, consumption monitoring forms, and respondent identity questionnaires, then analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents were compliant in consuming TTD, but there was no significant relationship between the intensity of cadre assistance and the level of compliance with TTD consumption (r = 0.036; p = 0.848). This study concluded that the frequency of assistance alone was not sufficient to influence TTD consumption compliance, thus requiring a more comprehensive, educational assistance approach that involved family support. These findings could form the basis for evaluating the cadre assistance program in preventing anemia in pregnant women.
