One of the stunting locations in East Tanjung Jabung Regency is located in Geragai Sub-district, Pandan Lagan Village. According to data from the Puskesmas in 2019, the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village was 35 toddlers, in 2020 it was 17 stunting children out of a total of 70 children in Pandan Lagan Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status, history of maternal conditions, and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK with the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village. This type of research is quantitative research, using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples to be studied with the Lemeshow Formula is 45 respondents. The dependent variable is stunting and the independent variables are maternal nutritional status (pre-pregnant maternal BMI and weight gain during pregnancy), history of maternal conditions (maternal age during pregnancy, birth spacing), and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet, then the data was processed through data editing, data coding, data entry, data cleaning, and data processing, then analyzed univariate, bivariate with a chi-square test, and multivariate with multiple logistic regression test. Based on the results of the study, there is a relationship between pre-pregnancy maternal BMI with a risk of 4,464 times, weight gain with a risk of 3,75 times, maternal age during pregnancy with a risk of 3,0 times, and spacing of babies with a risk of 2,444 times with the incidence of stunting. There is no relationship between maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK and the incidence of stunting with a p-value = 0,114, and it is known that the pre-pregnancy mother's BMI variable is the variable that has the greatest influence on infants with stunting nutritional status (odds ratio = 15,943). For this reason, it is expected to be more intensive in educating couples of childbearing age, pre-pregnant mothers, or early on to adolescent girls to pay attention to factors that affect stunted children, especially to have an ideal BMI so that it will reduce the risk of having children with stunted nutritional status.    

Low birth weight (LBW) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a birth weight of less than 2,500 grams. LBW continues to be a significant public health issue globally and is associated with a range of short-term and long-term consequences. Overall, it is estimated that 15% to 20% of all births worldwide are low birth weight, representing more than 20 million births per year (WHO, 2014). The research aims to identify factors influencing the occurrence of LBW. This study adopts a simple observational design with a cross-sectional approach, a method that seeks to find factors related to independent variables (age, education, occupation, parity, pregnancy interval, gestational age) with the dependent variable of Low Birth Weight (LBW). The research findings at RSKD Mother and Child Pertiwi Makassar from 2022, reveal that, through the Chi-Square test, there are five variables that have no relationship with the occurrence of Low Birth Weight (LBW), namely age, education, occupation, parity, and pregnancy interval. There is only one variable, gestational age, that is associated with LBW. The study also highlights the characteristics of mothers delivering LBW babies at RSKD Mother and Child Pertiwi Makassar. Most of them are under the age of 20, accounting for 26 individuals (63.6%). The majority have basic education, with 26 individuals (50.0%), and the most common occupation is unemployed mothers, comprising 46 individuals (48.4%). Multiparous mothers are the highest in number, with 41 individuals (47.7%), and the majority have a pregnancy interval of less than 3 years, amounting to 28 individuals (54.8%). The gestational age is predominantly less than 37 weeks, with 31 individuals (100.0%). The study suggests the importance of recommending regular prenatal check-ups, a minimum of six times during pregnancy, for all normal or at-risk pregnant mothers.

The process of pregnancy and childbirth is a natural process that occurs in a mother. Perineal Rupture is tearing or tearing of tissue by force. This study aims to determine the relationship between birth weight and the incidence of perineal rupture in Primipara at Independent Practice Midwife Lidya in Delitua in 2022. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross sectional method approach. The number of samples used was 22 people. The data analysis technique uses the Chi Square test. the results obtained from 22 respondents, obtained a value of p = 0.001 (P> 0.05) this means that there is a relationship between birth weight and the incidence of perineal rupture in Primipara.

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) or Kangaroo Method Care (FMC) is a treatment for premature and low birth weight (LBW) infants with direct skin-to-skin contact, where the mother uses her body temperature to warm the baby. This method of care has also been shown to facilitate breastfeeding, increasing the length and duration of breastfeeding. The goal after the activity is that mothers who have babies and toddlers are exposed to material about Kangaroo Mother Care. IEC community service activities have been carried out in the form of counselling, providing information and education about the benefits of KMC and how to do KMC. This activity is expected not to end in community service activities, but with the leaflet media it can be used as a policy for related villages to develop in the form of applications as a course method for cadres in the health sector so that child health in the area can utilise the application in the implementation of courses for cadres, especially in the health sector.

Background: The low level of breastfeeding in the first hour after birth and exclusive breastfeeding resulted in stunted growth of the baby, especially the weight and length of the baby. The government's first step in an effort to improve the health status of infants is to implement early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD). The results of a preliminary study on 4 infants who experienced an increase in body weight of 150-250 grams were previously carried out by IMD. Objective: Knowing the effectiveness of the IMD implementation on infant weight gain at the Kolelet Health Center Lebak Banten in 2022. Methodology: This research is quasi-experimental research with one-group pretest-posttest design method. The sample in this study were babies born at the Kolelet Health Center Lebak Banten in June 2022 as many as 30 respondents with a total sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the Paired sample t-test before the normality test was carried out. Results: The results of the univariate analysis showed that the baby's weight before the IMD was done on average = 2,965.00 grams and after the IMD was done the average = 3,333.67 grams so that an average difference was found of 368.67 grams. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was an effectiveness of the IMD implementation on the baby's weight gain with p = 0.000. Conclusions and Suggestions: The implementation of IMD is effective in increasing the baby's weight. Maternity mothers and their families are expected to increase their knowledge about the importance of IMD in order to increase their awareness in carrying out IMD to their babies and make mothers motivated to continue giving their breast milk without additional food so that the growth and development of babies can grow optimally and mothers avoid postpartum hemorrhage.

Pregnancy is defined as fertilization or union of spermatozoa and ovum and followed by nidation or implantation. If calculated from the fertility phase until the birth of the baby, a normal pregnancy will take place within 40 weeks or 10 lunar months or 9 months according to the international calendar. Pregnancy lasts in three trimesters, the first trimester lasts 13 weeks, the second trimester 14 weeks (weeks 14 to 27), and the third trimester 13 weeks (weeks 28 to 40)). Pregnancy is a normal process that produces a series of physiological and psychological changes in pregnant women Lower back pain during pregnancy occurs due to changes in pregnancy hormones which increase relaxant hormones (hormones that make muscles relax and become weak), this affects the flexibility of the ligament tissue which ultimately increases joint mobility in the pelvis and will have an impact on spinal and pelvic instability and cause pain. on the back. Other predisposing factors that cause back pain are related to weight gain, changes in body posture due to uterine enlargement, previous back pain and repetitive stretching. Apart from that, back pain is also felt due to incorrect body posture when sitting, standing, lying down and even when doing household activities

Background: Babies with low birth weight have a high risk of death and disability during their growth period. Nurses need to take a role in reducing the risks that may occur in babies with low birth weight. The baby's weight gain is one of the absolute requirements to pursue the appropriate growth stage. Kangaroo Mother Care method is one of the most commonly used intervention options today. However, the difference in the duration of Kangaroo Mother Care implementation is still a matter of debate for many parties. This study aims to analyze the difference in the effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care duration of 1 hour and 2 hours on increasing the weight of babies with low birth weight. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental research using a pre-posttest design approach with control group design. Respondents in this study were babies with birth weight 1500-2500 grams in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in September-November 2020, totaling 30 respondents. Sample selection was done by purposive sampling. Results: This study showed a significant difference in weight gain in low birth weight infants after performing Kangaroo Mother Care with a duration of two hours compared to a duration of one hour. Conclusion: The Kangaroo Mother Care program with a duration of two hours is recommended to be applied to premature babies or low birth weight babies to optimize baby growth and development care.
