https://ojs.poltekkes-malang.ac.id/MAJORY/article/view/5302
<p><em>Early childhood often experiences various forms of physical, verbal, mental, and sexual violence that can interfere with their development. Data from the Malang Regency Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service in 2023 recorded that the number of victims of sexual violence against children increased twofold due to children's lack of understanding of sex education. This study aims to develop the Answer and Jump game as an educational media to prevent sexual harassment in children aged 4-5 years. The method used is Research & Development research with 10 steps of development procedures, (1) Potential and Problems, (2) Data Collection, (3) Product Design, (4) Design Validation, (5) Design Revision, (6) Product Trial, (7) Product Revision, (8) Usage Trial, (9) Product Revision, (10) Mass Production. Of the 10 steps, the researcher carried out up to step 7 with a sample of 18 children aged 4-5 years at the Mutiara Bunda PAUD Post, Malang City. The research instrument used a product assessment questionnaire. The results of the study showed that the developed media was categorized as very feasible, with assessments from material experts (92%), media experts (98%), and user responses (87%). Thus, the Answer and Jump game is feasible to use, but further testing is needed on wider and more diverse groups.</em></p>Irsalyna SalsabillahIka YudiantiDesy Dwi Cahyani

<p><em>Stunting is a condition where a child's growth is inhibited and they do not achieve their optimal physical and cognitive growth potential. Children who experience stunting can be detected from the age of 0-5 years. The mother's physical readiness during pregnancy through routine Antenatal care, taking iron tablets at least 90 tablets during pregnancy, carrying out Early Initiation of Breastfeeding after giving birth and providing exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, the mother's psychological condition and family support can play a role in preventing stunting. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of family support for pregnant women as an effort to prevent stunting. The research was conducted in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan in 2024. This type of research is qualitative research with an in-depth interview method. The research sample was taken using the multistage random sampling method adjusted to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The research participants were 5 mothers who had children aged 0-2 years with an age range of 20-35 years and had met the research inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of data processing were analyzed to assess the role of family support for mothers during pregnancy as an effort to prevent stunting. The results of the study showed that all participants (100%) knew about stunting in children and received family support during pregnancy. The form of family support varies for each mother, such as accompanying the mother during pregnancy check-ups and childbirth, providing care and nutrition during pregnancy and childbirth, preparing transportation plans to health facilities to avoid delays in handling childbirth. The existence of family support for mothers shows that mothers can go through their pregnancies comfortably, have their nutritional needs met and receive regular pregnancy check-ups so that their pregnancies are always healthy and free from stunting. Family support given to pregnant women during pregnancy has a significant influence in preventing stunting in children. Family support for pregnant women is expected to be continued until the child is born and care during growth and development as well as the importance of education from health workers in health services</em></p>Nur Rohmah PrihatantiSuryanti SuryantiSyarniah Syarniah

https://ojs.poltekkes-malang.ac.id/MAJORY/article/view/5360
<p><em>Primigravida pregnant women are very vulnerable to psychological disorders. Pregnant women who do not get support from their husbands may experience distress during pregnancy. Psychological problems in pregnancy can affect the welfare of the fetus in the womb by increasing the risk of its growth and development so that it is born with low birth weight and disability. This study aims to determine the relationship between husband support and the level of prenatal distress in primigravida pregnant women. The research design used correlation analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The population was all primigravida pregnant women at TPMB Siti Rugayah Pakis District who were recorded in the cohort register from July 2023-May 2024 with a total sampling technique of 28 respondents. The instrument used husband support questionnaire and NuPDQ. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test with an error rate (? = 0.05). Most of the respondents' husbands were in the supportive category (59.4%) and almost half of the respondents had mild prenatal distress levels as many as 12 respondents (37.5%). Spearman test results showed no significant relationship between husband support and the level of prenatal distress in primigravida pregnant women (p value>0.05). There is no significant relationship between husband support and the level of prenatal distress in primigravida pregnant women. Pregnant women who get support from their husbands have a tendency to experience mild prenatal distress. Promotive efforts to minimize the level of prenatal distress are by carrying out anxiety screening in pregnant women using pregnant women's monitoring sheets in the MCH book and launching a pregnant women's class program that is at least once attended by husbands to increase husband's support for his wife's pregnancy</em></p>Maulidatul IlmiJupriyono JupriyonoHening Ryan Aryani

https://ojs.poltekkes-malang.ac.id/MAJORY/article/view/5254
<p><em>Premature rupture of membranes (KPD) is one of the important complications and problems in obstetrics which is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. According to WHO, the incidence of KPD ranges from 12%-14%. In Indonesia, KPD ranges from 4.4-7.6% of all pregnancies. At RSD Dr. Soebandi in 2023, the highest referral case is KPD with an incidence of 17.4%. The aim of the study was to determine the risk factors of smoking and leukocyte levels with the incidence of PROM at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. The research was a quantitative study with an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 125 postpartum mothers, and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in 95 respondents. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. The measurement tool was a questionnaire, and data analysis was conducted using the Prevalence Ratio test. 77.90% of mothers giving birth were passive smokers, 77.90% of women gave birth with normal leukocyte levels, 50.50% of women gave birth with premature rupture of membranes, analysis of passive smokers with the incidence of KPD was found to be RP 1.2 with 95% CI (0.559-3.948), abnormal leukocyte levels with the incidence of PROM were found to be RP 1.6 with a 95% CI (1.085-8.893). Passive smoking is not a risk factor for premature rupture of membranes, while abnormal leukocyte levels carry a 1.6 times greater risk compared to women giving birth with normal leukocyte levels. It is expected that pregnant women will improve personal hygiene and become more proactive in getting their pregnancies checked as a preventive measure against the increase in leukocyte levels during pregnancy.</em></p>Nurul WahdaGumiarti GumiartiSusilawati Susilawati

<p><em>Pregnant women often experience physiological discomfort in the second and third trimesters, one of which is leg edema. Leg edema that occurs in pregnant women is caused by uterine pressure which disrupts venous return and gravity which affects fluid collection. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of warm water soaking versus warm water soaking with aromatic ginger and epsom salt in reduce leg edema in pregnant women in trimesters II and III at the Lawang Health Center. This study used a quasi-experimental design, with a sample of 18 pregnant women divided into two groups a control group and an intervention group, with purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The Wilcoxon test found a significant difference in the effectiveness of warm water soaking and warm water soaking with aromatic ginger and epsom salt in reducing leg edema in pregnant women in trimesters II and III (p-value = 0.008 < 0.05) At Lawang Health Center. Pregnant women find that bathing their feet in warm water with an aromatic ginger and epsom salt works better than soaking warm water to reduce foot edema. This study will motivate pregnant women and healthcare providers to create more effective treatments for reduce leg edema in pregnancy</em></p>Sekar Maharani Shila PutriIbnu FajarAri Kusmiwiyati

https://ojs.poltekkes-malang.ac.id/MAJORY/article/view/5399
<p>Beragam persepsi mengenai perilaku seksual pranikah timbul akibat tingginya rasa ingin tahu pada remaja baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Hal ini berkaitan dengan sumber informasi yang diakses khususnya tentang kesehatan reproduksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan jenis kelamin dan sumber informasi tentang kesehatan reproduksi dengan persepsi remaja mengenai perilaku seksual pranikah. Metode penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif menggunakan desain analitik korelasional. Jumlah sampel 184 (92 laki-laki dan 92 perempuan) kelas XI SMAN 6 Malang yang diperoleh melalui teknik Proportional random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan kuisioner yang telah dilakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi Square (p-value 0,000) dilanjutkan uji Koefisien Kontingansi (r =0,416) artinya terdapat hubungan jenis kelamin dengan persepsi remaja mengenai perilaku seksual pranikah dengan kekuatan hubungan sedang. Uji Spearman Rank (p-value 0,001; r =0,248) artinya terdapat hubungan sumber informasi tentang kesehatan reproduksi dengan persepsi remaja mengenai perilaku seksual pranikah dengan kekuatan hubungan lemah. Sehingga, jenis kelamin dan sumber informasi tentang kesehatan reproduksi yang diakses oleh remaja sama-sama berhubungan dengan persepsi mengenai perilaku seksual pranikah. Perlu pemahaman lebih dalam baik pada remaja laki-laki maupun perempuan tentang kesehatan reproduksi untuk menghindari persepsi mendukung terhadap perilaku seksual pranikah atau seks bebas.</p>Hasbiya MaghfuryEndah Kamila Mas'udahFarida Halis D.K

<p><em>One of the changes in the physiology of pregnant women is changes in blood circulation. The most common circulatory system problem is hypertension. Pregnancy is one of the risk factors for high blood pressure or hypertension. In pregnancy there is an increase in sensitivity to vasopressor substances which leads to an increased risk of hypertension. Preecampsia is the most common hypertensive condition and is the second leading cause of maternal mortality in Indonesia. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of prenatal exercise on blood pressure in pregnant women at the Kraton Pasuruan Health Center.</em> <em>The research design used Quasi Experiment with one group pre test-post test design. The population amounted to 12 pregnant women using purposive sampling technique obtained a sample of 10 pregnant women. The research instrument used an observation sheet to measure blood pressure before and after prenatal exercise which was done once a week for 4 weeks. From the results of the Wilcoxon test, the p value = 0.005 (p < 0.05) that there is an effect of prenatal exercise on the mean blood pressure after prenatal exercise, blood pressure is lower than the mean before prenatal exercise</em>. <em>Prenatal exercise is a physical exercise that increases blood flow and dilates blood vessels so that it is likely to reduce blood pressure in pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women are recommended to do prenatal exercises regularly. </em></p>Sania Bela SurayaDidien Ika SetyariniNi Wayan Dwi RosmalawatiDuhita Dyah Apsari
