Analysis of the Success of Early Breastfeeding Initiation on Stunting in Infants Aged Less Than 12 Months
Get PDFIntroduction: The incidence of stunting in Tasikmalaya Regency has decreased from 41.7% to 24.4%, but in 2022 there will be an increase of 2.7 points to 27.2%. The Tasikmalaya Regency Government has designated 67 villages as special locations for stunting intervention convergence in 2023. Cikunir Village, Singaparna District, Tasikmalaya Regency is one of the villages with a stunting prevalence that exceeds the set limit of 20%.
Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the success of implementing of early breastfeeding initiation in Cikunir Village, Singaparna District, Tasikmalaya Regency on 2024.
Method: This research method is qualitative with the aim of knowing the implementation of early breastfeeding initiation, mother's knowledge about early breastfeeding initiation, family motivation and the implementation of early breastfeeding initiation in stunted babies less than 12 months.
Result: Based on the results of interviews during the implementation of early breastfeeding initiation, it is known that not a single baby succeeded in finding and sucking its mother's nipple, most did not exclusively breastfeed their babies, most did not know about early breastfeeding initiation, some most do not get motivation from their husbands and families in implementing early breastfeeding initiation and most do not prepare themselves for breastfeeding such as not taking care of their breasts during pregnancy.
Conclusion: This research is expected to increase mothers' knowledge and motivation in carrying out early breastfeeding initiation
Effectiveness of Ginger Herbal Remedies, Ginger Boreh, and Infrared Therapy in Increasing Breast Milk Production
Get PDFIntroduction: The high incidence of stunting and the low prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia are primarily caused by insufficient breast milk production.
Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ginger herbal remedies, ginger boreh, and infrared therapy in increasing breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers.
Methods: This research utilized a quantitative experimental method. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was employed. The subjects were observed before the intervention and re-observed after the intervention. The study population consisted of postpartum mothers in the working area of Cisarua. The sample included 30 breastfeeding mothers, selected through purposive sampling. The sample was filtered from the population based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test revealed a significant p-value of 0.000, which is smaller than the significance threshold (p-value = 0.05 > 0.000). Thus, it can be concluded that the administration of ginger herbal remedies, ginger boreh, and infrared therapy is effective in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers.
Conclusion: This study can serve as a therapy in maternal breastfeeding care and as a foundation for future research development, focusing on method enhancements or innovative approaches

Association between Maternal Nutritional Status Assessed by Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and Infant Birth Weight
Get PDFIntroduction: In neonatal deaths, the WHO records an average of 18 neonatal deaths, maternal deaths in developing countries are related to pregnant women suffering from malnutrition such as KEK. Therefore, malnutrition in pregnant women must be avoided, making pregnant women a target group that requires special attention. There are countries experiencing KEK incidents in pregnant women that lead to maternal and child deaths, while Indonesia is one of the parameters for determining the nutritional status of pregnant women. Nutritional status greatly influences the growth and development of the fetus. Factors related to the nutritional status of pregnant women include maternal knowledge, maternal age, and economic status; these three aspects play a crucial role in meeting nutritional needs and making decisions related to nutritional status.
Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status in pregnant women based on LILA (Upper Arm Circumference) measurements and birth weight.
Method: This research uses a cross-sectional study approach. The population in this study consists of those who have given birth from 2021 to 2023 in the working area of Puskesmas Banggae 1. Sampling was conducted using the Total Sampling technique, with a sample size of 88 respondents. The instrument used for the independent and dependent variables was a checklist, specifically the Spearman Correlation test.
Result: The Spearman Correlation test yielded a significance value of 0.000, less than 0.05, indicating a relationship.
Conclusion: Thus, there is a relationship between Upper Arm Circumference and Birth Weight
The Effect of Workload on Nurse Performance in Hospital Inpatient Settings: A Systematic Literature Review
Get PDFIntroduction: The rising nurse workload and its impact on performance have become a significant concern in hospital inpatient settings. Increased patient numbers and high Bed Occupancy Rates (BOR) have contributed to greater pressure on nursing staff, potentially affecting the quality of care provided.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of workload on nurse performance in hospital inpatient settings through a comprehensive review of existing literature.
Method: A systematic literature review was conducted, utilizing national and international journals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) method was applied in four stages: identification (n = 16,816), screening (n = 60), followed by the application of the PICO framework to determine feasibility and relevance, which resulted in 15 articles being included. The literature search involved accessing electronic databases such as Cochrane, PubMed, and Google Scholar.
Result: The review of 15 articles revealed that nurse performance is significantly influenced by multiple factors, with high workload being one of the main contributors. Of the 15 articles analyzed, 14 confirmed that high workload is a major challenge nurses face in performing their daily tasks, leading to potential declines in performance.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the study confirms that a high workload, especially in hospital inpatient rooms, has a significant negative impact on nurse performance. Addressing workload management through staffing optimization and effective policies is essential to improving the quality of care and ensuring better health outcomes
