Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of massage given by mothers to their 3-month-old infants based on autonomic activity and growth development of 4- and 5- month-old infants one month later. Methods: The subjects were healthy 3-month-old infants and their mothers who were born as full-term, singleton babies. The study design was an inequivalent control group design: 25 mother-child pairs were massaged for one month and 12 mother-child pairs were not massaged. Data were collected twice, once on the first day at 3 months of age and one month later. As indicators of autonomic nervous system activity, axillary temperature before and after massage, heart rate and heart rate variability during massage were measured. As an indicator of growth, body weight was measured after the massage. As an indicator of development, mothers were asked to respond to a questionnaire (KIDS). The axillary temperature, rate of change in heart rate and heart rate variability, and KIDS scores were compared on the first day and one month later. Results: Axillary temperature and LF/HF ratio of children at 1 month were significantly lower after massage (p<0.05). Overall developmental age and expressive language domain of KIDS at 1 month were more developmental than in the non-massage group (p<0.05). Heart rate and HF were not significantly different after 1 month. Conclusion: It was found that when children received massage from their mothers for one-month, cardiac sympathetic nerve function was suppressed and the development of expressive language skills was promoted. 2023-06-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10502 Title: Determinants of Long-acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Use among Women of Reproductive Age in Indonesia: 2017 IDHS Data Analysis Authors: Kurniatin, Lydia Febri; Marsita, Elma; Nugroho, Darojad Nurjono Agung Abstract: Background: The achievement of active Long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) participants for West Kalimantan Province was only 9.54% in 2019 and it has not meet with the main performance target in the Strategic Plan (2015-2019) 15.19%. Research Objectives: To analyze the determinants of the use of LARC by women of reproductive age in West Kalimantan based on the results of the 2017 IDHS data analysis. Research Method: Analytical research with cross-sectional research design and using data from the 2017 IDHS in West Kalimantan. The research sample was all women of reproductive age aged 15-49 years in West Kalimantan who were using contraception, namely 501 respondents. Results: Bivariate analysis illustrates that there is a correlation between age (p value = 0.008), education level (p value = 0.002), parity (p value = 0.009), place of residence (p value = 0.005, economic status (p value = 0.000), and internet access with the status of LARC usage by women of reproductive age in West Kalimantan (p value = 0.000). Other results concluded that there was no relationship between the variables of work (p value = 0.3), knowledge (p value = 0.674), distance to health services (p value = 0.2 ), health promotion by health workers (p value = 0.478), spousal support (p value = 0.8) and the variable number of wanted children with the status of women of reproductive age using LARC in West Kalimantan (p value = 0.173). Conclusion: There is a need to increase education and reach of contraceptive services for husbands by conduction collaborative works with public figure, religious leaders and women's organizations in carrying out health promotions about contraception in various public facilities. 2023-06-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10501 Title: Sexual and Reproductive Health of Rohingya Refugee People In Bangladesh: A Systematic Review Protocol Authors: Hossain, Muhammad Anwar; Sawleshwarkar, Shailendra; ZablotskaManos, Iryna Abstract: Background and Objective: Rohingya refugees are one of the most vulnerable population groups from any perspective, and that certainly includes their sexual and reproductive health and access to appropriate services. This review synthesizes SRH status and needs of Rohingya women of reproductive age, addressing their experiences in accessing services. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this review employs quality assessment tools (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, MMAT, Cochrane Risk of Bias). The search strategy will be comprehensive, spanning prominent databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus. Additionally, a diligent search will extend to gray literature, reference lists, and citations. Synthesis: Employing a narrative synthesis approach, the data synthesis will encompass three critical domains: the SRH status and needs of Rohingya women, the barriers encountered in accessing SRH services, and the effectiveness of existing SRH interventions. Results: The review seeks to provide valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare practitioners, offering a foundation for evidence-based strategies aimed at advancing SRH outcomes among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and similar Asian contexts. The review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023444386) for transparency and efficiency. Conclusion: Have been made to address the health and humanitarian needs of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, there is still limited knowledge about their SRH. 2023-06-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/10500 Title: The Effectiveness of Pre-Mommy Applications to Improving Knowledge, Behavior, and Psychological Conditions in The Preconception Period Women of Reproductive Age Authors: Yulizawati; Fitria, Henni; Oktova, Rafika; Arief, Ikhwan Abstract: Introduction: Preconception care plays a pivotal role in mitigating adverse risk factors that could impact fetal growth and development. Effective preconception education is essential to empower women with the necessary knowledge and awareness. In this context, mobile applications offer a promising avenue for delivering practical preconception education. Objective: This quantitative research study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of providing preconception education through the Premommy application in enhancing the knowledge, behavior, and psychological well-being of women during the preconception period. Methods: Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, the study was conducted at the Religious Affairs Office in Padang City and involved a cohort of 50 participants. Results: Results show an increased percentage of respondents with high knowledge (22%), good preconception behavior (16%), and mild anxiety levels (16%) after the intervention. Analysis test with Wilcoxon obtained p-value <0.05. Conclusion: The study underscores the potential of mobile applications as effective tools for delivering preconception education, ultimately contributing to better-informed decisions and improved preconception health outcomes for women. This research serves as a valuable step towards harnessing digital technology to optimize preconception care. 2023-06-01T00:00:00Z
