Title: Factors Associated with The Incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) n Third Trimester Pregnant Women In The Working Area of The Lubuk Begalung Health Center, Padang City Authors: Agustianov, Indah; Lestari, Yuniar; Lisa, Ulfa Farrah; Rita, Rauza Sukma; Hudzaifah, Hindun Mila Abstract: Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a global prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnancy ranging from 35-75%. In Padang City’s Lubuk Begalung Region, the 2022 health profile indicated a 12.9% incidence of CED among 1,268 pregnant women. Several factors influence CED incidence, including age, economic status, education, pregnancy spacing, parity, employment, and antenatal care (ANC) visits. Purpose: To identify factors associated with CED among third-trimester pregnant women in the Lubuk Begalung Health Center Working Area. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study involved 57 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Inclusion criteria were third-trimester pregnant women aged 24-40 weeks who could communicate effectively, excluding those who could not be contacted after three attempts. Data collection involved interviews using a structured questionnaire, and analyses were performed using chi-square and logistic regression with a 95% confidence interval. Results: CED was observed in 21 respondents (36.8%). Key factors included age <20 or >35 years (59.3%), low economic status (55.0%), low education level (53.8%), unemployment (51.5%), and ≤3 ANC visits (56.5%). Age was the dominant factor (p = 0.005, b = 6.623). Conclusion: Age, education, occupation, and ANC visits were significantly associated with CED, while economic status, pregnancy spacing, and parity were not. Future studies should explore additional factors influencing CED.

Title: Effectiveness of Mobile Applications in Mental Health Counseling for Pregnant Women : A Systematic Review Authors: Ririn; Putri, Aulia; Sigalingging, Muslimah; Rohani; Astuti, Andari Wuri; Mahardya, Rizky Tsalatshita Khair Abstract: Background: Mental health technology, especially versatile mobile applications, can aid in treating prenatal depression, which affects 12% of pregnant women. Objective: This systematic review aims to gather the latest evidence on the effectiveness of mobile applications for mental health support among expectant mothers. Methods: The methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, utilizing a systematic review design. The PICOS framework guided the search strategy. A literature search was performed using PubMed, Wiley, and ScienceDirect. The inclusion criteria encompassed seven original, English-language studies published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on the effectiveness of mobile applications in mental health counseling for pregnant women. All studies employed a randomized controlled trial design. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool was used to assess the quality of each study. Results: The articles were sourced from Germany, Singapore, Brazil, China, Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea. All seven studies utilized a randomized controlled trial design with quantitative research. The risk of bias assessment revealed five studies with concerns and two with low risk. Pregnant women using these apps reported lower levels of depression and anxiety, along with enhanced social support, indicating that these applications offer a cost-effective alternative for mental health treatment. Conslusion: App-based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness training, have been shown to improve mental health and prenatal care. While the results are promising, some studies suggest further evaluation is needed to fully understand the efficacy of technology-based interventions. Overall, mobile app technology holds significant potential for improving perinatal health outcomes and supporting the mental

Title: Impact of IUFD on Mothers in Developing Countries: A Rapid Review Authors: Jesus, Helena Marques de; Pratiwi, Cesa Septiana Abstract: Background: Losing a baby to IUFD has a profound emotional impact on mothers. This not only affects their mental health and quality of life but also emphasizes the importance of psychological support in the recovery process. Objectives: This review aims to explore recent evidence on the biological, psychological, and social impact of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) on mothers in developing countries. Methods: This review involved searching databases from 2015 to 2023 through sources such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley, as well as search engines such as Google Scholar and Research Rabbit. Articles were selected with the help of Mendeley and evaluated using the JBI Critical Appraisal Guidelines for Qualitative Research. Of the 314 articles found, 5 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: This review identified three main themes: biological impact (disturbing physical changes and danger warning signs), psychological impact (mothers' emotional responses), and social impact (moral support, negative stigma, health workers' misbehavior, and the need for better social protection). Conclusions: To provide adequate emotional support as well as clear and comprehensive information about the causes and next steps after fetal death, health workers need to be equipped with skills and knowledge. In situations that require difficult information delivery, midwives also need to have the sensitivity and skills to help parents manage and respond appropriately to their emotions.
