BACKGROUND: The puerperium is a period that begins after the birth of the placenta and ends when the uterus organs return to their pre-pregnancy state, which lasts for about 6 weeks or after delivery until 42 days of delivery. This period is a crucial period for mothers and newborns because, at this time, mothers are required to adapt to their new role of being a mother. AIM: This study aims to explore the husband’s support in the taking-hold phase of postpartum primigravida cesarean section and normal labor. METHODS: This study used a qualitative research design employing a phenomenological approach. The purposive sampling method was utilized in selecting 10 informants. Data analysis used a Colaizzi analysis and Nvivo 12 Plus software. RESULTS: The results showed that the husband’s support influenced postpartum mothers in the (1) emotional changes, (2) baby care, (3) wound care, and (4) nutritional fulfillment. CONCLUSION: The husband’s support in the taking-hold postpartum phase was proven to deal with psychological adaptation and help postpartum maternal health care.

This paper discusses the trend of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its role in the healthcare industry. AI is being used to improve efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare. Still, challenges remain, such as privacy and data protection and healthcare workers' hesitancy to replace their work with technology. This study aims to see opportunities for using AI in the health sector and understand existing problems, such as barriers to significant initial investments. This study uses a qualitative approach and focuses on the author's understanding based on secondary sources and personal experience. The study results show that AI can assist health workers in making diagnoses and providing more efficient health services. However, it still has to be used as a tool and cannot replace the role of health workers as a whole.

Tingginya kenakalan remaja disebabkan karena pada masa remaja memasuki kondisi labil sehingga menjadikan remaja rentan terhadap berbagai perilaku negatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa saja jenis kenakalan remaja yang dilakukan dan faktor penyebabnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi dengan mengambil 12 informan yang terdiri dari enam informan inti dan enam informan pendukung yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis perilaku remaja yang ditemukan antara lain penyalahgunaan obat psikotropika, merokok, konsumsi minuman beralkohol, dan seks pranikah. Faktor yang mempengaruhinya adalah internal (individu) dan eksternal (keluarga, lingkungan masyarakat, dan teman sebaya). Pendekatan individu, kelompok, dan keluarga yang berkesinambungan diperlukan untuk menggali permasalahan spesifik terkait kenakalan remaja untuk menentukan penanganan yang tepat.

Objective: Mothers with HIV are likely to transmit the virus to their babies during pregnancy, delivery, or through breastfeeding. According to studies, the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission among mothers that do not receive any form of treatment during pregnancy is approximately 15-45%. In Indonesia, the lack of a prevention program for HIV led to the provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). The policies, financial facilities, the healthcare system, and human resources, including health workers, are factors that influence the PMTCT. This research discusses the perceptions of several doctors and midwives regarding the prevention of mother-to-child transmission at public health centers. Furthermore, information regarding policies and implementation of the PMTCT program at public health centers in Yogyakarta was qualitatively collected through semi-structured interviews. Methods: This research involved 6 participants, comprising of 3 heads of public health centers and 3 midwives as the HIV/AIDS program managers. A total of 5 themes were selected for the interview, namely policies of mandatory HIV testing for pregnant mothers, inadequate knowledge of the virus, need for PMTCT training, infrastructure and facilities, and HIV retesting. Results: Pregnant mothers are at potential risk of exposing health workers to HIV. They are also prone to contracting the virus due to poor educational background and less exposure to health information. Therefore, midwives need Prongs 3 and 4 to avoid contracting the virus while assisting pregnant mothers. Presently, there is a shortage of health promotion media for PMTCT, which include both electronic and print educational media. Therefore, the implementation of HIV testing in Indonesia is mandatory for pregnant mothers at their first antenatal care (ANC). However, despite the importance of conducting this test before labor, there is no regulation to ensure its implementation. Conclusion: The success of HIV mitigation is closely associated with the participation of academicians, policymakers, and community networks in providing collaborative planning strategies for the reduction of its spread, and evaluation of the mitigation result.

Wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices for pregnant women have emerged as a significant innovation in healthcare. This technology enables real-time monitoring of maternal and fetal health, providing data that facilitates faster and more accurate medical decision-making. This article presents a literature review on the development and implementation of wearable IoT for pregnant women and its impact on healthcare services. The study identifies various types of wearable devices, monitored health parameters, and the technical and ethical challenges associated with their use. The findings reveal that wearable IoT can enhance healthcare quality through early detection of pregnancy complications, improved efficiency of medical personnel, and reduced healthcare costs. However, issues such as data privacy, device sustainability, and technological disparities remain major challenges that require further attention. This review provides valuable insights for technology developers, healthcare providers, and researchers to maximize the potential of wearable IoT in supporting maternal health holistically.
