Hence, it is imperative to prioritize postnatal care as a means to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 30% of mothers face mortality risks during the puerperium. Unfortunately, many postpartum mothers are unaware of potential issues during this period, leading to delayed self-examinations with healthcare professionals. This lack of awareness stems from insufficient knowledge regarding the danger signs that may arise during the postpartum period. Previous study revealed that a significant number of mothers lack awareness about these danger signs during the puerperium. To enhance the knowledge of postpartum mothers, one effective approach is to provide education. This study aimed to investigate the impact of educational interventions on postpartum mothers' knowledge of danger signs during the postpartum period. The research employed a Quasi-Experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers, and all participants completed the entire study. Data collection involved administering a questionnaire both before and after the educational intervention. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis, and the Wilcoxon test was utilized with a significance level set at α < 0.05. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect of education on increasing postpartum mothers' knowledge of danger signs during the puerperal period.","PeriodicalId":33964,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technology and Public Health Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135484585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was secondary data analysis by utilizing monthly report data from all provinces in Indonesia. Comparison data would account for the monthly trends before and during the pandemic. There was a decrease in contraceptive services between March and April 2020. However, the trend started to increase in June when a one million acceptors campaign was conducted to provide free family planning services in 34 provinces. Injectable (54%) and pills (39%) remain the most favorable contraceptives during the pandemic. IUDs and implants peaked in June 2020 (288,503 users) and September 2020 (214,061 users). The massive campaign of contraceptive services has had a positive impact in increasing the contraceptive users. Contraceptive services are conducted following strict health protocols.

Data processing techniques were carried out using thematic analysis. Based on the analysis results, 4 themes were obtained: factors that affect the compliance of PLHIV in ARV consumption as follows: internal factors: 1) Reluctance to drink because of boredom; 2). Irregularity of drinking due to forgetfulness; 3).

Interprofessional collaborative practice is challenging, especially for public health workers because some health professional education is unprofessional. Therefore, this brief review aims to comprehensively discuss the opportunities and challenges of public health students to perform interprofessional education. Study Review and data collection had been carried out within 2015-2020. Based on our review, IPE has a positive impact on students. Many students showed positive attitudes after participating in the Interprofessional Education session. Additionally, IPE is applicable for identifying benefits, challenges, and areas for modification when implementing and developing competencies. Managing interprofessional work team training is a major challenge. The approach to overcome these challenges can be realized by public health students by applying the basic skills and soft skills of public health workers, including a graphical model of public health. The model has four main tools, and particularly in the behavioral and social sciences, and health administration and policy will be a force to overcome the barriers to implementing IPE in the community. The results of the evaluation provide insight into the experiences of students, staff, facilitators, and their self-perception of competency development. Public health students perceive positively and believe that IPE can improve communication skills, collaboration, self-efficacy, readiness for interprofessional learning, and appreciation of professional roles. However, there is still a need for training modifications and expanding student roles that can improve understanding of primary health concepts and appreciation of interprofessional collaboration. This will increase students' potential to become effective healthcare providers.","PeriodicalId":33964,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technology and Public Health Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88904180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
