From our findings, religious leaders play a significant role in influencing the use of modern contraceptives among adolescents, although their role as a source of reproductive health information is limited. Collaborating with local religious leaders can strengthen efforts to promote family planning and achieve sustainable development goals, despite challenges posed by cultural and social norms.

The application provides educational content on healthy pregnancy, maternal nutrition, and stunting prevention strategies, incorporating both text and audio explanations to ensure accessibility for illiterate and visually impaired users. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a single-group pretest-posttest approach involving 50 pairs of brides-to-be with internet-connected Android smartphones. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires administered by trained enumerators, focusing on KAP related to stunting prevention. The results indicated a significant improvement in KAP scores post-intervention (knowledge score increase: 42.59, p < 0.001). The application's unique features, including interactive quizzes and a certification process for marriage registration at the Office of Religious Affairs, contributed to its effectiveness.

Data was collected from three health facilities that had male midwives delivering mothers at the time of the study, and targeted postnatal mothers 18-49 years who had been delivered by a MMW in the last 6 months. Thirty-three mothers participated in the study: 15 in individual in-depth interviews and 18 in three focused group discussions. Collected data were transcribed in word, coded in excel and exported to Atlas.t 7 for analysis. Thematic and content analysis were utilized to derive insights from the data collected. The results showed that perceptions varied significantly across participants. Respondents attached certain beliefs and perceptions that the delivery process is an intimate matter that should only be handled by fellow women. Fear and discomfort when touched by a MMW and discomfort by mothers' partners, came out as strong viewpoints. However, there were strong experiences that MMWs demonstrated supportive, caring, respectful, sympathetic and passionate provision of care.
