The effect of administration of green coconut (Cocos nucifera Linn Viridis Variety) water on reducing dysmenorrhea primary for teenage women in class X at State High School 1 Deli Tua Year 2024

Primary Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that occurs in teenagers, which is usually not associated with other diseases. According to WHO, in 2018 the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea was very high in the world. On average, more than 50% of women in each country experience primary dysmenorrhoea. One way to treat primary dysmenorrhoea is non-pharmacological therapy, namely using green coconut water. Green coconut water contains calcium and magnesium which can reduce muscle tension. Vitamin C, which is a natural anti-inflammatory, relieves menstrual pain by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme which plays a role in the process of forming prostaglandins. This study aims to determine the effect of giving green coconut water on reducing primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescent girls. The research will be carried out at SMA Negeri 1 Deli Tua starting in April-May 2024. The research design uses a quasi-experiment method with one group pretest -posttest design. The sample in this study consisted of 22 respondents who were given green coconut water using a purposive sampling technique. The primary data used in this research was an observation sheet on the primary dysmenorrhoea pain scale before and after being given green coconut water as a research instrument. Based on the results of bivariate analysis using the Chi Square test, it shows that the p-value is 0.000. So it can be concluded that p <0.005, which means there is an effect of giving green coconut water on reducing primary dysmenorrhoea in young women.

Women Education under the Reign of the Mughal Empire

In this communication, the education system of women during Mughal reign is presented. Throughout the Mughal era, women's status was tiered. In the Mughal era, women's education was regarded as less significant than that of males by both Muslims and Hindus. Studying Literature and Education was only available to women from royal class and noble class. Getting education for middle class and lower class women was very stringent due to Purdah System, Early marriage, social taboos and many more reasons. Many Mughal Princess such as Gulbadan Begum, Mumtaz Mahal, Noor Jahan, Jahan Ara, Roshan Ara, Sati al-Nisa Khanam and many more were taught literature and language. Many of them were well versed in poetry. During the Mughal era, women also made significant contributions to education through the establishment of institutions, in addition to their literary works. Some princess and women belonged to noble families had constructed mosque and attached Madrasas to it for imparting education.

Characterizing the description of pelvic congestion syndrome pain: A latent class analysis.

Chronic pelvic pain from pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a complex condition disproportionately affecting women. PCS pain has been described as dull and achy, but emerging research indicates variances in the historical pain depictions. We aimed to identify the groups of pain characteristics experienced by women living with PCS using a latent class analysis and examine their predictive validity on quality of life, pain intensity, and pain management indicators. A secondary data analysis of cross-sectional survey data collected from 160 participants on a Facebook PCS support group was conducted. After evaluating the original 86 unique pain descriptors endorsed on the McGill Pain Questionnaire, descriptors endorsed by more than 30 participants were retained for analysis (n = 34). Results from the latent class analysis identified two latent classes: mild but consistent (44.4%) and intense and debilitating (55.6%). Between the two latent classes, there were clear patterns of pain endorsement to indicate that women in the two groups experience PCS pain differently. Compared to the second latent class (intense and debilitating), women in the first latent class (mild but consistent) experienced milder PCS associated pain and reported a significantly higher quality of life, satisfaction with their health, and less interference with sleep quality and sexual desire. Unfortunately, everyday activities (i.e., exercising, urinating, moving, standing, and working) were more likely to increase pain for women in the second latent class. Diagnosis and treatment of pelvic venous disorders are hindered by outdated evidence on the expected pain depictions. A comprehensive pain profile of PCS is needed to establish the effect on women's lifestyles, quality of life, and mental health.

A Cohort Tree-based Representation and a Multimorbidity Progression Across Pregnancies in Scotland

Pregnancy-related research using routinely collected data is increasing. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are a robust resource because they can provide information on a large population of pregnant women covering prolonged periods at a reasonable cost. Moreover, information is collected prospectively and is thus free from recall bias. However, these data sources also present challenges. Information is gathered for clinical purposes and often recorded in different datasets (prescriptions, hospital admission, demography, birth records, etc.). Therefore, a significant data management effort must be made to convert all the information into structured and meaningful datasets in which identifying the timing of conception, outcomes of interest, multiple pregnancies, and interpregnancy periods can easily be done. In this study, we linked Scottish Maternity Records between 2007 and 2021 (1,575,153 pregnancies, 493,629 women) to demographics data, datasets with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnostic codes for all inpatient stays and day cases in hospitals, and Prescribing Information System (PIS) for data on all medications from primary care. After combining these datasets using R codes, we developed a simple tree-based algorithm that visually represents each woman at each pregnancy and the related health conditions. Presenting data in this way helps identify relevant clinical questions and the temporal relation of different pregnancies. As an example, we identified the progression of multimorbidity through pregnancies and characterised how multimorbidity changes from one pregnancy to another, considering the woman's health conditions and social class.

Edukasi Tanda Bahaya Kehamilan Pada Kelas Ibu Hamil Puskesmas Cipaku

Introduction: The success of maternal health programmes can be assessed through the key indicator of maternal mortality rate (MMR). Maternal mortality is defined as all deaths during the period of pregnancy, labour, and puerperium that are caused by its management but not due to other causes such as accidents or incidentals. Knowledge of danger signs in pregnancy is very helpful in reducing MMR, because by knowing the danger signs in pregnancy a pregnant woman will seek health services more quickly so that risks in pregnancy will be detected and handled earlier. Objective: This community service was carried out to increase the knowledge of pregnant women in the Cipaku Health Centre pregnant women class about danger signs in pregnancy. Method: The method of implementing this community service by providing education in the form of lectures, discussions and answering questions from participants. Result: The results of the pre-test given before the provision of education showed that there were 6 (60%) mothers who were able to answer the pre-test questions correctly. The post test was given after the provision of education, where the results showed that there were 10 (100%) pregnant women who could increase their knowledge about danger signs in pregnancy. Conclusion: Pregnant women are very enthusiastic in participating in activities that include providing education about pregnancy danger signs. Community service activities also increase the knowledge of pregnant women so that pregnant women can detect danger signs in pregnancy and immediately check with health workers if there are danger signs of pregnancy.

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ACTIVENESS PREGNANT WOMEN CLASSES AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF POSTPARTUM KB AT WAVA HUSADA HOSPITAL

Background : The results of a preliminary study conducted on 10 pregnant women, there were only 3 people who could answer about postpartum contraception planning, so researchers were interested in knowing more about the relationship between the activeness of the pregnant women class to knowledge about postpartum contraception planning. Subjects and Methods : This research uses Correlational Analytic Design and Cross Sectional Time Approach. The total population is 157 pregnant women and the samples used are 62 samples. Results : Of this study indicate that the majority of respondents who attended classes for pregnant women were active in attending classes for pregnant women as many as 37 people, the knowledge of pregnant women about family planning after childbirth was dominant in respondents having good knowledge with a value of ≥ 60%, namely 53 people. The results of the Chi Square test showed that there was a relationship between the active participation of pregnant women in classes and the knowledge of pregnant women about postpartum contraception planning as evidenced by a P value of 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion : Most pregnant woman are active and understand well about the knowledge of postpartum KB in pregnant woman’s class activities.

Using Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to explore higher education decision-making for working class women on an access to higher education course

Despite the increasing number of non-traditional students entering higher education (HE) in England, HE choices remain stratified by social class. Mature working class students are a target group of the widening participation policy, yet little attention has been given to their HE choices and decision-making. Through narrative inquiry, this study uses a creative method alongside focus groups and semi-structured interviews, and contributes a class perspective to the HE decision-making for 13 women on an Access to HE course. It links sociological theory to adult education, through a Bourdieusian framework. It evidences structural constraints and perceptions of belonging that impeded choices. A sense of place and feelings of fit (habitus) were significant for destination decisions. However, Access to HE course teachers were positively influential in helping students challenge embedded habitual ways of thinking and practice and in raising self-efficacy. The findings offer explanations as to why participation rates may be increasing but not widening enough. It illuminates how social class differences (intersected by age and gender) are crucial to understanding HE decision-making and places a much-needed focus on mature students to the widening participation and social mobility agenda.

Revisiting class: A feminist political analysis of the Indian Time Use Survey

AbstractThe literature on agrarian change in India has largely employed class categories based upon data on land, assets and occupational status, which collapse women's class relations into those of (mostly male) households heads. In this paper, we interrogate this understanding of class building on the work of Carmen Diana Deere. Employing the first ever national time use survey conducted in India in 2019, we interrogate class as a labour process that intersects with caste and gender. Our analysis of the data using a Marxist‐feminist framework suggests the following. First, there exist intra‐household gendered differences in class locations. This calls to question theoretical frameworks that assign a cohesive class location to all household members that underlie data collection in India and elsewhere. Second, individuals participate in multiple labour processes depending on their caste and gender. Hence, they may be subsumed to capital in varied and sometimes contradictory ways. Finally, we find that both men and women engage in reproductive labour in addition to other forms of labour, which varies by caste categories. This finding further underscores and supports previous research on the importance of an expanded conception of work that includes reproductive labour. In sum, we argue for a more complex understanding of class in India, one that incorporates its caste and gender dimensions.

Latent Class Analysis of Dietary Intake and Organic Food Consumption in a Midwest Cohort of Pregnant Individuals

Introduction: The objective of the study was to describe food consumption patterns over the trimesters throughout pregnancy in a prospective obstetric cohort. We planned to characterize patterns of overall food and organic food consumption into groups using a latent class analysis (LCA). Methods: A Midwest pregnancy cohort self-reported dietary food intake and percent of foods of each type that they consumed which were organic on a questionnaire. This was administered multiple times during pregnancy. The food frequency questionnaire was designed for this study and contained questions related to 89 food categories. The questionnaire was completed once in each trimester, after they were enrolled into the study. The cohort has responses across the 13 food domains were grouped by a LCA process demonstrating separation of the cohort by higher or lower consumption of fruits, vegetables, and berries and percentage of those foods where organics were consumed. The organic percentage in each food was categorized as low (0-10%) and significant (anything > 10%). Demographic characteristics were compared between LCA groups. Results: Valid responses were analyzed from 359 participants. The LCA best model grouped participants into 3 groups: I- high fruits, vegetables and berries, with significant organic use; II- high fruits, vegetables, and berries, with low or no organic use; and III- low fruits, vegetables, and berries with low organic use . Using this grouping, there were 84 (23.4%) in Class I, 153 (42.6%) in Class II, and 122 (34.0%) in Class III. There were significant differences in racial distribution in the groups, with lower rates of Caucasians in Class II and higher rates of Hispanic women in reporting Class I. We observed that 50% of African American women were grouped into Class III. Women in class III tended to be younger (p=0.01), unmarried (52.4%, p<0.001), have less than college degree attainment (p=0.0005), be of lower income (p<0.001), and be a current smoker (p=0.03). -While not statistically significant, living in an urban area was higher for those in Class III than in Class I or II. - Participants living in rural areas were reported significant organic food consumption 18.6%, compared to 24.1% of those in suburban areas and 23.1% in urban areas (p=0.36). 23.1% of rural-dwelling participants were grouped in Class III compared to 31.9% of those in suburban areas and 35.3% of those in urban areas. (p=0.36). Conclusion: Self-reported food consumption in this pregnancy cohort was categorized in 3 classes based on consumption of fruits, vegetables, and berries and the percentage of foods consumed that were organic. These Classes were associated with multiple maternal characteristics. This may indicate opportunities for dietary education interventions for pregnant individuals.

Dynamics of Gender and Health in Bama’s Sangati and Kadeeja Mumtas’ Barsa

Gender and health are two separate disciplines having a strong connection with each other. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), gender is a core social determinant of health and health inequalities. These health inequalities are associated with the lifestyle, accessibility and care provided to men and women. In most Indian societies, women are perceived as child-bearers, caregivers having no say in the communities they live in. Moreover they have been shoved into margins and an indifferent attitude is formed for them. From the viewpoint of gender, class or ethnic disparities women in India face a multitude of health and hygiene problems. This marginalization causes inequitable access to essential human needs such as water, proper health and sanitary facilities. Consequently women have poorer health than men. Another form in which women are suppressed and oppressed are sexual harassment, violence, physical abuse, occupational and environmental hazards due to which they not only suffer from physiological problems but it also affects their mental health like psychological stress and strain. These health issues deteriorate their well- being. Due to casteism prevalent in our society the so- called power holders exploit Dalit women treating them as lower than humans and ‘other’. Bama’s Sangati is a look at the part of the lives of those Paraiya women. Kadeeja Mumtas’ novel Barsa is a commentary on the position of women in Muslim society focusing on the illegal practices like circumcision. This paper aims to examine the issues which the Tamil Christian Dalit women and Muslim women face in terms of health and sexuality as discussed in Bama’s Sangati and Kadeeja Mumtas’ Barsa through depicting a critique of several generations of women.

Gender-specific analysis of social connection patterns and risk of dementia in community-dwelling older people.

Poor social connection is considered a risk factor for dementia. Since socializing behaviors may cluster together or act compensatorily, we aimed to investigate social connection patterns and their association with dementia, for men and women separately. A total of 12,896 community-dwelling older adults (mean±SD age: 75.2±4.3 years, 54% women) without major cognitive impairment were included. Latent class analysis was conducted using 24 baseline social connection indicators. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the association between latent classes and incident dementia over 12 (median: 8.4) years follow-up. Three distinct classes were identified in both genders: strong social connections with an intermediate friend-relative network (Class 1: men, 43.8%; women, 37.9%), weak social connections (Class 2: men, 29.6%; women, 27.4%), and strong social connections with a larger friend-relative network (Class 3: men, 26.6%; women, 34.7%). Compared to Class 1, men in Class 2 (HR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.08-1.77) and women in Class 3 (HR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.01-1.60) had an increased risk of dementia. Dementia risk varies with different social connection patterns among older men and women. Three distinct social connection patterns were identified based on 24 indicators. These patterns were related to dementia risk differently in men and women. In men, a weak social connection pattern was associated with a higher dementia risk. In women, a strong social connection with a relatively larger friend-relative network was associated with a greater dementia risk.

Modeling the Contribution of Multiple Micronutrient Fortification of Salt to Daily Nutrient Intake Among the Ethiopian Population

BackgroundSalt is an affordable commodity and has wide coverage regardless of economic and social status and, hence, could be suitable vehicle for multiple micronutrient fortification. ObjectivesThis study aimed to simulate the contribution folic acid and zinc fortification of iodized salt to nutrient intake among the Ethiopian population. MethodsThe 2013 Ethiopian National Food Consumption Survey and various food composition tables were used to estimate baseline individual-level micronutrient intake. Usual intake was estimated using the Simulating Intake of Micronutrients for Policy Learning and Engagement macro tool. Discretionary salt consumption was calculated from total salt intake estimated using urinary sodium excretion. Fortificant addition rates were set to obtain maximum nutrient intake while simultaneously constraining that population with intake above the tolerable upper intake level to <5%. Addis Ababa and Somali (N = 2271), the regions with relatively the lowest and highest micronutrient deficiency prevalence in Ethiopia, were selected. ResultBaseline median intake of Zn was below the estimated average requirement for all demographic groups. Inadequate Zn intake ranged from 73% to 99%, the highest prevalence being observed among women in lower class of wealth quintiles from Somali region. Dietary folate inadequacy was as low as 2% among men in Addis Ababa but almost all (99%) women from Somali region had inadequate folate intake. Calculated discretionary salt intake was 7.5 g/d for adult men and women and 3.4 g/d for children. With addition 0.8 mg Zn and 30 μg of folic acid per gram of salt, multiple salt fortification is estimated to reduce Zn inadequacy by 38 percentage points in urban areas and19 percentage points in rural areas. Modeled reduction in folate inadequacy were 18% in urban areas and 22% in rural areas. ConclusionsMultiple salt fortification could be an effective approach to address micronutrient adequacy in Ethiopia given efficacious, technological, and economical feasibility.

Lin Huiyin, House Beautiful, and women’s place in architectural culture in the United States in the 1920s

Scholarly discussions of the experiences that Lin Huiyin would have had as a student in the United States between 1924 and 1928 have yet to include the experiences she might have had outside the classroom that educated her about contemporary and historic architecture in the country and about the role that women at the time had in understanding and shaping it. The shelter magazine House Beautiful provides an overlooked indication of the exposure to and participation in architectural culture available to middle class and wealthy women in the United States in the years in which Lin Huiyin studied at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale. Understanding how the magazine, which was written largely by and for women, celebrated the architecture of the country’s own past, as well as of China, and the way in which it provided a stepping-stone to either a literary or an architectural career suggests the encouragement Lin may have received from the women she met and how they in turn may have been inspired to take an interest in the field, at a time when there were very few female architects.

Unpacking the 'black box' of suicide: A latent class analysis predicting profiles of suicidal ideation in a longitudinal cohort of adolescent girls from India.

Indian women account for 37% of global suicide-related deaths. As suicide is a growing concern among adolescent girls, identifying the social determinants of suicide with this group targeted prevention. We selected social determinants that include intersectional identities and broader syndemics; we then used longitudinal data from a prospective cohort of adolescent girls from Northern India to classify them into unique profiles across multiple socioecological levels. Girls aged 10-19 (N = 11,864) completed self-report questionnaires measuring socio-demographic and trauma exposure variables. At three-year follow-up, they were asked to indicate current suicidal ideation (SI). We conducted latent class analysis (LCA) to classify profiles and then predicted risk of current SI at three-year follow-up. LCA supported a four-class solution: a 'privileged' class (Class 1; n = 1,470), a 'modal' class (Class 2; n = 7,449), an 'intergenerational violence' class (Class 3; n = 2,113), and a 'psychological distress' class (Class 4; n = 732). Classes significantly predicted odds ratios (OR) for SI at follow up; women in Class 4 were associated with the greatest likelihood of SI (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.38, 2.47), suggesting that psychological distress factors confer greatest risk. Results of the distinct classes of risk and protective factors indicate targets for policy-level interventions. Disrupting cycles of psychological distress and substance use, increasing access to behavioral interventions, and intervening to mitigate intergenerational violence may be particularly impactful with this population.

Abstract PO5-11-04: Sexuality and fertility profiles, Health-Related Quality of Life and other living conditions of young breast cancer survivors in France: a national cross-sectional study by the French Network of Cancer Registries (FRANCIM)

Abstract Introduction In recent decades, the living conditions of breast cancer (BC) survivors have received particular attention, especially among the youngest who face problems related to fertility and sexuality. The main objective of this population-based study was to identify clinical, social and economic determinants of sexuality, fertility and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and describe other living conditions of young BC survivors in France. Methods Non-metastatic invasive BC women diagnosed from 2009 to 2016, aged ≤ 40 years at diagnosis were identified through the FRANCIM Network. Participants completed self-reported questionnaires including standardized measures (sexuality, HRQoL, anxiety, depression, social deprivation and social support), and fertility issues from June 2021 to December 2022. Sexuality profiles were identified by ascending hierarchical classification and fertility profiles were identified by latent class models. The main determinants of HRQoL were identified using mixed regression model. Results In total, 563 BC survivors from 14 French cancers Registries participated in the survey (response rate of 31%). The mean age at diagnosis was 35.9 (SD=3.8). Main tumors characteristics were AJCC stage 2-3 (61%), Hormone Receptor positive (76%), HER2 positive (24%), and Tumor grade ≥2 (91%). Patients underwent lumpectomy (72%), chemotherapy (85%), radiotherapy (85%), endocrine therapy (71%) and targeted therapies (23%). More than 5 years after diagnosis, 48% reported sexual dysfunction. About 47% of women received information about the impact of BC treatment on fertility, and 34% about fertility preservation. Among 18% of women who had a pregnancy project at diagnosis, 35% became pregnant after treatment. The number of spontaneous pregnancies decreases from 97% before diagnosis to 36% after treatment whereas the number of pregnancies with Medically Assisted procreation increases respectively from 8% to 10%. The average score of general health scale was 60.9. The highest average score of HRQoL was in the physical functioning scale (82.2) and the lowest was in vitality (48.2). Ascending hierarchical clustering allowed to identify 3 distinct sexuality profiles from worse sexual function to better respectively: profile 1 (20%), profile 2 (30%) and profile 3 (50%) of the studied population. Social deprivation and treatment with endocrine therapy (especially tamoxifen) were associated with an increased risk of sexual dysfunction. We identified 3 classes using a latent class model. In class 1, women had a pregnancy project at diagnosis but few of them had children and were referred to a reproduction specialist. At the end of treatments, the pregnancy rate was high in this group. Class 2 includes women who have a pregnancy project at diagnosis and who have given up at the end of treatment. At diagnosis, women in class 3 had children and had no specific pregnancy plans and they were menopausal at time of study with therefore a low rate of pregnancy after treatments. Classes differed in age at diagnosis (p=0.0000), fertility preservation (p=0.0000), information received about treatment impact on fertility (p=0.0002) and fertility preservation (p=0.0000), comorbidities (p=0.0040) and income (p=0.0000). The main determinants of general health were anxiety (p=0.0006), depression (p&amp;lt; 0.0001) and comorbidities (p= 0.0065). Conclusions This study showed that more than five years after the diagnosis of BC, almost one in two young BC survivors, diagnosed before 40 years old, experienced difficulties related to sexuality. Specific interventions in the field of supportive care (recourse to specialists, psychological support and improvement of communication within the couple) for this population should focus in managing sexual dysfunction and improving HRQoL. It would also be suitable for women to receive the necessary information on fertility at diagnosis at diagnosis in order to prepare them for after cancer.

From Lavender Menace to Queer Nation: the transformation of lesbian identity in the baby boom era

Women of the early baby boom years in the U.S. came out into an environment in which same-sex desire was stigmatized and criminalized. For working-class lesbians, the bar scene provided an environment in which women could find companionship and a way to live a life decoupled from traditional heterosexual roles. For middle class women, bar life was fraught with legal and social risk, and some–mostly white–women worked to establish a more “socially acceptable” communal life through organizations such as the Daughters of Bilitis. As the women’s movement flourished in the late 1960s and 1970s, women born in the early years of the baby boom (1946–1950) created distinctive lesbian feminist cultures and identities. In contrast to early baby boomers, women born at the tail end of the baby boom (1960–1964) came out in a vastly different cultural context. Second-wave feminism had already peaked, the AIDS epidemic and debates about sexuality changed the context for lesbian identity and activism, and organizing by women of color created the development of an intersectional view of lesbian identity and activism. Through an analysis of feminist magazines, newsletters, and texts of the late 1960s through the 1990s, this paper explores the cultural contexts through which radical lesbian feminist identities arose and, for a period, flourished in the U.S. By the end of the 1980s and 1990s, as second-wave feminism declined, lesbian feminist identity shifted. Over the last decades of the twentieth century, new queer forms of identification emerged, coupled with a decline of lesbian identification among younger people. I argue that these new forms represent both continuity and disruption with earlier forms of lesbian identification.

Prevalence and Trends in Prepregnancy Overweight and Obesity in Northern Iceland 2004-2022

Prepregnancy overweight and obesity is an increasing public health issue worldwide, including Iceland, and has been associated with higher risk of adverse maternal and birth outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in prepregnancy weight amongst women in North Iceland from 2004 to 2022, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in this population. This retrospective cross-sectional study included all women who gave birth at Akureyri Hospital in North Iceland between 2004 and 2022 (N = 7410). Information on age, parity, height, and prepregnancy weight was obtained from an electronic labour audit database. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from self-reported height and weight, and the median BMI and proportions in each of the six BMI categories were calculated for four time periods. Median BMI increased significantly from 24.5 kg/m2 in 2004-2008 to 26.2 kg/m2 in 2019-2022. On average, BMI increased by 0.15 kg/m2 with each passing year (p<0.001). The prevalence of normal weight decreased from 53% to 40% and the entire BMI distribution shifted towards a higher BMI. The proportion of women in obesity class I (BMI 30.0 - 34.9) increased from 12.8% to 17.3%, the proportion of women in obesity class II (BMI 35.0 - 39.9) doubled (3.7% to 8.1%) and tripled in obesity class III (BMI ≥ 40.0; 1.6% to 4.8%). Prepregnancy weight of women in Northern Iceland has gradually increased over the last 19 years and 30% of pregnant women are now classified as obese. Further studies on the subsequent effects on maternal and birth outcomes are needed, with a focus on strategies to decrease adverse effects and reverse this trend.

Small group classes with pregnancy cadres (kekasih) can improve knowledge and attitudes about exclusive breastfeeding among third-trimester pregnant women on the remote Island of Enggano, Bengkulu Province

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Background&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;: One of the government programs that focuses on the first 1000 days of life is exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months, but there is often a failure of exclusive breastfeeding at the age of 0-3 days due to pre-lactal feeding, so education during pregnancy is needed to improve the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women through KEKASIH (Small Group of Cadres with Pregnant Women) classes. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Objectives&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; This study aims to determine the effectiveness of KEKASIH classes on knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women trimester III in remote areas of Enggano Island, Bengkulu Province in 2023.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Methods:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Quasi-experimental research design with pre- and post-test and control group. Intervention in the form of KEKASIH class, which is a modified class for pregnant women divided into small groups with cadres as facilitators.

The sample was trimester III pregnant women a total of 50 people consisting of the treatrimesterent group is pregnant women in KEKASIH class, the control group is pregnant women who receive conventional health promotion.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Results:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The results of the study showed that there was a difference in the mean knowledge score before and after exclusive breastfeeding education through KEKASIH class from 27.36 to 49.04, p=0.00. There is no difference in the mean attitude score before and after exclusive breastfeeding education in the control group from 28.16 to 28.96 p=0.00.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; KEKASIH Class is more effective in improving mothers' knowledge and attitudes about exclusive breastfeeding with a value of p=00.
