We included nine control variables (residence, maternal age, marital, education, prenatal classes, wealth, infant age, sex, and birth weight). All variables were assessed by questionnaire. The study employed a binary logistic regression test in the last stage.ResultsThe result showed that the proportion of EBF among working mothers in Indonesia in 2021 was 51.9%. Based on EIBF, Indonesian working mothers with EIBF were 2.053 times more likely than those without to perform EBF (p < 0.001; AOR 2.053; 95% CI 2.028–2.077).

Environmental Determinants to Pneumonia among Toddler in Depok City in 2013-2022

ABSTRACT Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung which is the main cause of child death in the world, including in Indonesia. Pneumonia may be triggered by host and environmental factors. To date, a few studies have examined the relationship between toddler characteristics, environmental, and demographic factors with the incidence of toddler pneumonia, with inconsistent results. Therefore, we aimed to determine the relationship between the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding, LBW, healthy house, and population density to pneumonia among toddlers in Depok City in 2013-2022. The data such as Incidence of pneumonia, coverage of exclusive breastfeeding, coverage of LBW, coverage of healthy house, and population density were obtained from Depok City Government. The data is secondary data from 2013-2022. The study design used was an ecological study design and the population was all toddlers diagnosed with pneumonia in Depok City. The coverage of pneumonia cases found in toddlers in Depok City has increased in 2022 to reach 55.28%. Our results demonstrated a significant relationship between the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.000, r=-0.497), the coverage of LBW (p=0.011, r=0.242), and the coverage of healthy house (p=0.026, r=0.212). While the population density did not show a significant relationship with the incidence of pneumonia (p=0.099, r=0.158). Exclusive breastfeeding, LBW, healthy house are the underlying relationship for pneumonia among toddlers in Depok City. The results indicate to be an input for planning pneumonia prevention and control programs in Depok City in the future.

The experimental group was administered the Marmet technique, while the control group received oxytocin massages for seven consecutive days. The sample for this study consisted of 60 first-day postpartum mothers, with 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. The research was conducted at PMB Bengkulu City. The research instruments used observation sheets, and data analysis was tested using the t-test and processed using computerization. &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 statistical results obtained showed that there was a significant difference between the groups given the marmet technique and oxytocin massage regarding the smoothness of breast milk, where the marmet technique group had better improvement. There is a relationship between education and parity with breastfeeding fluency but there is no relationship between age and work with breastfeeding fluency. Intervention and parity variables are the most effective variables in increasing the smooth breastfeeding of postpartum mothers.&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;There is an effect of the marmet technique and oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk. It is expected that midwives can provide midwifery care for postpartum mothers by applying the marmet technique and oxytocin massage for the smooth production of breast milk and can be disseminated to the community&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
