Background: Anxiety is a psychological disorder that often occurs during the puerperium. The prevalence of anxiety disorders in the world's population is generally 3-8% with most cases in the productive age. Postpartum anxiety can have an impact on the condition of the mother and baby if not handled properly. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the degree of postpartum anxiety in postpartum mothers at Maternal and Child Hospital (RSIA) of Kendangsari, Surabaya. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Kendangsari Surabaya from July to October 2022. A total of 94 postpartum women patients at RSIA Kendangsari Surabaya were selected for this study. The dependent variable is anxiety. The independent variable is family support. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire. Research data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test. Results: There was a negative and moderate relationship between family support and postpartum anxiety in postpartum mothers. Postpartum mothers who received good family support reduced the degree of postpartum anxiety, and this result was statistically significant (r= -0.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: Family social support has a significant relationship with the degree of postpartum anxiety in postpartum mothers at RSIA Kendangsari Surabaya. Keywords: postpartum period; family support; postpartum anxiety.

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is comprehensive and quality antenatal care provided to pregnant women in the form of antenatal checks to prevent causes of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and children. The decrease in the number of visits of pregnant women to health facilities has resulted in high maternal mortality due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. This study aimed to analyze the effect of education, pregnancy planning, husband's support, and distance to health facilities on the utilization of ANC. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis. Population was pregnant women. Intervention: higher education, planned pregnancies, strong husband support, and distance to close facilities. Comparison: low education, unplanned pregnancies, weak spousal support, and long distances to facilities. Outcome: utilization of ANC. The articles used were obtained from Google Scholar, BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, PubMed, and Science Direct. The keywords used “Antenatal Care” AND “Utilization of ANC” AND “Husband Support and ANC”. The articles used were full text in English from 2009 to 2022. Articles were selected using the PRISMA diagram and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: 14 cross-sectional studies showed that mothers with higher education (aOR=2.93; 95% CI=1.93 to 4.45; p=0.001); planned pregnancy (aOR= 1.99; 95% CI= 1.26 to 3.15; p=0.003); had husband support (aOR=2.89; 95% CI= 1.23 to 6.81; p=0.020); and closer distance to health facilities (aOR=3.07; 95% CI=1.43 to 6.55; p=0.003) had high and significant posibility to utilize ANC. Conclusion: Higher education, pregnancy planning, husband's support, and proximity to health facilities influence the utilization of antenatal care. Keywords: antenatal care, pregnant women, morbidity.

Background: Stunting describes the condition of failure to thrive in children under five years old (toddlers) due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially in the first 1,000 days of life as a golden period with proper nutrition. This study aimed to examine the effect of prelacteal feeding and vitamin A on the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months using a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out using the PRISMA flowchart and the PICO model. Population: children aged 6-59 months. Intervention: giving prelacteal feeding and vitamin A. Comparison: not giving prelacteal feeding and vitamin A. Outcome: stunting. The online databases used are Google Scholar, ProQuest and Elsevier with the keywords “Stunting” AND “Prelacteal feeding” AND “Vitamin A” AND “Children Aged 6–59 Months” AND “Multivariate” AND “Cross Sectional”. There were 15 cross-sectional studies published in 2013-2023 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 15 articles with a cross-sectional study design from different countries, namely Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Indonesia and Sudan in children aged 6-59 months with a total sample of 94,212 research subjects. The results of the meta-analysis showed that there was an effect of not being given prelacteal feeding on the reduced risk of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. Children who were not given prelacteal feeding had 0.57 times the risk of stunting compared to those who were given prelacteal feeding (aOR= 0.57; 95% CI= 0.38 to 0.84; p= 0.005), Children who were not given vitamin A had a risk of being stunted 1.19 times compared to children who were given vitamin A (aOR= 1.19; 95% CI= 1.00 to 1.41; p= 0.050). Conclusion: Children who are not given prelacteal feeding and children who are given vitamin A reduce the risk of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. Keywords: prelacteal feeding, vitamin A, stunting, children aged 6-59 months.

Background: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is still high, especially in children under five. One effort to prevent iron deficiency anemia is exclusive breastfeeding for newborns. This study aims to analyze exclusive breastfeeding on the incidence of anemia in children under five. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO as follows: Population= toddlers aged <5 years; Intervention= exclusive breastfeeding; Comparison= nonexclusive breastfeeding; Outcome= iron deficiency anemia. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including PubMed, Springer Link, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, which were published from 2012 to 2022. The keywords to search for articles are as follows: "Children" AND ("exclusive Breastfeeding" OR "formula" OR "mixed feeding") AND (anemia OR "Iron deficiency"). The articles included in this study were full-text articles with a cross-sectional study design. Articles are collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A meta-analysis of 9 cross-sectional studies from Ethiopia, Taiwan, Bangladesh and China concluded that exclusive breastfeeding is effective in reducing the risk of anemia in children under five. Toddlers who are exclusively breastfed have a risk of developing anemia 0.55 times compared to those who are not exclusively breastfed, and the reduced risk is statistically significant (aOR= 0.55; 95% CI= 0.32 to 0.92; p= 0.020).

Background: Inadequate food intake has been implicated as the major cause of poor nutritional and health outcomes among children under the age of 5. However, little empirical evidence exists on the role of different food classes in promoting good health outcomes among under-5 children. Therefore, this study analysed the effect of food intakes on the occurrence of wasting, stunting and underweight among under-5 children in South Africa. Subjects and Method: The data were the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) collected in 2016 with two stage stratified sampling. The z-scores for wasting, stunting and underweight were the indicators of child’s health outcomes, which were analysed with logistic regression model. Results: The logistic regression results revealed that the probability of stunting decreased with being discharged same time with the mother (0.90), residing in wealthy homes (0.90), and being a boy (0.82), but increased with sharing toilet (0.43), and number of children (0.90). In addition, wasting reduced with milk consumption (0.23), high birth weight (1.00) and number of children (1.50). In comparison with Western Cape, a child has 4.92, 7.29, 11.65 and 8.33 higher chances of being underweight when they reside in Kwazulu-Natal, North West, Gauteng and Limpopo province, respectively, while consumption of fruit and vegetables increased underweight. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is still a nutritional problem on children under 5 in South Africa. It is recommended that government, especially the health department should advise mothers with child health related matters at clinics and encourage them to breastfeed their children and have recommended diet for them. Keywords: health outcomes, underweight, stunting, wasting, child.

However, little empirical evidence exists on the role of different food classes in promoting good health outcomes among under-5 children. Therefore, this study analysed the effect of food intakes on the occurrence of wasting, stunting and underweight among under-5 children in South Africa. Subjects and Method: The data were the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) collected in 2016 with two stage stratified sampling. The z-scores for wasting, stunting and underweight were the indicators of child’s health outcomes, which were analysed with logistic regression model. Results: The logistic regression results revealed that the probability of stunting decreased with being discharged same time with the mother (0.90), residing in wealthy homes (0.90), and being a boy (0.82), but increased with sharing toilet (0.43), and number of children (0.90).
