One of the physical changes during pregnancy is their breasts that usually get larger and heavier, the areola mammae becomes darker and the nipples get bigger. These conditions cause the breasts need to be treated in preparation for exclusive breastfeeding. However, in reality, there are many pregnant women who have not done much breast care due to their ignorance of its importance and lack of information. The aimed this study was to identify the effective of audio-visual and demonstration method for improving knowledge, attitude, and skills of breast care among pregnant women in Aceh. This study was used a pre-test post-test design with a control group (37 of pregnant women) and intervention group (36 of pregnant women). The intervention group was given health education about breast care using demonstration method, while the control group was given by watching videos. The instruments used in this study was a questionnaire about breast care and checklist to assess breast care skill. The instruments was developed based on the existing theory. Data was analyzed using t-independent test (p<0.05). There were significantly difference of knowledge (72.83 + 8.48 vs. 45.43 +12.06), attitudes (58.76 +6.20 vs. 46.83 + 4.58), and skill (73.74 + 7.98 vs. 56.17+ 10.62) of breast care between intervention and control group among pregnants women (P<0.001). Furthermore, the scores of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of breast care among pregnant women using demonstration (intervention groups) method were more higher compared pregnant women using audio-visual method (control groups).

Abstract Background Almost one-third of children under 5 years old in Indonesia suffer from stunting. Stunting can be prevented optimally during pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition and reproductive health education of pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from four different villages in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n = 97) received 2 h of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (four or five mothers per group) every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. This interactive education was given by facilitators using techniques such as lectures, role-playing, simulation, and games. The control group (n = 97) received regular health care services. A structured questionnaire was applied to collect data consisting of maternal characteristics, nutritional and reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the intervention and control groups. Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square analysis. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group indicated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and reproductive health after receiving education. The pre-test and post-test mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1 for overall knowledge, 40.2 and 49.0 for attitudes, and 36.2 and 40.2 for practices, respectively. In the control group, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for these three variables. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the post-test mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) in the pre-test. Conclusion Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed for large-scale implementation by optimising collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.

Introduction: Alcoholism is a major problem in developing countries like India. Alcoholism affects not only the individual but also his family and the society. Spouses of alcoholics are among those who suffer the maximum consequences of alcoholism and its effects. Aim: To find the effect of health promotional strategies (Yoga and Health education) on Quality of Life (QOL) of the spouse of alcoholics. Materials and Methods: Quasi experimental pre-test post-test control design was adopted. A total of 330 men were administered the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) tool to screen for alcoholics through house to house survey, of which 279 men who scored in the range of 8-15 AUDIT score were considered as alcoholics. Their spouses were selected as study participants (who met the sampling criteria) and subjects were randomly allocated to intervention group (132) and control group (147) through simple randomised sampling. The data was gathered by using WHOQOL-BREF tool to assess the QOL; initially pre-test QOL was assessed, followed by individual health education (45 minutes) and yoga (15 minutes) once a week for 3 consecutive weeks and post-test was done during fourth week for intervention (127) and control groups (142). There were five dropouts in post-test from each group due to health problems, migration and no cooperation from the family for the intervention. Independent t-test was performed by using SPSS version 18.0 to determine effectiveness of health promotion strategies on QOL scores between the intervention and control group and chi-square test was used to find the association between post-intervention QOL scores and selected demographic variable at p<0.05 level of significance. Results: QOL scores in all four domains in the intervention group showed that there was an increase before and after the interventions. On comparing the mean differences between QOL scores post-test in intervention and control group, calculated t-value was (34.04) and the difference was highly statistically significant at p<0.001** showing that health promotional strategies were effective in improving QOL among spouse of alcoholics. There was a significant association between post-test intervention QOL scores of subjects and selected variables such as primary decision maker (p=0.002*) of the family and history of domestic violence (p=0.030*). Conclusion: The study findings suggest that adopting health promotional strategies such as yoga can help the spouses of alcoholics to improve their QOL.
