Some problems that often arise during breastfeeding are less ASI syndrome. Breast milk production and expenditure is influenced by two hormones, namely prolactin (affects the amount of ASI production) and oxytocin (affects the process of breastfeeding). Prolactin is related to maternal nutrition, the better the nutrients are good, the more milk produced. This study aimed to determine the effect of consumption of katuk leaf boiled water on the expenditure of breast milk production in postpartum mothers IN Manurung Medan bpm with the quasi experiment method and cohort design. The intervention sample group (consuming katuk leaf decoction) and control sample groups were 16 respondents respectively. The statistical test used is man why test. The statistical test results obtained p (sig) is 0.009 <0.05, it can be concluded that there is an influence of katuk leaf decoction consumption on increased milk production in postpartum mothers. It is expected that postpartum mothers, health workers and the community will be more maximal socializing and utilizing katuk leaves as a solution to increase breastmilk production in postpartum mothers to achieve exclusive breastfeeding for generations with better quality human resources.

Postpartum care is a treatment for mothers who are about to give birth or have just given birth so that their reproductive organs return to normal. Madeung is a medical technique commonly used by Acehnese women who have just finished giving birt. The purpose of this study was to explore the study of postpartum care (madeueng) from the perspective of Aceh culture in the village of Kareung Asan, the city of Lhoekseumawe. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with the approach used by researchers in this study is the ethnographic approach. The characteristics of the main informants were postpartum mothers who carried out the madeung process, while the triangulation informants were family and health workers (midwives). The results made, but the factors that motivated parents to carry out the madeng process are sometimes still considered negative. Informants are influenced by experienced users of parents, which results in them imitating negative habit patterns and perceiving some processes as commonplace. Parents often provide user experiences to parents, who live in them imitating negative habit patterns and perceiving some processes that are created as mater, of course. Parents often provide experiences about madeung and all informants have an adequate level of process. It is recommended that mothers who have just given birth and are about to undergo the madeung ritual to have their own firmness in determining their choices regarding personal health, especially regarding the anxiety of abstinence and advice that must be taken.

The coverage of management pregnancy complications in Indonesia tends to increase every year, but not yet comparable to a decrease in maternal morbidity and mortality. This was allegedly due to the increase in the number of high-risk pregnant women each year and because of the delay in referral due to delays in the mother and family in seeking care or deciding on approval of actions when there was a risk of even complications / emergencies. Delayed decision making is assumed due to lack of awareness of the mother and family due to lack of convincing and ineffective health communication carried out by health workers, especially midwives in delivering information about the risks and complications of pregnancy. Effective communication in changing behavior is persuasive communication that can be learned by midwives in order to help convince mothers, families and the community to be aware of the risks so that they can quickly and accurately make decisions for handling / action. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of midwives' persuasive communication on the decision making of mothers and families experiencing high risk pregnancies. The design of this study uses a quasi-experimental pre-posttest with control groups. Subjects were selected based on inclusion criteria by simple random sampling for the treatment and control group, with a total of 30 midwives in the Jember Regency. Communication is measured by a checklist and decision making of pregnant women viewed from filling out the questionnaire. Data analysis with simple linear regression test to assess the effectiveness of midwife persuasive communication on decision making for pregnant women. The results showed a significant effect of persuasive communication on maternal decision making by 49% (P <0.001). Persuasive communication into an intervention increases the competence of midwives' promotives so that they can help convince mothers, families and the community to be aware of the risks, there is no delay in referrals that cause pain or even maternal death.

(1) Background: Bioreactors mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues by providing a controlled micro-environment. However, their design is often expensive and complex. Herein, we have introduced the development of a low-cost compression bioreactor which enables the application of different mechanical stimulation regimes to in vitro tissue models and provides the information of applied stress and strain in real-time. (2) Methods: The compression bioreactor is designed using a mini-computer called Raspberry Pi, which is programmed to apply compressive deformation at various strains and frequencies, as well as to measure the force applied to the tissue constructs. Besides this, we have developed a mobile application connected to the bioreactor software to monitor, command, and control experiments via mobile devices. (3) Results: Cell viability results indicate that the newly designed compression bioreactor supports cell cultivation in a sterile environment without any contamination. The developed bioreactor software plots the experimental data of dynamic mechanical loading in a long-term manner, as well as stores them for further data processing. Following in vitro uniaxial compression conditioning of 3D in vitro cartilage models, chondrocyte cell migration was altered positively compared to static cultures. (4) Conclusion: The developed compression bioreactor can support the in vitro tissue model cultivation and monitor the experimental information with a low-cost controlling system and via mobile application. The highly customizable mold inside the cultivation chamber is a significant approach to solve the limited customization capability of the traditional bioreactors. Most importantly, the compression bioreactor prevents operator- and system-dependent variability between experiments by enabling a dynamic culture in a large volume for multiple numbers of in vitro tissue constructs.

Abstract Background Health workers are crucial to the successful implementation of infection prevention and control strategies to limit the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at healthcare facilities. The aim of our study was to determine SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention and control knowledge and attitudes of frontline health workers in four provinces of South Africa as well as explore some elements of health worker and health facility infection prevention and control practices. Methods A cross-sectional study design was utilised. The study population comprised both clinical and non-clinical staff working in casualty departments, outpatient departments, and entrance points of health facilities. A structured self-administered questionnaire was developed using the World Health Organization guidance as the basis for the knowledge questions. COVID-19 protocols were observed during data collection. Results A total of 286 health workers from 47 health facilities at different levels of care participated in the survey. The mean score on the 10 knowledge items was 6.3 (SD = 1.6). Approximately two-thirds of participants (67.4%) answered six or more questions correctly while less than a quarter of all participants (24.1%) managed to score eight or more. A knowledge score of 8 or more was significantly associated with occupational category (being either a medical doctor or nurse), age (< 40 years) and level of hospital (tertiary level). Only half of participants (50.7%) felt adequately prepared to deal with patients with COVD-19 at the time of the survey. The health workers displaying attitudes that would put themselves or others at risk were in the minority. Only 55.6% of participants had received infection prevention and control training. Some participants indicated they did not have access to medical masks (11.8%) and gloves (9.9%) in their departments. Conclusions The attitudes of participants reflected a willingness to engage in appropriate SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention and control practices as well as a commitment to be involved in COVID-19 patient care. Ensuring adequate infection prevention and control training for all staff and universal access to appropriate PPE were identified as key areas that needed to be addressed. Interim and final reports which identified key shortcomings that needed to be addressed were provided to the relevant provincial departments of health.

Abstract Issue Real-time access to up-to-date population information is essential to the strategic planning of primary health care (PHC). In the Brazilian public health system community-based health workers (CHWs), working as part of PHC teams, collect health, demographic and socio-economic data from individuals mainly through paper-based forms that are later entered manually into electronic information systems. Mobile applications could help to improve the quality and speed of this process facilitating the CHWs day-to-day work while improving the access to the collected information. Description of the Problem During September of 2019, a mobile application installed in tablets for the collection of health, demographic and socio-economic data was deployed for 432 CHWs of 87 PHC teams in the southern region of São Paulo, Brazil, serving a total population of 283,324 individuals. During implementation, the acceptability and challenges faced by CHWs were evaluated and the time taken to complete data entry. Results Seventy-two hours of training were offered to CHWs and other 139 professionals including managers, nurses and administrative staff (AS). Some CHWs reported concerns about the process change and fear of not being able to operate the application, especially those unfamiliar to the technology. With training and team support, fear was transformed into satisfaction with the realization of the benefits of the system. The main infrastructure challenge was the need for installation of Wi-Fi routers in some health care units, in addition to the replacement 4.4% of damaged tablets. In four months 97.6% of the total population was registered in the application. Lessons A WhatsApp group was created to clarify AS doubts, receive suggestions and disseminate guidelines. AS remained as the reference point at healthcare units and data completeness still needs to be reinforced. Key messages A mobile application was well-accepted by CHWs and could facilitate the collection of population data. A tablet app proved to be a useful tool to generate information for the PHC teams.
