ABSTRACT
Baby Blues Syndrome (BBS) is a psychological disorder in postpartum mothers. This can interfere with milk production. The mother cannot provide adequate breast milk to the baby and cannot take care of the baby properly. This study was conducted in two health center in rural and two in urban. This was a comparative descriptive design using with cross sectional approach. The number of respondents was 119 postpartum mothers taken by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The percentage incidence of BBS was 75.6%. From the results of Chi-Squre test, the factors that significantly influence the incidence of BBS include education (p=0,023), type delivery (p=0,025), family economic status (p=0,005), and social support (p=0,039). From the different Mann Whitney Test, it was found that there were differences in factors between rural and urban areas, including education (Sig.2 Tailed=0,029), occupation (Sig. 2 Tailed=0,001), nutritional status (Sig. 2 Tailed=0,001), parity (Sig. 2 Tailed=0,010), type delivery (Sig.2 Tailed=0,000), and family economic status (Sig.2 Tailed=0,000). Mothers with low family economic status and education in rural areas need capacity building through training (cooking and sewing) and education (counseling). Class activities for pregnant women by involving partners or families to increase social support, as well as counseling about the consequences of pregnancy out of wedlock and mental health for pregnant women to promote better physical, mental and social health.

ABSTRACT
The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Aceh Besar regency is a serious problem for child survival. One of the non-morphological natural methods that can be used to help expedite milk production is acupressure points for lactation therapy. Acupressure points for lactation therapy are one of the solutions to overcome the uneven production of breast milk. Acupressure points for lactation therapy help maximize prolactin and oxytocin receptors and minimize side effects from delayed breastfeeding by the baby. This research method is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test research design. This research was conducted at the Midwives' Independent Practice in Aceh Besar Regency from April to October 2022. The population in this study were primiparous mothers who gave birth at the Independent Midwife Practice (PMB) in Aceh Besar Regency. The total sample of 60 respondents consisted of the intervention group of 30 respondents and the control group of 30 respondents. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate with T-Test Dependent and T-Test Independent. The results showed that there was a significant difference in milk production before and after giving acupressure therapy to breastfeeding mothers with a p-value of 0.000. There is a significant difference in breastfeeding success before and after giving routine care to breastfeeding mothers p-value 0.000. Complementary Therapy Acupressure Points For Lactation is effective in helping to facilitate breastfeeding and increase milk production in primiparous mothers in Aceh Besar Regency.

ABSTRACT
Background: Prolonged labor is defined as labor that has lasted 12 hours or more but is not followed by birth. The incidence of prolonged labor is quite high; it is known that 1 in 5 maternity mothers experience prolonged labor. The case of prolonged labor is included in the list of the 10 highest cases at Srikandi General Hospital Jember, Indonesia. Prolonged labor lasting > 12 hours is associated with severe postpartum hemorrhage, which is the second leading cause of death in East Java and the leading cause of maternal death in Jember Regency. Several factors are thought to affect the duration of labor including uterine contractions and fetal weight. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of fetal weight and uterine contractions on the duration of labor at Srikandi IBI General Hospital, Jember, East Java, Indonesia. Methodology: This is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The population consists of mothers who give birth at Srikandi General Hospital, Jember: 119 mothers who give birth with a sample size according to the Slovin formula of 92 mothers who give birth determined through Systematic Random Sampling. Research variables were assessed through partographs. Data were analyzed by path analysis. Findings: fetal weight has no significant effect on the duration of labor in both the first and second stages (t value = -0.07; 0.91). Uterine contractions had a significant effect on the duration of the second stage (t value = -2.22; -3.65) but did not significantly affect the duration of the first stage of labor (t value = -0.73; -1.13). Conclusion: This study shows that the more adequate uterine contractions, the shorter the duration of the second stage of labor. There may be other factors that influence the duration of labor including age, parity, nutritional status, maternal nutrition, psychology, family assistance, and non-pharmacological care. Further research is needed to examine the effect of these variables on labor.

ABSTRACT
Background: The high maternal and neonatal deaths remain a global concern especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. This is largely attributed to the limited skilled workforce including midwives who are required to offer quality maternal and neonatal care. Advanced Practice Midwifery (APM) training has been highlighted as critical in achieving high-quality maternal and neonatal care in all settings and countries. In Kenya, the APM training is at the initial stages, having been launched in May 2022. This paper presents the results of a literature review regarding opportunities and challenges for the APM training and practice with a goal of availing information to any institution willing to begin the program in Kenya and other LMICs. Methodology: A descriptive overview was undertaken through a rapid literature review of the relevant local and international literature to highlight the opportunities and challenges for the APM training and practice based on the Kenyan Context. Results: The APM training and practice has expansive opportunities such as the increased demand for quality care and reduced cost services, supportive policies, advances in technology, profession recognition and regularisation of the training and availability of midwives trained at lower levels. The challenges that the APM training is likely to experience includes; Lack of expert trainers, technological challenges, workload challenges due to the high population in need of the services and clinical environment challenges. Conclusion: APM training and practice has enormous opportunities despite the challenges that may be experienced. Therefore, for any institution preparing to start the APM training, there is need to exploit the existing opportunities and address the likely challenges to ensure the APM training and practice meets the desired outcomes.

The population in this study was 2750 postpartum mothers and the sample size examined 123 postpartum mothers as respondents it was conducted by Multistage Random Sampling. Respondents were given informed consent before conducting research for Ethical Considerations. All variable was obtained using a questionnaire. A multiple logistic regression test was conducted to determine the influence dimensions of HBM on maternal eating behavior during postpartum. Findings: Based on the result of this study Perceived Susceptibility (p=0,00) and Perceived Benefit (p=0,000) have significant correlation with maternal eating behavior. Then perceived Severity (p=0.983) and Perceived Barrier (p=0,616) do not correlate with maternal eating behavior among postpartum in Jember Regency Indonesia Conclusion: This study concludes that the greater perceived susceptibility and perceived benefits will influence postpartum mothers to have healthy eating behavior.

Findings: The results of the analysis of social support with contraception decision making showed that the family support variable had a p value of 0.04 and that of friends' support had a p value of 0.01. While the results of the analysis of social support with the nutritional status of contraceptive acceptors showed that the family support variable had a p value of 0.04. Conclusion: Social support from family support has a significant effect on the nutritional status of women who are contraceptive acceptors.
