IMPLEMENTASI EDUKASI TERHADAP DUKUNGAN SUAMI DALAM PENCEGAHAN KELETIHAN IBU POSTPARTUM

2026-08-03T09:26:42+07:00

Background: Postpartum fatigue is a common complaint experienced by over 60% of postpartum mothers. This condition can decrease breastfeeding motivation and trigger postpartum depression. Husband's support plays a crucial role in minimizing the mother's physical and psychological burdens. Therefore, an effective educational medium like a booklet is needed to improve the husband's understanding of his role.

Purpose: To determine the results of implementing a booklet as an educational medium on husband's support in preventing postpartum mother's fatigue at the Clinic in 2025.

Methods: This study used a single case design. The subjects consisted of two postpartum mothers and their husbands. Data collection instruments included knowledge questionnaires, husband's support observation sheets, as well as Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) questionnaires to assess the mother's psychological condition. Monitoring was conducted through four postpartum care visits.

Result: Prior to the education, respondent 1 (husband was supportive but lacked specific role awareness) showed a 70% support rate, while respondent 2 (husband lacked empathy due to workload) showed a 35% support rate. After the education sessions using the booklet, the knowledge and involvement of both husbands significantly increased. By the final evaluation (4th visit), the mothers' fatigue levels decreased, and their psychological states returned to normal limits (Respondent 1: EPDS 3, FAS 13; Respondent 2: EPDS 5, FAS 13). Furthermore, both husbands actively implemented domestic chores and infant care routines, matching the checklist provided in the booklet.

Conclusion: Booklet-based education is effective in improving the husband's knowledge and support, directly contributing to preventing and reducing physical and psychological fatigue levels in postpartum mothers.

IDENTIFIKASI DYNAMIC BALANCE PADA ATLET SEPAK BOLA DENGAN CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY MENGGUNAKAN Y-BALANCE TEST

2026-08-03T09:26:42+07:00

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) significantly impairs neuromuscular control and dynamic balance in soccer athletes, contributing to recurrent injury and reduced athletic performance. Identification of dynamic balance deficits through the Y-Balance Test (YBT) enables targeted physiotherapy interventions.

Objective: To identify the dynamic balance profile of soccer athletes with CAI using the Y-Balance Test.

Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 30 active soccer athletes with confirmed CAI (CAIT ≤ 27) at AT Farmasi FC Surakarta in 2026, selected using consecutive purposive sampling. Dynamic balance was measured using the YBT in three reach directions—anterior (ANT), posterolateral (PL), and posteromedial (PM)—for both lower extremities. Composite scores were calculated by normalizing reach distances to limb length. Descriptive statistics and Shapiro-Wilk normality testing were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v.26.

Results: Mean composite scores were 87.85 ± 10.63% (left) and 87.35 ± 10.88% (right), both below the commonly reported 89% reference threshold associated with increased lower-extremity injury risk. Sixteen subjects (53.3%) and 19 subjects (63.3%) scored below the threshold on the left and right limbs, respectively. Mean anterior reach asymmetry was 5.43 ± 5.55 cm, with 17 subjects (56.7%) exceeding the 4 cm clinical risk threshold.

Conclusion: Soccer athletes with chronic ankle instability predominantly demonstrated dynamic balance profiles below the commonly reported reference threshold, accompanied by a high prevalence of inter-limb asymmetry. These findings support the use of the Y-Balance Test as one component of functional screening in sports physiotherapy.
