The COVID-19 pandemic, which is more focused on preventing the spread of the virus, has resulted in disrupted immunization services. Many factors cause a decrease in measles immunization in children, one of which is maternal anxiety during the COVID-19 period.</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> This study used a cross-sectional study design in 86 mothers who had babies aged 9-12 months. Sampling is carried out by two-stage sampling. Data collection used a COVID-19 anxiety scale questionnaire (CAS) and MCH book recording to determine measles immunization records. Data analysis using chi-square test.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: The number of mothers who are anxious about Covid-19 is more disobedient in the administration of measles immunization (69.1) than those who are compliant (30.9). There is a relationship between maternal anxiety during COVID-19 and adherence to measles immunization (p-value 0.026).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Maternal anxiety during the COVID-19 period is related to compliance with measles immunization in the work area of the Darussalam Health Center, Aceh Besar Regency. Increased understanding related to the prevention and transmission of COVID-19 must be done to the community.

Female students who studied at modern Islamic boarding schools also complained about the same problem. Not maintaining personal hygiene and lack of knowledge is the main cause of flour albus in students. Handling flour albus can be done non-pharmacologically through the provision of red betel boiled water.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: This study uses a quasi-experiment method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study involved 30 young women who experienced pathological flour albus. Respondents came from two different Islamic boarding schools. Fifteen young women from Islamic Boarding School Daruzzahidin were given treatment and 15 from Islamic Boarding School Darul Hikmah for the control group. Treatment by giving 100 ml of decoction of red betel dau to wash away the genitals. This treatment is carried out for 14 days. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling, according to the criteria set by the researcher.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: There were differences before and after the use of red betel boiled water and no differences before and after observation in the control group. Pretest results in the treatment group showed the incidence of pathological discharge in the moderate category of as many as 7 people (46.7%). For posttest results, the whitish category changed, where young women who were initially in the moderate category became whitish in the mild category, namely 9 people (60%).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: There is an influence of the administration of boiled water of red betel on the incidence of pathological discharge. It is hoped that policymakers will be able to increase adolescent knowledge about personal hygiene and non-pharmacological treatment to overcome flour albus.</p>2023-05-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Midwifery and Community Health (JMCH)https://journal.poltekkesaceh.ac.id/index.php/jmch/article/view/561THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARITY ANDMACROSOMIA BIRTH IN THE DISTRICT OF ACEH BESAR2024-04-03T02:25:03+00:00Ulyatul maratiulyatulmarati@gmail.com<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>According to the IDHS 2012, the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia was 34 per 1000 births.
