This research aimed to analyse the factors related to LBW in Indonesia. Methods: The authors collated secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The sample consisted of 17,443 respondents. Besides LBW as the dependent variable, the independent variables consisted of maternal age, residence, wealth, education, employment, marital status, health insurance, antenatal care (ANC) visits, smoking behaviour, and gender of the baby. The final stage employed binary logistic regression. Results: Women aged 35-39 years were 0.688 times less likely than women aged 15-19 years to give birth to LBW babies. The wealthiest women were 0.712 times less likely than the poorest women to give birth to LBW babies. Women with higher education levels were 0.670 times less likely to have a LBW baby than women with no educatio...

We find that a one percentage point decrease in the shadow rate increases loan spreads by more than 30 basis points in the mining & construction and manufacturing sectors. The equivalent effect is lower in the services and trade industries, whereas the effect on the transportation & utilities and finance industries is less pronounced. Our results survive in several sensitivity tests and are immune to time-varying demand-side explanations. The identified differences in the potency of the risk-taking channel explain a significant part of the inferior performance of highly affected sectors compared to less-affected sectors in the year after a loan origination.

This study aimed to analyse the barriers to contraception use among women of childbearing age in rural Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) of 2017. The independent variables were age, employment status, education, marital status, wealth status, health insurance and parity. The dependent variable was the use of contraception. The statistical significance was set at p <0.05 using bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression. Results: The study showed that the age group of 45–49 years (OR 0.199; 95% CI 0.149–0.266), secondary education (OR 2.227; 95% CI 2.060–2.514), women married/living with their partner (OR 43.752; 95% CI: 35.484–53.946), wealth status: middle (OR 1.492; 95% CI 1.400–1.589) and multipara (OR 2.524; 95% CI: 2.328–...

The present research aimed at anlyzing the determinants of teenage pregnancy in Indonesia. The study used secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Demography and Health Survey (IDHS) in 2017. The independent variables are as follows age, wealth status, education, occupation, and marital status. On the other hand, the dependent variable is teenage pregnancy. The data were analyzed using binary logisctic regression. It was found that age is a significant determinant of teenage pregnancy. The richest teenager has 0.61 higher possibility of getting pregnant than the poorest. A teenager with higher education is 0.03 times more possible to get pregnant than one that has not gone to school before. Moreover, a working teenager has the possibility to get pregnant higher than that of not working teenager by 1.47 times. The present study empirically proves that marital status is not a determinant of teenage pregancu. While the four other variables, such as age, lower wealth status, no education, and working have been proven as determinants of teenage pregnancy in Indonesia.

The present study is aimed to investigate nurse-mother interaction in making decision on whether to breastfeed baby with low birth weight in a hospital. This qualitative study administered the grounded theory approach. For data collection, focus group discussion was implemented. Informants were selected with purposive sampling technique from three hospitals located in East Java Province, Indonesia. The validity test was satisfied with triangulation on sources, method and setting. New findings obtained from the study were classified into four categories, such as interaction, decision making, support and obstacles. The four categories form a triangle-shaped model of interaction. The first interaction is between nurse and spouse/family. The second one is between spouse/family with the mother. The third interaction is between mother and nurse. Support and obstacles may happen in every interaction. Decision making of breastfeeding mediated by the triangular interaction indicates that care is centered on infant. Nurses can improve the decision making quality of breastfeeding by minimizing obstacles and optimizing support in every flow of interaction.

Female circumcision brings more adverse effects than its benefits (Juliansyah, 2009). This study aims to explain the phenomenon of female circumcision performed by traditional birth attendants. The research design of phenomenology was conducted in Bandilan hamlet of Arjasa village, Kendal hamlet of Kamal village, Arjasa subdistrict and Wetangunung hamlet of Wonojati village, Jenggawah subdistrict of Jember. The informants involved one traditional birth attendant for circumcision, 12 informants selected by using purposive sampling. The data were collected through interviews and observations. The validity test of the data was conducted by testing the credibility of triangulation. The data were then analyzed using analysis of interwoven and interactive analysis. These research emerging five themes. First theme is the reason why the baby circumcised, the second theme is baby girl circumcision is done by traditional bith attendant through special ritual, the third theme is circumcision equipment, the fourth theme is the procession, and the fifth theme is the baby response when she is being circumcised. Circumcision on baby girl performed by traditional birth attendants does not hurt the reproductive organs and does not eliminate the reproductive rights of women, the goal is to preserve and to maintain the local culture. It requires adequate education to straighten out the myths that is not true such as the infants will become infidels if they do not get the circumcision.
