Postpartum blues is a natural response to drastic hormonal changes after giving birth that affect the physical and emotional state of postpartum mothers. These drastic hormonal changes are not the main factor in the occurrence of postpartum blues, but the impact on the mother's psychological life, such as the lack of support from her husband, family, or community, postpartum fatigue, worries about economic conditions, and other social problems. This study aimed to determine the relationship between social support and the incidence of postpartum blues in postpartum mothers in the working area of the Pomalaa Health Center. This type of research is a correlation analytic with a cross-sectional design with a population of 50 postpartum mothers. Data was collected using the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory (PDPI) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. 12 postpartum mothers experienced postpartum blues (24%). Four received less social support, and 8 people received good social support. There is a relationship between social support and postpartum blues in postpartum mothers in the Pomalaa Health Center working area with a p-value of 0.002. Husbands and families, as the closest people, are expected to be able to provide social support to postpartum mothers so that mothers avoid postpartum blues.

Bayi preterm membutuhkan Air Susu Ibu (ASI) dengan kadar Docoxahexaenoic Acid (DHA) yang lebih tinggi untuk mengimbangi kekurangan DHA yang dapat mengurangi resiko gangguan inflamasi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemberian Holothuria scabra terhadap kadar DHA pada ASI dengan persalinan preterm. Jenis penelitian quasi eksperimental dengan rancangan pre-posttest with control group design. Sampel dalam penelitian ini ibu postpartum dengan persalinan preterm sebanyak 40 orang yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok. Ibu postpartum yang diberikan kapsul Holothuria scabra adalah kelompok intervensi dan ibu postpartum yang tidak diberikan kapsul Holothuria scabra adalah kelompok kontrol. Pengambilan sampel ASI pre-test masing-masing kelompok pada hari ketujuh kemudian diambil kembali tujuh hari kemudian sebanyak 3 cc. Pemberian intervensi dilakukan selama 7 hari/sampel dengan dosis 3 kali sebanyak 2 kapsul sehari. Sampel ASI akan diperiksa dengan Human DHA ELISA kit. Analisa yang digunakan menggunakan Uji Mann Whitney dan Uji Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada perbedaan kadar DHA antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol dengan p-value 0,006. Setelah intervensi diperoleh rata-rata peningkatan 187.02 ug/ml pada kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol sebesar 7.05 ug/ml. Nilai maximum kadar DHA terdapat pada kelompok intervensi dengan nilai 1151,04 ug/ml. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kelompok yang diberikan kapsul Holothuria scabra lebih efektif peningkatan kadar DHA dibandingkan tanpa diberikan kapsul Holothuria scabra. Kapsul Holothuria scabra dapat membantu mempengaruhi peningkatan kadar DHA pada ASI dengan persalinan preterm.
