Summary Behavioural modification through physical activity and dietary counselling has been shown to have beneficial effects on pregnant women with overweight/obesity. Whether exercise alone with supervision (ie, supervised exercise) may also benefit for pregnant women with overweight/obesity is still unknown. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of supervised exercise on pregnant women with overweight/obesity. PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), and Web of Science were used to search publications using a combination of main keywords “obesity”, “exercise”, “pregnant women”, and “randomised controlled trial”. From a total of 740 publications, 11 randomized controlled trials were included. All studies reported no adverse effects of supervised exercise on pregnant women with overweight/obesity. Of interest, this meta‐analysis showed gestational weight gain (GWG) was lower in the supervised exercise group as compared to control (Mean difference 0.88 kg, 95%CI ‐1.73 to −0.03, P = .04). There was a significant effect of supervised exercise on post‐prandial blood glucose (MD: ‐0.24, 95%CI ‐0.47 to −0.01, P = .04) and insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) (MD: ‐0.18, 95%CI ‐0.30 to −0.05, P = .005). There were no differences in risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, pre‐eclampsia/gestational hypertension, and newborn outcomes (eg, infants birth weight, preterm birth incident, and gestational age) (all P > .05). This meta‐analysis might suggest beneficial effects of supervised exercise on pregnant women with overweight/obesity to prevent excessive GWG, attenuates insulin resistance, and the post‐prandial blood glucose level.

Latar Belakang: Program keluarga berencana mengalami tren penurunan di Indonesia dikarenakan adanya kendala pengetahuan, hambatan budaya, dan ketidakpuasan klien terhadap efek dari penggunaan alat kontrasepsi. Konseling keluarga berencana oleh penyedia layanan kesehatan memainkan peran yang penting dalam memberikan informasi mengenai metode program keluarga berencana.Tujuan: Mengetahui kepuasan klien terhadap konseling keluarga berencana yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa kedokteran yang telah dilatih.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan pre-experiment design with posttest only. Dua puluh lima mahasiswa kedokteran yang mengikuti progam ditugaskan untuk memberikan konseling keluarga berencana kepada klien program keluarga berencana di Kabupaten Sleman, Yogyakarta. Modifikasi kuisioner dari William dkk digunakan untuk menilai kepuasan klien. Analisis deskriptif dilakukan dengan program SPSS versi 21.Hasil dan Pembahasan: Dari 69 klien yang mendapatkan pelayanan,secara umum lebih dari 97% klien merasa puas dengan pelayanan yang diberikan kecuali pada poin waktu tunggu dimana ketidakpuasan klien 11,8%. Kepuasan pada poin merasa dihormati, durasi konseling, metode pemberian informasi, kesempatan bertanya, dan kesesuaian antara informasi yang dibutuhkan dengan yang diberikan mencapai 98,5-100%.Kesimpulan: Sebagian besar klien merasa puas dengan konseling yang diberikan oleh mahasiswa kedokteran.Kata kunci: kepuasan, keluarga berencana, konseling, mahasiswa kedokteran

Uterine atony is the primary cause of postpartum hemorrhage worldwide. Further management for severe bleeding or limited uterotonic is the insertion of intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT), and a modified condom catheter is the most affordable form of IUBT. However, it has some limitations that can emerge from the component of the tools. This study aims to identify the equipment component of the condom catheter and discover potential improvements to optimize its function as IUBT. Preclinical research under laboratory environmental conditions was conducted. Five condom types, six catheter sizes, and a type of macro drip IV tubing were included in the study. The specifications of all condoms were almost similar and did not significantly differ in capacity, shape, and leakage. The condom shapes were more rounded and had a high possibility of filling the uterine space entirely if tied in the middle instead of close to the tip based on the standard. There was no significant time difference (p = 0.111; CI95% 3.31–3.52) in draining the fluid when using large catheters (nos 18F, 20F, 22F, and 24F) and removing the catheter. However, not using a catheter should consider the device's required length and mother's comfort in early mobilization. Also, further clinical studies are highly recommended.
