HIV / AIDS is an infectious disease that attacks the immune system. HIV / AIDS cases are still a health problem in the world, because the disease trend is still increasing. Negative stigma and discriminatory can cause high psychological distress and feelings of anxiety. Excessive anxiety will cause feelings of uncertainty, guilt, depression, and helplessness, anxiety, phobias, illusions and hallucinations, thus affecting the quality of life. This study aims to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on anxiety levels in women of reproductive age couples (WPUS) with HIV / AIDS. The research method used a quasi-experimental with One group pretest-posttest design. The sample was 10 people with HIV / AIDS. Data obtained using HARS and analyzed the T-dependent test with a significance test of p value 0.05 (95% CI). The results showed that the average anxiety index before progressive muscle relaxation therapy was 29.90 (severe anxiety), the average anxiety index after progressive muscle relaxation therapy was 16.50 (mild anxiety). The results of the analysis showed that there was an effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on the anxiety level of WPUS suffering from HIV / AIDS (p Value = 0.000). It is hoped that this progressive muscle relaxation therapy can be used to reduce the anxiety level of women of reproductive age couples (WPUS) suffering from HIV / AIDS through health education and demonstration of progressive muscle relaxation therapy movement.
Teenagers who experience reproductive issues frequently get married young, engage in unsafe sexual behavior, and abuse drugs (WHO, 2020). Health education is one method midwives may help people with these issues. A reproductive health module called "Tentang Kita" has been created by BKKBN.

This study's objective was to ascertain how the "Tentang Kita" module's implementation affected the knowledge, attitudes, and motivation of peer educators at PIK-Remaja IKIP Siliwangi. Type of the research are quasi experimental with one group pre test-post test design. The sample of this study were 30 members of PIK-R IKIP Siiwangi. Data collection used questionnaires with intervention using "Tentang Kita" module. Data analysis was done univariate and bivariate with Wilcoxon test. The median knowledge before intervention was 62.5 while the median knowledge after intervention was 96. The median attitude before intervention was 74 while the median attitude value after intervention was 93. The median motivation before intervention is 77 while the median motivation after intervention is 95. Result of this study, there is an effect of the application of "Tentang Kita" module on the knowledge, attitudes and motivation of peer educators at PIK-R IKIP Siliwangi with a p value of 0.000. The use of the "Tentang Kita" module had an impact on peer educators' knowledge, attitudes, and motivation, according to the study's findings.

The participation of long-term contraceptive method users is still not satisfactory. The pandemic condition and the lack of quality information about counseling caused this problem. Existing counseling guidelines have not been able to encourage women of childbearing age to choose long-term contraceptive methods. Telehealth which is carried out in a structured manner has the potential to increase interest in choosing long-term contraceptive methods, so the purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of telehealth on interest in choosing long-term contraceptive methods in postpartum women in Cimahi City. This type of research is a quasi-experimental. This study used a randomized pretest-posttest with a control group. Sampling was carried out by stratified random sampling on 50 postpartum mothers in Cimahi City. The selected samples were grouped in a simple random order so that there were 25 people for the treatment group and 25 people for the control group. The treatment group was given counseling using Telehealth while the control group was given standard counseling using the family planning module. The difference in the increase in interest in the treatment and control groups was tested by the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed a significant difference in interest scores after telehealth counseling was carried out between the treatment and control groups with a median interest of 17 (13-19) with a p value <0.05. In addition, telehealth influences the interest in choosing long-term contraceptive methods in postpartum women. The conclusion of this study, telehealth which is carried out in a structured manner can increase interest in choosing long-term contraceptive methods.
