The population was 98 students and the sample size was 79 people using Solvin formula with standard error of 0.05 with simple random sampling. This was an analytical survey with a cross sectional study design. Data collection used checklist sheet which contained numeric rating scale and anthropometric measurements (stature and weight). Analysis of the data used univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test. From the research, the nutritional status variables using chi-square test statistic with pearson chi-square revealed a p-value of 0.008, meaning that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and primary dysmenorrhea. Statistical test results for the variable of age of menarche showed a p-value of 0.006, meaning that there was a significant relationship between age of menarche and primary dysmenorrhea.

Cervical cancer is the number one killer of women in the world caused by the Human Papilomma Virus. One of the early detection of cervical cancer by checking Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is a simple way to detect cervical abnormalities. Knowledge of cervical cancer is one of the factors influencing WCBA behavior in conducting VIA examinations. This study aims to determine the relationship between WUS knowledge on cervical cancer with early detection examination behavior using VIA in Maradekaya Village. The research sample was 59 respondents with random sampling technique and a cross-sectional research design. The results showed that the respondents' knowledge about cervical cancer was included in the "tofu" category as many as 55 respondents (93.2%) and "do not know" category were 4 respondents (6.8%), respondents who did VIA examination were 22 respondents (37.3%) and those who did not perform VIA examination were 37 respondents (62.7%). Chi-square test with 95% CI showed a p-value of 0.521 (P> 0.05). These results indicate that there is no relationship between WCBA knowledge about cervical cancer with early detection using VIA in Maradekaya Village. Additional conclusions that can influence behavior it is culture.Kanker serviks adalah pembunuh wanita nomor satu di dunia yang disebabkan oleh Human Papilomma Virus. Salah satu deteksi dini kanker serviks dengan pemeriksaan Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) merupakan cara sederhana untuk mendeteksi kelainan serviks. Pengetahuan tentang kanker serviks merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku WCBA dalam melakukan pemeriksaan VIA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan WUS tentang kanker serviks dengan perilaku pemeriksaan deteksi dini menggunakan VIA di Desa Maradekaya. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 59 responden dengan teknik random sampling dan desain penelitian cross-sectional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan responden tentang kanker serviks termasuk dalam kategori “tahu” sebanyak 55 responden (93,2%) dan kategori “tidak tahu” sebanyak 4 responden (6,8%), responden yang melakukan pemeriksaan VIA sebanyak 22 responden. responden (37,3%) dan yang tidak melakukan pemeriksaan VIA sebanyak 37 responden (62,7%). Uji Chi-square dengan 95% CI menunjukkan nilai p 0,521 (P> 0,05). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan WCBA tentang kanker serviks dengan deteksi dini menggunakan VIA di Desa Maradekaya. Kesimpulan tambahan yang dapat mempengaruhi perilaku itu adalah budaya.

Breast Milk is an essential intake containing complete nutrition required for infant growth and health. Its protein is much higher than formula milk. One of the methods to improve breast milk production is Breast care. Breast care is helpful for the reflex of the release and increasing the volume of breast milk. This study aimed to determine the effect of breast care on milk production on postpartum mothers at Kassi-Kassi Health Center Makassar. The study applied "Experimental Quasy" with "Nonrandomized Control Group, Pretest-Posttest Design." The study involved 30 participants taken purposively from February to April 2018. The data were analyzed statistically with an independent sample t-test. The study found a significant difference in breast milk production between the experimental group and the control group with t count of 10,512 with df 58 is 2,000 (10,512 > 2,000) and ρ < 0,05 (0,000 < 0,05). Therefore, health workers, particularly midwives, educate and promote breast care to the community and postpartum mothers to support the first 1000 days of life. Air Susu Ibu (ASI) merupakan asupan penting terhadap tumbuh kembang dan kesehatan bayi. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI yaitu dengan melakukan perawatan payudara. Perawatan payudara bermanfaat untuk melancarkan refleks pengeluaran dan meningkatkan volume ASI. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai pengaruh perawatan payudara terhadap produksi ASI pada ibu postpartum di Puskesmas Kassi-Kassi Kota Makassar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah “Quasy Eksperimental” dengan rancangan “Nonrandomized Control Group, pretest-posttest Design”. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah Purposive Sampling. Besar sampel untuk penelitian ini adalah 30 orang. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari – April 2018. Analisis statistik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah uji independent sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan produksi ASI yang signifikan antara kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol dengan nilai t hitung sebesar 10,512 lebih besar dari t tabel sebesar 2,000 dan nilai ρ = 0,000 < 0,05. Produksi ASI lebih tinggi pada ibu yang melakukan perawatan payudara jika dibandingkan dengan ibu yang tidak melakukan perawatan payudara. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh perawatan payudara terhadap kelancaran produksi ASI pada ibu postpartum di Puskesmas Kassi-Kassi Kota Makassar. Edukasi ibu hamil tentang pentingnya perawatan payudara mesti tetap ditingkatkan untuk mendukung 1000 hari pertama kehidupan anak.
