Sleep quality is a condition that reflects an individual's ability to sleep and obtain adequate rest according to their needs. During the menopausal transition, disturbances such as difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings, and early morning waking are common and distressing. Poor sleep quality in menopausal women contributes to physical health problems, including decreased concentration and an increased risk of falls, and also leads to psychosocial issues that reduce overall quality of life. In some cases, it may contribute to depressive symptoms.

Non-pharmacological approaches, such as progressive muscle relaxation and aromatherapy, are commonly used to improve sleep quality. These methods are considered cost-effective, practical, and less likely to cause side effects or dependence compared to pharmacological treatments. One type of aromatherapy that may be beneficial is lemongrass aromatherapy.

This study aims to determine the effect of lemongrass aromatherapy on the sleep quality of menopausal women. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 32 menopausal women participated using an accidental sampling technique. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire.

Data analysis using the Paired T-Test showed a significance value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05. This indicates that lemongrass aromatherapy has a significant effect on improving sleep quality among menopausal women at Tuah Mandiri Baloi Permai Posbindu, Batam City, in 2025. The findings suggest that this intervention can be recommended as a simple, safe, and accessible complementary therapy to support better sleep and enhance well-being in menopausal populations overall.

Perineal wounds are one of the health problems that often occur in postpartum mothers and can cause pain, activity limitations, and slow recovery. The wound healing process is influenced by nutritional status, especially protein and albumin. Snakehead fish (Channa striata) is known to have high albumin and protein content which plays an important role in tissue regeneration so it has the potential to accelerate wound healing. This study aims to determine the effect of administering snakehead fish capsules on the duration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group design approach. At the Baloi Permai Community Health Center from February to August 2025. The population in this study were postpartum mothers, a sample of 32 respondents consisting of an intervention group given snakehead fish capsules and a control group. Data analysis using SPSS Data on the duration of perineal wound healing were analyzed using an independent t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The average duration of perineal wound healing in the control group was 7.31 days, while in the intervention group it was 4.88 days. The mean difference of 2.42 days was statistically significant with a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05). This indicates that snakehead fish capsules significantly accelerated perineal wound healing in postpartum women. This study recommends the use of snakehead fish capsules as a non-invasive, locally sourced complementary therapy to support postpartum recovery.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about cervical cancer and the attitudes toward HPV vaccination among women of reproductive age at Nagoya Clinic, Batam, in 2025. A cross-sectional study design was employed, with data analyzed using the chi-square test. The sample consisted of 55 women aged 15–49 years who visited or sought treatment at Nagoya Clinic, Batam City.
