Stunting has long-term impacts on the quality of human resources and is related not only to nutritional intake but also to maternal caregiving practices. This study aims to explore maternal caregiving practices in preventing stunting in infants and toddlers in Kolaka District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. This qualitative study, using a descriptive phenomenological design, involved 15 mothers with children aged 0-59 months, selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with triangulation and member checking to ensure data validity. Five main themes were identified: the meaning of a healthy child, breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, health service utilization, socio-cultural influences, and economic barriers and adaptive strategies. Mothers tend to assess their children's health based on their activity levels, while nutritional practices are influenced by economic conditions and family support. Stunting prevention is multidimensional and therefore requires a holistic and contextual approach involving families and health workers.

Most mothers who experience labor will experience pain and psychological reactions, making them more sensitive to the changes that occur. Appropriate psychological management can be carried out by a birth companion. A birth companion, or doula, can provide emotional support and comfort during labor and can provide information to the mother in labor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of doulas in providing midwifery care during pregnancy and childbirth. The method used was a literature review using electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and other related sites. The results showed that doula support has significant benefits for the physical and psychological health of mothers in labor. Doulas assist mothers through emotional, physical, informational, and spiritual support, making the labor process more comfortable, safe, and positive. The conclusion is that doula support can be considered part of maternal care that focuses on the holistic needs of the mother and baby.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 43% of children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries are at risk of not reaching their full developmental potential, including in the domains of language, cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional development (WHO, 2021). This condition is influenced by several factors, including poverty, malnutrition, inadequate stimulation, and non-responsive caregiving. The WHO emphasizes the importance of early childhood interventions, such as responsive caregiving and early learning opportunities, to promote optimal child growth and development..This study aims to examine the association between gadget use, parenting style, and gender with language development among preschool children at TKIT Rabbani, Muara Enim Regency, in 2025. An analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study population comprised 245 children, with 71 respondents selected through accidental sampling. Primary data were collected and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test, applying a significance level of α ≤ 0.05.The findings revealed a significant correlation between language development and gadget use (ρ = 0.000), parenting style (ρ = 0.000), and gender (ρ = 0.000). These results underscore the critical role of educational institutions in implementing effective language stimulation strategies, fostering parental engagement, and promoting responsible gadget use both at home and within school settings.
