Efforts to improve public health, especially family health, require women empowerment as part of community empowerment. Women empowerment to have an awareness of themselves as whole human beings and their position in their culture. Women need to be involved in planning, implementing program activities, and evaluating and analyzing development impacts (Rosalia, 2015). Women empowerment through active participation will generate benefits for the welfare of women and their families (Indriyati and Nugrahani, 2013).</p> <p>Improving the quality of women is the basis for creating sustainable development for a nation. Therefore, it is necessary to empower women to have an awareness of themselves as whole human beings and their position in their culture. This empowerment is carried out by promoting health education, one of which is through seminars. In essence, health development is directed towards attaining awareness, willingness, and ability to live a healthy life for everyone, concerning physically, mentally, as well as socio-culture and economy. In order to achieve an optimal degree of health, various efforts are made to provide comprehensive, targeted, and sustainable health services. Maternal and child health problems are optimized by empowering women in the family. One form of cross-sectoral cooperation from the education and health sectors is to become a facilitator who is expected to increase women's knowledge as family educators, especially in efforts to improve maternally, child, and family health. Especially in the era pandemic of the Covid-19, women play a chief role. Women's role is also one of the keys to success in reducing the spread of covid-19. Data have shown that increasing covid-19 cases in Indonesia is due to transmission in the family cluster and has a significant impact mainly for vulnerable groups such as women, children, toddlers, people with disabilities, and the elderly.</p> <p>Based on those rationales, Midwifery Department of Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Kuningan is conducting the first International Seminar titled "Empowerment of Women in Family Health"<br><br>This Activity aims to enhance discourses and develop innovative thinking around maternal health: Global Perspective, discussing specifically the concept of women's empowerment, women's equality in various activities (Political and economic activities to support gender-based services), and the role of midwives in empowering women or related to Inspiring Woman</p>https://ejournal.stikku.ac.id/index.php/gemic/article/view/308PERCEPTION OF WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE ON EARLY DETECTION OF CERVICAL CANCER WITH IVA TEST IN THE BASIC ESSENTIAL NEONATAL OBSTETRICS SERVICES CIPEUNDEUY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER SUBANG REGENCY2021-07-30T07:47:13+00:00Wiwin Elis Sumarnilianurcahyani17@gmail.comLia Nurcahyanilianur09237@yahoo.com<p>Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women with an estimated 570,000 new cases in 2018 and represents 6.6% of all cancers in women. The behavior of women of childbearing age in preventing cervical cancer with early detection is still low. Nationally, it is still less than 5%, while the target to be achieved in 2019 is 50%. In Subang Regency in 2019, of the target of 7500, only 20 people (0.27%) did IVA tests (Subang District Health Office, 2019).

The prevalence of dysmenorrhoea varies between 15.8% - 89.5%, with the highest prevalence in adolescents, this shows that adolescents are very vulnerable to anxiety which will lead to the incidence of dysmenorrhoea. This study aims to determine the correlation between the level of anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescents at SMAN 1 Sindang Indramayu in 2020. Non-experimental research with correlational analytic design with cross sectional approach using primary data of 50 female adolescents who were taken by quota sampling technique. Collecting data using an electronic questionnaire which is analyzed by the Spearman rank test. In the univariate analysis, 36% of 50 female adolescents had mild anxiety and 72% had mild primary dysmenorrhoea. Bivariate analysis with the Spearman rank statistical test obtained significance or P value = 0.003 <0.05 and a correlation coefficient value of 0.418 and is positive. There are correlation between the level of anxiety during Covid-19 pandemic and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea in female adolescents at SMAN 1 Sindang Indramayu with the strength of the correlation between two variables in the sufficient category and positive, which means that if the variable level of anxiety is high, the primary dysmenorrhoea variable is getting higher.</p>2021-07-08T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2021 https://ejournal.stikku.ac.id/index.php/gemic/article/view/313NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF TODDLERS IN NAGARAKEMBANG VILLAGE, CINGAMBUL DISTRICT, MAJALENGKA REGENCY2021-07-30T07:22:39+00:00Ai Nurasiahainurasiah@gmail.comMerisa Laora Heryantomerisa09654@yahoo.comIla Ayatilahila9785@yahoo.com<p>The coverage of visits to the integrated service post for boys and girls in the village of Nagarakembang in January 2019 was 26.82%, in February it was 42.54%, in March 81.16%.
