Abstract

Breast milk is the most comprehensive biological nutrition for infants, yet the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum mothers has not yet reached global targets. Delays in breast milk production, maternal stress, and lack of lactation support are factors that influence breastfeeding success. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of oxytocin massage and breast care on smooth breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The study used a qualitative research method with a systematic literature review approach. The study population was scientific articles discussing oxytocin massage, breast care, and breast milk production in postpartum mothers in 2020–2025. The study sample consisted of 20 articles selected purposively based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instruments included an article search sheet, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a data extraction matrix. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and narrative synthesis. The results showed that oxytocin massage and breast care significantly increased breast milk production, facilitated milk letdown, reduced maternal stress, and improved breastfeeding comfort. The combination of the two interventions provided more optimal results than either intervention alone. The conclusion of this study is that oxytocin massage and breast care are non-pharmacological interventions that are effective, safe, and easy to implement to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum mothers

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aims to analyze the effect of banana (Musa paradisiaca) consumption on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. The research method used was a literature review of 20 research articles consisting of quasi-experimental, pre-experimental, and case study designs. The population in this study were pregnant women with hypertension, while the sample consisted of 20 research results that met the inclusion criteria. Instruments used in these studies included a sphygmomanometer and a blood pressure observation sheet. Data analysis was conducted using narrative synthesis of relevant research results. The results showed that most studies reported a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after consuming bananas at a dose of 100–200 grams per day for 5–14 days, with a p value <0.05. Ambon bananas are the most frequently used type and have shown consistent effectiveness as a complementary therapy. The conclusion of this study is that banana consumption has an effect on lowering blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension and can be used as a complementary non-pharmacological therapy, although there are still limitations in sample size and research design.
