Abstract

Infant anxiety following routine immunizations, such as DPT vaccination, can lead to distress, prolonged crying, and negative behavioral responses, affecting both the child and caregivers. Non-pharmacological interventions, including aromatherapy, have been explored to alleviate such anxiety. This study aimed to examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy inhalation on anxiety levels in infants after DPT immunization at Puskesmas Rum Balibunga Tidore. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was employed, involving 30 infants aged 2–6 months. Anxiety was assessed using a validated observational scale, focusing on behavioral indicators such as crying duration, facial expressions, and body movements. Lavender essential oil was administered via inhalation for five minutes immediately after immunization. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to evaluate changes in anxiety scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in infant anxiety following lavender inhalation, with mean scores decreasing from 14.5 ± 2.8 to 9.3 ± 2.1 (p < 0.001). Behavioral indicators, including the frequency and duration of crying, were also markedly reduced, supporting the effectiveness of the intervention. These findings align with prior research indicating that lavender essential oil can modulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress responses. In conclusion, inhalation of lavender aromatherapy effectively decreases post-immunization anxiety in infants. Incorporating this intervention into routine vaccination procedures at community health centers offers a safe, non-invasive, and culturally acceptable method to improve infant comfort and enhance the overall immunization experience.

Abstract

Low back pain is a common issue during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, due to hormonal changes, increased lumbar lordosis, and altered body mechanics. This pain can negatively impact daily activities, sleep, and maternal well-being. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of gymball exercises in alleviating low back pain among third-trimester pregnant women at Puskesmas Hampang, Kotabaru Regency. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group, 40 participants were selected via purposive sampling. The intervention group (n = 20) performed structured gymball exercises three times a week for four weeks, while the control group (n = 20) received standard prenatal care without gymball exercises. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group comparisons and independent t-tests for between-group comparisons. Results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group, with mean VAS scores decreasing from 6.2 ± 1.0 to 3.1 ± 0.9 (p < 0.001). The control group showed minimal change (6.0 ± 1.1 to 5.7 ± 1.0; p = 0.148). This study indicates that gymball exercises are a safe, effective, and feasible complementary therapy for managing low back pain in pregnancy.
