Abstract

Pregnancy in the third trimester often causes discomfort for expectant mothers, including back pain. This pain, typically located in the lumbosacral area, arises from the growing uterus, which alters posture and increases pressure on the spinal curvature. As the abdominal muscles stretch to accommodate the enlarging uterus, muscle fatigue and increased spinal load contribute to back pain. Effleurage massage, a non-pharmacological therapy involving gentle stroking movements, may help alleviate this discomfort. The massage technique stimulates and relaxes tense nerves and muscles. This study aimed to analyze the effect of effleurage massage on reducing back pain in third-trimester pregnant women. A quasi-experimental research method with a one-group pre-test-post-test design was employed. Participants were recruited using total sampling. The results showed a significant difference in back pain scores before and after effleurage massage (p = 0.000). This study concludes that effleurage massage has a significant effect on reducing back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester.

Abstract

Diarrhoea is characterized by an increase in stool frequency (three or more times in 24 hours) with liquid consistency, sometimes accompanied by blood. Common symptoms include abdominal bloating, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Prolonged diarrhoea in children can lead to dehydration, reduced food intake, weight loss, and potentially failure to thrive. Ambon bananas offer a non-pharmacological approach to managing diarrhoea. This study aimed to determine the effect of Ambon banana consumption on stool consistency in children with diarrhoea. A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test-post-test design was employed with a purposive sample of 20 children. Results indicated a significant improvement in stool consistency after the intervention (p = 0.000). This study concludes that Ambon bananas can effectively alter stool consistency in children with diarrhoea. Parents are advised to consider incorporating Ambon bananas into the dietary management of diarrhoea in their children.
