Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that poses serious risks to both maternal and fetal health, characterized by a significant increase in blood pressure. In Indonesia, the prevalence of preeclampsia remains high, and delayed treatment can contribute to increased maternal and neonatal mortality. Unfortunately, many pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia do not receive optimal care, particularly in managing elevated blood pressure. Relaxation techniques and health education are considered effective non-pharmacological interventions to help reduce blood pressure and improve maternal health outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the effect of relaxation techniques and education on blood pressure reduction among pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia at RSIA Mutiara Bunda. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 15 pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia, selected through purposive sampling. The interventions included relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and guided visualization, as well as education on healthy lifestyle practices and stress management. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in blood pressure following the intervention, with p-values < 0.05. These findings indicate that relaxation techniques combined with education are effective in lowering blood pressure among pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia. In conclusion, the implementation of relaxation techniques and educational interventions is essential in supporting preeclampsia prevention and management efforts.

Abstract

Self-medication is a common practice among breastfeeding mothers and may pose risks to infants due to potential drug exposure through breast milk. Limited awareness of medication safety and the widespread availability of over-the-counter drugs contribute to this behavior. This study aimed to describe self-medication behavior among breastfeeding mothers. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0–24 months. Data were collected using a validated and reliable self-administered online questionnaire. The instrument consisted of 25 items covering self-medication practices, including types of medications used, frequency, reasons for use, sources of information, and awareness of medication safety. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Self-medication was reported by 78.3% of respondents. Analgesics and antipyretics were the most commonly used medications, followed by cold remedies and vitamins. The main reasons for self-medication were perceived mild symptoms, prior experience, and convenience. Most respondents relied on informal sources of information, particularly the internet and social media. Awareness of medication safety during breastfeeding varied, with a substantial proportion demonstrating moderate to poor understanding. Conclusions: Self-medication behaviour is prevalent among breastfeeding mothers and is influenced by accessibility, prior experience, and reliance on non-professional information sources. Limited awareness of medication safety highlights the need for improved health education and professional guidance to support safer medication practices during breastfeeding.
