Abstract

In Indonesia, the prevalence of dysmenorrhea reaches 60 to 70%, with three-quarters of the number of adolescents experiencing mild to severe pain and as many as 7-15% do not go to school. The incidence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is around 54.89% primary dysmenorrhea, the remaining 45.11% secondary dysmenorrhea. Adolescents who experience dysmenorrhea tend to reduce their activities, especially activities at school and often decide not to go to school. Pharmacological therapy that is too frequent can cause several side effects such as stomach irritation, intestinal colic, diarrhea and asthma attacks. Non-Pharmacological Therapy is an alternative for dysmenorrhea, one of which is the red ginger hug pillow (BAPER). Red ginger is an option because it contains a lot of oleoresin, a bioactive component consisting of gingerol and shogaol which works as an anti-inflammatory and provides a warming effect so that prostaglandins can be blocked and reduce the intensity of pain during menstruation. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest posttest control group design. In early September 2025, researchers began collecting data on dysmenorrhea history from students at SMA Negeri 2 Kisaran. They were assisted by homeroom teachers and OBGYN doctors to better understand the students' condition. They also conducted interviews with both students and homeroom teachers. During this data collection phase, 60 students with a history of dysmenorrhea were identified. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a sample of 60 middle-aged adolescents (aged 15-17 years) at SMAN 2 Kisaran. The statistical test results obtained a P value = 0.000 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that non-pharmacological therapy of red ginger hug pillows can reduce dysmenorrhea. Red ginger hug pillows (BAPER) can be a solution for adolescents who experience dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Anxiety during labor can disrupt the smoothness of the labor process and increase the risk of complications. The role of midwives in providing emotional support, information, and assistance is expected to reduce this anxiety. The objective is to analyze the influence of the midwife's role on reducing maternal anxiety during the labor process. The method is a quantitative descriptive correlational study with a total sampling technique. The sample consisted of 32 midwives and 32 mothers giving birth. Data were collected using a questionnaire (Guttman scale for the role of midwives and the HARS scale for anxiety), analyzed univariately and bivariately (chi-square test). The results are that 90.6% of midwives play a supportive role. The level of maternal anxiety is dominated by mild anxiety (46.9%), no anxiety (40.6%), and moderate (12.5%). The chi-square test shows a significant relationship between the midwife's role and the level of anxiety (p = 0.010). The conclusion is that the supportive role of midwives (emotional support, information, and assistance) significantly reduces maternal anxiety during labor. Optimizing the role of midwives is recommended to improve the quality of midwifery services.
