Abstract

Background: The three-month injectable contraceptive remains a popular hormonal method owing to its convenience and efficacy. Nevertheless, weight gain is a common adverse effect that often prompts discontinuation. Aromayoga—a therapeutic combination of aromatherapy and yoga—has emerged as a potential non-pharmacological strategy to mitigate this problem by restoring hormonal balance, relieving stress, and improving metabolic activity. Objective: This study sought to examine the impact of aromayoga on body weight among women using the three-month injectable contraceptive who experienced weight gain as a side effect. Methods: A quasi-experimental design employing a pretest–posttest control group approach was implemented. The study involved 30 women of reproductive age using the three-month injectable contraceptive, equally divided into an intervention group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The aromayoga sessions were administered over a four-week period, three times weekly, with each session lasting 30 minutes. Statistical analyses were performed using paired-sample and independent t-tests.Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in body weight with a mean decrease of 1.5 kg (p = 0.002), whereas the control group exhibited a mean weight increase of 0.3 kg (p = 0.084). Independent t-test analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups following the intervention (p = 0.015). Conclusions: The findings indicate that aromayoga is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing weight gain among users of the three-month injectable contraceptive. Incorporating aromayoga into community health programs could promote user comfort and support the continued use of contraceptive methods.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 75% of all maternal deaths are caused by various types of complications, one of which is prolonged labor. One non-pharmacological approach that can be used to address this issue is acupressure therapy at the BL67 and LI4 meridian points. The aim of this study was to evaluate the progress of labor in primigravida mothers by comparing the effectiveness of acupressure at the BL67 and LI4 points.This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a post-test only design. A total of 40 primigravida mothers in the active phase of the first stage of labor were evenly divided into two groups: 20 participants received acupressure at the BL67 point and the other 20 at the LI4 point. Data analysis was conducted using an independent sample t-test.The results showed that the significance value for the duration of labor progress in the active phase of the first stage was 0.199, which is greater than the significance threshold of 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H?) was accepted, indicating that there was no statistically significant difference in the average duration of labor between the group receiving acupressure at BL67 and the group receiving it at LI4.In conclusion, acupressure at both the BL67 and LI4 points can be considered an effective non-pharmacological method to support labor progress.
