Abstract

Cases of prolonged labor in women in the world are still quite high. Inadequate uterine contractions are the main cause of complications in women's deaths worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Phoenix Dactylifera on the length of labor in the active phase of the first stage. This research was carried out through a Quasi-Experimental design Quasi-Experimental. The 60 participants were divided into 2 groups, the intervention group (30 participants) and control (30 participants) at the Kediri Regency Health Center. Sampling uses simple random sampling. The intervention group was given 70 grams of phoenix dactylifera fruit daily from 37 weeks of gestation until labor, while the control group was given standard care. The results of the Paired t-test, the average length of labor in the first stage of the active phase in the intervension group (m=90.57, SD=56.507) p-value 0.000, and the control group (m= 271.33, SD=151.361) p-value 0.100. The difference in the average of the two groups is tested using an independent t-test. The difference in mean length of labor in the first stage of the active phase posttest in the intervention vs. the control group (m=90.57, SD=56.507vs m=271.33, SD=151.361) p-value 0.000. The difference in length of labor in the first stage of the active phase in the two groups was 180.76 minutes/ (3 hours 36 minutes). The Phoenix Dactylifera can shorten duration of the active phase of labor in the first stage of labor. It is recommended for health workers to give phoenix Dactylifera at the right dose to pregnant women in the third trimester to increase stamina during pregnancy and good uterine contractions.

Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy can affect pregnancy and birth outcomes. One non-pharmacological intervention is probiotic milk, which may be beneficial for hypertension in pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of probiotic administration on blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. This study uses a quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest with a control group). In this design, there are two groups: the intervention group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 30). This study uses simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted at health service facilities, namely health centres in the Kediri city area. Data collection began from March to July 2024. Probiotic milk supplementation of 125 ml was administered once daily for 63 days, while the control group received standard care. The results of the study using the t-test obtained the average post-test blood pressure in the intervention group, namely m = 124.07 mmHg, SD = 5.521 and the average diastolic pressure m = 75.60 mmHg, SD = 7.356. The average post-test systolic pressure in the control group was m = 141.83 mmHg, SD = 7.091, and the average diastolic pressure was m = 87.67 mmHg, SD = 9.132, with a p-value = 0.000. This shows that blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) in the intervention group was lower than in the control group. Probiotic milk supplementation given to pregnant women with hypertension has a greater potential to reduce blood pressure compared to the control group. Health workers need to be able to recommend probiotic consumption to pregnant women with hypertension. Further research should consider improved study designs and long-term monitoring of probiotic milk supplementation with a larger number of participants.
