Abstract

Postpartum blues is a common psychological condition occurring after childbirth and can negatively affect maternal and infant well-being. A holistic approach based on local wisdom offers a comprehensive and culturally appropriate alternative for its management. This study aimed to identify secondary metabolites, determine the total saponin content of local Apis cerana honey from Lampung, and evaluate its effect on postpartum blues symptoms among postpartum mothers. The study combined a laboratory experimental approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. Local Apis cerana honey samples were qualitatively analyzed for secondary metabolites through phytochemical screening for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins using standard reagents. Total saponin content was quantitatively analyzed using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. A total of 56 postpartum mothers (28 per group) were selected using accidental sampling at Pringsewu Public Health Center. Both groups received standard postpartum care, while the intervention group additionally consumed 15 mL of honey daily for seven days. Postpartum blues was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins (0.43%). The intervention group showed a significant decrease in EPDS scores from 10.04 ± 2.659 to 8.82 ± 2.709 (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.882). The reduction was significantly greater in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Apis cerana honey contained bioactive compounds and showed potential as a complementary therapy for reducing postpartum blues symptoms.

Abstract

Breast milk production in postpartum mothers may be affected by psychological conditions and poor sleep quality, which can influence oxytocin secretion. Husband involvement and spiritual approaches may provide practical and culturally appropriate support during the postpartum period. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the SPEOS (Endorphin, Oxytocin, and Suggestive Massage Stimulation) method administered by husbands combined with Qur'anic murottal therapy on breast milk production, sleep quality, and psychological condition among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was conducted among 98 postpartum mothers recruited through accidental sampling from eight independent midwifery practices in Pringsewu Regency, with 49 participants in each group. The intervention was implemented throughout the first four weeks postpartum and consisted of husband-administered SPEOS massage combined with Surah Ar-Rahman murottal therapy. Data were analyzed using bivariate statistical tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results demonstrated significant differences between the intervention and control groups in breast milk production (p = 0.002), sleep quality (p = 0.002), and psychological condition (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that husband-administered SPEOS combined with Qur'anic murottal therapy may improve breast milk production, sleep quality, and psychological well-being among postpartum mothers. This intervention may serve as a feasible complementary approach that promotes active husband involvement in postpartum care.
