Abstract

Background: The secretion of catecholamine and epinephrine due to excessive fear and anxiety during labor will increase the intensity of pain and potentially prolonged labor. Reflexology massage leads to release endorphins and enkephalins which have an analgesic effect five times greater than morphine, creates a deep feeling of comfort and balance of mind so the stress symptoms are reduced, and improves the outcomes of labor. This study aims to analyze the effects of foot reflexology for women and fetal wellbeing in labor. Methodology: This systematic review used PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols). The keywords used were reflexology or foot feflexology, pain relief, labor pain, primiparaous, effect or effectiveness. Articles were searched through databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Inclusion were articles that discusssed about reflexology and its effects in labor, experimental research and written in English. The selected articles were excluded for irrelevant titles and abstracts, non-full text, research under 2009 and duplicate articles. From 78 articles, only 8 articles were included in this systematic review. Results: This study found that foot reflexology can reduce the intensity of labor pain. It was also decreased duration, anxiety, hemorrhage rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse and increased uterine contractions, Apgar scores and maternal satisfaction with a highly statistical significant. Conclusion: Foot reflexology could decrease the intensity of labor pain, anxiety, duration, maternal complications and increase uterine contractions. In addition to improve labor outcomes and mother satisfaction. It is recommended as non pharmacological method which can be applied in maternity hospitals to improve women and fetal wellbeing during labor.

Abstract

Background: The global prevalence of the second degree of the perineal wound of postpartum mothers is 73.4%. Pharmacological treatments have a cytotoxic effect. Other treatments is non-pharmacological treatments are such as using decoc on waters of binahong leaves and red betel leaves. Both have compounds that accelerate epithelializa on of wounds. This study aims to analyze the differences of the perineal wound recovery period of postpartum mothers between the decoc on water treatments of binahong leaves compared to red betel leaves. Methods: This study is a quasi-experiment post-test only without control group design. There are 32 respon- dents mee ng the inclusion criteria who are taken by accidental sampling. The sample is divided equally into two groups, namely binahong group and the red betel group. Binahong or red betel leaf decoc on waters are used for genital washing a er urina ng at the last rinse at 7 am and 3 pm on 1-3 postpartum days. Perineal wound recovery is assessed by using the REEDA score from the second postpartum day un l the wound fully recovered. Sta s c analysis with chi-square, me series analysis, Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test. Results: The average of perineal wound recovery period of binahong group is 6 days, while the red betel group is 4.69 days. There are significant differences of perineal wound recovery period between the binahong group and the red betel group with a p-value of 0.0001 < ? (0.05). Respondents? characteris cs are age, BMI, frequency of changing pads, and educa onal background between binahong and red betel groups have no significant differ- ences. Conclusion: Red betel leaf decoc on water is recommended for postpartum mothers suffering perineal wounds. Further research is needed with a larger number of respondents and true experiments are needed to analyze the effect of red betel leaves on perineal pain, platelets, and leukocyte level.

Abstract

About 55% of postpartum mothers in Banyumanik and Ungaran districts in October 2019 experienced uterine subinvolution, and 75% of them experienced afterpains. Hot Herbal Compress could stimulate myometrium contraction required for uterine involution and analgesic effect. This study aimed to prove the effectiveness of hot herbal compress in accelerating uterine involution and afterpain recovery on postpartum mothers. This research used a quasi-experimental design—the investigation from 13 December 2019 until 26 January 2020 in Semarang. The authors grouped 42 postpartum mothers equally into experimental and control groups with random cluster sampling. The experimental group received a hot herbal compress for 20 minutes. The control group received uterus massage for 10 minutes and breathing exercises for 15 minutes. Both groups received the therapy 1x/day from the 2nd-10th day of the postpartum period. The observation of uterine fundal height by metlin, lochia volume by gravimetric, and afterpains intensity by visual analogue scale before and after the intervention every day. The analysis used Repeated Measure Anova. The experimental group's uterine fundal height, lochia volume, and afterpains intensity were consistently lower than the control group. There were significant differences between the experimental and control groups on a uterine fundal height on days 1-5 and 6-8, on lochia volume on days 5-6, and on the intensity of afterpains on days 1-4 (p < 0.05). The hot herbal compress effectively decreased the uterine fundal height on a uterine fundal size on days 1-5 and 6-8, reduced lochia volume on days 5-6 and effectively decreased afterpains intensity on days 1-4 on of postpartum mothers. This study recommends that midwives provide hot herbal compress therapy for the postpartum mother to accelerate uterine involution and recovery of afterpains.
