Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety during labor can disrupt maternal homeostasis and prolong the labor process, leading to complications for both mother and baby. Healing touch therapy is a complementary method aimed at reducing anxiety and facilitating labor progression, but its effects on physiological outcomes like endorphin levels and labor duration require further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of healing touch therapy on endorphin levels and the duration of the active phase of the first stage of labor. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-post-test design was used. A total of 40 pregnant women were divided into control (n=20) and intervention (n=20) groups. The intervention group received healing touch therapy three times for 30 minutes. Blood samples were taken before and after the therapy to measure endorphin levels, and labor duration was recorded. Results: Mann-Whitney tests showed no significant change in endorphin levels after healing touch therapy (p=0.379). However, the duration of the active phase of labor was significantly shorter in the intervention group (median: 254.5 minutes) compared to the control group (280 minutes) (p=0.005). Conclusion: While healing touch therapy did not significantly impact endorphin levels, it effectively reduced the duration of the active phase of labor, suggesting its potential to support labor progression. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the growing accusation that Islamic family law is inherently patriarchal and fails to protect women adequately. Such criticisms arise from the gap between Qur'anic principles of justice and socio-cultural practices, as well as traditional interpretations shaped by patriarchal structures. In response to this issue, this study aims to re-examine the principles of justice and women's protection in the Qur'an using a normative approach combined with Qur'anic feminist perspectives. The central question addressed is whether the Qur'anic text itself supports patriarchy or whether patriarchal tendencies originate from historical interpretations and cultural practices surrounding the text. This research employs a qualitative method using library research and thematic content analysis (maudhu'i). The primary data consisted of Qur'anic verses related to gender relations, marriage, divorce, and family responsibilities, while the secondary data included classical and contemporary tafsir literature as well as feminist Islamic scholarship. The analysis focuses on identifying patterns of meaning, moral objectives (maqāṣid), and substantive justice embedded within the Qur'anic discourse. The findings reveal that the Qur'an is inherently anti-patriarchal and strongly upholds principles of justice, reciprocity, and the protection of women's dignity. Verses such as Qur'an 4:1, 4:19, 2:231, and 9:71 emphasize women's spiritual, social, and economic rights. The study concludes that patriarchal bias does not originate from the Qur'anic text itself but from socio-historical interpretations shaped by patriarchal contexts. Therefore, reconstructing Islamic family law based on maqāṣid al-Qur'an is essential for developing a more just, humane, and gender-responsive model of family relations aligned with the Qur ‘an’s ethical spirit.
