Abstract

Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) are often perceived as normal conditions, yet they can significantly affect a pregnant woman’s quality of life. With limited use of pharmacological treatments due to concerns for fetal safety, digital innovation has opened new opportunities for non-invasive maternal care. One emerging approach is digital aromatherapy, which combines the convenience of technology with the benefits of natural therapy to help alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a lemon-scented digital aromatherapy intervention in reducing symptoms of NVP. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 100 pregnant women from Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. Participants used a mobile-controlled digital diffuser with lemon essential oil for 20 minutes, twice daily, over a period of seven days. The severity of nausea and vomiting was measured using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) scale before and after the intervention. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in PUQE scores post-intervention (p < 0.001), indicating a notable decrease in symptom severity. No adverse effects were reported throughout the intervention period. These findings indicate that lemon-based digital aromatherapy is a safe, effective, and accessible complementary approach for managing NVP. This study contributes to the advancement of digital maternal health by introducing a culturally adaptable, user-friendly, and scalable non-pharmacological solution for pregnancy-related symptoms.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety is a common psychological impact experienced by disaster survivors, including flood survivors. They often develop excessive fear of rain, thunder sounds, and the potential for recurring floods, which may lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One of the evidence-based psychological therapies effective in addressing anxiety is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which works by altering negative thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of CBT on anxiety levels among flood disaster survivors in two disaster-prone areas. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample consisted of 60 flood survivors divided into two groups: the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). Anxiety levels were measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test to assess the effectiveness of CBT in reducing anxiety. Results: The analysis showed a significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the intervention in the experimental group (t(14) = 5.21, p < 0.001), while no significant change was found in the control group (t(14) = 1.32, p = 0.201). The average anxiety score in the intervention group decreased from 36.7 to 15.6, indicating that CBT was effective in reducing anxiety among flood disaster survivors. Conclusion: CBT has been proven effective in reducing anxiety levels among flood survivors by helping them change negative thought patterns and improve coping mechanisms. Implementing CBT can serve as a psychological intervention strategy in post-disaster recovery programs to enhance the mental well-being of survivors. Keywords: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, anxiety, disaster.

Abstract

Public speaking ability is essential for healthcare students as educators and health promoters. However, students need more confidence in their ability to deliver education in public. Students also experience anxiety before becoming a public speaker. The study aims to identify common barriers that hinder students from feeling comfortable while speaking in public. The method used a phenomenological approach. Research location at Faletehan University, Indonesia. The sample in this study was 12 healthcare students to explore experiences related to barriers in preparing for public speaking. The technique used purposive sampling to select participants who have experienced difficulty or fear in public speaking. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results show that through thematic analysis, it was observed that the participants encountered physical and psychological obstacles. The findings revealed six themes, including physical anxiety, traumatic experiences, lack of technical methods and practice, the importance of personal branding, self-actualization, and the impact of social media. Self-actualization, a deeper understanding of personal branding, and the combination of EFT techniques emerge as effective ways to address the obstacles and hesitations faced by healthcare students before public speaking. This research provides information on overcoming barriers and hesitations in health promotion practices carried out by students in the community.
