Abstract

Introduction: Based on data from the Banten Provincial Office, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Banten Province in 2017 was 75.7%, which did not meet the target set in 2016 in Banten Province (77%). The suboptimal rate of exclusive breastfeeding may be due to the low amount of breast milk produced by mothers. This study was conducted to determine the benefits of chemical galactagogues and herbs in increasing breast milk production in the Pontang Community Health Center working area. The population in this study consisted of 32 breastfeeding mothers with children aged 0-6 months in the Pontang Community Health Center working area, comprising 16 chemical and 16 herbal mothers. This study will be conducted in May-June 2024 at the Pontang Community Health Center. Methods: The research method used is a quasi-experiment with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was carried out using breast milk pumps and breast milk bags. The data were then analyzed using univariate and bivariate (influence analysis) methods. Results: The results showed a significant p-value of 0.000 between galactagogues and increased breast milk production in the chemical intervention group compared to the herbal intervention group. Conclusions: The paired sample T-test showed a difference in mean values between the chemical intervention group and the herbal intervention group of 12.18, which means that the average breast milk production in the herbal group was much greater than the average breast milk production in the chemical group. It is hoped that health workers can provide information and disseminate or provide counseling when conducting practical visits about the benefits of galactagogues to the community, especially breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract

Night-shift nurses are at increased risk of fatigue due to circadian rhythm disruption, reduced sleep quality, and high occupational demands, which may affect well-being, work performance, and nursing care quality. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may support recovery and reduce fatigue. This study aimed to analyze the effect of ginger drink consumption as a complementary nursing intervention on fatigue among night-shift nurses. A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design involved 27 night-shift nurses at RSUD dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara, Serang Regency, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Participants consumed 230–240 mL of ginger drink after night shifts for two consecutive days. Fatigue was measured using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) before and after the intervention and analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The mean fatigue score decreased from 31.85 to 25.44, with a significant reduction in fatigue levels (Z = −4.512; p = 0.001). Ginger drink consumption may therefore serve as a simple, safe, and practical complementary nursing intervention to reduce fatigue and support recovery among night-shift nurses. Further randomized controlled studies with larger samples are recommended.

Abstract

Kondisi tekanan darah lebih dari 120/80 mmHg atau dikenal dengan hipertensi tetap menjadi masalah kesehatan utama karena meningkatkan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular, stroke, dan gangguan ginjal. Pendekatan non farmakologis seperti minuman herbal semakin banyak dieksplorasi karena keamanan dan efek samping yang minimal. Lidah buaya dan air kelapa (Cocos nucifera L.) mempunyai sifat antioksidan, anti-inflamasi, dan pendukung hidrasi yang berfungsi pada pengaturan tekanan darah. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efek minuman lidah buaya dan air kelapa dalam menurunkan tekanan darah melalui proses keperawatan. Dua responden hipertensi dari wilayah UPT Puskesmas Labuan Kabupaten Pandeglang Banten berpartisipasi dalam studi kasus ini. Setiap responden mengkonsumsi 200 ml minuman sekali sehari selama 7 hari berturut-turut. Tekanan darah diukur secara teratur, dan responden dipantau untuk perubahan gejala seperti pusing dan kelelahan. Kedua responden menunjukkan penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik secara bertahap. Secara subyektif, mereka juga melaporkan berkurangnya keluhan pusing. Perbaikan ini terjadi karena kandungan lidah buaya dan air kelapa yaitu antioksidan, elektrolit, kalium, dan senyawa bioaktif yang menyebabkan relaksasi pembuluh darah dan keseimbangan hidrasi. Meskipun penelitian ini melibatkan ukuran sampel yang kecil dan tidak memiliki kelompok kontrol, temuan tersebut konsisten dengan bukti sebelumnya yang menunjukkan bahwa minuman herbal dapat membantu mendukung pengendalian tekanan darah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi nata de lidah buaya dan air kelapa berpotensi sebagai pilihan non farmakologis yang aman, alami, dan efektif untuk menurunkan tekanan darah pada individu hipertensi
