Abstract

Endorphins play a role in creating a sense of comfort and pleasure, which can help reduce anxiety in mothers. Back massage is done to stimulate the oxytocin reflex through somatic sensory stimulation of the afferent system. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of endorphin massage on breast milk production in post partum mothers at Pratama Hadijah Maternity Clinic in 2025. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a quantitative approach. The research was conducted from February to April 2025 at Pratama Hadijah Maternity Clinic. The study population included all postpartum mothers who visited Pratama Hadijah Maternity Clinic from February to April 2025. The sample used was 54 people, obtained through purposive sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that as many as 36 respondents (66,7%) experienced smooth milk production after being given endorphin massage, while 18 other respondents (33,3%) showed less smooth milk production. There is a significant relationship between endorphin massage and breast milk production in post partum mothers, with a Z value of - 3.178 with a p value of 0.001 <0.05. It was concluded that mothers who received endorphin massage showed smoother breast milk production than those who did not receive the treatment. It is recommended to the clinic to apply endorphin massage therapy which is proven to have an effect on breast milk production.

Abstract

Child developmental disorders occur when genetic or environmental factors fail to meet a child's basic growth and development needs. Prompt detection and appropriate intervention can help improve the quality of a child's growth and development later in life. This study aimed to determine the effect of infant massage and baby spa treatments on weight gain in infants aged 3 to 9 months. This was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test-post-test with a control group design. The subjects consisted of 20 infants in the case group and 20 infants in the intervention group at Mahanum Clinic. The results showed that the average weight gain in infants aged 3-9 months in the intervention group was 740.48 grams, while the average weight gain in the control group was 206.48 grams. The results of the Paired Sample T-test showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that both baby spa and baby massage have an effect on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months. The results of the Independent T-test showed a p-value of 0.004 < 0.05, indicating that there is a significant difference between baby spa and baby massage on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months, with baby spa being superior to baby massage. It is recommended that midwives use baby spa as an appropriate health promotion strategy to increase infant weight.
