Abstract

Background: High-risk pregnancies can cause more complications for the mother and fetus during pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium compared to normal pregnancies. High-risk factors during pregnancy can increase worry and stress, which can influence labor and delivery and are risk factors for postpartum depression. During pregnancy, stress can increase the risk of having a premature, low-birth-weight baby. Hypnoprenatal is an effective communication method to incorporate positive suggestions into the subconscious mind of pregnant women to reduce anxiety and stress during pregnancy. Objectives: to determine the effect of hypnoprenatal intervention on anxiety and stress in high-risk pregnant women in the North Tapanuli District. Methods: This research method used a pre-experimental method with a one group pre-test post-test design. Samples were taken by the purposive sampling method, which, based on the inclusion criteria, obtained as many as 36 high-risk pregnant women who experience anxiety and stress. Hypnoprenatal intervention was carried out for 3 days, twice a day, and then observations and interviews were carried out using the DAS 42 questionnaire. Data analysis used a paired t-test. The results showed that the characteristics of the respondents based on the age of the majority were >35 years (44.7%), secondary education (33.3%), farmer's work (52.8%), primigravidas (17%), high-risk pregnancies (72.7%), and low risk (27.8%).Results : The results of the statistical tests showed differences and decreased levels of anxiety and stress in pregnant women at risk before and after the hypnoprenatal intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Conclusions: hypnoprenatal has a significant effect on the level of anxiety and stress among pregnant women at risk. It is recommended that pregnant women use hypnoprenatal techniques to help reduce anxiety and stress during pregnancy, which affects the mother's psychological condition.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in toddlers that has lifelong impacts on their health, human resources, and economic growth. The results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) show that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia decreased from 24.4% in 2021 to 21.6% in 2022 . The target prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 14% by 2024. The incidence of stunting in North Tapanuli is already chronic, with the prevalence of stunting increasing from 26.7% in 2021 to 27.4% in 2022. The selection of animal protein from local food sources with digital literacy is expected to accelerate the reduction of stunting. This study aims to analyze the effect of using a local food-based menu and applying digital literacy to increase the height of stunted children. This type of research is a quasi-experimental study using pre- and post-tests with a control group design in July-September in North Tapanuli Regency to compare the increase in height gain with local food. The sample consisted of 34 stunted children aged 12-60 months. Height measurements were taken every month after three months of intervention. Data were analyzed using a T-test with a 95% confidence level. This study showed that local food-based menus with digital literacy could increase the height of children aged 12-60 months p-value: was 0.014 <0.05. In the control group (without receiving local food-based menu intervention with digital literacy), there was no effect on increasing height p-value 0.125>0.05. The application of a local food-based menu with the use of digital literacy has an effect in increasing the height of children who are stunted, digital literacy can help parents access information, and educate families, through applications and social media so that this research is important, useful to introduce a new approach in handling stunting, namely combining local food with digital literacy.

Abstract

Giving birth is the highest expression of female sexuality, using the same hormones (oxytocin, prolactin, and endorphin.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Ibu primipara biasanya mengalami rasa kecemasan yang tinggi dalam menghadapi proses persalinan, hal tersebut dapat mempengaruhi kekuatan kontraksi ibu untuk mendorong janin keluar selama proses persalinan. Persalinan dapat berjalan lancar jika ibu mampu menyelaraskan antara pernafasan dengan kontraksi uterus yang dirasakan, hal tersebut dapat dilakukan jika ibu dalam kondisi yang rileks. Aplikasi hipnosis dalam obstetri saat ini menjadi trend, khususnya dalam merencanakan persalinan yang fisiologis tanpa disertai gangguan psikologis seperti cemas yang berlebihan. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Hypnobirthing Terhadap Tingkat Kecemasan Ibu Inpartu Kala I di Puskesmas Sarulla Kecamatan Pahae Jae Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara Tahun 2022. Metode: Experiment semu (quasi experiment) yang menggunakan desain posttest only control group design untuk membandingkan ibu yang diberi Hypnobirthing dengan yang tidak diberi hypnobirthing. Jumlah sampel seluruhnya dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 20 Ibu inpartu yang dibagi dalam 2 kelompok, yaitu 10 Ibu inpartu dengan Hypnobirthing dan 10 Ibu inpartu tanpa menggunakan Hypnobirthing. Penelitian dilakukan di Puskesmas Sarulla Kecamatan Pahae Jae Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara bulan Januari-Desember 2022. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampel. Analisis data: menggunakan analisis univariat, bivariat dengan menggunakan uji T Test. Hasil: Uji T Paired SPSS dapat disimpulkan bahwa nilai korelasi antara 2 variabel tersebut yaitu 0,973 artinya hubungan kuat dan positif. Dan nilai Sig tingkat signifikansi hubungan dengan hasil 0,000 yang artinya signifikan pada level 0,01 ada perbedan tingkat kecemasan perlakuan dengan hypnotherapy dan tanpa hypnotherapy. Saran: dalam menangani nyeri persalinan hendaknya menggunakan tekhnik hypnobirthing karena sangat efektif dalam menangani nyeri persalinan, penerapan tekhnik hypnobirthing ini harus dilakukan bertahap atau diajarkan dalam kelas-kelas ibu hamil, dan minimal diajarkan 2 minggu sebelum ibu bersalin maka hasilnya akan efektif.
