Abstract

Introduction: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a prolonged nutritional condition resulting from insufficient energy intake, which can increase the risk of anemia, preeclampsia, infections, and impaired fetal growth. CED also contributes to preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), and congenital anomalies and raises the risk of cognitive decline and chronic diseases later in life. Objective: To explore the effectiveness of nutritional optimization through consuming sandwich biscuits and boiled eggs among pregnant women with CED. Method: This study employed a true experimental design with two pretest-posttest groups, involving 20 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters with CED. The intervention group (n=10) consumed 3 sandwich biscuits and 2 boiled eggs daily, while the control group (n=10) consumed 3 sandwich biscuits daily, both for 30 days. Measurements included upper arm circumference (UAC) and body weight (BW), analyzed using independent t-tests and paired t-tests. Results: The intervention group showed a significant increase in UAC (from 22.1 to 23.9 cm) and BW (from 43.2 to 45.4 kg), with mean differences of 1.8 cm and 2.2 kg, respectively (p=0.000). The control group also showed significant increases in UAC (from 22.2 to 23.6 cm) and BW (from 43.8 to 45.3 kg), with mean differences of 1.4 cm and 1.5 kg, respectively (p=0.000). Conclusion: The combined consumption of sandwich biscuits and boiled eggs significantly improves UAC and BW, indicating its potential to reduce CED risk in pregnant women. Further research is needed to understand better CED, particularly in relation to UAC and BW changes.

Abstract

Introduction: Labor pain varies in intensity, with many women experiencing high levels during delivery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sacral massage on pain intensity and fetal head descent during the first stage of labor. Method: A quantitative study was conducted with a sample of laboring mothers divided into intervention and control groups. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, with criteria including mothers aged 20-35 years, active first-stage labor, good maternal and fetal health, cephalic presentation, and uncomplicated labor. The intervention involved lumbar-sacral massage for 20 minutes, repeated once, with intervals of 5-10 minutes. The control group received relaxation through breathing exercises. The study took place from January to March 2024. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and t-tests with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The intervention group significantly reduced labor pain (pre: 6.90, post: 3.70, p=0.000). There was no significant difference in fetal head descent duration between groups (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Lumbar sacral massage is an effective non-pharmacological method for reducing labor pain and is recommended for pain management in midwifery practice.
