Abstract

Background: Postpartum mothers often face discomforts such as back pain, uterine cramps, fatigue, and perineal pain. Perineal pain after an episiotomy can significantly impact daily activities, maternal quality of life, and the mother-infant relationship. Effective management is crucial to decrease the perineal pain. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of lavender oil on relieving perineal pain in postpartum mothers. Methods: A pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest format was used. Participants, selected through purposive sampling, were assessed for pain intensity using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from 0 to 10. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test to assess changes in pain levels before and after the intervention. Results: The significance level was found to be 0.004 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity. Conclusion: Lavender oil aromatherapy effectively reduces perineal pain in postpartum mothers. Although the study lacked a control group, lavender oil was found to be a safe and effective treatment, with no reported side effects.

Abstract

Despite a decline in infant mortality rates (IMR) over the years, it remains a critical issue. Evidence-based interventions could prevent many infant deaths, but barriers such as a lack of health specialists and poor care quality persist. This study aims to assess the impact of an educational program on skin-to-skin contact to promote Early Essential Newborn Care (EENC) among midwives and nurses. Objective to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on skin-to-skin contact in improving midwives' and nurses' knowledge and skills related to EENC. A quasi-experimental design without a control group was used. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on two criteria: 1) Midwives and nurses working in delivery rooms or perinatology units, and 2) Those with over five years of experience. Recruitment involved distributing cooperation requests to midwives and nurses at government hospitals and community health centers across Indonesia. Ultimately, 32 participants were enrolled. The study employed a self-administered questionnaire, pre-test and post-test assessments on skin-to-skin knowledge and skills, and training through video and lecture. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and t-tests. The average age of participants was 41.5 years (SD = 9.57). The training significantly improved knowledge (p = 0.003), though two of twelve questions showed no significant change. Limited participation in EENC training was observed. While the educational program improved overall knowledge, certain areas need further attention. Regular training and continuing education are essential for enhancing midwives' and nurses' skills. Future research will focus on evaluating newborn resuscitation and care initiatives, particularly breastfeeding knowledge.

Abstract

Profesi perawat berisiko terhadap stres kerja yang dapat mencetuskan sindrom pramenstruasi. Sindrom pramenstruasi yang terjadi ketika perawat bekerja akan berdampak pada penurunan produktivitas dan risiko terjadinya kecelakaan kerja, maka kondisi tersebut akan membahayakan pasien. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat stres kerja perawat, sindrom pramenstruasi, dan hubungan stres kerja perawat dengan sindrom pramenstruasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi potong lintang. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 160 perawat dalam usia subur di Rumah Sakit (RS) X Bekasi dan sebanyak 12 perawat termasuk ke dalam kriteria ekslusi penelitian yakni mengonsumsi kontrasespi oral atau menderita sindrom polikistik ovarium. Stres kerja perawat dibagi dalam 8 subskala yaitu beban kerja, konflik, kurangnya dukungan, ketidakpastian mengenai pengobatan pasien, berurusan dengan kematian dan sekarat, keputusan organisasi, persiapan yang tidak memadai, dan pelecehan seksual. Analisa univariat meliputi skor numerik dan persentase masing-masing skor subskala stres kerja perawat dan sindrom pramenstruasi. Hubungan antara skor stres kerja perawat dan 8 subskala stres kerja dengan sindrom pramenstruasi menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian didapatkan nilai stres kerja perawat sebesar 42,55 dan sebanyak 133 (89,9%) perawat mengalami stres kerja ringan. Nilai rata-rata sindrom pramenstruasi sebesar 38,6 dan sebanyak 113 perawat (76,4%) megalami gejala ringan. Subskala beban kerja, konflik, kurangnya dukungan, keputusan organisasi dan pelecehan seksual menunjukkan hubungan bermakna dan positif dengan sindrom pramenstruasi. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara stres kerja perawat dan sindrom pramenstruasi (p=0,002 ; r=0,250). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semakin meningkatnya skor stres kerja maka semakin tinggi skor sindrom pramenstruasi. Perawat diharapkan mampu untuk mengendalikan stres di tempat kerja sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya sindrom pramenstruasi yang berefek pada keselamatan pasien.

Abstract

Indonesia's neonatal mortality rate stands at 12 deaths per 1,000 live births, driven by prematurity, asphyxia, and congenital anomalies. Inconsistent Essential Newborn Care (EENC) implementation fuels preventable first-24-hour deaths. This study aims to assess EENC knowledge and practices among Indonesian health professionals. A cross-sectional survey of 132 experienced providers (>3 years in delivery/perinatology) from hospitals, community health centers, and independent midwifery practices used a validated questionnaire via Google Forms. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests identified associations (P<0.05). Overall, 66.4% showed poor EENC knowledge. Strengths included breastfeeding cues (99.2% correct attachment; 93.9% rooting), but deficits marked contraindications (34.8% for maternal hemorrhage >1,000 ml; 49.2% post-birth wheezing). Practices excelled in basics (93.2% recognized hypothermia/cord/skin-to-skin/breastfeeding/infection prevention; 90.2% upright positioning) yet faltered in sequencing: only 15.9% prioritized birth time announcement then thorough drying, 50.8% suctioned airways immediately, and 48.5% endorsed supine second-stage positioning. Workplace significantly affected knowledge (χ²=9.467, P=0.009): hospitals were the worst (79.1% poor), and independent midwifery practices were the best (33.3%). Age, education, experience, and training showed no association. Procedural sequencing and contraindication gaps stem from heavy workloads and patchy training. Skills-focused programs with supervision and supportive settings are essential to boost competency and decrease deaths. Observational studies should capture real behaviors and assess training/policy impacts on newborn outcomes.
