Abstract

Malaria is one of the highest causes of death in the world, including Indonesia. Even though in 2020 there has been a decrease incidence of malaria in Indonesia, several regions in Indonesia, especially the eastern part of Indonesia, are still malaria endemic areas. The Ministry of Health hopes that more areas will become malaria elimination and target Indonesia to be free of malaria by 2030. One of the provinces with a high incidence of malaria is West Papua, especially in the Manokwari Regency area. In 2021, of the 7,628 cases of malaria in West Papua, around 56% will occur in Manokwari Regency. Malaria is a disease that can attack anyone, groups that are more vulnerable and have a severe impact on malaria are pregnant women and children. The purpose of this community service is to provide education to increase pregnant women's knowledge about malaria so that they can carry out prevention and early detection of signs of malaria so that treatment can be carried out before it has a worse impact on pregnancy and the condition of the fetus.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common emotional reaction experienced by postpartum mothers due to physiological, psychological, and social changes that occur after childbirth. If not properly managed, this anxiety can negatively affect the mother’s recovery process, breast milk production, and the bonding between mother and baby. One of the non-pharmacological approaches increasingly developed to reduce anxiety is the administration of endorphin massage therapy. This therapy works by stimulating the release of endorphin hormones, which promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and increase comfort without the side effects associated with pharmacological therapy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of endorphin massage in reducing anxiety levels among postpartum mothers. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest without control group approach. The study was conducted at Manokwari Regional Hospital, West Papua Provincial Hospital, and Pelita Kasih Clinic, involving 30 postpartum mothers as respondents from July to September 2025. Data were collected using the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) questionnaire and analyzed using the Friedman test. Before receiving endorphin massage, most respondents experienced moderate (66.7%) and severe anxiety (26.7%). After the intervention, the majority showed a reduction in anxiety levels to the non-anxious (60%) and mild anxiety (26.7%) categories. The Friedman test result showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between anxiety levels before and after the intervention. The study concludes that endorphin massage is significantly effective in reducing anxiety levels among postpartum mothers. This therapy can serve as a safe, affordable, and easily applicable non-pharmacological intervention in midwifery care to support maternal mental health after childbirth.
