Abstract

Background: Labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor is a significant physiological and psychological challenge for women and may influence labor progression and childbirth experience. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly recommended to support maternal comfort and promote physiological labor. Warm compress therapy has been widely applied during the second stage of labor; however, evidence regarding its effectiveness during the active phase of the first stage of labor remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of warm compress therapy on labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study was conducted at PMB Erni Artiqoh, Bumi Makmur Village, involving 20 laboring women selected through total sampling. Labor pain intensity was measured using a numerical rating scale before and after the application of warm compress therapy. The intervention consisted of warm compress application at a temperature of 38–45°C for approximately 20 minutes during the active phase of labor. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The results showed a clear reduction in labor pain intensity following the intervention. Before the intervention, most participants reported severe pain levels, while after warm compress therapy, pain scores shifted to mild-to-moderate levels. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a statistically significant difference in labor pain intensity before and after the intervention (p = 0.001), indicating that warm compress therapy effectively reduced labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. Conclusion: Warm compress therapy was found to be effective in reducing labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. This non-invasive, low-cost intervention can be safely integrated into routine midwifery care to enhance maternal comfort during childbirth.

Abstract

Inadequate breast milk production and output is one of the problems that mothers can experience during the postpartum period and can be an obstacle to optimal breastfeeding. One of the efforts empirically used by the community to help facilitate breast milk production is the consumption of herbal drinks, one of which is turmeric and tamarind. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of administering turmeric and tamarind on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This study used a quantitative method using a pre-experimental design with an approach (One Group Pre-Post Test Design). The population in this study amounted to 24 postpartum mothers with a sample of 20 respondents. Breast milk production was measured using an observation sheet by recording the volume of breast milk in milliliters (mL) before and after administering turmeric and tamarind. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the distribution of breast milk production and bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study before being given turmeric tamarind on respondents' breast milk production were 10ml-30ml, after being given turmeric tamarind on respondents' breast milk production were 60ml-85ml and there was a significant difference in respondents before being given turmeric tamarind and after being given turmeric tamarind on breast milk production (P Value = 0.000). There was a significant difference in respondents before being given turmeric tamarind and after being given turmeric tamarind on breast milk production.
