Abstract

Background: Pain during childbirth is subjective and influenced by various factors, including psychosocial factors, habits and women’s perception of the meaning of childbirth. Uncontrolled labor can harm the mother and fetus. Excessive pain increases anxiety and restlessness in pregnant women, causing increased catecholamine secretion. Non-pharmacological complementary therapy techniques will be used to reduce labor pain. Objective: To determine the effect of warm water compresses with endorphin massage on reducing labor pain intensity during the first stage active phase. Method: This type of quantitative research is a one-group pretest-posttest design with 15 mothers in the first stage of labor as participants, obtained using total sampling. Warm water compress and endorphin massage are performed simultaneously for 20 minutes. Labor pain data was collected using the Wong Baker Faces Scale instrument. Non-parametric statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon sign rank test. Results: The characteristics of the 15 respondents include 11 people (73.3%), 11 people (73.3%), seven people (46.7%), 10 people (66.7%), 10 people in the multiparity category, and 13 people in the 20-35 year age category (86.7%). The results of the Wilcoxon sign rank test showed that giving a warm water compress combined with endorphin massage had a significant effect (p-value <0.05) on reducing the intensity of labor pain in the first active phase. Conclusion: Warm water compresses combined with endorphin massage showed a positive influence in managing the intensity of the pain scale in the first stage of labor

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in rural regions such as Bangun Harjo Village, Central Kalimantan. Stunting affects not only physical growth but also cognitive development, leading to long-term impacts on productivity, health, and quality of life. Despite various government interventions, stunting continues to prevail due to poor maternal nutrition knowledge, inadequate feeding practices, and socio-economic challenges. Case presentation: In Bangun Harjo Village, high stunting rates among toddlers are largely attributed to improper complementary feeding (MPASI) and limited maternal understanding of nutrition. The Kupang Island Health Center initiated a community service intervention called "AKUR PENTING" (Stunting Prevention Kitchen Action) aimed at educating postpartum mothers and mothers of toddlers about proper feeding practices using locally available, nutrient-rich foods. The program included cooking demonstrations, distribution of educational materials, and active involvement of local healthcare workers. Discussion: The intervention significantly improved maternal knowledge about nutrition, with participants showing enthusiasm and engagement in learning how to prepare balanced meals. However, sustained behavior change and addressing broader socio-economic issues such as poverty and food insecurity remain challenges. Community-based interventions, combined with government support and policies, are critical to ensuring long-term success in reducing stunting. Conclusion: The AKUR PENTING intervention demonstrated the importance of maternal education and community engagement in stunting prevention. While the program successfully increased awareness and practical skills, comprehensive, multi-sectoral efforts are necessary to address the root causes of stunting, including socio-economic disparities and food insecurity.
