Abstract

Nausea and vomiting afflict many pregnant women, particularly in the first trimester, prompting interest in non-pharmacological remedies like citrus lemon aromatherapy and PC6 acupressure massage. Yet, comparative studies on their effectiveness remain scarce. This research aimed to assess the efficacy of these interventions in reducing nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women with emesis gravidarum. Using a quasi-experimental design, two groups of participants received either citrus lemon aromatherapy or PC6 acupressure massage. The PUQE-24 scale measured symptoms before and after the interventions. Results indicated significant reductions in symptoms for both groups (p < 0.05), with no significant difference in effectiveness between the interventions (p = 0.465). These findings underscore the potential of non-pharmacological therapies to alleviate pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, suggesting their integration into prenatal care practices for improved maternal well-being. Highlight: Non-drug Relief: Citrus lemon aromatherapy and PC6 acupressure massage. First-Trimester Aid: Efficacy for pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting. Equal Effectiveness: Aromatherapy versus acupressure for symptom reduction. Keyword: Nausea, vomiting, pregnancy, aromatherapy, acupressure

Abstract

Anemia and neonatal jaundice are major contributors to infant mortality. This study investigates the effects of delayed umbilical cord clamping on neonatal hemoglobin levels and jaundice. Using a quasi-experimental posttest-only control design, 101 newborns were sampled and divided into immediate clamping (<3 minutes) and delayed clamping (>3 minutes) groups. Hemoglobin levels were measured within 24 hours, and jaundice was assessed on days 4-7. Results showed that delayed clamping significantly increased hemoglobin levels (P = 0.000) and reduced jaundice incidence (P = 0.010). The findings suggest that delayed clamping improves early infant health outcomes and should be adopted in health facilities. Highlight: Delayed clamping improves hemoglobin, reduces jaundice in newborns. Quasi-experimental design compares immediate vs. delayed cord clamping effects. Adopting delayed clamping enhances early infant health outcomes. Keyword: Anemia, neonatal jaundice, delayed cord clamping, hemoglobin levels, infant health

Abstract

This retrospective cohort study investigates the effectiveness of administering calcium and aspirin to pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia in reducing its incidence. Analyzing data from 143 pregnant women from January to December 2021, all subjects underwent preeclampsia risk screening. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant association (p < 0.001) between the consumption of calcium and aspirin and preeclampsia occurrence, with those receiving both supplements exhibiting a 3.8-fold decrease in incidence compared to those consuming calcium alone (OR: 3.8; 95% CI: 1.9-7.8). These findings underscore the potential of targeted supplementation with calcium and aspirin to mitigate preeclampsia risk, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in obstetric care. Highlight: Early intervention reduces preeclampsia risk. Statistical significance: calcium and aspirin association with preeclampsia. Targeted supplementation improves maternal health.
