Abstract

Every pregnant woman will experience various changes that occur in the first trimester, second trimester and third trimester. One of the discomforts experienced by third trimester pregnant women is musculoskeletal changes that cause pain in the mother's back. Pain therapy can be done pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. One of the non-pharmacological pain therapies is endorphin massage, which is a light touch or massage technique that can stimulate the body to release endorphin compounds which are pain relievers and can create a feeling of comfort. This study aims to determine the effect of endorphin massage on reducing back pain in third trimester pregnant women. This research method uses pre experiment with pre-test post test one group using the Wilcoxon test and sampling using the total population of 15 pregnant women. The research was conducted in April-May 2023. The results of the study obtained the average value of the pain scale before being given endorphin massage is 4.93, after being given endorphin massage down to 2.60. This shows there is a significant effectiveness of endorphin massage on reducing back pain in third trimester pregnant women. The results of the Wilcoxon sign rank test Z score = -3.529 and p = 0.000 where α = 0.05 then p <0.05 means there is an effect of endorphin massage on reducing the intensity of back pain in pregnant women Trimester III.

Abstract

Background: Sleep disturbances are commonly experienced by perimenopausal women due to hormonal fluctuations and psychosocial changes. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly recommended to manage sleep problems safely and effectively in this population. Benson relaxation therapy is a mind–body intervention that induces a relaxation response and has shown potential benefits for sleep regulation. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of Benson relaxation therapy on sleep quality among perimenopausal women. Methods: This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study was conducted at Tulung Selapan Primary Health Center, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, Indonesia, in November 2024. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria, including perimenopausal women aged 45–55 years who experienced sleep disturbances and were not using sleep-affecting medications. Benson relaxation therapy was administered for five consecutive days with a duration of 10 minutes per session. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired statistical tests. Results: The results demonstrated an improvement in sleep quality following Benson relaxation therapy. The proportion of participants with good sleep quality increased, while no participants remained in the poor sleep quality category after the intervention. The mean sleep quality score decreased from pre-test to post-test, indicating improved sleep quality, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Benson relaxation therapy was effective in improving sleep quality among perimenopausal women. The intervention offers a simple, safe, and feasible non-pharmacological approach for managing sleep disturbances during the perimenopausal period.
