Abstract

Sub uterine involution is one of the pathological symptoms of the postpartum period, which causes complications. This is indicated by the size of the fundus uterine, which is greater than the normal size and elongated outflow of lochia. One of the non-pharmacological methods for preventing sub uterine involution is postpartum yoga which focuses on physical and breathing exercises, strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles, and relaxation of autosuggestions. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of postpartum yoga on uterine involution. A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test with the control group was applied in this study. Thirty-eight postpartum women received postpartum yoga as the intervention group. The control group was comprised of 19 women. The gain score of uterine involution in the intervention group was 9.14 ± 1.27 and in the control group 7.20 ± 1.11. The Cohen’s effect size test is 1.63. The result of the mann whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group with p value 0,000. The result of determination (R Square), postpartum yoga had an effect of 40.3% on uterine involution after being controlled simultaneously with parity, frequency of breastfeeding, and anxiety. Postpartum yoga is effective to strengthen the uterine muscles, facilitate blood circulation, and stimulate neurohormonal so it could accelerate uterine involution. Further studies could measure of fundus uterine daily. Future researchers can develop postpartum yoga research with other variables such as anxiety, urinary incontinence, quality of life for postpartum women, and hormonal variables including oxytocin, endorphins, and cortisol. Keywords: postpartum yoga, postpartum period, postpartum exercise, uterine involution

Abstract

Perineal trauma commonly impacts on childbirth women due to laceration or intentional because of an episiotomy. The study aimed to examine the effect of AcuYoga postpartum on decreasing the pain among primiparous postpartum with perineal trauma. A quasi-experimental, pre-test, and post-test design with a non-equivalent control group were applied in this study. Thirty-four samples were allocated to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the AcuYoga postpartum, and the control group received the general postnatal exercises. The findings showed that there are significant differences in pain levels among the experimental group who received the program than a control group who receive routine care (p-value<0.05). There are significant differences in pain levels among the experimental group before and after program implementation (p<0.05). Further studies need to examine Acuyoga on other variables such as duration of perineal wound healing, the process of elimination, and clinical biomarkers Keywords: Acuyoga, exercise, primipara, pain, perineal trauma

Abstract

Acuyoga is a non-pharmacological therapy that has the benefit of accelerating blood circulation to the fetus. The study aimed to examine the effect of Acuyoga to fetal heart rate among pregnant women with hypertension. We conduct a quasi-experimental, pretest and posttest with control group design. Thirty total was allocated in the experimental and control groups. Each group consisted of 15 respondents. Patients in the experimental group received the Acuyoga postpartum awhile control group received the prenatal yoga. the intervention was carried out twice a week for four weeks with a duration of sixty minutes. The results of the dependent statistical test showed an average Fetal Heart Rate test before intervention in the experimental group of 133.47x/minute and after the intervention was given to 146.27 x/minute increasing of 12.8 x/minute. Independent t-test results obtained p-value 0.015 (<0.050). The size of the Cohen d effect is 0.94, which means that acuyoga is very effective in reducing fetal heart rate. Acuyoga for twice a week for four weeks with a duration of sixty minutes was effective to increase fetal heart rate in pregnant women with hypertension

Abstract

This study aimed to examine relationship between age, sex, type of stroke, admission time, frequency of attacks, comorbidities, and muscle strength with functional abilities among stroke patients. A cross-sectional was applied in this study. The findings showed that there was relationship between muscle strength and functional ability among stroke patients. However, there is no relationship between age, type of stroke, commorbidities, and experience of stroke attack with functional ability among stroke patients. Inconclusion stroke is a major cause of functional disorders Keyword: mangosteen peel hydrogel, wound healing, perineal, postpartum women

Abstract

Anemia is one of the health problems in Indonesia.  It was due to the suboptimal absorption of Fe and increased body acidity. Alkaline water is an alternative to improve hemoglobin levels since it can maximize the absorption of iron and balance the body's acid-base. The study aimed to examine the combination of alkaline water and iron tablets on Increasing the hemoglobin levels. A quasi-experimental study method with pre-test and post-test study with control group design. Forty-two samples were assigned to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received a combination of alkaline water with a pH of 9.5 as much as 1 liter and 60 mg iron tablets for 14 days. The control group received 60 mg of iron tablets. The assessment of hemoglobin levels was conducted before and after treatment. The results showed that the combination of alkaline water and iron tablets positively affected the Hb level among adolescents. The results showed that the variety of alkaline water and iron tablets positively affected adolescents' Hb levels. The alkaline water can be proposed as an innovation to increase hemoglobin levels. Further studies are expected to control the socio-cultural factor and food factor. Future researchers can develop studies related to alkaline water by adding other variables, namely blood pH and Malondialdehyde (MDA)
