Abstract

Background: Breast milk is the best food for babies, needed for optimal growth and development. The lack of milk production influences the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. Increasing breast milk production could be done non-pharmacologically, using warm herbal compresses as breast care.Purpose: Analyze the effect of warm herbal compresses as breast care on oxytocin hormone and postpartum mother's milk production. Methods: Quasi-experimental design pretest-posttest with the control group, respondents were 36 normal mothers on the third day of postpartum; 18 respondents intervention group, and 18 respondents control group. Warm herbal compresses were provided once per day with 20 minutes on each breast for three days. The oxytocin hormone was measured pre and post three days of treatment, the volume of breast milk was measured pre, post 2, and 3 days of treatment.Results: The intervention group's average difference in oxytocin hormone was 24.65 pg/ml, the control group was 2.48 pg/ml (p<0.01). The average increase in milk production pre and post-three days of treatment in the intervention group was 32,250 ml. In the control group, 26,472 ml (p<0.01), there was a significant difference in the average milk production between the two groups.Conclusion: Warm herbal compresses as breast care affects the oxytocin hormone and postpartum mother's milk production.

Abstract

Background: A perineal tear affects around 85% of women who give birth vaginally. Previous animal research has demonstrated the beneficial effects of turmeric extract gel on wound healing, which speeds up the process of repairing wounded tissue. However, since this research is only in vivo, more studies and clinical trials are required to evaluate the efficacy of using turmeric extract gel to treat perineal lacerations.Purpose: To analyze the potential of turmeric extract gel (Curcuma Longa Linn.) in reducing REEDA score and IL-6 levels in postpartum women.Method: This is a quasi-experiment study with pretest–posttest with control group design. The study respondents comprised 20 people in the intervention group who were given turmeric extract gel and amoxicillin and 20 in the control group who were given amoxicillin for seven days. Measurement of wound healing using the REEDA score while IL-6 levels using ELISA. Data analysis of used Friedman and Wilcoxon tests.Results: There was a significant decrease in the intervention group's REEDA score and IL-6 levels (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in the average decrease in REEDA score and IL-6 levels between the two groups (p<0.05). The administration of turmeric extract gel led to faster wound healing for two days compared to the control group, which was only given standard treatment.Conclusion: Turmeric extract gel can reduce REEDA score and IL-6 levels.

Abstract

Background: Technological advancements have changed various aspects of human life, including in the world of health. One technological breakthrough that dominates attention is artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence has proven its potential to revolutionize many fields, including the health sector. One of the urgent health problems that requires innovative solutions is detecting the problem of stunting in children under five.Purpose: The study aims to develop and test a measuring device that effectively determines the body height and nutritional status in toddlers 0-5 years.Method: This study is in Research and Development (R&D); it consisted of 5 stages: stage I (literature study), stage II (product development), stage III (expert validity and phase trials), stage IV (product revision and final product), and stage V (phase II trials).Results: The electronic measuring device for height and nutritional status has been created. The result is that the tool effectively determines the height and nutritional status. The value of the ultrasonic sensor works quite well, with a maximum test error value of 0.11 and an average of 0.033, which means the calibration value of the tool's sensitivity is valid in determining body height.Conclusion: The electronic measuring device effectively determines the body's height and nutritional status.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is 54.89%. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) exercises have proven to decrease the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Nowadays, the android application can be widely accessed anywhere and anytime, thus saving time and costs. There has never been a study that applies PMR, especially android-based dysmenorrhoea.Objective: The current study aimed to develop the PURE App, a PMR exercise android-based application, and to test the effectiveness of reducing the menstrual pain score of adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea.Method: This study conducted Research and Development (R&D), which consists of 4 stages, namely information collection, application design, expert validation and revision, and trial.Result: The PURE App has five features, ranging from pain screening to exercise. The trial results showed that the PURE App application effectively reduced menstrual pain in adolescents with dysmenorrhea. The treatment decreased pain score from 4.48±0.71 to 1.98±1.49 in the treatment group (p<0.001). The treatment group's post-measurement pain score was also significantly different compared to the control group, 1.98±1.49 and 4.90±1.10, respectively.Conclusion: The PURE App benefits teenagers, especially those with primary dysmenorrhea. This application will make it easier for teenagers to overcome pain because the exercises on the application can be accessed anytime and anywhere.
