Abstract

Background: Pruritus is a common discomfort occurring in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, triggering a scratch. The treatment of pruritus can be administered through pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies; however, many pregnant women avoid pharmacological medications due to concerns regarding potential adverse effects on the fetus. Topical Aloe vera gel is a recommended non-pharmacological alternative with no side effects for mother or infant. This research investigates the impact of Aloe vera gel application on pruritus in pregnant women. Method: This research used a one-group pretest-posttest design. 15 third-trimester pregnant women with pruritus were selected by purposive sampling at Mangkubumi Health Center. Participants applied the treatment twice daily for two weeks. Result: Before the aloe vera gel intervention, 40% of participants experienced mild itching and 60% moderate itching. Post-intervention, 6.6% reported complete relief, while 93.4% showed decreased itching intensity. Based on the Wilcoxon statistical test, a highly significant difference was observed (p = 0,001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that there was a statistically significant effect of aloe vera gel for reducing pruritus in pregnant women.

The ESA chair is designed to facilitate an upright position during labor, which, in theory, speeds up the birth process and increases maternal comfort. Objective: to analyze the comparison of the duration of  mothers using ESA chairs and delivery beds at independent midwives in Tasikmalaya city. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental approach with a two-group-posttest-only design, namely interventions in the group of mothers giving birth using ESA chairs and the group of mothers giving birth using delivery beds. The sampling technique used a total of 24 respondents. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The results of the analysis showed that the duration of labor between the two groups showed that the average duration of labor in the ESA Chair group (34.23) was significantly faster than the average duration of labor in the “Delivery Bed” group (51.45). The results of statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test showed a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: ESA chairs are more effective than delivery beds in shortening the duration of labor in mothers.
