Abstract

Background: The problem of low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is partly influenced by insufficient breast milk production. The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in infants under six months of age in Central Kalimantan in 2020 was 52.98%. This percentage was among the lowest nationally. In 2021, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in infants under six months of age reached 56.8%, and in 2022 it did 60.5%. The figure in 2022 exceeded the set target, but several regencies/cities still had low coverage. Insufficient breast milk supply impacts on the nutritional status of the child. Low breast milk production also arises due to several other factors during breastfeeding, namely late initiation of breastfeeding, long breastfeeding time, sore nipples, breast pain and swelling, and inverted nipples. Aims: The study sought to measure the level of success of turmeric topical application in shortening the time it takes to initiate breast milk secretion. Methods: The study uses a true experimental posttest-only control group design. A subject of 50 mothers having full-term spontaneous deliveries and with normal breasts was used in the study. The sample was divided into two groups: control and intervention groups. The sample was selected using a matching process based on age, parity, and early initiation of breastfeeding. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria were offered whether they were willing to be given turmeric compresses after the delivery process. Subjects who were willing were included in the intervention group and those who were not willing were included in the control group. Age and parity in the intervention group were all taken, while the control group was selected to match the intervention group. The intervention group was given a treatment with a turmeric compress on the breasts for six hours. All participants were then observed for time of breast milk secretion initiation. In this experiment, we didn't perform blinding, but we managed it by having the midwife administer the turmeric compress just once during the delivery process before sending the client home. Following this, we recorded the results, specifically the initial breast milk release in both the intervention and the control group. Results: The average time periods it took to initiate breast milk secretion in the intervention and control groups were 509.96 minutes (8.5 hours) and 1573.76 minutes (26.2 hours), respectively. There was a significant difference (p = 0.023) in the time of breast milk secretion initiation of 1063.8 minutes or 17.73 hours between both groups. Conclusion: Applying a turmeric compress on the breasts of postpartum mothers may shorten the time it takes to initiate breast milk secretion.   Received: 05 August  2024, Reviewed: 23 August 2024, Revised: 21 September 2024, Accepted: 13 October 2024.

Abstract

Increased progesterone levels during pregnancy can lead to haemorrhoids, which require proper management to minimize risks to both the mother and fetus. Since haemorrhoidectomy is not a suitable option for pregnant women, alternative treatments with minimal side effects are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories in reducing the degree of haemorrhoids in pregnant women. This study employed a true experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results study show that among pregnant women who used standard suppositories, 23 participants (71.8%) showed no change in the degree of haemorrhoids, while 9 participants (28.8%) experienced a reduction in severity. In contrast, all 32 participants (100%) who used Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories experienced a decrease in haemorrhoid severity. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two groups, with a p-value of 0.0013, indicating that Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories were significantly more effective in reducing haemorrhoids compared to standard suppositories. The conclusion is Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories effectively reduce the severity of haemorrhoids in pregnant women and may serve as a safer alternative to conventional treatments. Further research with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-ups is recommended to validate these findings and explore the potential mechanisms of Phaleria macrocarpa in haemorrhoid treatment.

Abstract

Masalah kekebalan tubuh menjadi isu penting dalam pencegahan penyakit menular, terutama pada remaja yang cenderung kurang mengenal pengobatan tradisional. Indonesia, termasuk Kalimantan Tengah, memiliki kekayaan tanaman obat yang berpotensi dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan imunitas secara alami. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja mengenai pemanfaatan tanaman obat tradisional sebagai upaya peningkatan daya tahan tubuh. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada siswa-siswi MAN Kota Palangka Raya yang tergabung dalam ekstrakurikuler Palang Merah Remaja (PMR) berjumlah 60 peserta, terdiri dari 27 laki-laki dan 33 perempuan, dengan rentang usia 15–17 tahun. Edukasi diberikan melalui penyuluhan interaktif menggunakan media PowerPoint, visual, dan leaflet. Desain kegiatan mencakup penyuluhan dan evaluasi akhir menggunakan kuesioner 10 item berskala tiga poin (setuju–netral–tidak setuju). Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan tingginya respons positif peserta: pemahaman materi mencapai 88,33%, kesesuaian materi dan media 91,67%, serta peningkatan pengetahuan 80%. Tanaman obat seperti temulawak, meniran, sambiloto, dan pasak bumi diperkenalkan sebagai imunostimulan alami berbasis kearifan lokal yang mudah diakses. Kegiatan ini meningkatkan antusiasme remaja terhadap tanaman obat serta mendorong pelestarian kekayaan hayati lokal. Edukasi kesehatan berbasis herbal tradisional terbukti relevan dan layak dikembangkan lebih luas sebagai strategi promosi kesehatan yang preventif dan berkelanjutan.
