Abstract

Background: The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is still high in Indonesia, especially in Bengkulu. Consuming papaya is considered as one of the solutions to increase hemoglobin and hematocrit level. Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of consuming papaya on the level of hemoglobin and hematocrit in pregnant women. Methods: This study employed a true experiment with randomized pretest and posttest design with control group. There were 42 respondents recruited in this study using simple random sampling. Randomization was performed to divide the samples into two groups, namely 21 respondents in a treatment group and 21 respondents in a control group. A total of 110 grams of papaya was given to the intervention group every day for 14 days. Data were analyzed using dependent t-test and independent t-test. Result: There was a significant effect of consuming papaya on the hemoglobin and hematocrit level with p-value 0.000 (< .05). The mean difference between two groups showed that hemoglobin level (control group 10.010 gr/dL; intervention group 10.838 gr/dL) and hematocrit level (control group 27.43 %; intervention group 30.10 %). Conclusion: Consuming papaya has a significant effect on changes in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. It is suggested that consuming papaya should be one of alternative treatments for midwives to prevent anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding among postpartum mothers has been a problem due to low milk supply. As a result, mothers often decide to give formula milk or other additional foods, which may affect infant’s growth and development. Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of moringa oliefera on the levels of prolactin and breast milk production (baby’s weight and sleep duration) in postpartum mothers. Methods: Quasi-Experimental study with non-equivalent control group design. There were 30 respondents recruited by purposive sampling, consisted of 15 respondents in intervention group and 15 respondents in the control group. This study was conducted from November until December 2016 in Four Midwives Independent Practice (BPM) in the working area of the Health Center of Tlogosari Wetan Semarang. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test. Results: Findings showed that there was a mean difference of prolactin level in the intervention group (231.72 ng / ml) and the control group (152.75 ng / ml), and a significant effect on increasing the levels of prolactin (p = 0.002). The mean of baby’s weight in the intervention group was 3783.33 grams and in the control group was 3599.00 grams. However, there was no significant effect of moringa oleifera on baby’s weight (p = 0.313> 0.05), while the mean difference on sleep duration was 128.20 minutes in the intervention group and 108.80 minutes in the control group. There was a significant effect on baby’s sleep duration (p= 0.000). Conclusion: There were significant effects of moringa oleifera on mother’s prolactin and sleep duration of the baby. However, there was no significant effect on baby’s weight. Thus, it can be suggested that moringa oleifera can be used as an alternative treatment to increase breast milk production and prolactin hormones. Midwives should promote the benefits of moringa leaves as one of alternative supplements.

Abstract

Background: Limited choice of contraception for males is one of the reasons why their participation is low. Secang wood is considered as an alternative contraception that has an influence in the morphology and number of spermatozoa and reversible in nature. Objective: To examine the effect of extracts of secang wood in the morphology of spermatozoa, sperm count and reversible process in male mice. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with randomized posttest only control group design. There were 32 male rats (Mus Muscullus L) recruited in this study. Four groups were involved, namely: 1) ethanol group, 2) chloroform fraction, 3) water fraction, and 4) control group. Each group consisted of 8 mice. There were two treatments in this study: 1) each group was given secang extract with dose 50 mg/25 gram of weight, 2) the observation period was 10 days after the treatment. Four mice in each group was dissected to see the morphology and sperm count while the other four mice were allowed to live and maintained until 20 days to see reversible morphology and sperm count. Results: The extract of secang wood at a dose of 50mg/25gram weight could increase the abnormal sperm morphology and lower sperm count. There was a significant difference between the treatment group and control group with p-value <0.05. The extract was also reversible on the morphology and sperm count. Conclusion: There was a significant effect of secang wood extract on sperm morphology, the number of spermatozoa, and reversible process. This study provides the insight of scientific information about the effect of the secang extracts on the number and morphology of spermatozoa, and it could be used as a basis for further research in human in the development of natural contraceptive on a reversible man.

Abstract

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea occurs because of the excessive amount of prostaglandins in the blood. Papaya leaf extract is considered to be able to reduce prostaglandin and menstrual pain. Objective: This study aims to prove that papaya leaf extract (Carica Papaya L.) can decrease the level of menstrual pain and prostaglandin levels in primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: A true experimental study with randomized pretest posttest control group design. There were 32 samples recruited using simple random sampling, with 16 each assigned to an experiment group and a control group. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure menstrual pain, and the level of prostaglandin was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Independent t-test and paired t-test were performed for data analysis. Results: There was statistically significant difference of menstrual pain and prostaglandin level before and after intervention with p-value 0.000 (<0.005), which indicated that papaya leaf extract had a significant effect on reducing menstrual pain. The decrease of menstrual pain in the experimental group was -3.375 and in the control group was -3.438; while the decrease of prostaglandin level in the experimental group was -56.971 and in the control group was -57.557. Conclusion: Provision of papaya leaf extract (Carica Papaya L.) significantly decreased the level of menstrual pain and prostaglandin levels in primary dysmenorrhea. Papaya leaf extract can be used as a safe and effective herbal medicine for primary dysmenorrhea which has almost the same efficacy as mefenamic acid.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum anemia among mothers is a health problem in Indonesia. Consuming moringa oleifera is assumed as one of the efforts to deal with anemia. However, lack of the study conducted in the working in the working area of Health Center of Tlogosari Wetan, Indonesia. Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effect of moringa oleifera on blood profile in postpartum mothers. Methods: The study was quasi-experimental study with pretest posttest control group design. The sample in this study were all postpartum mothers in the working area of the Health Center of Tlogosari Wetan. It was 30 respondents selected by purposive sampling, divided into intervention group (15 respondents) who received moringa leaf capsule and iron tablet, and control group (15 respondents) were given iron tablet. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test. Results: Findings showed a significant difference in the mean of hemoglobin level (intervention group 11.9467; control group 11.0600), hematocrit (intervention group 38.3867; control group 33.8133), thrombocyte (intervention group 3.02536; control group 2.35805), and erythrocyte (intervention group 4.30137; control group 3.78206) with p-value < 0.05. Conclusion: there was a significant effect of moringa oleifera on changes in blood profile (hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, thrombocyte) in postpartum mothers in the working area of the Health Center of Tlogosari Wetan. Thus, it is suggested that moringa leaves could be used to prevent anemia in postpartum mothers.
