Abstract

During this time, the handling of LBW infants in the form of incubator care requires a high cost, while the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) has not been able to reach the standard of increase. H-HOPE plus kinesthetic can help parents to care for their baby at home after returning from hospital care. ST36 and SP6 acupressure an essential role in stimulating the production of hormones that affect the absorption of nutrients so that optimal infant growth can be achieved. The study aimed to increase LBW infants' weight using the H-HOPE plus kinesthetic with ST36 and SP6 acupuncture. A randomized control trial (RCT) was applied in this study. We involved 30 LBW infants and divided them into two groups, including the experimental and control groups. The intervention group received the H-HOPE plus Kinesthetic method with acupressure ST36 SP6 for 14 days in 2x/15 minutes/day and KMC 1 hour/day and 15 infants, whereas the control group received the KMC for 14 days in 1 hour/day. The results showed that patients in the experimental group showed increasing the bodyweight within 14 days; approximately 629.33 grams showed p=0.001, meaning that the increase reached the standard of average increase (420 grams). The H-HOPE plus Kinesthetic method with acupressure ST 36 and SP 6 effectively increased LBW infants' weight Keywords : H-HOPE plus Kinesthetic, acupressure, weight, LBW infants.

Abstract

Gestational hypertension (GH) adverse effects on pregnancy and fetal development, but there are still a few non-pharmacological interventions that can control blood pressure. The study aimed to examine the impact of acumoxa therapy on reducing blood pressure among patients with GH. Thirty-four patients were admitted to three community health centers in Brebes Regency. They were selected and randomly divided into two groups, such as the experimental group and the control group. This study's participation was pregnant women randomly allocated to the experimental group (n= 17) and control group (n=17). The intervention group received acumoxa therapy. The control group received acupressure therapy at the same time of 5 minutes at each point in 3 sessions per week for four weeks. The points used between the intervention and control groups were almost the same. Acupoints HT 7 and LI11 are given acumoxa and acupressure. Point GV20 is only covered by pressure, and point KI3 is only moxibustion. Of the 34 women who completed the study, those who received acumoxa had significantly lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) (mean difference = 8 mmHg, p<0.05). Acumoxa therapy is an effective non-pharmacological method for reducing blood pressure in patients with gestational hypertension

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol can interfere with and change blood vessels' structure, resulting in impaired endothelial function causing lesions, plaques, occlusion, and embolism. Cupping therapy with ginger aromatherapy is one alternative treatment for hypercholesterolemia. It improved lipid profile levels. The study aimed to examine the effect of cupping therapy with ginger aromatherapy on reducing the lipid profile levels among hypercholesterolemia patients. This true experimental study design, pre-test, and post-test with non-equivalent control group design was applied in this study. Thirty samples were selected into the experimental group and the control group. The intervention group received the cupping therapy with ginger aromatherapy, while the control group only received the10 gr simvastatin drug per day. The lipid profile levels were measured on day 1 and day 21. The result showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group with a p-value<0.05. In conclusion, it was found that cupping therapy with ginger aromatherapy for 21 days was effective in reducing lipid profile levels among hypercholesterolemia patients. Further researchers are expected to develop research on cupping therapy's benefits with ginger aromatherapy to reduce lipid profiles or other pathological conditions
