Abstract

One disease that is considered very scary in society is cancer. Treatment such as chemotherapy is needed to kill cancer cells. However, chemotherapy also has side effects both physical and psychological. Psychological disorders occur such as feeling anxious or worrying too much about something that can affect the ability to carry out activities. One of the psychological therapies carried out is mindfulness techniques and lavender aromatherapy to reduce anxiety levels in cervical cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Mindfulness techniques can provide benefits for cancer patients in achieving relaxation of anxiety during chemotherapy treatment. Apart from mindfulness techniques, providing aromatherapy is also an alternative for reducing anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The aromatherapy used to reduce anxiety is the aroma of lavender. Lavender aromatherapy can reduce anxiety and stress because it has relaxing properties that can have a positive effect on the nervous system and mood.

Abstract

The global rise in diabetes mellitus (DM) among women of reproductive age poses significant challenges to achieving optimal exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rates, especially in low- and middle-income countries such as Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge and experience of mothers with DM and their independence in providing EBF, addressing an urgent need for targeted intervention and policy support for this vulnerable population. An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at community health centers in Pekanbaru from June to November 2024, involving 98 breastfeeding mothers diagnosed with DM, recruited through convenience sampling. Structured questionnaires measured maternal knowledge, prior breastfeeding experience, and independence in EBF. The results showed that 57.1% of mothers had good knowledge and 53.1% had adequate breastfeeding experience, while 69.4% demonstrated independence in providing EBF. Bivariate analysis revealed significant relationships between knowledge and independence (p = 0.026) as well as experience and independence (p = 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of enhancing education and support for mothers with DM to improve EBF practices. It is recommended that healthcare policies and programs prioritize continuous, tailored education and counseling to empower mothers with DM and increase EBF coverage.
