Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage remains a major global health problem and a leading cause of maternal mortality. Effective uterine involution, supported by uterine contractions and the hormone oxytocin, plays a crucial role in preventing hemorrhage. In addition to pharmacological methods, oxytocin stimulation can be achieved non-pharmacologically through oxytocin massage and nutritional support, such as the consumption of date fruit. These two interventions operate through distinct yet complementary mechanisms: neuroendocrine stimulation and metabolic nutritional support. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of date fruit consumption and oxytocin massage on uterine involution among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design was used, with 30 postpartum mothers purposively selected and divided into two groups. The first group consumed 100 g of dates daily, while the second group received oxytocin massage once a day, both for seven days. The results showed that the average reduction in uterine fundal height was 10.47 cm in the date consumption group and 8.07 cm in the oxytocin massage group. An independent t-test confirmed that date consumption was more effective than oxytocin massage at accelerating the reduction in uterine fundal height (p=0.01). Although these findings are limited by the small sample size and purposive sampling method, clinically, both interventions show potential as feasible, low-cost, and culturally acceptable supportive strategies in postpartum care, particularly in resource-limited settings. Further studies with larger samples and more rigorous designs are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract

ABSTRAK : Pada kehamilan terjadi peningkatan hormo HcG (Human chorionic Gonadotropin), Hormon HcG juga menstimulasi ovarium memproduksi estrogen,peningkatan hormone estrogen berkorelasi dengan munculnya mual muntah. Berdasarkan data WHO tahun 2021, angka kejadian emesis gravidarum secara global adalah 12,5% dari seluruh kehamilan. Prevalensi kejadian emesis gravidarum berbeda-beda di tiap daerah,menurut Kemenkes RI tahun 2022, di Jawa Tengah prevalensi yang mengalami mual muntah sejumlah 40-60%. Aromaerapi lemon mengandung limonene yang menghambat kerja prostaglandin sehingga mengurangi rasa nyeri dan berfungsi untuk mengontrol sikooksigenase I Dan II,mencegah aktivitas prostaglandin dan mengurangu mual muntah. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Quasi Eksperiment Design With Pre-Post Test One Group dengan metode pendekatan Pretest-Postest. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah Ibu Hamil yang mengalami mual muntah sejumlah 30 responden. Kemudian dilakukan percobaan atau perlakuan terhadap variabel independennya, kemudian mengukur akibat atau pengaruh dari percobaan tersebut pada dependen variabel. Analisis data menggunakan uji Wilcoxon didapatkan hasil p-value =0,000 (<0,05) sehingga disimpulkan terjadi penurunan yang signifikan dalam jumlah episode mual dan muntah dengan p<0,05. Saran disampaikan kepada masyarakat khususnya ibu hamil untuk dapat mencoba penatalaksanaan alami menggunakan bahan alam salah satunya adalah lemon untuk mengurangi mual muntah Kata Kunci : Aromaterapi, Lemon, Mual Muntah
