Abstract

Background: Mobilization post sectio caesarean is an effort to prevent risk and complications of infection. The early mobilization stages are the first hour after surgery, lie down first, move the arms, bend and slide the legs, and lift the heels, six to ten hours after surgery woman is required to turn her body to the right and left side. Objective: To determine the correlation between early mobilization with length of wound healing post-sectio caesarean. Method: A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The study included 30 women who had had a caesarean from September to November 2023. The research instruments used were a questionnaire and an early mobilization observation sheet. Wound healing was measured by means of the REEDA scale. Chi-square test for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that there were 22 respondents in good category 73.3%, and 27 people in fast wound healing category 90%. The chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.014, it was mean that there was a significant relationship between early mobilization and length of wound healing post-sectio caesarean. Conclusion: The application of early mobilization is effective in overcoming physical mobility disorders so that women post-sectio caesarean can return to their activities.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a major global health issue, affecting maternal and fetal outcomes. It is often caused by iron deficiency due to increased physiological demands and inadequate nutritional intake. Dietary interventions, including consuming dates (Phoenix dactylifera), are gaining attention as complementary strategies to address this issue. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of consuming dates in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted. Twenty-two anemic pregnant women from the Tanjung Aru Public Health Center participated, consuming seven tamr dates (approximately 100 g) daily for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured pre- and post-intervention using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to determine statistical significance. Results: Before the intervention, 68.2% of participants had mild anemia, and 31.8% had moderate anemia, with no cases of normal hemoglobin levels. Post-intervention, 45.4% of participants achieved normal hemoglobin levels, while cases of mild and moderate anemia decreased to 36.4% and 18.2%, respectively. The mean hemoglobin level increased significantly from 13.81 g/dL pre-intervention to 14.62 g/dL post-intervention (p = 0.013). Conclusion: Consuming dates effectively improved hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia, offering a promising, culturally appropriate dietary intervention. Further research with larger populations is recommended to validate these findings and explore long-term outcomes.
