Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a common condition experienced by women, particularly adolescent girls. Treatment for dysmenorrhea can be administered through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, including herbal remedies and physical therapy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining herbal use and physical therapy in alleviating menstrual pain. This research employs a scoping review methodology, which involves the search, screening, and synthesis of relevant literature on the topic. The process includes formulating research questions, establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria, conducting literature searches, selecting relevant studies, extracting data, and performing qualitative analysis. The combination of herbal remedies such as ginger, cinnamon, and lavender, along with physical therapies like exercise, yoga, and relaxation techniques, offers a more holistic and effective approach to reducing dysmenorrhea. Herbs possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, while physical therapies enhance blood circulation, reduce stress, and release endorphins, thereby complementing each other in the management of menstrual pain. The integration of herbal remedies and physical therapy has the potential to be an effective approach for managing dysmenorrhea. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of this combined approach.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of herbal use and culture in midwifery-led care (MLC). The use of herbal medicine in the context of MLC is often influenced by cultural factors, making it crucial to understand the interaction between traditional and modern practices in maternal care. This research employs a scoping review method to examine articles from 2020 to 2024 that discuss the use of herbal medicine in the context of MLC. Data were gathered from various academic databases using keywords related to herbal use, culture, and MLC. Findings indicate that cultural factors significantly influence the preference for herbal medicine among pregnant women, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Malawi. Additionally, midwives' training on herbal use is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of care. Many midwives show a strong interest in further learning about herbal use, but the lack of clear national guidelines and formal training hinders effective implementation. This study highlights the need for clear national guidelines and collaboration between traditional and modern healthcare providers to enhance the quality of maternal care. Comprehensive training for midwives on herbal use is essential to ensure safe and effective practices in MLC.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition in 2011, exclusive breastfeeding means providing only breast milk without any other food or drink to the baby from birth to six months of age, except for medications and vitamins. This does not imply that breastfeeding should stop after the six-month period. Instead, breastfeeding should continue until the child reaches two years of age. Breast milk is recognized as the initial, primary, and best food for infants, based on scientific principles. This study aims to identify the relationship between the psychological state of breastfeeding mothers and the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. This study employs a scoping review method involving the search, screening, and synthesis of literature pertinent to the research topic. The steps involve formulating the research question, setting inclusion and exclusion criteria, conducting literature searches, and selecting relevant literature, data extraction, and qualitative analysis. Psychological factors in mothers, such as high breastfeeding self-efficacy, and the absence of postpartum depression and anxiety, are significantly linked to the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Psychological interventions are needed to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Positive psychological factors in mothers, including high breastfeeding self-efficacy and the absence of postpartum depression and anxiety, play a crucial role in supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Interventions to improve the psychological condition of breastfeeding mothers should be implemented to increase the rates of exclusive breastfeeding. Further research is needed to explore the psychological factors influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
