Abstract

Effective pain management after cesarean section (C-section) is critical for maternal recovery and well-being. Lavender aromatherapy has been suggested as a complementary therapy to reduce postoperative pain. This study aims to evaluate the effect of lavender aromatherapy on postoperative pain in women undergoing C-section. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 120 women undergoing C-section were assigned to either a lavender aromatherapy group (n=60) or a placebo group (n=60). Baseline characteristics, including age, education, parity, and smoking status, were assessed to ensure comparability. Postoperative pain intensity was measured using a standardized pain scale.  Participants were predominantly aged 20–35 years (Placebo 91.67%, Aromatherapy 88.33%) and non-smokers. Educational attainment and parity were comparable between groups. Lavender aromatherapy significantly reduced post-C-section pain compared to placebo, The results showed a statistically significant difference in pain scores (U = 2638.5, p < 0.001, r = 0.40). The intervention was well-tolerated and easily applied, suggesting modulation of pain through both neurophysiological and psychological pathways. Lavender aromatherapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective adjunct for postoperative pain management after C-section. Its integration into standard postoperative care may enhance maternal comfort and satisfaction. Further multicenter studies with standardized protocols are recommended to confirm efficacy and explore long-term outcomes

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. This condition not only endangers the mother but may also adversely affect the fetus. In West Java Province, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain a significant public health concern. Data from the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) reported that the prevalence of hypertension among pregnant women in West Java reached 10.57%, which is higher than the national average of 6.18%. Furthermore, 214 maternal deaths in West Java were attributed to hypertensive complications during pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to determine the distribution of maternal age among pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the working area of the Jalaksana Primary Health Center, Jalaksana District, Kuningan Regency. Methods: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach to describe the maternal age distribution among pregnant women with hypertensive disorders in the working area of the Jalaksana Primary Health Center, Jalaksana District, Kuningan Regency, in 2025. Results: The findings showed that 24 respondents (80%) experienced mild hypertension, while 6 respondents (20%) had moderate hypertension. The respondents were exclusively from two extreme age groups: <20 years (14 women; 46.67%) and >35 years (16 women; 53.33%). Conclusion: These findings reinforce obstetric epidemiological theory that both very young maternal age and advanced maternal age are high-risk factors for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
