Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of labor massage on pain and quality of life of pregnant women. This study uses a quantitative design with a simple linear regression approach involving 100 maternity mothers as a sample. The results of the analysis showed that the variable of labor massage had a positive and significant influence on the pain of maternal quality of life, with a regression coefficient of 0.181 and a regression equation of Y = 17.473 + 0.181X. The results of hypothesis testing showed that the t-count value (2.065) was greater than the t-table (1.660) and the significance value of 0.042 was less than 0.05, which means that childbirth massage had a significant effect on the quality of life of pregnant women. The Gate Control Pain theory is used to explain that labor massage can activate the body's natural pain control mechanisms. These findings support the use of massage as one of the effective non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain and improve the mother's quality of life during childbirth. Based on these results, it is suggested that childbirth massage can be applied routinely as part of maternity care in health facilities.

Abstract

Midwifery services in independent clinical practices play a crucial role in the primary healthcare system, particularly in providing care for mothers and children. This study aims to analyze the relationship between service management and patient satisfaction levels in independent midwifery clinical practices (PMB). A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using the PRISMA method to trace and analyze data from various scholarly sources related to service management and patient satisfaction in PMBs. Key dimensions from the SERVQUAL model reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and tangible aspects served as the main indicators for assessing service quality. Case studies from several PMBs demonstrate that the use of simple technologies, effective communication, and efficient time management contribute significantly to high levels of patient satisfaction. Conversely, unstructured management practices negatively affect perceptions of care. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing midwives’ managerial capacity, developing standard operating procedures (SOPs), and conducting routine evaluations of patient experiences to maintain service quality. These results offer strategic insights into strengthening PMBs as a responsive and high-quality pillar of maternal healthcare services.
