Abstract

Introduction: Labor pain in mothers is partly caused by a reduced oxygen supply to the uterine muscles during contractions. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as electric massage with infrared therapy on the spine, can help increase oxytocin levels, which may accelerate labor progress. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) in reducing labor pain and enhancing labor progress in primigravida mothers during the active phase of labor. Method: A true experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. The study involved all primigravida mothers in the active phase of labor at the Musytasyfah Karawang Clinic. A total sampling technique was employed, with 30 participants divided into an intervention group (15) and a control group (15). The data were analyzed using the McNemar test. The research was conducted from April to July 2024. Results: The study found that the infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) was effective in reducing labor pain in primigravida mothers during the active phase (p=0.000). It also demonstrated effectiveness in improving labor progress (p=0.027). Conclusion: The infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) is effective in reducing labor pain and improving labor progress in primigravida mothers during the active phase of labor. It is suggested that this intervention be considered as an alternative tool in obstetric services and recommended for use by the Health Office in childbirth care.

Abstract

Background: Skin changes often occur during pregnancy, such as striae gravidarum and hyperpigmentation. Mom’s Cerij Oil is formulated to minimize the risk of allergies or skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Mom’s Cerij Oil (Centella Asiatica and Piper betle L) compared to Coconut Oil in maintaining skin moisture and preventing Striae Gravidarum in pregnant women in the second trimester at the Cikupa Health Center in Tangerang Regency.  Methods: The research method was a quantitative study using a true experimental design with a pretest-post test control group approach. The study involved 66 pregnant women in their second trimester at the Cikupa Health Center in Tangerang Regency. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, with each intervention group and control group consisting of 33 respondents. Data analysis involved univariate analysis using frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using the McNemar test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The study was conducted from January to February 2025. Results: Bivariate analysis showed that Mom’s Cerij Oil was effective in maintaining skin moisture and preventing striae gravidarum in second-trimester pregnant women, with significant pretest–posttest mean differences (0.42; p=0.039 and 0.18; p=0.031). Posttest comparison between Mom’s Cerij Oil and coconut oil groups also indicated a significant difference (p=0.001). Conclusion: Mom’s Cerij Oil is more effective than coconut oil in maintaining skin moisture and preventing striae gravidarum in second-trimester pregnant women, and it can be recommended as a safe topical option during pregnancy.
