Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) is the ideal nutrition for newborns because it contains complete nutrition, antibodies, and irreplaceable protective factors. However, many postpartum mothers experience delayed milk production due to physiological and psychological barriers, which can reduce the success of exclusive breastfeeding. One effective non-pharmacological intervention is oxytocin massage, a light massage technique along the spine and ribs to stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin. This mechanism supports the milk ejection reflex (let-down reflex) through contraction of breast myoepithelial cells and accelerates the release of colostrum. In addition to its benefits for lactation, oxytocin also plays a role in accelerating uterine involution, thereby reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The psychological effects of relaxation and reduced anxiety contribute to successful breastfeeding and increase maternal self-confidence. Despite physiological and clinical evidence, the implementation of oxytocin massage in the field remains limited due to lack of training, limited socialization, and suboptimal integration into postpartum care standards. This study used a literature review method to analyze the mechanisms, benefits, and challenges of implementing oxytocin massage. The study results confirm that oxytocin massage is a simple, safe, and effective intervention that has the potential to increase the success of exclusive breastfeeding while accelerating maternal recovery.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels as a result of insufficient insulin secretion, impaired insulin activity, or both. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of self-management on the level of therapy adherence, as well as its impact on improving the quality of life of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. The design in this study is descriptive, the effect of Self-Management on therapy adherence to improve the quality of life of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers with a cross-sectional research method was carried out at the same time without a follow-up period. The population in the study at the UPTD Diabetes Center Ternate City in 2024 who suffered from DM was 92 people. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling, namely all DM sufferers who were treated and registered at the UPTD Diabetes Center in 2024 as many as 92 people. The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge (p = < 0.000), the level of self-management ability (p = <0.000) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. While the variables of therapy compliance (p = > 1.000) and improving the quality of life were not significantly related, namely (p = > 0.311) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. Nurses can improve patient knowledge by providing education that focuses on improving self-management and providing therapy compliance and improving the quality of life of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers.
