The instruments for this research are Isometric handgrip exercise therapy SOP, Isometric therapy observasion sheet, blood pressure record sheet, sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Bivariate analysis uses the dependent T test if the data is normally distributed. Results the average post-test diastole was 80.93. The results of the dependent study showed differences before and after isometric handgrip exercise therapy on blood pressure with p value = 0.000 (α < 0,05).

Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) has been known as the best fluid for a baby because of its composition which can protect babies from various infectious diseases. Exclusive breastfeeding is also a performance indicator related to the government's priority program to accelerate stunting reduction. Several studies have shown that one of the factors associated with the incidence of stunting is exclusive breastfeeding. The Covid-19 pandemic, which was hit by the whole world, including Indonesia, has had its own impact, especially health services at the puskesmas, posyandu, and mother's classes. Several health services were adjusted in order to avoid the transmission of Covid-19 to newborns, including exclusive breastfeeding such as counseling and counseling for pregnant women at the delayed posyandu, implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD), direct breastfeeding and rooming-in for babies. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation and conditions in exclusive breastfeeding for babies less than 6 months of course have changed. This research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach which was conducted on 33 mothers who had babies. The results of this study showed that during the pandemic, 93.9% of mothers still tried to give breast milk and as many as 78.8% of mothers gave additional milk.
