Abstract

Pregnancy presents both physical and psychological challenges for women. High stress levels and lack of confidence in facing labor can negatively impact maternal and fetal well-being. Prenatal massage is recognized as a non-pharmacological intervention that helps reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, and enhance maternal confidence. This study analyzes the effect of prenatal massage on stress reduction and confidence levels in pregnant women using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Scientific articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were reviewed, with inclusion criteria focusing on studies published in the last five years. The analysis revealed that prenatal massage significantly reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels and increasing endorphins, promoting relaxation. Additionally, it enhances psychological well-being and provides emotional support, contributing to greater confidence in facing labor. The findings suggest that prenatal massage offers substantial benefits in reducing stress and increasing maternal confidence before childbirth. Therefore, it can be recommended as part of prenatal care to support the mental and emotional health of pregnant women.

Hypertension is a significant health problem with increasing prevalence globally, nationally, and locally. Adequate blood pressure control is essential to prevent complications. This study develops and evaluates health service innovations based on autosuggestion techniques, using the RAVS Model (Deep Breath Relaxation, Affirmation, Visualisation, and Spirituality) as a holistic approach to blood pressure control in hypertensive patients. A mixed research method, combining bibliometric analysis to map research trends and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of RAVS Model interventions from primary studies. The results show that the development of the RAVS model autosuggestion is increasing worldwide, especially in developed countries, and is effective in lowering blood pressure and improving medication adherence. This non-pharmacy innovation offers innovative, accessible, low-cost, and sustainable healthcare solutions. This research makes an essential contribution to developing health services that integrate biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects in the management of hypertension.

Abstract

Stunting is a growth disorder associated with chronic nutritional deficiency, recurrent infections, parenting practices, and environmental conditions, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. This community service activity through the Community Service Program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding environmental hygiene and adequate nutrition as part of early stunting prevention. The activity was conducted at Parung Serab Urban Village, Ciledug District, Tangerang City, targeting mothers of toddlers registered and actively participating in the health post. The method consisted of coordination with cadres, situation assessment, problem prioritization, preparation of educational media, health education, demonstration of proper handwashing with soap, provision of balanced nutrition menu examples, interactive discussion and questions and answers, and evaluation through observation and oral questioning. The initial assessment indicated that some mothers had limited knowledge about the relationship between environmental hygiene, nutritional status, and stunting risk. Consistent implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, particularly handwashing with soap and household waste management, was also identified as an area requiring reinforcement. The activity integrated environmental and nutrition education with routine posyandu services and involved cadres as community mobilizers. Evaluation was conducted qualitatively by observing participant involvement and responses during discussion sessions. The activity demonstrated that posyandu-based education can serve as an appropriate community platform to strengthen mothers’ awareness and understanding of stunting prevention. Continuous education, growth monitoring, cadre strengthening, and consistent household implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors are recommended to sustain the benefits of the intervention.
