Abstract

Menstruation is a natural cycle in women characterized by the release of blood through the vagina. Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea often causes a throbbing sensation, cramps in the lower abdomen, and pain that can spread to the back and inner thighs. Deep breathing relaxation techniques are an effective method for reducing pain by relieving muscle tension, reducing anxiety, and preventing the spread of pain stimuli. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation techniques in reducing menstrual pain in women with dysmenorrhea. The research method uses a descriptive case study approach involving two clients who were given deep breathing relaxation techniques as an intervention. The research subjects were 80 female adolescents in the Meilia Medika Health Vocational School area. Sampling was done using purposive sampling technique and only 2 participants were taken. Data was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that in the first client, before the relaxation technique was performed, the pain scale felt was 6/10. After the application of the relaxation technique, the pain decreased to 3/10 and on the second to fifth day it dropped to 1/10. On the sixth and seventh days, the pain was no longer felt. The second client initially experienced pain on a scale of 9/10, which decreased to 5/10 after the application of the relaxation technique. On the second to fourth day, the pain scale decreased to 2/10, and on the sixth to seventh day the pain was no longer felt. The conclusion of this study is that deep breathing relaxation techniques are proven to be effective in reducing the scale of menstrual pain if done correctly according to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Both clients stated that this method helped reduce menstrual pain significantly.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a crucial phase for the success of exclusive breastfeeding, marked by various physiological and psychological changes in the mother. One common issue during this period is the difficulty in expressing breast milk, which can affect the baby's growth and overall health. Contributing factors include stress, fatigue, poor nutritional intake, and a lack of knowledge about proper breastfeeding techniques. Breast care is a non-pharmacological intervention that has been scientifically proven to stimulate the hormones prolactin and oxytocin, thereby enhancing milk production and expression. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the breast care technique in improving breast milk production and expression in postpartum mothers. It also seeks to describe the characteristics of the respondents and compare their condition before and after the intervention. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design involving five postpartum mothers. Respondents were selected based on specific criteria using purposive sampling. Data were collected through direct observation during a four-day breast care intervention. Before the intervention, all respondents experienced difficulties in milk expression, with scores categorized as “very low” to “low.” After four days of intervention, a significant improvement was observed. All respondents achieved the maximum score (10/10) based on maternal indicators and a good score (5/6) based on infant indicators. Breast care proved effective in enhancing milk flow through hormonal stimulation and its relaxing effect.
