Abstract

LBW is a baby born weighing less than 2500 grams. In addition to assessing weight, LBW can also be evaluated from the size of the body length and head circumference. LBW causes various problems both in the short and long term. Therefore, this incident has become a global public health problem. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a treatment for low birth weight or premature babies by making direct contact between the baby's skin and the mother's skin or skin-to-skin contact, where the mother uses her body temperature to warm the baby. The main factor in implementing the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is the adequate level of knowledge possessed by the mother, which significantly increases the success of the implementation of KMC. A positive and strong attitude from the mother towards KMC is identified as a key factor for the success of the implementation of KMC. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) Through Video Media on the Knowledge and Attitudes of Mothers Who Have Low Birth Weight (LBW) Babies. This study used a pre-experimental design. The design used in this study was a group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique in this study was nonprobability sampling with a purposive sampling method. The results showed that there is a significant influence between the knowledge and attitudes of mothers before and after being given education about Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).

Abstract

Infant weight that has not increased optimally is still a child health problem in Indonesia. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be given is infant massage. Infant massage has been shown to be beneficial in stimulating the nervous system and blood circulation, increasing appetite, and improving the quality of infant sleep, all of which contribute to weight gain. Purpose This study aims to determine the effect of infant massage on the weight of infants aged 3–6 months in the Tamansari Health Center, Tasikmalaya City. The method of this type of research is a quasi-experiment with a one group pretest-posttest design. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique of 20 infant respondents aged 3–6 months. The intervention in the form of infant massage was carried out for 15 minutes, once a week for 4 weeks. Data analysis using the Paired T-Test test, Results The average infant weight increased significantly. The results of the Paired T-Test test showed a p value = 0.007 in the intervention group. Conclusion Infant massage has a significant effect on increasing the weight of infants aged 3–6 months. Therefore, it is recommended for mothers to imagine regular baby massage as a form of beneficial growth and development stimulation

Abstract

Birth pain is a physiological condition that can cause stress, anxiety, and tension that result from childbirth, even increasing the risk of complications. This condition can cause severe labor during childbirth, which causes muscular contractions, uteroplacental circulation, vascular circulation, and cervical oxygen, causing uterine ischemia to increase the amount of pain and risk complications during labor. Attempts to reduce the pain of childbirth involve two methods of pain control: pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One attempt to reduce the pain of childbirth by non-pharmacological care could be made by inhaling an aromatic orphanage with a diffuser at the time of childbirth. The study aims to examine the effect of aromatherapy on the intensity of labor pain in the Ciamis flood district in 2025. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sampling technique used is impressive, employing the Lameshow formula with 45 respondents. The study indicates that there was an average difference in the scale of childbirth pain before and after the lavender aroma was given to mothers in childbirth in the flooded hospital. Thus, aromatherapy can be an effective alternative to non-pharmacological intervention in birth pain management.
