Abstract

Background: Focus is the main thing for learning, but students still come across distractions in their environment, anxiety, and mental fatigue. Essential oil aromatherapy may improve cognitive functions through neurophysiological mechanisms.Objective: To find out if the combination of ginger and lemon essential oils would help concentration of midwifery students during self-directed learning.Methods: 92 Andalas University midwifery students were randomly assigned to two groups; experimental (aromatherapy, n=46) and control (n=46). The ginger- lemon aromatherapy (40:60 ratio) was given to the experimental group by a ultrasonic diffuser during four weekly 90-minute tutorials. Concentration was determined through a 20-item questionnaire that was validated and which assessed motivation, sustained attention, anxiety regulation, comprehension efficiency, and distraction resistance.Results: Concentration of the experimental group raised significantly from 2.388 to 4.243 (p<0.001, Cohen's d=14.52), whereas the control group did not show any change (p=0.075). The main changes: 37% of the distraction resistance was increased, 23% of the comprehension efficiency was enhanced, and 10% of the anxiety was reduced.Conclusion: Ginger-lemon aromatherapy is an effective way to hype up concentration in learning from different angles by the synergistic anxiolytic and cognitive-stimulating mechanisms, thus giving a simple, cheap educational intervention.

Abstract

Background: As one of the major factors that seriously impact perimenopausal women's quality of life, urinary incontinence is at the same time an area where evidence for a short-term intensive pelvic floor muscle training protocol is still scarce in Southeast Asian populations.Objective: The present study assessed the effectiveness of a short intensive pelvic floor muscle training of 10 days in perimenopausal women with urinary incontinence.Methods: The researchers used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 30 perimenopausal women (aged 40-49 years) suffering from urinary incontinence at Dadok Tunggul Hitam Health Center, Padang, Indonesia. The participants accomplished a 10-day intensive pelvic floor muscle training program (4-5 sessions daily, 10 repetitions per session). The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) was used to measure incontinence severity before and after the intervention. Collected data were processed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: The program successfully brought about a statistically significant reduction of the average ICIQ-UI-SF scores by 31.7% (4.275 to 2.921, p=0.00). As a result, the number of moderate urinary incontinence cases dropped by 38.5% (from 43.3% to 26.7%), whereas mild cases increased three times (from 6.7% to 20.0%).Conclusion: A 10-day intensive pelvic floor muscle training program is capable of dramatically reducing the severity of urinary incontinence in perimenopausal women, and hence, the intervention constitutes a potential resource-limited primary healthcare setting first-line solution.
