Abstract

Research in the United States around 70% to 80% of mothers who give birth expect the birth to take place without feeling pain. Currently, 20% to 50% of deliveries in private hospitals in Indonesia are carried out by Caesarean section. The current trend is for mothers to choose to give birth via cesarean section to avoid pain during normal birth. This study was to determine the effect of using a birthball on the intensity of labor pain during the first active phase. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest two-group design. The population of this study is all mothers giving birth normally at the Az-Zahra clinic. The sample in the study consisted of 30 respondents. The research instrument uses the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) sheet. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-test and Independent T-test. The average pretest labor pain score in the experimental group was 7.13, while the post-test was 3.33, and the p-value was 0.489. The average pretest labor pain score in the control group was 6.53, while the post-test was 7.80, and the p-value was 0.044. The results of the Independent T-test showed a p-value of 0.489. Giving the Birthball method can reduce the intensity of labor pain during the first active phase. It is hoped that the Birthball method can be applied in all maternity clinics or independent midwives in Indonesia.

Abstract

Anemia is a health problem in pregnant women with a high prevalence which can have an impact on maternal and fetal death. Pregnancy can aggravate the incidence of anemia due to hemodilution. Providing Fe tablets and education on good nutrition can prevent anemia. Avocados and honey are foods that contain Fe and Vitamin C which can increase blood hemoglobin levels to prevent anemia. This study aims to determine the effect of avocado and honey on blood hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women in the intervention group and control group and to determine the average hemoglobin levels before and after treatment in the experimental group and control group. The research design used was quasi-experimental research with a pre and post-test design with the control group. The sample in this study was 30 respondents in the third trimester of pregnancy, consisting of 15 respondents in the control group and 15 respondents in the intervention group. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a hemoglobin examination observation sheet. Data were analyzed using paired samples t-test and independent t-test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant average difference in hemoglobin levels before and after being given avocado in the intervention group, p=0.000. Avocados and honey can increase hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women. It is hoped that avocados and honey can be applied as nutritional education in health services.
