Abstract

Childbirth is a joyous experience, but that joy can turn into anxiety and pain when contractions become more intense. Mothers about to give birth experience pain and discomfort due to uterine contractions that initiate the labor process. Efforts to reduce the intensity of pain in mothers giving birth can be done by using acupressure therapy at the BL 32 point and lavender aromatherapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of acupressure therapy at the ciliao point (BL32) and lavender aromatherapy on reducing the intensity of labor pain. The study was conducted on August 27 - October 7, 2025. This study used a pre-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test. The study population was mothers giving birth in the active phase of the first stage. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling with 16 respondents. The results of the study were that almost all pain scales before being given a massage of the BL 32 point and lavender aroma therapy were 9.06 with a standard deviation of 0.772, and after being given a massage of the BL 32 point and lavender aroma therapy were 7.56 with a standard deviation of 0.814. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test results ρ = 0.00, so the conclusion is that there is an effect of giving BL 32-point therapy and lavender aroma therapy on reducing the intensity of labor pain.

Abstract

Flexible flat feet in children are common in community and school-aged populations and may be associated with altered lower-limb biomechanics, impaired postural control, and reduced dynamic balance, potentially affecting mobility, participation, and safety in daily activities. Although custom-made foot insoles are widely prescribed, evidence regarding their functional effects on dynamic balance in community-based pediatric settings remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of custom-made foot insoles on dynamic balance among children with flexible flat feet in a community-based rehabilitation context. A pre–post intervention study was conducted involving 40 children (mean age 10.05 ± 1.04 years). Dynamic balance was assessed using the Balance Beam Test before and after the intervention. Changes in balance performance were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with effect size calculated using Cohen’s d. Dynamic balance scores improved significantly after insole use (Z = −3.995, p < 0.001), with a large effect size (d = 0.81). Greater improvements were observed in children with lower baseline balance. These findings support the potential role of custom-made foot insoles within community-based rehabilitation strategies to enhance functional balance and promote safe participation among children.
