Abstract

Background: Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) causes morbidity and mortality complications in both maternal and perinatal. Pregnancy with anemia where low hemoglobin level which is less than 11.1 g / dL can be the cause of PROM through biological mechanisms and mechanisms of disease. Objective: This study aims to compare the risk of PROM between anemic maternal mothers and non-anemic maternal mothers. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on the maternal mothers at Kertha Usada Singaraja Bali Hospital, with 106 cases and 106 controls, using maternity medical records data in January-December 2016. The cases and controls were adjusted to the parity. The data were collected using questionnaires consisting of 2 parts: the first part was about the demographic characteristics, and the second part was about the time of membrane rupture and hemoglobin level at the delivery. The obtained data were analysed using descriptive and analytic statistics on the computer program. Result: On univariable analysis, the prevalence of PROM equalled to 28,3% in maternal anemia group. In bivariate analysis, the risk factors of were anemia status, maternal activity, and maternal age (p <0.05). A multivariable analysis of conditional logistic regression analysis, controlling the possibility of confounding factors, showed that pregnant women with anemia would be at risk of PROM 3.59 times greater than non-anemic mothers (OR = 3.59, 95% CI = 1.82-7, 09). Conclusion: The risk of PROM is higher in anemic maternal mothers than in non-anemic mothers, after homogenising with parity variables.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is pain during menstruation in lower abdomen, and is not due to other diseases. Effleurage massage and consuming green coconut water are considered able to reduce menstrual pain. However, little is known about the effect of the combination between the two interventions. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of effleurage massage and in combination with green coconut water on pain, anxiety, and ß-endorphin level in teenage girls with menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). Design: A quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest approach design with control group. There were 36 samples recruited in this study by purposive sampling, which were divided into a massage therapy group, the combination therapy group, and a control group. Menstrual pain was measured using Numeric Rating Scale, while anxiety was measured using Zung Self rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS), and endorphin level using ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). One-way ANOVA test and repeated ANOVA were performed as a bivariate analysis. MANCOVA and post hoc ANOVA were used for multivariate analysis. Result: The combination of massage and green coconut water was more effective in reducing pain (p 0.013) and anxiety levels (p 0.000), and in increasing β-endorphin (p 0.029) with significant value of <0.05 compared to the massage therapy alone. Conclusion: The combination of effleurage massage and green coconut water had significant effect in decreasing anxiety and pain levels, and increasing β-endorphin levels in teenage girls with painful periods (dysmenorrhea); and more effective than performing effleurage massage only. It is suggested that this combination therapy could be used as an alternative therapy for women with dysmenorrhea.
