Abstract

Background: Postpartum mothers are susceptible to anemia, due to loss of blood count during labor. Postpartum anemia causes uterine subinvolution which causes postpartum hemorrhage, facilitates puerperium infection, decreases breastfeeding and causes mamae infection. One alternative to prevent anemia in postpartum is to consume vegetables with high iron one red spinach. Red spinach is one of the non-heme iron sources needed to synthesize hemoglobin. Objective: To determine the effect of red spinach in increasing the levels of hemoglobin in postpartum mothers. Methods: This was a quasi-experiment with pretest posttest with control group design in October-December 2017 at the Community Health Center of PONED Tarub, Tegal regency, Indonesia. Thirty postpartum mothers were included using purposive sampling, which 15 assigned in each group. Blood sampling and examination were performed in each respondent. Paired and Independent t-test were done for data analysis. Results: The results of the 14-day intervention of given red spinach extract showed that there was a significant increase of hemoglobin level (1.25 g / dL) with p-value 0.047. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of consuming red spinach extract (Amaranthus tricolor L.) on the increase of hemoglobin level in postpartum mother. It is recommended that midwives could apply this intervention and cooperate with agriculture and food processing in order to produce red spinach extract that increases hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocytes levels.

Abstract

Background: Sweet potato leaf is assumed to be one of alternative herbs that can increase breast milk production. However, there were no studies found in the literature that examine the sweet potato leaves to increase the levels of prolactin and milk production. Objective: To examine the effect of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaf on the level of prolactin and milk production in postpartum mothers. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group, conducted on November 2016 to December 2016 in the Health Center (Puskesmas) of Boyolali I. Thirty respondents were selected using consecutive sampling, which were divided to be 15 respondents in intervention group and 15 respondents in control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure prolactin levels, while breast milk production was measured based on the volume of breast milk and baby’s weight. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test and paired t-test. Results: Finding showed that there was a significant difference in prolactin levels between the intervention (270.43) and control group (156.28) after intervention with p-value 0.000, and a significant difference in breast milk production in terms of breast milk volume (intervention group 136.33; and control group 119) with p-value 0.028; and baby’s weight (intervention group 3030.3; and control group 2787.33) with p-value 0.000. Conclusion: There was a significant effect of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaf on the levels of prolactin and breast milk production. Thus, it could be suggested that sweet potato leaves should be considered to be one of alternative treatments for health care providers, especially for midwives to help breastfeeding mothers in increasing their breast milk production and prolactin levels. Further research is needed to examine all factors affecting breast milk production.

Abstract

Background: Death due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to increase every year. Efforts to prevent AMI complications through the control of pain and anxiety with the approach of classical music therapy have been widely practiced, but the approach through local music has not been much done when transcultural nursing theory emphasizes the importance of cultural approaches in nursing care, while Indonesia has a lot of local music that is a cultural potential which needs to be developed. Objective: This study aims to know the effect of Hariring Kabayan instrumental music therapy in reducing pain and anxiety of AMI patients after 24 hours of CICU admission. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. There were 32 participants selected using consecutive sampling, which 16 assigned in an experiment group and a control group. Hariring Kabayan therapy was played at 60 BPM using headphones connected to the MP3 player for 30 minutes. Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to measure pain and Numerical Rating Scale Anxiety (NRS-A) was used to measure anxiety. Data were analyzed using Paired t-test and Independent t-test. Result: Hariring Kabayan instrumental music therapy given for 30 minutes gave a significant change on pain in the respondents (p = 0.005), but it did not give a significant change on anxiety (p = 0.053), with significant value of 0.05. Conclusion: Hariring Kabayan instrumental music therapy is effective in reducing pain in AMI patients but ineffective in anxiety reduction.

Abstract

Background: Caesarean section is one of the most common interventions to overcome labor complications. However, pain cannot be avoided after the surgery. Lavender aromatherapy is considered as one of non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain and increase beta-endorphin levels. Objective: To examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on the intensity of pain and beta-endorphin levels in post-caesarean mothers. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest with control group at Sembiring Delitua General Hospital in Indonesia on December 2016 to February 2017. There were 40 samples selected using purposive sampling, with 20 samples assigned in the experiment and control group. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure pain and ELIZA methods to measure beta-endorphin levels. Independent t-test and paired t-test were used for data analysis Results: Results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the mean value of pain intensity levels (p = 0.000) and beta-endorphin levels (p = 0.023) between experiment and control group. Conclusion: There was a significant effect of lavender aromatherapy on the decrease of pain intensity and the increase of beta-endorphin hormone in post-caesarean mothers. It is expected that lavender aromatherapy can be used as an alternative treatment to reduce pain and increase beta-endorphin levels in post-caesarean mothers.
