Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder experienced by adolescent girls and may trigger an inflammatory response in the body, as indicated by an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). One non-pharmacological intervention that may help alleviate this condition is yoga pranayama. This study aimed to analyse the effect of yoga pranayama on reducing ESR levels in adolescents with dysmenorrhea. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 31 adolescent girls experiencing dysmenorrhea. The yoga pranayama intervention was conducted over 4 weeks, comprising 8 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. ESR measurements were obtained before and after the intervention using the Westergren method, and the data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a decrease in ESR levels after the intervention, with 48.4 percent of respondents categorised as normal (10–20 mm/h), although 51.6 percent remained in the high category (more than 20 mm/h). Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest ESR values. This reduction is associated with the relaxation effects of yoga pranayama, which improve tissue oxygenation, enhance blood circulation, and reduce inflammatory responses caused by increased prostaglandins. In conclusion, yoga pranayama is an effective non-pharmacological therapy for reducing ESR in adolescents with dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

The success of labour is influenced by optimal labour progress during the active stage, characterised by accelerated cervical dilation. The active stage of labour is the longest phase and a critical period determining the success of a normal delivery. If labour progresses more slowly than expected, it can potentially lead to complications for the mother and baby. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of palm acupressure on the duration of the active stage of labour. The research method used a true experiment with a two-group pre-test post-test control design. Fifty-eight primigravida subjects giving birth at RSPAL Dr Ramelan in Surabaya were divided into two groups. The intervention group received palm acupressure, while the control group received deep breathing relaxation. Labour duration was monitored using a partograph. The independent t-test showed a p-value of 0.041, indicating a difference in labour duration between the two groups. The average difference in labour duration was 1 hour and 43 minutes. In conclusion, palm acupressure affects the duration of the active stage of labour. This intervention has the potential to prevent prolongation of the first stage and can be used as an alternative to strengthen uterine contractions in cases of labour with contraction disorders

Abstract

Background: Third-trimester primigravida women often experience anxiety due to physical and psychological changes before childbirth. A preliminary survey at Afiyah Clinic, Gedangan, Sidoarjo, found that 30 out of 37 third-trimester primigravida women (81.08%) experienced anxiety. One non-pharmacological intervention that may reduce anxiety is the combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga. Objective: To determine the anxiety levels of third-trimester primigravida women before and after the administration of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge combined with prenatal yoga at Afiyah Clinic, Gedangan, Sidoarjo. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a Two-Group Pretest–Posttest Control Design. The sample consisted of 30 respondents divided into intervention and control groups, with 15 participants in each group, selected using purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the PRAQ-R2 questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test and Independent Sample T-Test. Results: The Paired Sample T-Test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating that the combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga significantly reduced anxiety levels among third-trimester primigravida women. The Independent Sample T-Test yielded a p-value of 0.457, indicating no significant difference between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: The combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga was effective in reducing anxiety among third-trimester primigravida women and has the potential to be applied as a non-pharmacological intervention in midwifery care. Keywords: Anxiety, Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge, Prenatal Yoga, Third-Trimester Primigravida.
