Abstract

Background: Labor induction is performed using two methods of pharmaceuticals and complementary therapies. The complementary therapies for labor induction in particular, have to be reviewed comprehensively as to come up with the most relevant therapies allowed to be performed by midwives in Indonesia in accordance with the applicable law. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness and safety of complementary therapies for labor induction that can be performed and also allowed by the applicable law. Method: This was a literature review based on the PRISMA protocol guidelines. The full-text articles were obtained from several databases, such as Elsevier, Cochrane, PubMed, and local journals.  These chosen articles were then reviewed to figure out the most effective interventions for labor induction. They were then further reviewed for compatibility with applicable midwifery law.Results: Out of 1153 studies obtained, 44 studies were included in this review. The most effective complementary therapies for labor induction are acupuncture and acupressure. The current law does not allow midwives to perform acupuncture, but it states that acupressure can be administered. Acupressure has proven to be a successful intervention when it is coupled with aromatherapy or hypnobirthing. Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness and safety of complementary therapies for labor induction, acupressure along with aromatherapy or hypnobirthing can be used after being administered in accordance with the applicable law. There is a need for further studies focusing on either the holistic therapy alternatives or the legal side of holistic therapy.

Abstract

Background: Low Birth Weight (LBW) is one of the risk factors that have a high contribution to infant mortality. Increasing the baby's weight is used as an indicator to determine LBW growth. In LBW babies, touch therapy is a form of stimulation to increase endurance, digestive function activities, and vagus nerve activity. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Loving Touch Therapy (LTT) as one of the effective non-medical methods to increase body weight in LBW that can be done by parents during home care. Method: This study was a quantitative study using an experimental design and Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. This research conducted in 15 respondents in the intervention group with four weeks' LTT and 15 respondents in the control group who were given Tactile Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS). Data were obtained from measurements of body weight before and after the intervention then the data were analyzed using independent t-test with significance level p-value <0.05 and multivariate analysis using linear regression.Results: 19 respondents female (63.3%) and 11 respondents male (36.6%) was participated in this research by the frequency distribution of the gender. It was a significant increase in body weight in LBW with LTT carried out by his mother for 28 days compared with TKS stimulation. The differences in the average weight gain are 197 grams. The difference is statistically significant.Conclusions: It can be concluded that LTT is more effective in increasing body weight in LBW post-hospital care because the technique is simple and sequential from the front to the back of the baby's body which makes it easier for parents to understand and physiologically doesn't lose much an energy.

Methods: This research used a quantitative study with cross sectional design. Purposive sampling technique was done in the fifth and sixth graders with total population of 69 people. After selecting those who experienced early menarche, thirty respondents were eligible in this study. Univariate, bivariate correlation test, and multivariate multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the data. Results: The correlation test resulted in the score of diet (p-value=0.001), physical activity (p- value=0.040<0.05) and exposure to mass media (p-value=0.454). It was concluded eating patterns and physical activity had significant correlation with early menarche among students. Meanwhile, the mass media exposure had no significant influence to incidence of early menarche. Multivariate test results were obtained from the results of multiple linear regression tests of eating patterns (0.011<0.05) affecting the incidence of early menarche while physical activity (0.463>0.05) and exposure to mass media (0.733>0.05) had no effect on the incidence of early menarche.
