Abstract

Perineal trauma is commonly associated with vaginal delivery and can have adverse effects on maternal health and quality of life. One of the approaches to reducing perineal trauma is the use of massage therapy and warm compresses. The aim of this study is to obtain information regarding the effects of massage therapy and warm compresses on perineal trauma. This study employed a scoping review method to map the characteristics, types of interventions, and available scientific evidence regarding perineal massage and warm compresses. A literature search was conducted across six databases: PubMed, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Cambridge, Garuda, and SINTA, using the following keywords: woman in labor, perineal massage, hot compress, and perineal injury. The inclusion criteria were articles published between 2015 and 2025, written in Indonesian or English, available in full text, using RCT, clinical trial, or experimental study designs, and categorized as primary research. The outcomes of interest were perineal massage and warm compress interventions aimed at reducing perineal trauma. The exclusion criteria were articles published in predatory journals and literature reviews. The analysis included six articles discussing massage techniques and warm compresses for reducing perineal trauma. Four articles reported that perineal massage and warm compress interventions could reduce perineal trauma, whereas two articles found no significant difference between perineal massage and warm compresses in reducing perineal trauma.  Perineal massage and warm compress interventions can be recommended as non-pharmacological approaches to reduce perineal trauma during childbirth. Keywords: Perineal massage; perineal trauma; warm compress.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remain critical global public health threats, with adolescents being highly vulnerable due to risky behaviors and suboptimal reproductive health literacy. In Cimahi City, HIV cases increased by 61 new cases in 2024, with 9 cases occurring in the 15–19 age group. Although prevention is of the utmost urgency, conventional educational methods are often ill-suited to the characteristics of today’s adolescents, and there remains a lack of empirical evidence on the effectiveness of digital health education among vocational school students in high-incidence areas. Therefore, innovative digital health education, such as audiovisual telehealth based on Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model (HPM), is essential for improving preventive behaviors. The purpose to determine the effect of implementing the Health Promotion Model through audiovisual telehealth on HIV/AIDS knowledge among adolescents. This quantitative study applied a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design, wherein the intervention consisted of a structured health education program delivered through interactive audiovisual telehealth sessions. The research population comprised all students at Karya Bhakti Pusdikpal Vocational School, from whom a purposive sample of 75 respondents was selected. Data were collected via a validated structured questionnaire designed to comprehensively evaluate HIV/AIDS literacy and psychosocial behavioral determinants. The instrument was divided into three primary domains: (1) demographic characteristics; (2) cognitive knowledge, encompassing reproductive anatomy, HIV transmission vectors, and preventative strategies; and (3) psychosocial constructs based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model, specifically measuring perceived benefits of safe practices, perceived barriers to healthcare access, and self-efficacy in negotiating peer pressure. The collected data were then analyzed using the Marginal Homogeneity test. The statistical analysis demonstrated a highly significant increase in reproductive health knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS after the intervention (p-value = 0.000 < α = 0.05). Prior to the intervention, most adolescents had low knowledge, which shifted substantially to high knowledge post-intervention. The implementation of the Health Promotion Model via audiovisual telehealth significantly improved HIV/AIDS knowledge among adolescents, serving as an effective digital approach to advance adolescent reproductive healthcare. Future research should use randomized controlled trials with longitudinal follow-up to evaluate long-term knowledge retention and actual behavioral changes.

Abstract

The postpartum period requires special attention due to the various emotional changes experienced by mothers, such as feeling thrilled, overwhelmed, let down, weepy, and physically exhausted. To address these challenges, an intervention that integrates early mobilization, therapeutic communication, and enhanced family support is highly needed to foster successful psychological adaptation. Aims: This study aimed to determine the effect of a postpartum blues intervention on the psychological adaptation of postpartum mothers after cesarean section. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 35 postpartum mothers on their first to third postpartum day, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from August to September 2023 using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. The intervention was administered after completion of the pretest questionnaire, followed by administration of the posttest questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Univariate analysis showed that the mean psychological adaptation score increased from 44.83 before the intervention to 66.57 after the intervention. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant difference in maternal psychological adaptation before and after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: Postpartum blues intervention comprising early mobilization, therapeutic communication, and enhanced family support is highly effective in helping mothers navigate emotional changes and achieve optimal psychological adaptation during the postpartum period.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants and plays a vital role in supporting optimal growth and development. However, many breastfeeding mothers still experience problems with breast milk production, which can affect the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and sauropus (Sauropus androgynus) leaves are plants known to contain lactagogum compounds that can stimulate breast milk production. One easily consumed form of moringa and sauropus leaf preparations is pudding. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of moringa leaf pudding and sauropus leaf pudding in increasing breast milk quantity in breastfeeding mothers. The quantitative research method used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with two intervention groups. The research sample consisted of 15 people from the moringa pudding group and 15 people from the katuk pudding group with the inclusion criteria being breastfeeding mothers in Sambong Jaya Village, the working area of Sambong Pari Community Health Center and willing to be respondents, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Respondents were given an intervention in the form of consuming moringa pudding and katuk pudding twice a day for 7 days. The results of the analysis showed that giving moringa pudding significantly increased breast milk quantity (p = 0.005), while giving katuk pudding did not show a significant increase (p = 0.102). The conclusion of this study is that giving moringa pudding (Moringa oleifera) is more effective than katuk pudding (Sauropus Androgynus) in increasing breast milk quantity in breastfeeding mothers. Further research is recommended to use a larger sample and a randomized controlled trial design to obtain stronger evidence. Measurement of breast milk quantity should use an objective method with a standardized measurement time. Factors that can influence breast milk production, such as breastfeeding frequency, maternal intake, sleep quality, psychological well-being, infant age, and lactagogum use, also need to be controlled. Furthermore, longer intervention durations are needed to determine their effects over a longer period.
