Abstract

The Couple Therapy module is based on the website as a form of intervention for TB patients in dealing with sexual needs.  Key components of this web-based couple therapy module include programme content, use of multimedia, interactive online activities, and provision of feedback support. This study aimed to analyze the use  of a website-based Couple Therapy Module on Pulmonary TB patients in the Coastal Area of Nambo District. The method used in this study is a combined research/combination of quantitative and qualitative (mixed-method), namely concurrent triangulation design (a balanced mixture of quantitative and qualitative) with a total of 20 respondents. The results of the study quantitatively showed that the couples therapy website had a positive impact marked by 90% of respondents stating that the website is easily accessible, has an attractive appearance, updated information and is interactive because it provides online consultation features. This is confirmed by participants' expressions regarding participants' perceptions of this website. Positive perception shows the expression of participants stating that the website is easily accessible, attractive display, fast access to information and interesting information. Negative perceptions show the expression of participants stating that it is difficult to open the website. The conclusion of this study is that website-based educational media is one of the right solutions in transferring health information to pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best natural nutrition for babies and is needed during the first six months of a baby's life. Breast care and Al-Quran Murottal are methods for increasing prolactin hormone levels, and can also reduce the release of stress hormones, which are very important when mothers are breastfeeding. Quasi-experimental (quasi-experiment) with the approach used is a pre-test post test control group design, namely, research that uses a control group to be used as a comparison between pretest and posttest. The sample was obtained using a purposive sampling technique with a total of 39 postpartum mothers divided into (13 postpartum mothers in the breast care group, 13 postpartum mothers in the Murottal Al-Quran group, and 13 postpartum mothers in the control group). Prolactin hormone levels were measured before and after treatment. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and linear regression. The results showed that the breast care group had a value of p= 0.007<0.05, the Al-Quran mental group had a value of p=0.011<0.05, and the control group had a value of p=0.154>0.05. showed that the breast care group and Al-Quran murotal had an influence on prolactin hormone levels, whereas the control group had no influence on prolactin hormone levels. In conclusion, Breast Care and Murottal Al-Quran can be used to increase prolactin hormone levels in postpartum mothers so that postpartum mothers do not need to be confused about how to increase breast milk production.

Abstract

Breast milk is the main source of nutrition for newborns under six months. During the first six months of life, babies receive full breast milk. This literature analysis aims to find the latest data from scientific research on the effect of acupressure in increasing breast milk production. The method used as a research design is Scoping Review. A scoping review is a precursor to a systematic review, which aims to identify the types of evidence available on the topic being discussed. They used the PRISMA-ScR framework by searching for articles through relevant databases. The research showed that acupressure effectively increased breast milk production, and acupressure at the SI 1, ST 18, ST 16, ST 17 and LU 1 acupressure points could affect breast milk production. This is because acupressure is a non-pharmacological technique that can increase breast milk production by pressing, rubbing and massaging various body parts to increase breast milk production and calm the body. Of the total 199 articles obtained, according to the inclusion criteria, there were ten relevant articles. Articles published between 2019 and 2023, articles available in Indonesian and English, articles that discuss improving acupressure to increase breast milk production, and articles available in full can all be accessed easily.

Abstract

One of the psychological problems experienced by many pregnant women is their anxiety about choosing a birth attendant. This study aimed to analyze the influence of anxiety levels and family support on the selection of birth attendants. This study used a quantitative observational design and a cross-sectional approach. This study was carried out from November to December 2021 at the Bontomarannu Community Health Center, Gowa Regency, with a sample size of 32 pregnant women. Purposive sampling was used. The results of the study using the chi-square test showed that the level of anxiety was p = 0.007 and family support was p = 0.003 <a = 0.05. twelve pregnant women received poor family support, four (33.3%) respondents were good, and eight (66.7%) pregnant women were not good at choosing birth attendants, of the 32 respondents, 22 were pregnant women with mild levels of anxiety, 15 (68.2%) were good at choosing birth attendants, and 7 (31.8%) were not good. This means that there is a relationship between the level of anxiety and family support, and the choice of birth attendant. It is hoped that pregnant women who are anxious about choosing a birth attendant will always receive more assistance, whether from the family or a midwife so that there is no prolonged anxiety. Midwives are advised that in carrying out any midwifery care, they can identify problems and take action quickly and precisely, especially in carrying out ANC examinations for patients who are preparing for childbirth
