Abstract

Introduction: Breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infants; however, many postpartum mothers experience inadequate breast milk flow during the early postpartum period. One non-pharmacological intervention that may support lactation is the application of warm breast compresses, which can stimulate milk ejection and improve blood circulation. This study aimed to examine the effect of warm breast compresses on breast milk flow in postpartum mothers at Lala Medicare Clinic. Methods: This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 30 postpartum mothers were selected using total sampling. Breast milk flow was assessed before and after the intervention. Warm breast compresses were applied at a temperature of 40–45°C for 15–20 minutes according to standard procedures. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The proportion of mothers with adequate breast milk flow increased from 26.7% before the intervention to 66.7% after the intervention, while those with inadequate flow decreased from 33.3% to 6.6%. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in breast milk flow before and after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusions: There is an effect of warm compress application on breast milk flow in postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Introduction: Sleep pattern disturbances are conditions in which individuals experience changes in the quantity and quality of sleep that result in discomfort. One of the factors influencing children’s sleep patterns is habitual behaviour, particularly lifestyles characterized by excessive dependence on technology. This study aimed to analyse the relationship between the level of gadget addiction and sleep patterns among fourth- to sixth-grade elementary school students at SDN X, Madiun Regency. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a simple random sampling technique. A total of 38 students from grades 4 to 6 participated in the study. Data were analysed using the Spearman Rank correlation test to determine the association between gadget addiction levels and sleep patterns. Results: The results showed that most respondents (76.3%) had a moderate level of gadget addiction, while 15.8% had a low level of gadget use. In terms of sleep patterns, 81.6% of the students experienced sleep disturbances, whereas 18.4% did not. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between gadget addiction levels and sleep patterns (p-value = 0.002; α = 0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a significant association between gadget addiction and sleep disturbances among elementary school students. It is recommended that students regulate gadget use to improve sleep quality, and that teachers provide regular education regarding responsible gadget use to support healthy sleep patterns.
