Abstract

Labor pain is a physiological phenomenon experienced by every pregnant woman. However, the response to this pain varies greatly, from screaming and crying to getting angry. One non-pharmacological method that can be used to reduce labor pain is back massage. This technique involves applying pressure to soft tissue, such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments, without causing joint movement. Massage not only relieves pain but also increases relaxation and improves blood circulation. However, an initial Bukit Hindu Palangka Raya Community Health Center survey showed that most pregnant women did not understand this technique. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of health education regarding back massage techniques on the level of knowledge of pregnant women in adapting to labor pain. This research uses a pre-experimental design with a "one-group pre-test and post-test design" approach. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling with 30 pregnant women as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test to assess differences in knowledge levels before and after intervention. The results of statistical analysis show a significance value < p-value (0.000 < 0.05), which means the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This shows that health education about back massage techniques has a significant influence on increasing the level of knowledge of pregnant women in adapting to labor pain. This research proves that health education effectively increases pregnant women's understanding of back massage techniques. This method can be a non-pharmacological solution to reduce labor pain. It is hoped that health workers can be more proactive in educating pregnant women through direct discussions or visual media such as flipcharts. Health education about back massage techniques has been proven to increase pregnant women's knowledge in adapting to labor pain. Implementing this kind of counseling routinely in health facilities is important to support the mother's comfort during birthing.

Abstract

Pneumonia can pose a serious threat to children's health. In pneumonia, increased lung secretions obstruct the airways, affecting breathing, especially in children who cannot expel sputum alone. If not treated immediately, this condition can be fatal. This study aimed to provide nursing care for children with nursing problems of ineffective airway clearance with Pursed Lips. Breathing using balloons can help improve gas exchange, which is observed by increasing oxygen saturation in the body and can help expel secretions. Participants in this study were pneumonia patients aged 3-5 years who were treated in the Bougenville Room of Dr. Haryoto Hospital, Lumajang, with nursing problems of Ineffective Airway Clearance and were not allergic to balloons. Data collection used interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the assessment showed that An. A male, 5 years old, has a weak general condition, ineffective cough, sputum, additional breathing sounds of rhonchi, and an increased respiratory rate. The nursing problem that occurred was ineffective airway clearance. The interventions carried out refer to the Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI) intervention, namely airway management, respiratory monitoring, and Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) actions. To attract children's interest, PLB uses balloons conceptualized as balloon play therapy, whose mechanism is similar to PLB with an atraumatic care approach. After nursing care for 4 days, the goals were achieved. Namely, changes in effective coughing increased, sputum decreased, additional breath sounds were absent, breathing patterns changed, and breathing frequency improved. Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) can increase alveolar expansion in each lung lobe so that alveolar pressure increases and secretions can be pushed into the airway during expiration. PLB can be carried out to increase knowledge as an innovative intervention in treating children with pneumonia diagnosed with ineffective airway clearance.

Abstract

Failure of exclusive breastfeeding is caused by poor milk production, which can be influenced by stress, lack of understanding, and the mother's physiological condition. Inadequate milk production can negatively affect the growth and development of the baby. Non-pharmacological interventions such as oxytocin massage effectively stimulate oxytocin and prolactin hormones that play an important role in breast milk production. The purpose of this study was to provide postpartum midwifery care with the problem of breast milk not flowing through oxytocin massage therapy. This research used a case study approach to Mrs. FHP's complaint of breast milk not flowing in the right breast. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation studies. The intervention was carried out by teaching the client's husband to use oxytocin massages, and monitoring was carried out for 7 days. Evaluation results showed increased breast milk production after oxytocin massage was performed twice a day for 15 minutes. Oxytocin massage is proven to be effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in overcoming the problem of poor milk production in postpartum women. Appropriate midwifery care can help mothers achieve exclusive breastfeeding success.
