Abstract

Background: Massage has been practiced since around 3 months of age for the purpose of interacting with children, but there are few reports on its ongoing effectiveness, no unified views, and few reports on growth and development. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of massage given by mothers to their 3-month-old infants based on autonomic activity and growth development of 4- and 5-month-old infants one month later. Methods: The subjects were healthy 3-month-old infants and their mothers who were born as full-term, singleton babies. The study design was an inequivalent control group design: 25 mother-child pairs were massaged for one month and 12 mother-child pairs were not massaged. Data were collected twice, once on the first day at 3 months of age and one month later. As indicators of autonomic nervous system activity, axillary temperature before and after massage, heart rate and heart rate variability during massage were measured. As an indicator of growth, body weight was measured after the massage. As an indicator of development, mothers were asked to respond to a questionnaire (KIDS). The axillary temperature, rate of change in heart rate and heart rate variability, and KIDS scores were compared on the first day and one month later. Results: Axillary temperature and LF/HF ratio of children at 1 month were significantly lower after massage (p<0.05). Overall developmental age and expressive language domain of KIDS at 1 month were more developmental than in the non-massage group (p<0.05). Heart rate and HF were not significantly different after 1 month. Conclusion: It was found that when children received massage from their mothers for one-month, cardiac sympathetic nerve function was suppressed and the development of expressive language skills was promoted.

Abstract

Background: Stunting, underweight, and extreme thinness continue to plague Indonesian children's growth; stunting, underweight, and extreme thinness are still common in children under the age of five. One possible countermeasure is providing tactile stimulation (touch) to malnourished babies. Baby massage is a type of tactile stimulation that can help a baby's sense of touch develop. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of baby massage on baby weight gain to prevent stunting in babies below the standard weight curve. Methods:  Quasi-experimental pre-posttest one-group design is used in this study. The study included 21 malnourished babies under two who weighed less than the normal weight curve. Purposive sampling was used to collect the samples. The study was conducted at an independent midwife clinic providing baby massage services. Data was collected using questionnaires and checklist sheets. The dependent t-test is used in data analysis to perform a correlation test. Results: The results show a significant relationship between baby massage and baby weight gain (P-value 0.001; average weight in the first week was 7714.29 grams, 7909.52 grams in the second week, 8095.24 grams in the fourth week, 8180.95 grams in the fifth week, and 8228.57 grams in the sixth week). The p-value is 0.001, indicating a significant difference between the average increase in body weight from the first to the sixth week. Conclusion: Weekly massages given consistently and repeatedly to malnourished babies can help them gain weight and prevent stunting. The recommended action is to improve the mother's ability to massage the baby independently to increase the baby's weight

Abstract

Background: During the postpartum period, mothers often seek to maintain abdominal slimness by utilizing compression garments like stagen or bengkung. However, advancements in textile technology have led to a decline in the popularity of stagen, with corsets emerging as a preferred alternative due to their perceived practicality. Corsets, known for their flexible yet durable woven texture, serve as effective abdominal binders, aiding in both aesthetic preservation and posture Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of custom-made soft corsets in reducing abdominal circumference among postpartum mothers. The findings are anticipated to offer insights into the comfort and efficacy of using these corset models to promote abdominal muscle tightening in postpartum individuals. Methods: The design is quasi-experimental. Data analysis includes univariate analysis in the form of respondent characteristic data and multivariate analysis with General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM RM). Results: The difference in average abdominal circumference in the intervention group decreased, namely in measurement I of 89.4 cm (SD = 8.56), measurement II of 77.67 (SD = 7.51) cm and measurement III of 69.67 cm (SD = 8.41), while low back pain of measurement I of 2.73 (SD = 0.46), measurement II of 1.80 (SD = 0.56) and measurement III of 0.40 (0.51). Conclusion: Custom made soft corset treatment for postpartum mothers proved to be more effective in reducing the size of abdominal circumference, namely in the results of the analysis of the interaction between the second and third measurements, seen from a steeper slope, and in low back pain measurements seen from a steeper slope between the first and second measurements.

Abstract

Background: Every woman must have access to a Skilled Birth Attendant (SBA) for routine care and management of complications during labour, childbirth, and early postnatal period. SBA utilization has been identified as an essential approach of reducing maternal morbidity and mortality among reproductive age group of 15-49. Malawi as a developing country is also utilizing skilled birth attendants in an effort to reduce maternal death by 70 per 100,000 births. Report of 2020 from Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) on skilled birth attendants (SBA) revealed that Malawi was 89.8% by 2018, while Lilongwe District, the study area, was 67% of SBA utilization against a target of skilled birth attendant utilization of 95% by the year 2022. Purpose: To evaluate the facilitators of skilled birth attendants’ utilization in government and CHAM hospitals and their relationship to hospital delivery. Methods: This research used logistic regression test and quantitative cross-sectional approach. Questionnaires were used to collect data from December 2021 to February 2022 in 390 participants. The sampling techniques used were cluster and random sampling. Results: Based on logistic regression marital status (p=0.001, OR 14.56), pregnancy complication (p=0.000, OR 12.21), and ANC three times (p=0.010, OR 2.11) and four times (p=0.000 OR 0.76) were found to be significantly associated with hospital delivery. On the other hand ANC once (p=0.005, OR -2.33) and twice (P=0.008, OR -1.94) did not significantly influence utilization skilled birth attendants by pregnant mothers Conclusion: Based on the results, it is concluded that age from 15 to 30 and employment, marital status, education, complication, antenatal clinic, are the facilitators for pregnant mothers to utilize skilled birth attendant. These facilitators might be of importance for policy makers to consider when coming up with programs to increase skilled birth attendants utilization at rural area of Lilongwe District.

Abstract

Background: Childbirth is the effort or process of expelling a full-term baby which is often accompanied by pain caused by contractions in the uterus. From the research results, it was found that 32% of 300 women who gave birth during the active phase experienced severe pain, 57% moderate pain, and 11% mild pain. Evidence shows that fear of vaginal childbirth and anxiety experienced by many women during their pregnancy. Therefore, it then led to their decision to choose other methods of birth such as Section Caesarea (SC). The effects of anxiety during labor could potentially result in excessive levels of catecholamines causing decreased blood flow to the uterus, decreased uterine contractions, decreased blood flow to the placenta, decreased oxygen available to the fetus, and can increase the length of labor. One of alternative methods of dealing with pain during the labor process is using non-pharmacological such as endorphin massage and oxytocin massage. Purpose: The aim of this literature study was to present information about the effect of endorphin massage and oxytocin massage on the intensity of pain among mothers giving birth. Methods: This research method was a literature review study. Journal searches were carried out by applying online database such as ScienceDirect, Google scholar, Pubmed, Scopus, Portal Garuda. Articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: The study investigated the influence of endorphin and oxytocin massages on pain intensity in maternity mothers during childbirth, revealing a significant reduction in pain levels following the administration of these massages. Both endorphin and oxytocin massages were found to alleviate pain, induce relaxation, and promote feelings of comfort and calmness, thereby facilitating a smoother birth process. Conclusion: The influence of endorphin massage and oxytocin massage is useful in reducing pain in maternity mothers
