Abstract

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by low levels of hemoglobin in the blood, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, and the body's inability to transport oxygen efficiently enough. Anemia can be caused by various factors, including iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, genetic disorders, and chronic diseases. Recent research and data are also presented to provide a better understanding of the prevalence and impact of anemia in the global population. This study was conducted on 94 people suffering from anemia who were treated at Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital based on patient medical records for the period January 2022 - June 2023. This study is a retrospective observational descriptive study on anemia patients from medical records treated at Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital. Data analysis was processed using SPSS software. The results of this study indicate the distribution of anemia patients treated at Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital Makassar for the period January 2022 - June 2023, namely. Of the total sample of 94 people who suffered from anemia, there were 47 male patients (50%) and 47 female patients (50%). The results and conclusions that were obtained in patients with iron deficiency anemia with low MCV and MCH erythrocyte levels, while the MCHC erythrocyte levels cannot be used as a measure of someone affected by iron deficiency anemia and low serum ferritin levels are a strong sign of iron deficiency anemia.

Abstract

Oxytocin massage is also a solution to overcome irregular breast milk production. This massage is performed along the spine (vertebrae) to the V and VI costae bones to stimulate the hormones prolactin and oxytocin after giving birth. The purpose of this study was to determine the role, benefits and functions of the combination of breast care and oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers and to facilitate breast milk production. Quasi-experimental research method, with posttest-only control design. By using consecutive sampling technique. Interventions were given from the first day to the third day postpartum, then observations were carried out. Data normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk test, data analysis using the independent t-test. The results of the study obtained a significance value with the average number of combination groups and control groups. The conclusion of this study is that the combination of breast care and oxytocin massage is effective for breast milk production in postpartum mothers. When massage is performed on the spine, it can cause a neurogenic reflex that accelerates the work of the parasympathetic nerves to convey commands to the back of the brain. As a result of the stimulatory signal, the potential action process of oxytocin is released into the systemic blood from the posterior pituitary. In the bloodstream, oxytocin is delivered to the myoepithelial cells of the alveoli and uterus so that oxytocin will stimulate these cells which cause the alveolar sacs to be compressed and the ducts to shorten and widen.
