Abstract

Lower back pain is a common complaint experienced by pregnant women, especially in the second and third trimesters as the gestational age increases. This condition can interfere with daily activities and reduce the quality of life of pregnant women. Pregnancy exercise is one of the non-pharmacological interventions that is believed to help reduce lower back pain. This study aims to analyze the effect of pregnancy exercise on reducing the level of lower back pain in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters. The research method that can be used is a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post test design with one comparison treatment. The research sample was 28 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who experienced lower back pain and met the inclusion criteria. Measurement of the level of lower back pain will be carried out before and after the intervention period using a valid and reliable pain scale. The data collected will be analyzed using an appropriate statistical test to compare changes in pain levels between before and after the intervention. The results of the study showed that the average lower back pain before the intervention was 3.32 and Std.Deviation 0.772. The average lower back pain after the intervention was 2.25 and Std.Deviation 1.005. Based on the results of bivariate analysis using the Paired-Samples T Test, a significant p value of 0.000 (p <0.05) was obtained, so there is a difference in lower back pain in pregnant women. Thus, it can be said that there is a significant difference in lower back pain before and after pregnancy exercise. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide scientific evidence regarding the effect of pregnancy exercise in reducing lower back pain in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters, so that it can be a recommendation in midwifery care to improve the comfort and quality of life of pregnant women.Keywords: Postpartum exercise, uterine involution, normal delivery

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and contributes significantly to global morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension in Women of Reproductive Age (WUS) reaches around 28.2%, while the use of hormonal contraception—especially injections, pills, and implants—is still a popular choice among couples of reproductive age. Several studies have shown a relationship between the use of exogenous hormones and increased blood pressure, but specific data at the local service facility level are still limited. This study aims to determine the relationship between the use of hormonal contraception and the incidence of hypertension in WUS at BPM Fitria Ningsih Siadari, Karawang Regency, West Java. This study used a cross-sectional analytic design. A sample of 102 WUS (15–49 years) who actively visit BPM Fitria Ningsih Siadari will be taken using purposive sampling. The independent variables include the type of hormonal contraception and duration of use; the dependent variable is hypertension status (blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mm Hg). Demographic data and confounding factors (age, BMI, family history of hypertension, salt intake, physical activity) were collected through questionnaires and standard blood pressure measurements. Bivariate (Chi square) and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were used to evaluate the association, with a significance level of p <0.05.

Abstract

The results of the Population Census data carried out in 2020 showed that the maternal mortality rate reached 189 per 100 thousand live births. And based on these figures, Indonesia is ranked second highest in ASEAN, which is further than other countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei, which have achievements below 100 per 100 thousand live births. The maternal mortality rate is one of the important programs for the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) to pay attention to. Therefore, through this, the Ministry of Health carries out a care program from before pregnancy, pregnancy, childbirth, babies. And a number of cases of pregnant women giving birth include anemia 48.9%, hypertension 12.7%, KEK 17.3% and complications as much as 28%. The impact of childbirth on maternal mortality is also something that cannot be separated from the occurrence of maternal death. As a health worker with high integrity, it is very necessary to implement Mother and Baby Care. Indicators of quality service are in the process of pregnancy care, postpartum delivery carried out by health workers to the mother. One of them is carried out in the delivery process by explaining to the mother the technique of pushing when the opening is complete or 10cm. Do not do forced pushing (Valsalva) or tell the mother to push forcibly before it is certain that the opening is complete. This is one of the strict prohibitions conveyed by Bergastrom in his book. The process of delivering a baby can generally cause tears in the vagina and perineum. So when leading pushing in a mother in labor, it is necessary to do so as not to cause irregular tears in the birth canal. However, the process of delivering a baby through the birth canal or through normal delivery requires deliberate tearing to widen the birth canal. However, for further action, it is necessary to do hecting or stitches on the episiotomy wound which aims to restore the original shape of the perineal incision scar and stop bleeding as well as healing.

Abstract

Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) and pulmonary diseases such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis are common health issues that significantly contribute to global morbidity, especially among vulnerable populations. Herbal-based preventive approaches are gaining popularity due to their natural origin, minimal side effects, and potential to enhance immune function. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent literature on the effectiveness of herbal remedies as preventive agents against ENT and pulmonary infections, using the PRISMA protocol. Data were collected from PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect for the period 2019–2024. Five studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed quantitatively. The results indicate that herbs such as ginger (Zingiber officinale), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), a combination of propolis and Echinacea purpurea, licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and Phyllanthus niruri demonstrate significant preventive effects against upper respiratory tract infections, with an average effectiveness ranging from 36% to 46% and a combined mean of 40%. The forest plot analysis shows the highest effect from the propolis-echinacea combination (46%), followed by ginger (43%) and licorice (40%). These findings support the potential role of certain herbs as preventive agents; however, larger-scale clinical trials are needed for further validation. The integration of herbal medicine into modern preventive practices requires solid evidence-based approaches and clear regulation.

Abstract

Menstrual disorders and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are common gynecological conditions that significantly impact women's quality of life and productivity. Herbal medicine, used both traditionally and supported by scientific evidence, offers a promising preventive approach. This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of herbal medicine in preventing menstrual disorders and PMS. A systematic literature search was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Library for articles published between January 2013 and December 2023. Out of 1,143 articles identified, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. The most frequently studied herbs included Vitex agnus-castus, Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, and Foeniculum vulgare. Several randomized controlled trials reported significant improvements in PMS symptoms and menstrual cycle regulation. These findings support the potential of herbal medicine as an effective preventive strategy; however, further high-quality clinical trials with standardized preparations and long-term follow-up are needed for clinical validation.

Abstract

Neuro-ophthalmological, psychiatric, and toxicological disorders caused by exposure to toxic substances represent a growing global health concern. Preventive approaches using herbal medicine have gained attention due to their relatively favorable safety profiles and broad pharmacological benefits. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of herbal medicine in preventing disorders across these three domains, based on the latest scientific literature. The review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, with literature searches performed through PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect using keyword combinations such as "herbal medicine," "prevention," "neuro-ophthalmology," "psychiatry," and "toxicology." A total of 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that certain herbal plants, including Ginkgo biloba, Curcuma longa, and Melissa officinalis, possess neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anxiolytic properties. In conclusion, herbal medicine holds promising potential as part of a preventive strategy against neuro-ophthalmological, psychiatric, and forensic toxicological disorders, although further research is needed to achieve standardization and clinical validation.

Abstract

This study conducts an in-depth examination of 87 mixed-method studies that address war-related trauma in the Middle East over the past two decades (2000–2023), employing a systematic methodological meta-synthesis approach to formulate a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of armed conflict on affected populations. Quantitative findings indicate an exceedingly high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), reaching 73.4% among war refugees (n = 12,456), accompanied by significant comorbidity rates in the form of depression (68.2%) and anxiety disorders (59.7%), both of which clinically exacerbate recovery prognosis. Meanwhile, the thematic qualitative analysis successfully identified five principal dimensions of recurrent traumatic experiences, namely direct exposure to violence (82.3%), the loss of family members (76.9%), forced displacement (71.4%), existential uncertainty regarding the future (68.9%), and the disintegration of social cohesion within affected communities (65.2%). A comprehensive integration of quantitative and qualitative data reveals a substantial correlation between the duration of conflict exposure and the severity of PTSD (r = 0.78, p < 0.001), indicating a linear association between the chronicity of war experiences and the intensity of psychological trauma. Through meta-regression, this study also identifies several statistically significant protective variables that reinforce both individual and collective resilience, including the presence of family support (β = 0.45, p < 0.001), the intensity of religiosity (β = 0.38, p < 0.01), and the strength of community resilience (β = 0.42, p < 0.001), all of which function as moderating factors of traumatic impact. In contrast to the narrow focus of Storozhuk et al. (2023) and Boeije et al. (2013), who emphasized individual trauma, this study advances a broadened paradigm by exploring the collective dimensions of war trauma made possible through an integrative methodological design. While Zerach and Solomon (2016) previously proposed three core categories of traumatic experience, the present study expands the conceptual spectrum by identifying two additional themes and unveiling the complex network of interrelations among trauma elements. The principal novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an integrative model of war trauma that not only theoretically unifies individual and collective dynamics but also constructs a new methodological framework that may serve as a reference point for trauma research in conflict-affected regions marked by the volatile and multidimensional sociopolitical context of the Middle East.
