Abstract

Maternal anxiety in facing childbirth can have negative impacts such as increasing the risk of prolonged labor, excessive pain, and even obstetric complications. This study aims to determine the effect of deep breathing techniques on maternal anxiety in facing childbirth at Kuala Kampar Health Center in 2025. This research is a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 34 third-trimester pregnant women. The data obtained were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the t-test, and the results were presented systematically. The findings showed that among 34 respondents, before the education was provided, all 34 women (100.0%) experienced severe anxiety. After being given education on the Deep Breathing Technique to reduce maternal anxiety in facing childbirth, it was found that 28 women (82.4%) experienced mild anxiety, 5 women (14.7%) experienced moderate anxiety, and 1 woman (2.9%) still experienced severe anxiety. The t-test results showed a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant effect of education on Deep Breathing Technique on reducing maternal anxiety in the third trimester in facing childbirth. It is recommended that healthcare providers routinely provide information not only focused on medical aspects but also covering Deep Breathing techniques, relaxation training, stress management, and mental preparation for childbirth.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. Maternal anemia increases the risk of preterm birth, maternal and perinatal mortality, infectious diseases, and impaired fetal and infant growth and development Cavendish banana (Musa paradisiaca) is a tropical fruit rich in nutrients, including iron, vitamin C, folic acid, and other minerals, which may support hemoglobin formation. In the working area of the Baloi Permai Community Health Center, Batam City, 66 of 94 pregnant women recorded in 2025 had hemoglobin levels ranging from 8 to 11 g/dL. This study aimed to determine the effect of Cavendish banana administration on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at the Baloi Permai Community Health Center from June to August 2025. The population consisted of 66 pregnant women with anemia, with 40 participants selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The mean hemoglobin level increased from 10.0 g/dL before the intervention to 11.8 g/dL after Cavendish banana administration. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention hemoglobin levels (ρ = 0.001; ρ < 0.05). These findings indicate that Cavendish banana administration was effective in increasing hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Pregnant women are encouraged to undergo early antenatal screening and increase their intake of iron-rich fruits and vegetables, including Cavendish banana.

Abstract

Infantile colic is a common source of discomfort during early infancy and may affect feeding, sleep, and family well-being. Infant massage is a gentle, non-pharmacological approach that may help relieve discomfort and promote relaxation. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of infant massage therapy in reducing colic symptoms among infants aged 1–4 months at PMB Lia Nurmala, Jambi City, in 2026. A quantitative pre-experimental study was conducted using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Sixteen infants with colic symptoms were selected from a population of 64 infants through purposive sampling. Colic symptoms were assessed before and after a 20–25-minute infant massage session using an observation instrument with five indicators and a total score ranging from 0 to 15. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, and a paired t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The mean colic symptom score decreased from 7.94 (SD = 1.389) before the intervention to 1.31 (SD = 1.448) after the intervention, with a mean reduction of 6.63 points. The paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention scores (p < 0.001). Infant massage may therefore be considered a supportive non-pharmacological approach for reducing colic symptoms when performed gently and appropriately by trained personnel. Future research should involve larger samples, control groups, and multiple healthcare settings to provide stronger and more generalizable evidence.
